Should I See A Chiropractor, Physiotherapist Or An Osteopath? - with Mike James

In this week's show, Dave and Rob welcome physiotherapist, Mike James - AKA The Endurance Physio - to the show to discuss the enduring topic of what the differences are between a chiropractor, a physiotherapist, and an osteopath, and how to decide upon which might be the best for you? KEY TAKEAWAYS All therapists and practitioners in the MSK realm offer something unique in terms of treatment, and so all should be considered for their own contribution. When looking for a therapist, we must search for the traits of a good one. These traits usually come down to how they communicate with you. A good therapist will always try to establish a good relationship with the client. The patient must remain at the core of every treatment. Good therapists will seek to collaborate with the patient in order to facilitate the path to the destination required. Research is everything. Look for good clinics, but also for good therapists within those clinics. Do not be afraid to raise questions. BEST MOMENTS 'Ultimately they all offer something to patients in the MSK realm' 'People have taken many journeys and paths to get to the same place' 'The patient must be at the centre of the process' 'It doesn't matter about the therapist's background - it's the person and the way they work' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mike James Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheendurancePT The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliot Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
