It’s the first Tuesday of a new month, so we bring you our regular series ‘Ask Tim’, recorded as always LIVE on the Sports Therapy Association Youtube Channel. Tim Allardyce, founder of Rehab My Patient clinical software, Group Clinical Director and NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur, answers YOUR questions on anything to do with the soft tissue therapy industry. If you have questions for future episodes, email me at [email protected], OR come join us LIVE on the first Tuesday of the month and ASK TIM yourself, face to face! What's happening in the rest of March? In Ep140, Ep141 and Ep142, our focus will be on Lower Back Pain, starting MARCH 14th with guest Owen Lewis, part of ‘Born To Move’ education providers (with James Earls, author of Born To Walk). Owen will be taking us through some of the common misconceptions in causes and rehab of lower back pain, as well as highlighting outdated narratives regarding the 'core'. Topics in this episode of 'Ask Tim': 0:00 Intro 6:00 Latest episode of 'Women In Sports Therapy Association Podcast' 9:19 - Ask Tim Q1: As evidence informed practitioners, how do we compete with the “easy fix” claims marketed across social media but still maintain our ethics? 15:25 - Ask Tim Q2: I had a client who wanted me to take pictures before and after to see ‘postural changes’ (rolled/winged shoulder). There was a difference and I could have easily posted this as a win but ethics got the better of me. Should I have taken the photo for them? 21:30 - Ask Tim Q3: Hey Tim, do you have any tips on finding ways to use Sports Therapy abroad? I love experiencing new countries & cultures, but don’t know where or how to start looking. 29:07 - Live Question: You said in a previous episode that for therapists 2023 would be 'a year to survive not thrive'. Is this still your plan? 42:30 - Ask Tim Q4: I have read that shockwave therapy is very effective in treatment of tendinopathies, and that it can also help as treatment for chronic pain. Would you say it is worth the financial investment? 51:28 - Ask Tim Q5: As a Sports Therapist, how important is it to have experience in the sport of the client you are treating? How can you help & give advice if you don’t know the demands of that particular sport? 52:09 - How to follow/contact Tim Allardyce & Dr Fiona Higgs Useful Links: Tim Allardyce on Twitter: @timallardyce Rehab My Patient on Twitter & Instagram: @rehabmypatient Dr Fiona Higgs on Twitter and Instagram: @fiona_higgs1 Women In Sports Therapy Podcast on Twitter & Instagram: @UK_WIST Dr Fiona Higgs email: [email protected] Our sincere thanks to Tim Allardyce, Dr Fiona Higgs and Gary Benson for giving up their time to be guests on the show!
