What does freedom actually mean for you as a clinic owner - and what is it costing you to get it?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we challenge the most common misconception in business ownership: that freedom means more time off. We unpack why having Fridays free doesn't mean your mind is free, and why true freedom is less about escaping your clinic and more about designing it intentionally. We explore how structuring your week with constraints can actually unlock more mental clarity, why embracing responsibility often leads to greater fulfilment than stepping back from it, and how to reverse-engineer your ideal work-life balance by getting honest about your finances, priorities and what you're really chasing.If you're tired of running a business that owns you instead of the other way around, this episode will challenge how you think about freedom — and give you the tools to build it on your own terms.Need to systemise your clinic?

What does it take to help build world champions? In Episode 64 of Leaders Getting Coffee, Bruce Cotterill sits down with David Abercrombie – former All Blacks physiotherapist, former CEO of Yachting New Zealand, and one of the people who has worked behind the scenes of some of New Zealand's greatest sporting achievements. Over a Physiotherapy career spanning more than three decades, David has treated elite athletes across rugby, sailing, basketball and Olympic sport. He was part of the All Blacks environment during one of the most successful eras in New Zealand rugby and worked alongside some of the country's most iconic sporting figures. He was on the spot for, Michael Jones injured knee, Zinzan Brooke’s famous dropped goal, and he kept Sir Peter Blake’s elbows working in San Diego. Four medals in one day’s sailing at the Rio Olympics remains a special memory. Born in Scotland and raised on Auckland's North Shore, David's journey took him from a young physiotherapist helping establish North Harbour Rugby's sports medicine programme alongside his great mate Dr John Mayhew, to becoming one of the most respected practitioners in New Zealand sport. Later, when the physical demands of physiotherapy forced an unexpected career change, he successfully reinvented himself as CEO of Yachting New Zealand, leading that organisation through 15 years of transformation and Olympic success. In the Leaders Getting Coffee podcast, David shares remarkable stories from inside the All Blacks, the America's Cup and New Zealand's Olympic sailing programme. He reflects on the pressure of elite performance, the evolution of professional sport, and how the sport of sailing is changing with the introduction of foiling, women joining men’s crews, the rise of SailGP, and the leadership lessons learned from working with some of the world's best athletes and teams. This is a conversation about far more than sport. It's about excellence, resilience, reinvention and what it really takes to perform at the highest level. If you love sports, you’ll enjoy this conversation. But it’s much more than what happens on the field or in front of the TV camera. David Abercrombie brings a genuine insight to our sporting stories and a behind the scenes glimpse into the factors behind sporting success.

Hello & Welcome To Today's Episode! Today's guest has a unique perspective as she's both a high performance athlete AND a pelvic physio who is passionate about keeping girls and women involved in sport.Clodagh McIntyre is a rising star in physiotherapy who is both an inter-county camogie player for Tipperary and a pelvic health physiotherapist. Clodagh discussed her journey from UCD graduate to working in private practice, her experiences with stress incontinence as an athlete, and the lack of pelvic health education in physio training programs. We explored how pelvic health issues affect female athletes, with statistics showing 7 out of 10 athletes leaving sport due to bladder leakage, and discussed the taboo nature of discussing these topics within sporting teams. We discussed the importance of education and support around pelvic health issues for female athletes, highlighting the lack of standardization in GAA and potentially LGFA, as well as emphasising the need to normalize conversations about these issues and prevent them from deterring athletes from participating in sports.Clodagh shared her upcoming trip to Kenya with Warriors for Humanity and Self-Help Africa, where she plans to plant trees and help communities, for which she is fundraising. Please see linked below to her fundraiser! https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/clodaghmcintyre Our shared passion is definitely showcasing the conversation and embedding pelvic health into female athlete wellbeing : there's SUCH a need for better education about pelvic health at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as within sporting organizations, to support female athletes and prevent them from dropping out of sport due to pelvic health issues.Want to learn more about supporting the Female Athlete, and promoting pelvic and menstrual health? The Menstrual Detective online course comes with FREE access to the course 'Pelvic Health for the Young Female Athlete, where we look at all the potential drivers for pelvic health dysfunction, beyond isolated strengthening for the pelvic floor muscles.

