On this episode I speak to Dr Sarah Haag about pelvic floor physiotherapy - from what we need to listen to when talking to our patients to when we should refer on for a specialist and beyond! Tune in to this episode as we explore an area of the body that has, for me, for all intents and purposes, been a bit of a black hole that, I admittedly say on the podcast - I'm glad I've worked previously with pelvic floor specialists in the same clinic as I would never have even recognised to refer on in the past! An area under-explored by our education (there's a lot to cover during the education - not hating) I hope this episode can, for you, help shine a light on the area where the sun don't shine!

This time we're joined in studio with none other than returning guest, Claire Robertson! Claire is back to talk to us about patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). From defining what it actually is as an all encompassing term, to rehab strategies and potentially what adjuncts may be useful. Don't forget to head over to www.physiotutors.com/courses to check out our latest course with Claire Robertson on everything you need to know about PFPS including real life case studies and example rehab exercises to complement your programming, everything you need to go back into clinic on Monday feeling more competent and confident!

In this edition of the Physiotutors podcast we talk with Kjartan Fersum about cognitive functional therapy (CFT) and how he integrates that into his daily practise, utilising it with chronic and acute pain patients to help them navigate their problems and it's role within physiotherapy. Kjartan provides us with methods you can easily take into your daily practise to improve your communication with your patient as well as help the progress on their journey of rehabilitation, stepping out of the "I will fix you" mentality and more into a therapeutic alliance *with* the patient.
