The New Grad Physio Podcast

Do you think you can prevent injuries from happening? Some physio's think they can for sure. More than that, there are even some physio's that call them self 'injury prevention specialists'... And some top sports teams around the World employ physio's with a sole job to stop injuries from happening. But I am not sure... And the evidence backs me up. Take a listen to this week's podcast episode and learn exactly why stopping most injuries is a lot harder than you might expect! Enjoy the show! Andy Barker The New Grad Physio Mentor PS.

I do one thing with each and every patient I see that most therapists never think to do... I assess their feet! The test I do takes less than 20 seconds to do, and it is the second test I do, after assessing gait. As simple and as quick as this test might be, it can be like gold-dust and give you the information you need to make sense of what is going on with your patient... Identify movement compensations that you will need to fix... So you can find, and fix, both the site and source of your patients symptoms. Learn exactly how to do this simple 'foot scan' test to find the true cause of your patient's problem and stop just treating their symptoms! Enjoy the show! PS.

Do you struggle making sense of neck pain patients? Maybe you worry that you might miss something serious and fear getting your hands-on with these type of patients. This is a common worry for new grad physio's especially when you do not have a lot of experience dealing with neck pain patients... And especially so if you are presented with a patient that has neural symptoms like pins and needless, numbness or weakness. Making sense of patients with neck pain need not be complex. Listen to this week's podcast episode to build your confidence managing patients with neck pain... To help you rule out sinister symptoms and give you the knowledge you need to deal with these kind of patients... Even as a young and inexperienced physio! Enjoy the show. PS.

I only use one special test at the shoulder. It is one of the most simple tests you can do at the shoulder... But it gives me valuable information as to the best way to manage my patient. Too many physio's, from new grad's to experienced therapists, overcomplicate their shoulder assessments. You think the shoulder is complicated... But that does not mean your shoulder assessment needs to be complicated too! Quite the opposite in fact. The more simpler you can make your shoulder patient assessment, the more clarity you will gain on how to best manage your patients problem. Learn which test I use with each and every shoulder pain patient I see... And why some of the other special tests, that I guarantee you are using with your own shoulder pain patients, are a complete waste of time! Enjoy the show! Andy Barker The New Grad Physio Mentor PS.
