Making the most of Prac

Our Prac Coordinator, Holly, is joined by one of our students to chat about what to expect on prac and how to make the most of your clinical placements before graduating. 

Chronic Pain | Communicating Pain

Dan takes us through 5 communication principles that can help when treating clients with chronic pain. These principles can easily be applied in your clinical practice and ensure a holistic approach to the biopsychosocial model of care. Shout out to Jeffrey Rufila - The Running EP for sharing this wisdom!  

Working on Weaknesses

Focusing your energy on getting better at the things you struggle with seems like a common-sense approach. It seems logical that improving your problem areas will result in success and performance excellence. But that's not the case.

Neuro Exercise Physiology | Intro

Holly joins us to chat about her interest in Exercise Physiology for Neurological conditions.

Chronic Pain | The Cup Analogy

Gage jumps in to offer us a great concept he uses to help clients understand the multiple factors that effect Chronic Pain. 

Helping clients manage Chronic Pain requires adaptability; having multiple tools in your EP toolkit and knowing which one to select for the person, situation or phase of treatment. This explanation still draws on the theoretical background of the bio-psycho-social factors that can cause and exacerbate Chronic Pain, but offers an alternative for clients to conceptualise it. 

Strength & Conditioning | Youth Development

Cam chats to us about Youth Athlete Development, sharing his perspective as an Exercise Physiologist and Strength & Conditioning Coach. We discuss the recommendations, the myths, the barriers and how Australia stacks up.

From reassuring parents that he won't stunt their child's growth, to being a central manager for athletes with multiple coaches, Cam paints a picture of the future he'd love to see and how EP's and SnC coaches can best serve youth athletes for longevity and high performance.
