The Retire Strong Project Podcast - Phil White | Doctor of Physiotherapy

Red flag screening questions In today's episode, I talk about the signs and symptoms that physios will ask to help guide our diagnosis and decide whether you should be seeing a doctor instead/additionally. An affirmative answer to these "red flag" questions does not necessarily mean you have a medical condition but it raises the index of suspicion that the symptoms may not be musculoskeletal in nature. So please, do not panic if one or some of these symptoms apply to you but it may be worth seeing your GP ort to go to the emergency department if the certain symptoms are present.

Physiotherapy isn't a treatment, it's a profession. Each physio, despite having the same qualification, will have different experiences and influences that will guide how a course of treatment will go. We are evidence based practitioners, but, there is so much variability between people and their circumstances that there is rarely, if ever, a perfect study that says exactly what is the best course of action for an individual.  It is something I have found challenging since changing from being a massage therapist, where my treatment choice was clear, to qualifying as a physiotherapist. The north star of my business decisions is about making my sessions as valuable to my patients as possible. Figuring out how to do that has been challenging (and I haven't always got it right) but I am always trying. I would love to hear what you find most valuable when seeing a physio.