Are you paying your practitioners fairly - or just paying them?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we sit down with Sara Siami, founder of The People Plugin, to tackle one of the most avoided conversations in clinic ownership: practitioner pay. We break down how to build a clear pay philosophy that aligns with your clinic's goals, structure a remuneration framework that rewards high performers without blowing your budget, and run performance reviews that actually mean something. We also cover the true cost of employment (hint: it's more than the salary), how to benchmark against industry standards, and the legal minefield of contractor vs. employee classification - including the sham contracting risks that could cost your clinic big.If you're ready to stop winging pay conversations and build a structure that rewards performance and protects your bottom line, this episode is your playbook.Resources:You can find Sara Siami at https://www.thepeopleplugin.com/ and book in with her at https://meetings.hubspot.com/sara-siami Need to systemise your clinic?

Today on The Aging Project Podcast, we're joined by Michelle Kenway — one of Australia's leading pelvic floor physiotherapists, with over 1 million followers on YouTube. We talk honestly about bladder urgency, prolapse, leaking, constipation, pelvic floor strength and why so many women silently stop exercising after 50. If you're always looking for the toilet, crossing your legs when you sneeze, or avoiding exercise because you're scared of leaking or making things worse — this episode is for you. Michelle explains that your pelvic floor is a group of muscles — just like your biceps, glutes or core — and they need support, strength and proper training too. We also talk about the impact of declining estrogen after menopause, and how it can affect the tissues, muscles and support structures around the bladder, vagina and pelvic floor. Inside this practical and empowering conversation, we unpack: • How often you should actually be going to the toilet each day • Why going “just in case” can make urgency worse • How the loss of estrogen can impact bladder urgency, vaginal tissues and pelvic floor support • What prolapse actually is — in plain English • How to do pelvic floor exercises properly • The “moo to poo” technique for constipation and straining • Safe strength training and movement for women 50+ • Why leaking, urgency and prolapse are common — but not something you simply have to put up with If you've ever planned your day around toilets, stopped exercising out of fear, or felt like your body can't be trusted anymore — this episode could genuinely change the way you think about your pelvic health.

Are you getting short-term relief from bodywork, only for the pain to return a few weeks later? In this clip, I talk through why hands-on treatments can feel amazing in the moment but may not create lasting change if you're relying on someone else to “fix” you, and why movement and self-care matter so much for long-term healing.This clip explores how fascia and global body tension can influence recurring pain, why aggressive fascia release can look (and feel) intense, and how a slower, more intentional approach may support the body's own ability to reset. We also discuss walking as a powerful daily practice, why brisk walking is linked with a lower dementia risk, and the idea of walking backwards as a way to challenge the brain and build new movement pathways. Plus, there's a fascinating look at performance work with elite athletes, including why improving a jump can start with learning how to land, and how slow joint movements (around four centimeters per second) are used to reprogram movement patterns.Jason Van Blerk in conversation with Sarah Ann Listen to the full episode here.Watch the full episode on YouTube here.***This episode is sponsored by:NOWATCH: The compassionate health trackerConnecting body and mind with unique stress recovery insights so you can live fully today15% off with code LWBW15 at https://nowatch.com/DIOME: Rest deeper.

Feeling uncertain about what the upcoming NDIS changes mean for your clinic's future?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we explore what it really takes to build a financially sustainable NDIS clinic in a shifting funding landscape. We unpack why understanding your true costs per practitioner is essential, and how overlooking overheads and break-even points can quietly undermine profitability.

