PHYSIO-ism

My wife Belinda has trained me well and I remember all our important dates. 26 Nov 2011 I married the woman of my dreams. A quick podcast to say hello and to tell the world I love you. Here's the the next 8 years!

What's important is that we try before we buy! That works both ways. I prefer the potential new team mate to come and shadow us while we work to make sure they're comfortable with our setup and how we run things. Secondly, we also want to make sure the prospective Physio is attentive, caring and self directed in our dealings as they are shadowing. Win-win all around!

A lot of our processes in building our team is making sure that they are good people from the get go. It may not mean they're a superstar Physio but that's ok because they can grow and learn their craft. If you're a bad person - there's no way to fix that. Here's an update on the seek.com.au effort so far!

After conducting a 2 week time study I realised I need more help. This prompted me to document the specific jobs/roles that need to be fulfilled and I need to understand how I can support the new team members. In the end I place an advert on seek.com.au and it was a successful campaign. Why? Because I knew who we were after based off my 2 week study.

Given that a lot of high school students have just finished their time in secondary school we thought it may be helpful to revisit what our Physio's were doing at that time! Leki shares his high school experience and explains how he got into Physio (or the direction) that lead him towards a career in Health. Enjoy!

Quick update - we've decided to press pause our association with Footscray Rugby Union Club. We are looking to partner with clubs closer to our footprint of clinics! Watch this space!

So what are the important things? Family and Self Care. Again, I strongly recommend you conduct a 2 week time study to analyse where you are allocated and mis-allocating your time!

After completing a 2 week time study I found some challenges with where my time is being spent! Highly recommend you keeping a time study for 2 weeks - it can show you where some changes may need to be made. In this case, I need to offload my Tactical work and move towards more Strategic work!

What I've come to learn from my coaching work with Alex Charfen is that there are tasks I'm completing that can be grouped into something that's Tactical or something that's Strategic. Tactical tasks are repetitive but necessary things that need to be done in order to move forward. E.g. making a pizza Strategic tasks are times where you are planning the desired outcome of Tactical tasks. E.g. thin...

Recently I was interviewed by a group of GPs to determine whether we would be the right fit for providing healthcare to their customers. Typically, I'm a bit nervous (like most people) when you're going into an interview. Something I've been working on is answering question thoughtfully and asking questions in a manner that gets more information from them then if I asked a 'yes or no' question. I'...

The all you can eat buffet's can be the Achilles Heel for any well meaning person! What you can do is establish some basic do's and don'ts that resonate with your basic gameplan to ensure you're not overdoing or underdoing things. For example, we avoided any fried foods and ate vegs with roast lamb and beef. My weakness is always going to be the dessert ;)

When you have a health plan that you've subscribed to - it can often be a challenge to maintain your goals when you're at a party. In November we group batch birthdays into one MEGA party. This year it was based at an all you can eat venue - The Braybrook Hotel. What helps us is troubleshooting where we may go wrong and what we need to do to keep ourselves on the straight and narrow path. Sometime...

We have a family tradition where not only does the birthday person have pancakes with candles for breakfast... But we celebrate a birthday week! I couldn't do half as much of what I could without the help of my beautiful wife Belinda. I love you!

My best old mate Vernon dropped in with his wife Rosary and his 5 kids. Along with my 2 kids and my little newborn the house was full of energy! It's funny as we've been busy doing our thing for over 8 months but we can connect from where we left off last. That's how old friendships can be. I appreciate all my old friends near and far!

With such an expansive growth within the Company this year - I need to review this idea of keeping my own House in Order. Family life is happy then I can launch 100% into any endeavour knowing well that I have a strong base. Is your House in Order?

I've been practising weekly ice baths for over 6 months now. I started by filling the bath at home with cold water and putting 2 x bags of ice in... lasted 3 mins. After a few weeks I increased to 3 x bags of ice. Then I increased from 3 to 5 mins. After seeing Dave O'Brien at The Fitness Expo he suggested that I should be in the water for 10-20 mins to allow my core temperature to drop for the re...

As apart of the rapid growth of our Business I sought out coaching to deal with the expansion. Last I need is for this to break and come crashing down. In Jan 2019 ProPhysio+ was solely based in Truganina.  In April 2019 we added our Kyneton location and Point Cook in October 2019. We are also opening location #4 early 2020! Talk about growth!

Hosted at The Melbourne Convention Centre - the Fitness Expo was a chance to see and feel the pulse of the Fitness industry. We posted a Vlog on our Youtube channel about the day - check it out >> HERE << Will definitely be returning again next year!

It was the end of a looong Rugby season and so we wanted to celebrate it by having a good old night out with the crew! We hired an Airbnb, had some drinks, wandered out to Richmond Hotel then finished up at Precinct. Great night out and thanks to the fellas for a great season! We are looking for ProTrainers 2020 so if you're interested please click the link below and refer a friend! >>> C...

My good friend in Rugby Eric Tom reached out on Facebook and asked if anyone would be available to assist with Pacific Cup 2019! That's all it was. An ask... and we responded. Aarvi did very well and the day was dreary but was an opportunity for us to get ProTrainer and ProPhysio+ out there!

We've been recording weekly vlogs talking about all things related to health within our Clinic! Check it out >> HERE <<

Sean Stephenson (RIP) presented on this idea of the Coast Guard having to choose who to save when they cannot save everyone. Watch the short 2min clip >> HERE <<. Help those who are swimming towards you!

I have been a huge fan of Alex Charfen's work and I've recently subscribed to his service so I can be a better and effective leader. This is key as I am the bottle neck of the business and in order to achieve the goal of what we're building I need to get out of the way. More to come...

The last 18 months of growth within the Company has been fast and furious! A lot of what we've been able to achieve has been through a system and process which has all team members on the same page. If you are an AFL player they know long term and short terms goals off the top of their heads... For example, their long term goal is to win the Premiership, in 3 months time they want to be in peak fi...
