Podcasts are significantly impacting the physical therapy profession. The topics range from issues in health care to fellow physical therapists providing helpful clinical tips and information. There is a podcast for everyone. However, there was a time when the number of podcasts tailored for PTs was few. This shortage is no longer the case as several podcasts are available on various topics. Here are four PT podcasts that are worth checking out.
Pain Reframed
Pain Reframed is a podcast about pain management for physical therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapy assistants, and other health care providers. The podcast covers how health care providers can minimize patient suffering. Pain management is a big issue, and the podcast contains insights into managing pain efficiently and effectively.
This podcast airs every Thursday, and the information is highly relevant regardless of whether you are in clinical practice. The hosts are committed to changing language and practice across disciplines and points of care to reduce unnecessary suffering due to misinformation, insufficient understanding of the pain experience, and the overmedicalization of pain.
Level Up
Equipping students and new grads with the mindset and skills necessary to be a part of the solution in healthcare is the goal of Level Up. The podcast brings values such as passion, forward-thinking, service mindset, growth mindset, and humility to life. Guests from physical therapy demonstrate how these values drive greatness and success regardless of profession. Additionally, the podcast offers interviews with patients who provide valuable insight into the pros and cons of their medical experience.
Physio Edge
David Pope’s Physio Edge is an inspiring podcast. The show features interviews with leading physiotherapists, discussing real-life assessment and treatment, clinical issues, and ways to gain an edge in physical therapy clinical practice. Topics range from baffling cases to manual therapy techniques. This podcast benefits PTs specializing in sports medicine because most of the content revolves around treating common and not-so-common sports-related injuries.
