In this episode with Daniel Chang we discuss the myriad of challenges that can occur with starting your own Physiotherapy clinic. We explore:

• Components of rapport building
• Patient first impressions
• The role of rejection in character building
• When to delegate tasks to other staff

Dan graduated from the University of Newcastle in 2019 and has been making waves in the world of physiotherapy ever since. With experience in both private practice and aged care, he’s developed a deep passion for three things: perfecting the art of dumpling appreciation, building strong and meaningful connections with his patients, and helping students navigate the ins and outs of private practice. Two years ago, he took the leap and opened his own physiotherapy clinic in Melbourne, where he’s now focused on expanding his business and making a lasting impact in the field.

In this episode with Chris Juneau, we explore an interesting case study on a real patient of his - a circus performer with a subscapularis/latissimus dorsi injury. We cover:

• Surgery vs conservative management
• Objective assessment of this patient
• Use of phone apps for measurement of force production
• Return to “play” through graded exposure
• Gamification of treatment (use of a Tindeq in treatment)

This episode is closely tied to Chris’s case study he did with us. With case studies, you can see how top clinicians manage real-world cases and apply their strategies to get better results with your patients.
