Walking, Movement and Health Children Barefoot Podcast naBOSo

What is physiotherapy and why is it important as prevention too? When can a physiotherapist help you, and with what? You’ll find out in an interview with the girls from FyzioKoktejl.

For the next episode of naBOSo mluVÍ, we invited physiotherapists, former classmates, colleagues from the rehabilitation department and, last but not least, barefoot footwear lovers Mgr. Kristýna Šonská and Mgr. Olga Sidorenková.

This podcast is the first in a series we’re preparing. We’ll break down what physiotherapy actually is, what types there are, and what studying it looks like. And we’ll bust the myth that physiotherapist = masseur.

The key idea is to include regular visits to a physiotherapist as a form of prevention against a wide range of health issues linked to today’s lifestyle. Whether it’s supporting children’s development, or for adults, for example preventing the effects of a sedentary job.

  • What physiotherapy is (1:33)
  • Physiotherapists aren’t masseurs (2:48)
  • Physiotherapists’ education: then and now (3:21)

  • Is physiotherapy a demanding job? (11:09)
  • Physiotherapy covered by insurance vs. paid by the patient (12:22)
