A physiotherapist's role in managing osteoarthritis with Jack Chew

Physiotherapists play an important role in osteoarthritis management. A good physiotherapist can aid in the reduction of OA symptoms, however, one major ongoing issue is the problem of low-value healthcare. Low value healthcare are treatments which broadly encompasses passive modalities such as interferential current, ultrasound, unnecessary imaging in favour of high value treatments such as exercise. Low value care can lead to treatments that provide little to no benefit or even harm to patients.

On today’s episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Jack Chew to discuss high value and low value care in field of physiotherapy, specifically, what a good physiotherapist looks like and what can be done to move the health system in the direction of better quality.

Jack Chew is founder of Chews Health in 2013 as a company for his clinical consultancy, offering second opinions to local sports clubs and teams whose therapists and coaches were struggling to mastermind the recovery of some of their key athletes. As his philosophy and methods spread across the Physio profession and MSK industry a consultancy network emerged and eventually Chews Health services were sought after enough to need a bespoke facility.

Alongside his role as managing director of Chews Health, Jack hosts The Physio Matters Podcast – a monthly show which goes out to over 20,000 therapists and is the director of MSKReform – a non-profit think-tank which is tasked with improving the industry to reduce the unjust variations in care standards.
