We hear lots about the climate, crisis, announcements and so on, but why should MSK Therapists care?
Jen McNesfield discusses this with Jack and if you werent convinced before, you will be!
With Jon Head, Helen Underwood & Martin Christensen
2 more tales from clinicians, Jon and Helen who have made the move into a different, but related careers. And a real-time account from Martin Christensen who only stopped working as a physio 2 weeks ago. He's not sure yet, if he's jumped from the frying pan, into the fire!
What's it matter if hormone profiles change? Phillipa Butler is here to explain to Jack that we should be extremely bothered about the Menopause!
Nicola Graham has smashed a podcast series all about High Performance, she discusses this with Jack and they explore whats next. 3 Months Free RehabMyPatient
With: Kim Knight, Orla O'Doherty, Jane Mitchell, Simon Pearce
Hear the inspiring journeys of four physiotherapists who successfully transitioned into new careers. Each interview delves into their motivations, that moment when they decided to make the move, things they miss and things they don't.
In their own way, each of my guests has explored the art of career reinvention and the power of following your passion.
Jennifer James is trailblazing the way in obesity management and understanding. This was originally a Chewing It Over episode that Jim couldn't bring himself to edit down as the full hour is absolutely fantastic conversation.
Unmissable.
Quality Improvement doesn't need to be anxiety inducing (those notes audits!)
Jo Kitchen, network co-ordinator for Allied Health Professionals Quality Improvement (AHPQI) explains that it simply means finding ways to make things better. When asked "What matters to you?" many therapists responded that knowing they were delivering a quality service, improved their sense of fulfilment and well-being. Jo describes how she has learned to include everyone (service users and those delivering services) in discussions around 'how we got here, what the problems and potential solutions might be' - rather than feeling she has to go it alone and fix everything herself.
A podcast special and tell everyone but we are getting the bug back for longform with much much more to come!
Joanne Elphinston is not unique in exploring movement but her approach to "beautiful" movement certainly steps further than most. Is this good/bad, necessary/over the top? No stone is left unturned...

Michael is speaking at Therapy Live 2024
In this episode we talk about why the tennis backhand is better than the forehand, about the frog who went a wooing.....oh and a bit about Tom's writing career.
One whole lot of stress occurred when the CSP announced the insurance held with them will no longer cover "Thoracic Acupuncture". What does that mean? What are the time frames? How can you go about making sure you are insured?!?! Jonathan Hobbs is here from the AACP (he is the chair so he knows!) to answer all these questions

I approached Charli when I noticed that, as well as being a clinician, she is also a celebrant. What I didn't know is that she is also a wine expert, a gay, autistic woman with ADHD who is in the middle of a phd looking at the effect of rubber pitch services on injury in male rugby players. And we cover all of that in this epsiode!
Are Chiropractors better than Physios...?

Siobhan Cowling talks to Jo about what led her to leave Physiotherapy, coping with the transition, what she misses about work, the negatives, 'Who am I?' and the positives, the tips and tricks she's learned along the way. Siobhan says she still hasn't become comfortable with the R word, but she's found a great alternative and is loving her refirement!
Adam Dobson is here to chew over low back pain. One of the most complex Musculoskeletal conditions we deal with, nothing and everything works. Right?
The story behind the headlines. The Community Access Day hit the headlines in a big way because of its volume and success. What led up to it, how were issues mitigated and how might we reproduce it elsewhere!
Fiona Sweny joins this episode to dissect the common performance themes and challenges that span the Sport, Military and Healthcare industries.
Fiona has had a hugely varied career from Physiotherapist to Army Officer to MBA to digital health. This episode touches on the power of reflection, resiliency, psychology safety, leadership, effective and adaptive communication. Alongside the huge breadth of transferable skills that practitioners develop throughout their clinical careers and the intersection of corporate well being and corporate athletes. I first connected with Fiona a couple of years ago when I was searching for Physiotherapists who had also undertaken an MBA and I was inspired by her career and experiences. I hope you are inspired and enjoy this short, action packed, first conversation on the Chewing Over High Performance Podcast.

In my ignorance, when Felicity suggested this topic I thought 'that'll be interesting, but I wonder how much being diabetic affects identity.' As a result of this conversation, I am humbled and now fully educated as to the extent of monitoring, tweaking and managing this condition requires, and also the effect on Felicity's view of herself as a professional. At one point, in the interests of being human and illustrating that it's okay to have needs as a clinician, Felicity goes off to inject herself with insulin, and I have a wee!
What on earth happens when a health business grows so that you don't know the names of all your staff's kids anymore? It's ok though because the money is rolling in right... Stuart has experienced it all and the journey is FASCINATING!

