17 Jul episode 39- Keep on moving with Jonathan Bell from Narre Warren Physiotherapy
Jonathan Bell is a musculoskeletal physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience. He is a partner at Narre Warren Physiotherapy Sports and Injury Group, a physiotherapy clinic focused on providing evidence-based rehabilitation and treatment programs for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions such as migraines, arthritis, chronic pain, and sport-related injuries. Since 2006, he has received several awards including the prestigious Work safe Health Practitioner of The Year award and has become highly regarded in the management of Workcover and TAC patients.
Jonathan joins me today to discuss how to keep moving and stay active in a sedentary workplace. He explains the relationship between sitting too long and early mortality, the importance of taking frequent breaks throughout your work day, and how technology has impacted the increase in work-related musculoskeletal injuries. He also shares what it’s like to run a physiotherapy clinic, how mentoring and training new practitioners has evolved over the years, and the biggest challenges many physiotherapy practices face regarding hiring and maintaining new practitioners.
Don’t miss this week’s segment of Reuben’s Rants where I share my thoughts on the Australian Optus’ issues with streaming the World Cup and why I believe the Optus needs to get their act together.
And stay tuned to the end of the episode for my Propellerhead of the Week segment to learn more about my favorite transcription and dictation service, Rev.com, and how I use it in my business to transcribe my recorded client meetings.