Carbon-plated running shoes have completely changed endurance sport. World records are tumbling. Recovery between sessions seems quicker. And for many runners and triathletes, they feel almost impossible to ignore. But are they coming with a hidden cost? In this episode, I'm joined by physio and sub-30-minute 10k runner Andy Smith to explore what these shoes are actually doing biomechanically, why we may now be seeing different injury patterns in runners and triathletes, and how to use carbon-plated shoes without breaking yourself in the process. This is a practical conversation about performance, durability, strength, and why “faster” isn't always as simple as it looks. 5 KEY POINTS 1. Carbon shoes change running mechanics - They reduce load on the calf and Achilles… but shift stress further up the chain. 2. Injury patterns may be changing - Andy is seeing more bone stress injuries in areas like the femur and pelvis. 3. Faster recovery can be deceptive - The shoes may allow athletes to handle more training volume… before the body is ready. 4. Strength is now non-negotiable - Foot, calf, hip, pelvis and core strength all become even more important. 5. Most athletes transition too aggressively - Andy recommends gradually building into carbon shoes rather than using them for every run. 3 TAKEAWAYS 1. Don't let the shoes do the work - The stronger you are, the more benefit you'll get from them. 2. Protect your weak links - Hip stability, calf strength and foot control matter more than ever. 3. Build gradually - Introduce carbon shoes slowly and strategically. KILLER QUOTE

Was entscheidet im Rennen wirklich – nur VO2max und Wochenkilometer? Oder auch das, was zwischen den Ohren passiert? In dieser Folge von MainAthlet spreche ich mit Sportpsychologe Henning Thrien über ein Thema, das im Fußball längst angekommen ist und in der Leichtathletik gerade erst Fahrt aufnimmt: kognitive Fähigkeiten im Sport.Henning arbeitet seit Jahren im Hochleistungssport und ist Teil des Support-Teams von OAC Europe (On Athletics Club Europe) – einem professionellen Mittelstrecken-Team, das seit 2022 Europas Top-Talente entwickelt. Trainiert wird im Sommer in St. Moritz, im Winter unter anderem in Südafrika (Dullstroom) und in Spanien – mit einem interdisziplinären Staff, der Coaching, Physio, Athletik und Sportpsychologie eng verzahnt. Im ersten Teil der Episode tauchen wir tief in die Frage ein: Wie misst man Kognition? Henning erklärt ein game-basiertes Testsystem (vier „Brain Games“, ca. 45 Minuten), das exekutive Funktionen wie Arbeitsgedächtnis, Inhibitionund kognitive Flexibilität sichtbar macht – also genau die Skills, die in hektischen Rennsituationen über Position, Timing und Entscheidungen mitentscheiden können. Spannend wird's, als wir den Transfer in die Praxis machen: Was passiert, wenn ein Läufer im 1500m-Rennen Tempowechsel zu spät „checkt“? Liegt's an Wahrnehmung, Emotion, Fokus – oder an der Art, wie Informationen verarbeitet werden? Henning beschreibt, wie aus Testergebnissen konkrete Actionpläne entstehen: von Trainingsempfehlungen bis zu Race-Prep-Routinen.Ein Highlight: das Konzept des „Mental Programming“ – klare Wenn-Dann-Szenarien, Visualisierung mit allen Sinnen, Selbstgespräche und (ja!) sogar Voice-Memos, die Rennabläufe so verankern, dass du unter Druck schneller und sauberer abrufen kannst.Im zweiten Teil geht's hinter die Kulissen von OAC Europe: Wie sieht moderne Performance-Betreuung aus? Wie arbeiten die Disziplinen im Staff zusammen? Und warum kann zu viel Tracking (HRV, Schlaf, Daten) manchen Sportlern sogar die Lockerheit nehmen?Wenn du Leichtathletik liebst, im Training hart arbeitest und im Wettkampf noch „mehr rausquetschen“ willst: Diese Folge gibt dir einen neuen Blick auf Leistung.Alle aktuellen Partner findest du hier:NordVPN mit verschlüsselter Verbindung und blockiert schädliche Seiten & Tracker.Exklusiv: Großer Rabatt auf das 2-Jahrespaket + 4 Extra-Monate gratis.

