Jeff has been waiting a while to discuss this paper that has been widely shared by a high impact journal (BJSM) and appears to have gained a lot of attention since its publication.

Are we justified in heavily critiquing this paper? Are we taking crazy pills?! Is the spin in the abstract a cause for concern and something we should rightly be angry about?

In this episode, we speak with Jack Chew. A huge figure in the world of Physiotherapy

Jack reflects on his rapid early career, including becoming the youngest Band 8a Physiotherapist.

We then explore the origins of the MSK Reform Movement. Why it emerged, what it set out to challenge, and the resistance it encountered, before discussing Jack’s subsequent move into the CSP, and what he learned trying to enact change from within the system.

The conversation finishes by looking forward: what physiotherapy needs to confront, what must change, and how the profession can remain relevant, credible, and fit for the future.

This is an honest discussion about professional power, evidence, scope of practice, and leadership, and it’s essential listening for MSK physios, educators, managers, and anyone invested in the future of physiotherapy.

We hope you enjoy!

Jacks Own Words From Inside the CSP

This week we host the amazing S+C professor, author and coach Dan Cleather to discuss concepts from his lesser talked about books 'The Little Black Book of Training Wisdom' and 'Subvert' (Jeff and James' favourite).

Topics include philosophy of science through an anarchist lens, fundamental concepts in coaching people and why Dan is cautious when it comes to adopting language associated with Dynamic Systems Theory.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

You can find Dan at @dancleather on IG and most definitely search for his books on Amazon!