Being Inclusive is not just about providing access ramps...
Emily Kramer Throckmorton is here to chew over how to be actually inclusive with those who need adaptations to exercise. Including those who want to lift weights or outstrip you at CrossFit WODs...
Breasts! 50% of the population have them and yet are mostly ignored in the clinical context. Or maybe even worse...

Never knowingly staying on theme, we cover house moves, kids exams, agony aunts, working with your namesake and many other unrelated topics. Hope you enjoy meandering with us.
This is the second in a 2-part series with Karli Gibson, a physiotherapist with diagnoses of ADHD and dyslexia. Having described the struggles and the suffering as she puts it, in epsiode 1, this time Karli focuses on the solutions she has found and the evolution this has afforded her both as a person and a physiotherapist. We also discuss how, as employers and heads of organisations where people with neurodiversity are working (ie all of us) we can help make those environments easier places to navigate for all. Many of us are probably scared of getting things wrong, or not sure how to get it right. Karli's overriding message is to stay curious.
Feisty title... Feisty Podcast...
What does value even mean? How do we consider measuring our value, who decides what is value, what do we do with measures of value?
Thats before we even get to what do we do with clinicians who aren't providing value...
Injections for Osteoarthritic Knees is a big, evolving, controversial topic. On the one hand, emerging evidence suggests the cheap, easily available steroids are damaging to joints, on the other questions remain over effectiveness of more expensive injectables like Hyaluronic Acid and PRP. Combine that with Physiotherapists having lost the rights to inject PRP and the landscape is turbulent to say the least. Bilal Barkatali discusses all of this with Jack in what will absolutely be seen as a very well nuanced and balanced conversation that assesses the current state of play and provides real information on who to consider for which injectables. Thank you to EOS Active for sponsoring this episode. Find out more about them HERE: https://eosactive.co.uk/
Hyaluronic Acid is commonly lumped in with other injectables like PRP, Steroids, stem cells and so on. In some ways of course it is similar, the indications and method of delivery are not miles apart. Should we be thinking about it differently for Osteoarthritic Knees however? Jim Carr of Eos Active is here to Chew It Over with Jack and open up this conversation to make sure we are not dismissing potentially beneficial treatments for Knee OA which is difficult to manage! A huge thank you to Eos Active for sponsoring this episode, find out more about them HERE: https://eosactive.co.uk/ Stay tuned at the end for a sneak preview of Physio Matters Session 104 where Jack talks in detail about injectables with Bilal Barkatali!
This is the first of a 2-part series.
Episode 1 - The Struggle and The Suffering
Episode 2 - The Revolution and The Evolution
Karli Gibson is an Occupational Health Physiotherapist.
In this first epsiode, Karli talks to Jo about…
Feeling thick, but smart.
Learning to cope, and learning to mask.
Getting diagnosed with dyslexia and discovering resources.
Getting diagnosed with ADHD, and finding support, but not so many resources…yet.
You can’t fail to hear Karli’s determination and commitment to finding her own path, not just in Physiotherapy but also in life. This episode is about the struggles as she puts it, but even here, there are hints at the evolution to come.
Jim was just a little excited to indulge in one of his favourite topics for a full podcast - Osteoarthritis. Ossur produce a wide range of limb products, of particular interest are their medial offloader braces for knee osteoarthritis. These provide a very real option as part of a management program for this tricky condition and Jim wanted to delve deep into how and why they might work. A lot of ground covered as he discusses with Giles the construction of the braces, how they work and who they might work for, improving compliance/tolerance and the cost implications. You can find out more about Ossur here You can also contact them for more information by email ukinfo@ossur.com or phone 03450 065 065 Don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast, if you have 10 seconds why not leave a review!

Nicola Graham and Helen Preston are both Physiotherapy business owners. They each have their own version of this, having made choices about whether or not to still work as a clinician, and how they wish to be perceived, and how they wish to exert their influence in healthcare. In this session we discuss, the acquisition of business skills when you've never been taught them, a shift in personal identity and the way others might see you as you take on business ownership, and we have a more philosophical discussion around leadership and who might emerge as the future symbolic leaders in our profession.
Jazz hands videos and monologues of your wisdom triggering unwanted attention from trolls. If this is your impression of marketing then no wonder you're avoiding it. Invisibility is so much more appealing. Sara Price has another way. There's no sugar coating or kidding that you don't need to be visible to grow a business, but she has some wonderful ideas and suggestions to make it a more comfortable experience for you and infinitely more enjoyable for your audience.

Some people love conflict. Some of them are even clinicians. This epsiode is for the remaining 97% of you who accept it's a necessary evil but would rather eat their own patella hammer.
Celia Champion, director of Painless Practice has a wealth of tips, tricks, books and references to help you get more comfortable with conflict. And she is human enough to admit that even she is only a 3/10 on the concept.

