Simon shares insights from his extensive experience in sports injuries and the evolution of his practice. He explains the distinctions between physiotherapists, osteopaths, and chiropractors, emphasising the holistic approach of physiotherapists and the skeletal focus of chiropractors.

They also cover the need for early intervention and movement literacy in schools to prevent future issues and discusses the impact of sarcopenia and the use of semaglutide medications on muscle mass and bone density.

They delve into the importance of addressing mental health in physical therapy, noting that the best coaches and clinicians are also good psychologists.
