Why You Should Assess Every Patient's Feet!
from The New Grad Physio Podcast · host Andy Barker
I do one thing with each and every patient I see that most therapists never think to do... I assess their feet! The test I do takes less than 20 seconds to do, and it is the second test I do, after assessing gait. As simple and as quick as this test might be, it can be like gold-dust and give you the information you need to make sense of what is going on with your patient... Identify movement compensations that you will need to fix... So you can find, and fix, both the site and source of your patients symptoms. Learn exactly how to do this simple 'foot scan' test to find the true cause of your patient's problem and stop just treating their symptoms! Enjoy the show! PS. I'd love to hear what you think of the podcast. Please leave a review or even better, share the podcast with any physio you think it could help! PPS. As well as links to all my previous podcasts I have loads more FREE to access learning resources on my website. Head here to access them right now... www.newgradphysio.com
