Ep. 55 - Jack Chew: Reforming MSK Physio, and Rethinking the Profession

In this episode, we speak with Jack Chew. A huge figure in the world of Physiotherapy

Jack reflects on his rapid early career, including becoming the youngest Band 8a Physiotherapist.

We then explore the origins of the MSK Reform Movement. Why it emerged, what it set out to challenge, and the resistance it encountered, before discussing Jack’s subsequent move into the CSP, and what he learned trying to enact change from within the system.

The conversation finishes by looking forward: what physiotherapy needs to confront, what must change, and how the profession can remain relevant, credible, and fit for the future.

This is an honest discussion about professional power, evidence, scope of practice, and leadership, and it’s essential listening for MSK physios, educators, managers, and anyone invested in the future of physiotherapy.

We hope you enjoy!