Dave James, ex-nurse, podiatrist, coach and speaker talks to me about the role anger has played in his life. How it showed up at times of deep hurt, but also when he became a parent. How he experimented with complete denial of anger and where he is now, still working on it, always learning about it. We discuss whether anger is ever acceptable as a clinician and the responsibility we might feel, to maintain composure both at work and outside. Facebook

Of course we're perfectionists. We learn what is 'correct' and then we try to function in the world of messy, unpredictable humans who throw curve balls every half hour!
Perfectionism isn't just about having high standards. It's when you pin your self-worth to the attainment of those standards.
When we decide something within us is unnacceptable, it becomes abhorent in others and we exercise judgement.
Until we are prepared to look at the external environment of capitalism, consumerism, social media comparison, perfectionism will continue to thrive within us and between us

Claire Sullivan is here on Chewing It Over with Jack discussing the ongoing Strike action by CSP members over NHS pay.

As part of a doctorate in Physiotherapy at Glasgow Caledonian University, Daniel is conducting a study looking at the incidence of burnout in UK based Physiotherapists.
Jo discuss the shocking fact that Daniel's initial studies show a high rate of burnout in Physiotherapy students, before they have even started the job. They reflect on what is perfectionsim, ask why the profession attracts perfectionists and discuss how we may be unwittingly driving each other to higher levels of perfectionism.
Jo also asks Daniel for his thoughts on the potential future value of this work for physiotherapists and healthcare.

We managed to steal a few minutes of the very busy Benoy Mathew while we had our pop up studio at Therapy Expo. Jack had a great chat with him about the overlooked side-effects of shockwave and his clinically useful book about Hips and Knees
We started a new segment when we visited Therapy Expo called "Change My Mind". In this Jack Chew posed the statement that "We Can't Meaningfully Alter Tissue With Manual Therapy". It is a contentious statement especially at a show with a lot of massage booths, tape and tissue sports guns. A really interesting conversation that will test bias on both sides of the argument.

In session 101 Lorimer Moseley stated "Nociception is neither sufficient nor necessary for pain"
There was a good deal of pushback on social media regarding this and Asaf Weisman has stepped up to discuss why that is. Jack and Asaf discuss nociception from an evolutionary stand point and why this is important, they then go on to discuss the brain centric nature of research.

Finding myself at short notice without a guest for session 20, I enlisted the help of my good friend Martin Christensen to stand in as guest host and interview me, on my own podcast about some things that have been rattling around in my brain.
We talk about resourcefulness as an antidote to perfectionism, accepting the unacceptable parts, my own uncomfortable journey with boundaries and cheerleading for self-indulgence and idleness.
WE ARE BACK, we said we would do some special episodes and we absolutely couldn't turn away the opportunity to interview the one and only Lorimer Moseley who is, of course, an absolute legend.
You won't get an interview with Lorimer like this anywhere else.
- Is nociception necessary for pain?
- Is pain a sensation or a perception?
It is all answered and a whole lot more!

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.

Physio Matters is the leading clinical MSK show in the world with 2.5 million downloads over 7 years of monthly broadcasts. Therapy Business Matters intends to help the oft-exploited current and aspiring business owners in the no-nonsense style the Physio Matters Network is famed for!
Jack discusses what has been by all accounts a mad year with Chair of CSP council Alex Mackenzie.
2020 changed almost everything for almost everyone. The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy has had to face these changes and adapt just like everyone else. They have come in for some criticism over various topics and it felt a good opportunity to air chat through some of the challenges faced.
Jacj and Alex cover the NHS vs Independent Practice, Quality & Regulation, Racism & EDI and more! No stone is left unturned. Unmissable discussion. If you don't like things, speak up and engage.

Emma and Grainne discuss Stephs journey with Diastasis Recti, how she overcame the aesthetic stigma associated with it and became "internet famous" overnight by not covering her postpartum belly up when back running at events. We discuss the lack of awareness of pelvic health issues within her running world and the importance of women supporting women. Steph discusses the retreats she now runs several times a year for women to access an overall experience of wellbeing.

I remember when I was working in the NHS a Physio named Rachel Chester came and presented the findings of her PhD to our department as we had helped with data collection. The findings blew my mind. That was a number of years ago and still that research blows my mind.

The Flippin’ Pain Initiative is a public health campaign run by Connect Health and is a project that aims to bring contemporary pain understanding to the Lincolnshire community. In February, they launched the Flippin’ Pain brand and set out to flip the understanding of a room full of people with persistent pain with the help of pain Professors Lorimer Moseley and Cormac Ryan and set up by Connect's Head of NHS Service Development Richard Pell.
We were lucky enough to be able to send Felicity Thow with a camera and a mic to hold these three legends up for an hour on the day and even luckier that they agreed – we can’t thank Connect, Richard, Lorimer and Cormac enough for their time. Here’s what we ended up with: a podcast about bringing pain education to the masses and our role in public health within our communities.
