'Reimagining Physiotherapy' - a talk from the Digital Leaders Conference 2022. Enjoy!

• ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ᴠɪᴇᴡ ᴏꜰ ᴘʜʏꜱɪᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴀᴘʏ = "manual therapy is king. That I need hand-on therapy to get better. That my Physio will make me better with their manipulation, touching, massage, mobilisation, acupuncture, ultrasound and other electrotherapy devices, taping, and other passive movements. That Online Physiotherapy is ridiculous, and if anything a poorer version of Physiotherapy."
• ᴘʀᴇꜱᴇɴᴛ ᴅᴀʏ ᴇᴠɪᴅᴇɴᴄᴇ-ʙᴀꜱᴇ ᴠɪᴇᴡ = Active-based rehab + education + advice is the most effective form of Physiotherapy in almost every situation. The evidence is poor and verging on ‘sham’ (a word used in the studies) for massage, ultrasound, acupuncture, taping, manipulation, and other passive movements.

2. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚/𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙋𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙮 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚, 𝙫𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮'𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙋𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙮 𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙𝙨.

As there is so much to say, and I know a lot of what is spoken of is new and potentially controversial, I would like to take the time too give the reasoning for this and to back it up in evidence which I have written very short blog articles on (these blogs will grow as we add to this growing body of evidence). See links to blogs below:

𝟑. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲.

𝟒. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲.
➡️ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The public belief of what Physiotherapy should be, which is stunting both Online Physio, and the public themselves, who are able to benefit from very effective, convenient and cost-effective rehab.
➡️ 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: Many do not realise that Online Physiotherapy is ‘a thing’, and due to the first point, many are dismissive about it, without pausing to listen or think about how it works.
➡️ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡: It goes without saying that personal touch does not occur with Online Physiotherapy - and for some this is a benefit - but for others, there is a need for this in order to trust, feel safe and feel confident. This for that group of people will never be trumped.
➡️ BӨПЦƧ: Technology now an advantage! The ability to meet wherever, slow movements down ‘live’ and track more data points regarding your recovery.

𝟓. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲.
➡️ 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛
➡️ 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬.
➡️ 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲, 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐟𝐮𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛.
➡️ 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦.
➡️ 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨-𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 + 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐈.

👌 It is acknowledged that for some people, they want to keep their Physio in-person and to them we say ‘Go for it!’ - but would urge you to look at the evidence around this.
🔥 However, for others who simply want a fast diagnosis, and recovery, the vast majority of MSK injuries, disorders, diseases and rehab after operations, can be completed just as effectively if not faster with Online Physiotherapy, as well as being cheaper overall.
