Chiro London Podcast Craig McLean

Summary 
Loved the chat with Jess Hambly, the Aussie chiro who has been in the UK for 6 years but just recently joined the Chiro.London team. She has 16 years experience, is a doula (birth partner) and has a super strong chiropractic philosophy. We signed off the week with a glass of rose and a chat about all things health and chiropractic. 

Summary of what was discussed. 
What is chiropractic , Jess's elevator pitch. Jess Hambly the chiropractor, her story from the beginning to now. Jess the professional associate - her opinion on why life as an associate is better than being a practice owner, given the right environment. Bourbon v Cognac - blind tasting live on the podUnpopular opinions: challenging the germ theory of disease in a post covid world, how exposure does not always equal infection. Definition of health - Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.Jess's past roles as a doula and how its helped her understand and help more pregnant women. Jess and her coaches/mentors - how its helped her navigate 16 years as a chiropractor.

Loved this chat with Nimrod Mueller. This podcast episode essentially is about two things. 1. levelling up your chiro philosophy to a new unknown chiro philosophy 'gaming' level that I didn't know existed. 2. Unpacking the day I spent with Nimrod and some of the UK leaders of chiropractic plotting course for Chiro in the UK and discussing the next event taking place in March 2024. 

If you don't now him, Nimrod is an Aussie chiropractor who graduated from Sydney college, Australia, practiced in the UK, then 10 years back in Sydney and now in Barcelona. If you haven't heard Nimrod speak he's one of the cleanest thinking docs and clearest communicators of chiropractic around. He's been politically active in the Aus and more recently he has teamed up with Mark Postles and become a coach at Quest.

If you are keen to get involved in the next chiro meet up just email Nimrod and the details are....

Loved this chat with Martin Harvey, one for the chiropractors, I (Craig McLean) was in London 2ºC he was in Melbourne 30ºC and we covered in one episode so many ways to engage better with your clients to enable you to provide better service which naturally will encourage people to stay with you longer.

At the beginning, after setting the scene, we tackle the question as to whether it's appropriate to encourage people to be life long chiropractic patients. Some in the profession suggest it's not appropriate and we should be able to teach/train/coach all people out of a problem and dis-engage with them as soon as possible or you are just ripping people off. We came to the conclusion that with todays stressful lifestyles and peoples desire to be as healthy as possible there is a need and desire by many to add chiropractic to their healthy lifestyle choices hence it is appropriate to some people. 

So listen on to find out things to do during your 1st, 2nd or routine visits that can help you engage better with your clients. Martin is an expert at helping us communicate more effectively to help people move from focus on pain to prevention and eventually performance. Spoiler alert - all about building bridges from where the person is at or focused and bridging to the possibilities of a different paradigm.

Thanks Martin here are some links to Martin's work.

Craig McLean, your host, welcomes Adrian Wenban, chiropractor and head of Barcelona College of Chiropractic. Following on from our last episode where a recently graduated student from both RMIT and Barcelona filled us in on the differences between the two programs. 

We ask Adrian about the history of the Barcelona college, when it started, how big it is, how many students per year, but mainly how the ethos of the education is true to the origins of the chiropractic profession, keeping the students focused on the founding principles of the profession. 

He expands on this to explain how three main techniques are taught, the students are hands on from year one and its not discouraged to discuss the term subluxation and DD Palmer. He encourages all of his students to find and develop their own personal philosophy around health, healing and chiropractic. 

We talk about the recent RMIT situation in Melbourne Australia, where without warning or consultation the program was closed down and the profession lost 140 graduates a year. He has an opinion on where that program went wrong. 

Hope you enjoy this episode, Adrian and I have history and he reminded me that he actually worked in Putney Chiropractic back in the 1990's before I took over ownership.

Isaac reached out after finishing chiro college in Barcelona and after finding a little bit about his story I thought it would be a journey others may enjoy. He started chiro school at RMIT Melbourne Australia 6 years ago during the hardest hit covid years eventually finishing  his  studies at Barcelona College of Chiropractic. He's in the UK at the moment awaiting to sit the GCC test of competence and looking to work in the UK.

The news that RMIT is closing its doors to new chiropractor students in 2024 made me want to find out what is happening downunder, at the place I trained. Isaac shares some insight into life at RMIT and how it compares to the Barcelona college experience.

Here's the link to the Martin Harvey Pod with Phil Embrall about the RMIT situation.

Isaac is a 3rd generation chiropractor, son of Wayne Whittingham and Melissa Sandford (UCA fame).
