The Flippin’ Pain Initiative is a public health campaign run by Connect Health and is a project that aims to bring contemporary pain understanding to the Lincolnshire community.  In February, they launched the Flippin’ Pain brand and set out to flip the understanding of a room full of people with persistent pain with the help of pain Professors Lorimer Moseley and Cormac Ryan and set up by Connect's Head of NHS Service Development Richard Pell.   We were lucky enough to be able to send Felicity Thow with a camera and a mic to hold these three legends up for an hour on the day and even luckier that they agreed – we can’t thank Connect, Richard, Lorimer and Cormac enough for their time.  Here’s what we ended up with: a podcast about bringing pain education to the masses and our role in public health within our communities.

With one week before #TheBigRs 2019 we wanted to bring to you a special treat. The audio from Martin Ong'wen's amazing keynote speech. It was absolutely mindblowing which you will gather from the amount of applause Martin receives. As this was recorded live the mics topped out on occasion so forgive us for that. Check out this years conference on the hashtag #TheBigRs, go an immediately follow Martin on twitter @ongwenmartin we are imminently launching Physio Matters Africa, a podcast with Martin aimed at improving Physiotherapy standards across Africa, support Martin in this endeavour with shares, likes and retweets!!

This month we take advantage of Tom Jesson before he abandons us to move across the Atlantic, he interviews Diarmaid Denneny the Chair of the Physiotherapy Pain Association and pain management physio! A perfect choice for us to let Tom loose on to ask all the questions he could think of to make us all better physios at managing pain! It really is irrelevant the setting that you work in, there is something in this podcast for everyone. From mindfulness to pacing via the opioid epidemic... Follow Diarmaid at @diarmuiddenneny Tom @thomas_jesson and the team @TPMPodcast #TheBigRs conference is 2 weeks away, there are still some tickets remaining but if you can't make it follow along on social media and look out for the details on how to download the Manifesto for Reform!!

We power on with our Health Matters podcast episodes kindly funded by those Kickstarted legends earlier in 2019! This month we talk a tricky subject with Alistair Beverley - Physiotherapy and Learning Difficulties. We all know rapport is vital and this group of patients can be difficult for us to interact with! If you think you won't learn a ton from this YOU ARE SO WRONG. As usual get back to us with any feedback, questions and ideas on social media or email us at Physiomatters@chewshealth.co.uk follow Jack @Jackachew Alistair @theLDphysio and of course the team @TPMPodcast last chance saloon to sign up for the 2019 #TheBigRs conference tickets are HERE

Wee, poop, a little bit on sex and a whole host of amazing clinical information this month with Elaine Miller, probably better known as Gussie Grips. Elaine's take on getting education to the masses is certainly unique but should it be?  Continence and the urinary system are underrepresented in undergrad degrees and physios lack confidence in this incredibly important area which causes distress and embarrassment to many of the population. Strap-in this podcast will be a serious learning curve.  Follow Elaine immediately on social media @gussiegrips, Jack @Jackachew and the podcast team @TPMPodcast Make sure you have a ticket to #TheBigRs 2019 at reform.physio/conference. Time is running short!

Jack Chew jumps on Jack March's Physio Natters stream for a pair of interviews about the WCPT's decision to host their 2021 conference in Dubai, UAE.  We went live with James McAulay (against the decision) and Othman Kassabi (in favour of the decision) to discuss the issues in detail. As ever, let's keep nattering! Share your thoughts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @TPMPodcast

Luckily he is one of the members of The Physio Matters Podcast Team and we were able to convince him to share his knowledge with us and you on this podcast!
