The Go-To Physio: 'How To Design A Treatment Plan After The Initial Assessment'

Designing treatment plans should be our bread and butter, but in my experience of mentoring 100s of other therapists, many are lacking direction in their treatments. Each session follows the next with no real plan in place to link them all together. In this week's episode, I share with you how I design my treatment plans. This system has helped me get some excellent results, and build a 5 treatment room clinic with 15 staff on a great word of mouth reputation. Enjoy the show! And be sure to send...

The Go-To Physio: 'The Single Leg Bridge Clinical Test For Hamstring Load Tolerance'

Following on from episode 3, in this episode of The Go-To Physio, I share with you a test that I use all the time in the clinic to assess hamstring load tolerance. If you’ve listened to episode 3, you’ll know how important the hamstring is for glute function, so this test is very useful to me to ensure my athlete’s and patient’s are safe to return to sprinting, running, and lifting. This test is just a small part of my overall objective assessment and I use the findings to link with the other te...

The Go-To Physio: 'The Glutes are only as good as the hamstrings and gastroc allows it to be'

In episode 3 I make a confession - I used to prescribe glute exercises for everything! As I began to gain more experience, I had to deal with some really tricky injuries with a number of elite players at various professional clubs that I was working with, so I had to gain a deeper understanding of how the glute actually works in function. In this episode I share with you my understanding of the glute max, and how it relies on a good co-contraction of the gastroc and hamstring with the quad to be...

The Go-To Physio: 'Understanding The Patient's Story And Making Sense of The Objective Assessment'

In episode 2 of The Go-To Physio, I break down how to make sense of the objective assessment and being able to link it to the patient’s story. Doing this successfully is what allows me to be successful at steps one and two of my business growth plan ( which I discussed in detail on episode 1 ). Unless the therapist is clear on the problem and the solution they have no hope of being able to explain this clearly to the patient, and if they can’t explain it to the patient clearly then it’s hard for...
