Welcome! Thanks for joining the 6th episode of The Physical Being. I apologise for taking such an extended break between episodes, but we are back now.
Today we have Chris Bacchus a Physiotherapist of 25 years. I asked Chris to join me on the podcast because he was my teacher last year for Advanced Functional Anatomy, and I worked as a receptionist in the clinic he works at. I then started seeing him as my physiotherapist and consequently have referred many people to him.
This conversation was about 2 months in the making and I knew I wanted to speak to Chris about all things physiotherapy and I have many technical questions about conditions about injuries and treatments, but I thought that to start with I would actually love to talk to him about movement and how he perceives it after being involved in restoring it for so long.
One of the most profound things that I took away from our conversation was that becoming a better practitioner, isn’t just about learning new things and trying to keep up to date with all of the new techniques and evidence, which is very important, but more importantly reflecting on what you have done and what you need to know in order to be or do better next time. Reflecting on the practice is just as important as the practice itself.
I learnt an amazing amount from this interview and I hope that you do too, and I would love to get Chris back on at some time to expand on the topics that we covered and the ones that we could have explored.
Please enjoy.
