Welcome to the naked physio natters podcast!
I intend to bare all……… with other NZ health professionals on the naked physio natters podcast. What better way to get up to date information from the experts in your own back yard.
The aim of these podcasts are to provide a direct message to the public. No big words, no technical jargon. (If you spot any then email me!)
I hope that you can join me over the coming months to have a listen to me having a natter with other health professionals around New Zealand.
Particularly liked Ben’s point about clinical advice appropriate to the short term, e.g. “no heavy lifting” (til your surgery is completely healed) can be heard by the patient as “Lifting is terrible for your back. No lifting, ever again.” We all need to get better at double checking that if our advice comes with a time limit we remember to tell the patient that…
Hi Mel
Thanks for your comment. Absolutely where we think we are being helpful, in the long term it may be a hindrance. The message as we so often see can be taken very literally. I hear patients saying it to me all the time, such as “I was told not to lift or won’t be able to play tennis” I am always curious and ask “did they say how long for?” Usually the answer is “No” So this puts the patient in a state of limbo. Over time this can then make the patient question themselves about doing other activities, resulting in a loss of control.
Thanks again
Hi, I´d like to follow your podcast, could you please provide the soundcloud rss-feed adress, then I could follow it using my normal podcasting app
