  Build Resilient Teams: The Chiropractic Approach to Care Worker Wellness

  Jul 29, 202636 min

  In this episode, TeeJay speaks with Chris Pitcher, Director at Stoke Chiro Spinal Health Centre and The Spine Space in Congleton, about why chiropractic care is so relevant to the care industry, and how it can transform outcomes for both carers and the people they support. What you'll hear: Chris explains the science behind what chiropractors do, debunking the "just cracking bones" myth. He walks through how chiropractic works via the nervous system model and proprioception - that crucial feedback loop that keeps your body balanced and protected from injury. You'll learn why back and neck pain are so common in care work (spoiler: it's not just about manual handling), and how anxiety can spiral pain into something much bigger. Chris shares his approach to working alongside medication, not against it, and how he helps people rebuild confidence after injury. The conversation shifts to the people care teams look after, particularly elderly residents dealing with falls risk. Chris breaks down how simple, playful activities - whether that's brushing teeth on one leg or friendly challenges with a chair - can build strength and balance without feeling like formal exercise. A key theme throughout: small changes compound. Whether it's five minutes of movement a day, managed stress, or just showing your team you care, the impact ripples outward. Chris also tackles weight loss medications (GLPs like Mounjaro), the importance of getting professional advice, and his "be a stepping stone, not a dead end" philosophy - if chiropractic isn't the right fit, he'll signpost you elsewhere. Practical takeaways for care teams: How to spot when someone's struggling (it's often visible before they tell you) Why workplace wellbeing programs pay for themselves Simple interventions that cost nothing or very little How to build referral relationships with practitioners you trust Get in touch with Chris: Email: chris@stokechiro.co.uk LinkedIn: Chris Pitcher Phone: Contact Stoke Chiro Spinal Health Centre on 01782 660744 and ask for Chris

  Diabetes in Focus: What Every Care Team Needs to Know Right Now TeeJay is joined by clinical trainer Hollie Carlile for a conversation about diabetes that's equal parts practical and exciting, because as they recorded this episode, a landmark piece of news landed from Diabetes UK that changes the picture for type 1 diabetes in the UK.

  BONUS EP: See One, Do One, Teach One - Is That Enough?

  Jun 12, 20269 minS0

  <h1>See One, Do One, Teach One - Is That Enough?</h1><p>There's an assumption that runs quietly through healthcare: if you're brilliant at something, you can teach it. But clinical expertise and teaching ability are two very different skills, and when it comes to complex care like tracheostomy, that difference really matters.</p><p>In this bonus episode, Hollie Carlile explores why informal, on-the-job knowledge transfer isn't enough when the stakes involve patient safety and regulatory scrutiny. She talks through what effective teaching actually involves: breaking down automatic knowledge, identifying gaps in a learner's understanding, and having the...
