  • S1 E3: Physio vs EP - Same Team, Different Jerseys
    Aug 3 2025

    🥊 Welcome to the ring!

    In this episode of the BioJam Podcast, Jess (physiotherapist) and Sam (exercise physiologist) step into the metaphorical boxing ring to break down the key differences — and surprising similarities — between physiotherapy and exercise physiology.

    👊 Who prescribes what?🤕 Can both manage injuries and chronic conditions?📚 What do the guidelines say, and how do they help us work better together?

    Expect some friendly jabs, evidence-backed takes, and plenty of laughs as we tackle the myths and mashups of these two allied health professions. Whether you're a fellow clinician or someone just trying to work out who you should book in with — this one's for you.

    🧠 Spoiler alert: It’s less about turf wars and more about teamwork.

  • S1 E1: Movement Jail & Bioplasticity
    Jul 6 2025

    🎙️ BioJam Podcast - Season 1, Episode 1: Movement Jail & Bioplasticity

    Have you ever been told you have a “bad back”, “worn-out knees,” or that you should “stop running before you ruin yourself”?

    Too many people feel trapped by fear and misinformation about their bodies, stuck in what we call movement jail - afraid to move, exercise, or live fully because they believe their body is fragile.

    In the very first episode of the BioJam Podcast, hosts Jess & Sam break down what movement jail really is, where it comes from, and… most importantly… how you can break free.

    Whether you’re a clinician, athlete, weekend warrior, or just someone trying to stay active, this episode will empower you with the evidence, language, and mindset you need to rebuild confidence in your body.

    Jess & Sam bring their signature mix of pain science, rehabilitation research, and real-world experience to unpack the concept of bioplasticity - the idea that your body and brain are constantly adapting and are far more resilient than you’ve been led to believe. Jess & Sam first came across this exciting term at EP3 2025 (3-day pain science conference) hosted by Noigroup.

    This episode is packed with practical advice for building confidence in your movement, understanding your pain, and starting your journey out of movement jail - one step at a time.

    🔍 Key topics covered in this episode:

    • What is movement jail?

    • Injury myths and facts

    • The difference between placebo and nocebo

    • Resiliency of the human body

    • Bioplasticity explained

    • Criteria for physiological adaptation

    • Overcoming fear of movement

    • Why movement is safe

    • Confidence in rehabilitation

    • And why Sam thinks jail-time could provide opportunity to meet the physical activity guidelines… hmmmmmm

    Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or helping others on their journey to better movement, this episode of the BioJam Podcast will change the way you see your body.
