Episode 148 - Controversial or Just Honest? Adam Meakins, The Sports Physio unfiltered on What Really Works

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of the Joint Dynamics Podcast,  Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics sits down with Adam Meakins – “The Sports Physio” – a clinician and educator known for his sharp tongue, sharp mind, and refusal to sugar-coat the truth. Adam has built a global following by calling out gimmicks, questioning overcomplicated rehab systems, and standing up for simple, honest, evidence-based care.Adam and Andrew dive into the realities of modern healthcare: burnout, tick-box diagnoses, and 10‑minute appointments that barely scratch the surface. Adam explains why reassurance, clear communication, and simple, doable exercise plans often beat fancy tools and magic bullets, and how social factors, beliefs, and loneliness can drive pain as much as tissue damage. He talks through how he builds rehab around load and movement (not miracle fixes), why he keeps most home programs to just a couple of key exercises, and how he navigates social media wars, misinformation, and controversy without selling out his integrity. If you’re tired of physio fluff and want practical, no‑nonsense strategies for pain, performance, and better thinking in healthcare, this conversation is for you, it is at times thought-provoking and inspiring as Adam  champions the essence of compassionate care, authenticity, and ongoing education in the field of physiotherapy.Show sponsor is Muvitality Medicinal Mushrooms for modern day health and wellness | Mu …Go to muvitality.com and use the code JD10 to receive a 10% discount on your purchase of Mu Functional mushrooms such as Lions Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Reishi, and Turkey tail functional mushroomsEnjoyHere are some useful links for this podcastWebsite - https://www.adammeakins.com/IG -  https://www.instagram.com/adammeakins/?hl=enRelevant episodesEpisode 125 - Combined Movement theory with Dr Chris McCarthy - https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-125-combined-movement-theory-with-dr-chris/id1527374894?i=1000705241684JOINT DYNAMICS links:Joint Dynamics Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JointDynamicsHongKong/Joint Dynamics Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/jointdynamics/Joint Dynamics Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQZplKxZMSvtc6LxM5WckwJoint Dynamics Website - www.jointdynamics.com.hk Host - Andrew Cox - https://www.jointdynamics.com.hk/the-team/trainers/andrew-cox