Physio, runner and friend of the pod Sam Slykhuis joins Elise for a whistle-stop tour of one of the most dreaded words in distance running: stressie! Using Elise's own grade one tibial stress reaction from last year as a case study, Sam breaks down what bone stress actually is, why it happens, the warning signs runners should never ignore, and how to approach rehab without losing your mind. There is plenty of practical gold in this one, including tips on lifting heavy, how plyometrics can support bone health, and why uphill running is not always the safe rehab option people think it is. Plus: Aqua jogging survival tips, treadmill myths, why runners need deload weeks, the problem with chasing numbers on Strava, and the very real danger of skipping long run progressions and then jumping straight back in. A must-listen for any runner. -- Sam Slykhuis is a practicing physiotherapist, runner, surfer and co-owner of Marna Physio in Armstrong Creek and Belmont Physiotherapy Centre in Geelong. With a special interest in running-related injuries, Sam works closely with athletes to help them manage niggles, recover from injury and return to full training. Sam also offers VO2 max and lactate threshold testing to help runners better understand their training zones. He completed his Physiotherapy degree with Honours at Monash University, is a qualified ASCA Strength and Conditioning Coach, and is currently studying a Master's of Sports Physiotherapy through the University of Bath. -- Subscribe to Run With It wherever you get your podcasts, so you don't miss a thing! -- Follow us on Instagram: @runwithit.pod @elisebeacom -- Marna Physio website -- Intro/outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

In this episode of Chewing It Over, Jack speaks with Finn Stevenson about Flok Health and the idea of an AI physiotherapy service for back pain. Finn frames the problem clearly: in musculoskeletal care, especially within the NHS, the issue is often not knowing what works, but getting timely access to the care that already exists. With demand rising faster than workforce growth, traditional one-to-one care models struggle to keep up.Finn explains that Flok is not positioned as a software tool sold to clinicians, but as a regulated clinical service that combines AI with remote human physiotherapy support. Its current focus is spinal pain, particularly the large group of patients who can benefit from personalised exercise, reassurance, behaviour change support, education, and psychologically informed care. The ambition is to automate large parts of the pathway safely and consistently, while freeing face-to-face clinicians to focus on more complex cases.A major part of the conversation explores how this works. Finn distinguishes Flok's system from standard large language model chatbots, arguing that healthcare needs much tighter behavioural control. He describes a rule-based clinical reasoning system combined with a video-based interaction model built around “Kirsty,” a real physiotherapist whose filmed responses are assembled in real time to create a more human and engaging consultation experience.The discussion also tackles controversy: what counts as “physiotherapy,” whether this threatens the profession, and what happens when technology enters clinical care at scale. Jack remains probing but open-minded, while Finn argues that the bigger ethical issue is leaving patients stuck on long waits for care we already know how to deliver.Like, Comment, Subscribe all that good stuff :)

