Why your physiotherapist shouldn't just slap machines on you and walk away
Manage episode 504706324 series 3551186
Jethro Constant shares his journey as the owner of Constance Care Physiotherapy and explains why mobile physiotherapy services are revolutionizing patient care by meeting people where they are.
• Movement is medicine – physiotherapy should focus on getting people moving, not just applying machines and passive treatments
• The profession originated during World Wars to help injured soldiers regain mobility without fancy equipment
• Mobile physiotherapy offers flexibility for busy professionals and those unable to travel to clinics
• Communication between patient and physiotherapist is crucial for successful treatment outcomes
• "Play chess, not checkers" with your health by thinking long-term about mobility and movement
• Adaptive bodywork techniques can provide faster results than conventional approaches
• Deep squatting is one of the most beneficial movements for maintaining joint health
• Avoid overprescribing exercises – focus on a few effective movements rather than overwhelming patients
• Western societies often undervalue mobility compared to other cultures around the world
• Business ownership teaches valuable lessons about time management and unexpected expenses
