The Physio Matters Podcast

ITS 2020! We are kicking the year off in our usual fashion as we have a team podcast. This time the 2 Jacks are joined by listener favorite Felicity Thow and Apprentice Amelia Bell-Bentley to discuss the past year, the next year and take a bash at what they think the biggest challenges facing MSK and how to fix them. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for further Chews Media developments through 2020...

WOW. Pete Moore, the original patient advocate, creator of Paintoolkit.org and all around legend was behind one of our microphones and you do not want to miss out. A broad spectrum of topics covered, no stone left unturned and tons to learn in this conversation. A slight warning - there is some naughty words in this conversation so don't have it blaring out within earshot of any children :) Follow...

This month we let Jack M loose on his favourite topic of Rheumatology, he brought in Mike Dare - a fellow Rheumatology Physio - to help him navigate the grey of recognising rheumatology conditions and referring them onwards. They tried to keep it as close as possible to experiences within MSK clinics to help clinicians apply the information to their clinics. Follow Jack @physiojack Mike @MRheumy a...

Something a little different this month as we bring you one of the sessions from #TheBigRs conference 2019. We always look for some new ideas to bring to a conference roster and this year we introduced what we called a "sparring session". Jack and Giles discuss some points of contention in the MSK world, inevitably touch on some of the pros and cons of First Contact Physios and how the whole indus...

We just cant stop, who else do you know that puts out 4 podcasts and runs a conference in the month of October?  We made use of Tom Jesson again before he left for America and with our packed Podcast schedule we did not want this one to get delayed. Narrative based medicine is something many of us think we do but don't do well. John and Tom have an amazing conversation which will change your...

Joletta Belton has become synonymous with aticulate presentation of a "patients" experience. We first had her over to the UK to present at 2018 #TheBigRs conference and fittingly the day after 2019s conference closes here she is in yet another unmissable episode of Patient Matters. Follow Joletta on Twitter @mycuppajo Jack @JackAChew and the team @TPMPodcast

With one week before #TheBigRs 2019 we wanted to bring to you a special treat. The audio from Martin Ong'wen's amazing keynote speech. It was absolutely mindblowing which you will gather from the amount of applause Martin receives. As this was recorded live the mics topped out on occasion so forgive us for that. Check out this years conference on the hashtag #TheBigRs, go an immediately follow Mar...

This month we take advantage of Tom Jesson before he abandons us to move across the Atlantic, he interviews Diarmaid Denneny the Chair of the Physiotherapy Pain Association and pain management physio! A perfect choice for us to let Tom loose on to ask all the questions he could think of to make us all better physios at managing pain! It really is irrelevant the setting that you work in, there is s...

We power on with our Health Matters podcast episodes kindly funded by those Kickstarted legends earlier in 2019! This month we talk a tricky subject with Alistair Beverley - Physiotherapy and Learning Difficulties. We all know rapport is vital and this group of patients can be difficult for us to interact with! If you think you won't learn a ton from this YOU ARE SO WRONG. As usual get back to us...

Wee, poop, a little bit on sex and a whole host of amazing clinical information this month with Elaine Miller, probably better known as Gussie Grips. Elaine's take on getting education to the masses is certainly unique but should it be?  Continence and the urinary system are underrepresented in undergrad degrees and physios lack confidence in this incredibly important area which causes distre...

Jack Chew jumps on Jack March's Physio Natters stream for a pair of interviews about the WCPT's decision to host their 2021 conference in Dubai, UAE.  We went live with James McAulay (against the decision) and Othman Kassabi (in favour of the decision) to discuss the issues in detail. As ever, let's keep nattering! Share your thoughts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @TPMPodcast

There are some serious revelations in this podcast that will make you sit up and be surprised! Check out PAL at their website here   https://palphysioadvisors.com/ and follow them on twitter @PALphysioaudit  Thank you to all th...

Tom Jesson has made the complexity of sciatic, referred and radicular pain accessible through blog posts, articles and tweet streams. Luckily he is one of the members of The Physio Matters Podcast Team and we were able to convince him to share his knowledge with us and you on this podcast! Tom takes us through the history of "sciatica", the nomenclature of descriptions and a host of other clinical...

This second session contains the brilliant Leanne Antoine talking passionately regarding the Value of Physio.  We go into the depths of how we can value the Physiotherapy profession in higher regard and how we may drive this reform.  Thank you to all those who supported the Kickstarter campaign that has made these shows possible. The Team are available @TPMPodcast and if you must follow...

Pete Malliaras is a name synonymous with tendons and this podcast does not dissapoint as he talks us through loading, managing and the research around this common pathology. Tendon issues are a physios bread and butter but there is still so much we don't know! Something for everyone in this podcast and you are definitely missing out if you don't tune in! Follow Pete @DrPeteMalliaras, Jack @JackACh...

We launch the Health Matters Podcast! This first session contains great friend of the show Mike James the Endurance Physio, you will likely have seen him on some of our materials on facebook from the COPA Show. Mike discusses the MSK professions and it gets spicey as he and Jack debate the prominence of Physio in this space, if this is deserved and what can be done to improve the overall landscape...

We are back with our second round of The Patient Matters Podcast. Welcoming back Adrian McGregor who was the star of not only a previous Physio Matters but also last years #TheBigRs conference where he wowed everyone alongside our other patient voices.

This month we give Jack C. a rest and Jack M. takes over the interviewing duties, recorded live at The COPA show in London we talk in great detail to Anna Boniface about Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport or RED-S. Anna is an absolute expert in this field lecturing on the subject but also with personal experience as an Endurance Athlete, her insight in this Podcast is absolutely invaluable. A mus...

 Jack and Jack talk #TheBigRs 2019 program and answer your questions on any topic you like! Originally a livestream on facebook you can go watch our grinning faces there if you prefer. You asked: - What do you think about the name-badge surname thing on twitter? - Where should Fibro patients be seen? Rheum? Pain? MSK? - Does JC cry every time there’s a tough patients story mentioned? - Is Phy...

This is the first session of our brand new "The Patient Matters Podcast" where we bring you the stories of the most important people in healthcare. What better way to learn than through the experiences of those who have walked the walk. This month we have Sam Williams who takes us through his journey of chronic joint pain and Hypermobility Syndrome, he has seen a vast array of healthcare providers...

Cauda Equina Syndrome is a big deal. Its a big deal for anyone unfortunate enough to develop it. Its a big deal for Health Care Professionals who have to recognise it and manage people appropriately when it is suspected. It is a true medical emergency and litagation is a very real possibility if it is missed! Lucky for us Chris Mercer walks us through all aspects of this tricky syndrome, from anat...

This is the bonus portion of session 64 where Rory and Maddy demonstrate Motivational Interview techniques on Jack himself! This is an excellent accompaniment to the full record and really helps to bring Motivational Interviewing into focus and apply it clinically.

Look out for the bonus portion of this session where Rory and Maddy demonstrate Motivational Interview techniques...

This month's Physio Matters is wall to wall gold. Everyone's favourite interviewer, Felicity Thow, looks to put the rest of us out of a job by once again using her experiences at the Pain Cloud conference to select and grill a guest. This time Neil O'Connell. Covering the perfections and pitfalls of evidence, Neil helps us to become better "consumers" of evidence. Something that as part of a scien...