Send a textOn this episode of the Joint Dynamics Podcast, Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics sits down with Adam Meakins – “The Sports Physio” – a clinician and educator known for his sharp tongue, sharp mind, and refusal to sugar-coat the truth. Adam has built a global following by calling out gimmicks, questioning overcomplicated rehab systems, and standing up for simple, honest, evidence-based care.Adam and Andrew dive into the realities of modern healthcare: burnout, tick-box diagnoses, and 10‑minute appointments that barely scratch the surface. Adam explains why reassurance, clear communication, and simple, doable exercise plans often beat fancy tools and magic bullets, and how social factors, beliefs, and loneliness can drive pain as much as tissue damage. He talks through how he builds rehab around load and movement (not miracle fixes), why he keeps most home programs to just a couple of key exercises, and how he navigates social media wars, misinformation, and controversy without selling out his integrity. If you're tired of physio fluff and want practical, no‑nonsense strategies for pain, performance, and better thinking in healthcare, this conversation is for you, it is at times thought-provoking and inspiring as Adam champions the essence of compassionate care, authenticity, and ongoing education in the field of physiotherapy.Show sponsor is Muvitality Medicinal Mushrooms for modern day health and wellness | Mu …Go to muvitality.com and use the code JD10 to receive a 10% discount on your purchase of Mu Functional mushrooms such as Lions Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Reishi, and Turkey tail functional mushroomsEnjoyHere are some useful links for this podcastWebsite - https://www.adammeakins.com/IG - https://www.instagram.com/adammeakins/?hl=enRelevant episodesEpisode 125 - Combined Movement theory with Dr Chris McCarthy - https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-125-combined-movement-theory-with-dr-chris/id1527374894?i=1000705241684JOINT DYNAMICS links:Joint Dynamics Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JointDynamicsHongKong/Joint Dynamics Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/jointdynamics/Joint Dynamics Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQZplKxZMSvtc6LxM5WckwJoint Dynamics Website - www.jointdynamics.com.hk Host - Andrew Cox - https://www.jointdynamics.com.hk/the-team/trainers/andrew-cox
Your brain has two jobs when you're injured: keep you safe and keep you functional. So it finds a workaround. It automates it. And it keeps running it — long after the injury is gone.Sound familiar? In part two of Move for Your Brain, Amy and Marian Barnick explore how movement compensations work exactly like thought habits — locked in by the brain, running on autopilot, and quietly working against you until you learn to see them.If you've ever wondered why your knee still aches years after an old injury, why your shoulder never quite came back after surgery, or why you move differently on one side than the other — this episode explains what's actually happening. And more importantly, what to do about it.What You'll LearnHow the brain automates movement compensations — and why it never lets them go on its ownWhy treating the symptom (the pain) without retraining the brain never fully worksThe parallel between movement habits and thought habits — and why both require the same approach to changeWhat Marian's Kinetic Stacking Method is and how it breaks compensation cyclesThe Lindsey Vonn discussion: what a torn ACL after a knee replacement reveals about automated neural patternsWhen to see a physiotherapist vs. a kinesiologist — and why you often need bothWhat to Listen For[0:00] Your brain wins always[1:53] Menopause weight gain and movement compensations[3:51] How babies learn to move: the kinesiological blueprint for healing[5:19] "Your brain has two jobs: keep you safe and keep you functional"[7:47] The RESTORED Protocol and the exercise factor[8:09] Physio vs. kinesiologist: who does what and when[10:16] Lindsey Vonn injury discussion[11:44] Automated movement in elite athletes — the neural pathway explanation[14:28] "The muscles are just the worker bees"Resources Mentioned• Thoughts Are Habits Too by Amy Lang: [link]• RESTORED Protocol (free guide): moxie-club.com/restored• Marian Barnick's free lower body mobility guide: [Marian's link]• Part 1 of this series: Episode [###]RESOURCES: Book a FREE Discovery Call with Amy Order Amy's book Thoughts Are Habits Too: Master Your Triggers, Free Yourself From Diet Culture, and Rediscover Joyful Eating.

Sexier Than A Squirrel: Dog Training That Gets Real Life Results
Send a textWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!Better performance and fewer injuries don't start with fancy equipment. They start with the basics: a balanced stand, a square sit, and the patience to slow down.In this episode, Lauren sits down with canine physiotherapist and hydrotherapist Mel to talk about what really builds strong, capable dogs. They chat about why stillness is so important, how a steady stand builds strength, body awareness, and focus, and why those skills carry over to everything from agility to everyday handling.Mel explains the kinds of exercises she would typically start with in a physio setting and how those same foundations can be thoughtfully built into the fitness work you do at home. You'll hear how she uses forward focus to reduce fidgeting, how she builds a true square sit, the value of small upward reaches to wake up the core, and the importance of coaching clean sit-to-stand transitions without shuffling feet or dipping spines. Mel also explains how she picks the right starting point for the dog in front of her - often core control before paw perfection - and why it's so important to set both dog and owner up for success. Lauren admits she was surprised to learn how long muscle really takes to build (typically six weeks before you see proper, measurable development) and Mel highlights the other key piece of the puzzle: fuel. If you're asking your dog to grow muscle while keeping calories the same, it simply won't happen. Strength takes time, consistency, and enough nutrition to support the work. If you're fascinated about canine physiotherapy or curious about safe, simple foundation exercises you can build into your dog's routine, this episode is a must listen.Support the showIf you're loving the podcast, you'll love our NEW Sexier than a Squirrel Dog Training Challenge even more!

I got to see both women who had what I thought was ACNES and was able to hear what happened after treatment. I also have now been using the Moti Physio for about 7 weeks and have learned how to improve the accuracy of the scan. Here are a couple cases where the scan was useful for many reasons.
