Customer Reviews
time well spent
I loved the look a dynamic taping. Very informative and inspiring. I graduated about 2 years ago and am enjoying enriching my knowlege with the podcast and the literature review on your website. Keep up the good work. Its much appreciated and its good to feel connected with other professionals that take their work seriously
Useful listening
I spend a lot of time on the road working in a rural setting. The Sports Physio Podcast gives me productive time even when not 'on the job'. Is a great refresher, and motivator to stay abreast with the most current literature- keeping me at the top of my 'game'. Wish the casts were more frequent.
Keep up the good work!
I just wanted to say I really enjoy listening to your podcast on the way to and from work! I recently started a new job as a PT manager of an orthopedic clinic and your podcast has helped me freshen up my skills. Keep up the good work!
