Ladeeeez and gentlenuts... in todays episode, we get to meet an absolute gentleman... Ash Bowden. He works both as a GP and Emergency Dr (pulled a cockroach out os someone's ear recently...)

Yooo laddeeeez and gentlenuts, welcome to my 100th episode of the flexing physio podcast :') It has been such a fun journey starting from a clinic in Tamworth with my colleagues (Bri Short and Wazza Ansell). Over the years, I have had the opportunity to sit down and speak with some awesome/amazing guests chatting all things physio, mental health, life, fitness and much more!
In today's episode, I invite a very special woman onto the show, she is someone who makes my life a million times easier and also who I do everything for, and that person... is my lovely wife, Korene <3
Today we sat down and answered all yours questions and gave an update on how the clinic was going and we tried to share as much tips and advise as we could for if you are also wanting to start your own clinic one day.
Lastly, I want to say thank you.... to YOU. My listener. Thank you for taking the time of your week to listen to my podcast episodes. Really, without you, I wouldn't have the motivation to do what I do, both on here and on my social media. I really want to say a very heart felt thank you to you.
That's it from uncle dan, and please enjoy this episode xx

woweeee laddeeez and gentlenuts, in today's ep, I have the pleasure of sitting down and spinning a fat yarn with uncle Beau (aka stressfracturephysio) on all things stress fractures and how we as health professionals can be better at identifying and managing them. Beau is someone in the physio world whom I really respect and admire, his whimsical curious nature has certainly stirred people up at times, but I think he is doing a whole world of good for our profession. I hope you enjoy this episode.
Love from, Uncle Dan xx
