About this episode

The episode discusses how non-physiotherapists can sometimes provide better patient care than traditional physiotherapists.

Some of the best therapists I have worked with, don't have a physio degree! That includes sports therapists, sports rehabbers and soft tissue therapists. Many physio's put themselves (and the physio profession) on some sort of pedestal... Because it is more 'recognised' 'regulated' and largely because it has been around longer. But in doing so, I think we miss a trick. So many other professionals do a much better job than us as physio's to help their patients... And we all can (if we open our eyes and ears) learn so much from these other professionals... To become better physio's ourselves. Learn more in this weeks new podcast episode. Enjoy the show!
