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... Valdhealth.com Rehabmypatient.com/Physiomatters

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.

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!

This episode is about the struggles as she puts it, but even here, there are hints at the evolution to come. ⁠JOIN MEHUB⁠

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!
