Episode 034: Orthopaedic surgery 101

In this episode we talk about what it is your orthopaedic surgeon would consider (and what Dr. Jorge Chahla *heavily* emphasised - in consultation with the patient) in the decision making process as to whether or not surgery was a suitable option, or if something such as biologics would be a better option. We touch on the decision making process in elite sports where Dr Chahla works with the Chicago Bulls, White Sox & Fire FC where time constraints may cause one to choose a different decision making process. On top of that we talk about what orthopaedic surgeons look for in the physiotherapists they work with and what factors go into a successful rehabilitation!

Episode 029 Respiratory Physiotherapy & Covid-19 with Pat Camp

In this episode of the podcast I get to speak with Pat Camp - a respiratory rehabilitation specialist and researcher with around 3 decades experience as a physiotherapist & over a decades experience in research for respiratory physiotherapy. Pat is also the host of the LungFit podcast where she discusses the latest in pulmonary rehabilitation. We speak about respiratory rehabilitation in chronic patients as well as addressing the elephant in the room that is Covid 19. We talk about structuring your rehab plan with chronic patients, how you can build with those patients and talk about what aspects from other lung diseases we may be able to carry over into Covid-19 rehab keeping in mind just how little is still known with regards to long term issues. Whilst we do discuss Covid 19 patients and I myself have seen a few covid recovered patients - both myself and Pat want to make note that this was recorded early in 2021 whilst not a lot of information was available for post-covid rehabilitation however we hope that you still have some take away moments from that aspect of the podcast!
