Physios on the Mic

Physios on the Mic speaks directly to members of the public, discussing health issues and how physiotherapy can make a difference. In these candid and revealing interviews, our hosts speak with physios in the know about changing the face of Australian healthcare, and busting myths about issues within the health system.

Season 2, Pain in Practice (2025)

Pain is present in every corner of physiotherapy—but how it’s understood, experienced and managed can look vastly different depending on the clinical setting.

In Pain In Practice, hosts Matthew Fa APAM and Sophie Shephard MACP speak with pain-informed physiotherapists from a range of practice areas—paediatrics, women’s health, neurology, and more—about how pain shows up in their work and how they adapt evidence-based principles of pain management to suit the people they care for.

This new series is part of the Physios on the Mic podcast, produced by the Australian Physiotherapy Association. Join us for candid conversations exploring the diversity of pain physiotherapy, the personal journeys that led our guests into this field, and the transformative impact of person-centred, compassionate care.
