Physio Digest

Physio Digest is a blog by David Fitzgerald, aimed to provide a community for clinicians to discuss clinical issues with other care providers working in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. It will not replace the need for “hands-on” technique based courses but will provide a forum for information exchange and a chance to get input from expert clinicians.

As a Chartered Physiotherapist and practicing clinician for over 20 years Davids initial training was in mechanical engineering. He became fascinated and enthralled by the function of the human body and subsequently dedicated myself to exploring its secrets. This endeavor has provided the opportunity to treat people with a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems and remains Davids passion and privilege to this day. This journey has passed through many varied fields of education from basic science, manipulative therapies, orthopaedics, neurology, physical medicine, anaethesiology , therapeutic exercise, pain management, occupational medicine, sports injuries and clinical psychology – and remains a enduring pursuit to this day.
