Ep08: Interviewing Physiotherapists about Pain at the CPA Congress

I had the pleasure and privilege of attending the annual Canadian Physiotherapy Association Congress in Quebec City last month. This episode compiles 10 interviews I had during the congress, featuring physiotherapy students, researchers, new grads, and experienced physiotherapists, from all over Canada and abroad. These 10 interviews cover acute care, rehab, private practice, in musculoskeletal, neuro, sports, and cardioresp, across pediatric, general population, and older adults care. I asked about their views on pain, how they manage and support patients in pain, and the value of physiotherapy in their contexts. I have added timestamps of each interview in the episode description if you'd like to jump around interviews.
