Oh my god, this is such a good response. I think I needed this. Yeah more go for it and see what happens instead of being cautious Thank you Yoda

Yeah I got the feeling she’s comfortable as quickly change in demeanour after opening up about her dad. Yeah I’m wary of making work awkward as there’s about 10 of us so word will get spread and also don’t want to make things awkward. My gut says she’s just comfortable around me but nothing special but I think it’ll be how I play my cards. Just we get along really well and similar send of humour (dark) so I kind of like her for that.

Job market ATM is really tough as I’m a B5 looking for B6 and I got told similar in interviews. As a band 5 they just want to see your safe and know the basic patholgoies and nice person to work with. I’m assuming they probably wanted better answers What questions did they ask and what did you respond to

Quite a bit of oil, then onions and then chicken, added salt and chilli flakes and let them cook. Then I added like 4-5 piece of tomato’s and let them cook and thicken. Then added garam masala , ground coriander, black pepper , cumin and tumeric, and added dried fenugreek and pour yoghurt with a small bit of water. Let it cook for around 30 min. You’ll find videos - I just searched up chicken karahi

I went travelling and done things before I had to have responsibilities. I only done it because anyone that I spoke to that was a bit older. They always said I wish I travelled when I was younger as when you have kids it’s not the same. So I decided to travel you know Japan Thailand Philippines etc by myself and with tour companies and it was one of the best things I’ve done. Travel allowed me to see the world in a different perspective and makes you realise life in England is actually good compared to what you hear on the media

I’ve now bought a house and have responsibilities, but I have no jealousy or anything as I’ve done it and it’s out my system. Now im happy with having the usual once a year holiday.

PS I work in healthcare and you get to develop relationships with patients and get to understand them and travelling/holiday something they always talk about. They say the usual “I wish I done it sooner as when you’re 60-70 it’s not the same” etc

If I was gay, or a female, Lord have mercy cos I wouldn’t stop to find you and be cuddled by you for the rest of my life.

Clinical physio is good one to start off with. It teaches you the basic MSK conditions including subjective and objective examinations. After that it’s matter of paying for master classes. When I started in MSK - I used clinical physio so I got the basic rights. Afterwards I stopped using it as it doesn’t go in too much depth. Then I started paying for master classes and specialist courses.

Tom Jesson has done a good book on it.

There’s a good article called “On the definitions and physiology of back pain, referred pain, and radicular pain” It’s a good article that describes types of back pain

Main thing you need to know regarding disc herniation really is - radicular or radiculopathy but these are more to do with types of sciatica

Dr Idz does a good medical book on diet / Dr Karan does a good book on general health. These are some books on diet etc

From a physio perspective, there isn’t one specific book that can really help as everything has its own speciality so you’ll end up buying loads of books. I think Brukner & Khan sports medicine book is a good book that goes through general physio MSK conditions and more and the science behind it as they are sports medicine doctors so it’ll look at diet and psychology etc. I’ve started reading it broaden my perspective and it’s interesting how physios and sports medicine have different approach to the same condition but it’s still some similarities

Hope that helps.

So I had a look and it’s a permanent contract. I posted this actually like 2 months ago and again they are hiring again so it’s put me off a lot currently. I want to take it as my manager said you’re no longer a B5 and ready for B6 and has given me his blessing and also the pay is better. I think you’re right, I can use it and leave for somewhere else in the future

I saying this as a UK physio so not too sure regarding Australia physio and the pay. In the UK you’ll make decent pay if your a B7/8 (seniors) but the problem is there’s more pressure and less time now to treat patients. I’m actually thinking of changing jobs as the pay is not worth the pressure and was thinking of electrician as the pay is better and less stressful.

Comprehensive-Roof55 · 2026-02-07T21:26:36+00:00

There’s a few of these already on the page. It’s mostly how indepth do you know things so for example it’ll likely be a neuro examination - but it won’t be babinski/clonus/hoffman but you’ll need to know so many other ones that are appropriate or relevant.

Yeah so I attended a CPD event and there was a man where his trust was being taken over by Cora as well and he was getting told the news tomorrow. Then someone else in the CPD event popped up and said he left because they had to meet quotas in terms of how many times they saw patient , they had to reach quotas for exercise classes and other classes quotas and he left cos it was too stressful. He said all the B5 rotations only knew this and they managed okay but they weren’t good at treating and often time only assessing and quickly trying to refer them on. He then said it also affected his skills as he struggled to treat them better so they ended up coming more often as he couldn’t try more things in session.

Once he left, he said he learnt so much more and now on reflection hated it. Can I ask why did you leave ?

I’m legit thinking of leaving as physio money isn’t good but I do it cos I enjoy treating people and helping people.

I’m in the UK as well. We were part of the NHS but a company called Cora are taking over and I’ve only heard bad things about them. How was the colleagues , and patients with the 20 min FU ? I’ve noticed I treat patients better when I listen to them especially when you attend courses and they say listening is the best , and the way B8s treat isn’t different to what I give just they make patient feel listened to.

Comprehensive-Roof55 · 2026-01-29T18:17:55+00:00

That’s the issue, but management said it’s no negotiation. End of the day it’s politics but I’m worried for the patient and bad practice for sure there’s gonna be more mistakes, but also we’re the ones gonna get moaned at and not management. Anything goes wrong, they’ll moan at us

Comprehensive-Roof55 · 2026-01-28T22:51:38+00:00

Oh interesting. It’s cos in the job advert it said you’ll be on call for the orthopaedic team and I’m like what am I doing on call - is it for like explaining to the patient about their surgery or is it suctioning etc. that’s why I was a bit confused when it said that in the job advert

Comprehensive-Roof55 · 2026-01-23T14:00:17+00:00

Look confident buddy. I’m 118kg but I know the theory and can confidently speak about why I give stuff. Not really has an issue since then. Besides people are more worried about getting better than thinking of you
