The Physio Matters Podcast

In this, the first of a series of five podcasts concentrating on Axial Spondyloarthritis for healthcare clinicians, Jack March - The Rheumatology Physio speaks to 3 members of AStretch about Physiotherapy provision for AxSpA. They cover a broad range of topics from the benefits of in-person and virtual appointments, transferrable skills that MSK Therapists already have, and personalising treatments. Susi, Heather, and Hannah are hugely experienced clinicians working with people with AxSpA and the information they provide is top class and of immediate use in the clinical environment.  Thank you to Novartis for sponsoring this series of podcasts. 

In this episode, Heather Mclellan describes her career transition from occupational health physio to business owner and how she is finally ready to describe herself as a full-time entrepreneur.

DOWNLOAD New Year New You - we hear this a lot, what is the science though? Should we all make new years resolutions and stick to them no matter what?

What can we learn from the giants of the industry, how do they think and how do they approach success/failure?  Information moves on and ideas change but there is still so much to gain from pioneers.

Psychologically Informed Practice - you might have come across the term, but what is it?   How can you start to apply it in clinic?  WHY should you start to apply it in clinic?  Daniel Arbilla is an Exercise Physiologist based in Sydney, Australia and visits the podcast to discuss all this and more with Anna Maria and Matt. From the similarities and differences between Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), to asking the question, "If someone is riding a horse and they think that it's a unicorn, are they still riding a horse?" this podcast explores how psychology is ever present in the clinical encounter and how our words and our behaviours can greatly impact the outcomes of a session. We really encourage you to explore more of Daniel's work with The Knowledge Exchange through their website and podcast;  https://tkex.org   As well as joiningThe Knowledge Exchange Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/186929841940541   To see more of what Daniel gets up to in his clinic you can find him on instagram and through the Barbell Psychology Website https://www.instagram.com/arbillaexercisephysiology   https://www.barbellpsychology.com.au

How comfortable are you asking for help to support your mental health/wellbeing at work? And if you ask, is help forthcoming? If you are are manager, business owner or colleague being asked for help, what resources and systems are in place to provide that kind of support? In this episode I talk to Susie Martin about her own experiences of asking for help at work and moving away from a 'stiff upper lip' culture. We also discuss the use of the Mind Wellness Action Plan at work.
