Simon Gilchrist - Physiotherapy, Injury, Pain Management & Recovery

In this episode of the Evolution Lab, Matt speaks with Simon Gilchrist, head of physiotherapy at Evolution and founder of Mayfair Health Physiotherapy and Pilates services.

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.

Matt and Simon discuss the rise in spinal and neck issues post-COVID, attributing it to stress and poor posture, and noting the high percentage of low back pain case and the role of health anxiety. 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. Beyond that they also discuss the high cost of back care in the NHS and suggests that more physiotherapists should be involved in primary care to assess and screen musculoskeletal issues as well as using strength training to prevent back issues.

The overall outcome is a fascinating conversation for anyone wishing to better understand their own needs in relation to injury recovery and rehabilitation, how to improve their posture and movement habits and generally how to take greater ownership of their physical and mental wellbeing.
