The Cricket Physio Thihan Chandramohan joined me on the latest episode of the Physio Foundations Podcast.

Thihan is a highly experienced Sports Physiotherapist who has held roles with the Melbourne Renegades, Bangladesh Cricket, Hampshire Cricket, and most recently as the Rehabilitation Manager for the Sri Lankan Cricket Team. Thihan is also one of the hosts of the Physio Social Club Podcast.

In this episode, we took a tangent from cricket and discussed Thihan’s recent leg injury and his experiences with injury, surgery and rehabilitation.

Thihan offered very interesting insights into the experience of having a serious injury and surgery in a developing country, reflections on the real experience of lengthy rehabilitation, and advise for students and new graduate physios for prioritising their assessment and management.

Thanks Thihan for a great conversation.

In this episode:

3:05 Thihan’s injury – fractured tibia and fibula. There was no pain until after the surgery – reflecting on when pain is not associated with pathology
5:30 The experience of having surgery in a developing country
12:23 ‘Letting go’, controlling what you can control and allowing people to do their job
14:40 Fracture healing, pain management, IV paracetamol, risks of compartment syndrome, experience of having an epidural
25:45 Being present and taking things one step at a time. It’s hard to think about the bigger picture as a patient. Meet the person where they are
31:40 Being proactive in your own rehabilitation. Lessons for practitioners
36:35 How can students keep things simple and be effective? Have a system and a structure to your assessment that you can repeat until you learn the patterns. Know why you are asking questions.
47:30 How do you stay motivated during long-term rehab?
53:40 Maintaining a positive mindset during the rehab journey
55:30 Empathy – 'get in the hole' with the patient / person

We thought this terrific interview with Gilbert Enoka would provide value to all cricket players, coaches and club managers administrators.

Cat Peters from Grit and Greatness

When you join the NZ All Blacks Rugby Team, the legacy itself is far more intimidating than any opponent you’ll face.

Add to that the pressure, expectations and weight of a nation and you have the ultimate game within the game. We sit down with Gilbert Enoka - All Blacks Leadership Manager, internationally renowned mental skills coach and the man who's known for being able to get inside the heads of one of the greatest international sports team in history.

His true Kiwi, no b/s approach to greatness and the man who coined the 'No Dickheads' policy with a motto "if you can't change the people, change the people" has helped build one of the greatest and most revered cultures and proudest legacies of any team in history.

Join us as we get inside Gilbert's head and learn the tools and tactics to address resilience, pressure and manage expectations. Oh and we also find out just how bad the man cold really is (or isn't) when it hits the All Blacks camp...

Share Podcast with Rod Tucker | Life In Front And Behind The Wickets

Rod Tucker is a former Australian cricketer who has seamlessly transitioned into the realm of cricket umpiring at the highest level. Born on August 28, 1964, in Launceston, Tasmania, Tucker developed a passion for cricket from a young age, honing his skills both as a player and later as an umpire.

As a cricketer, Tucker was a talented left-handed batsman and a handy left-arm orthodox spinner. He made his first-class debut for Tasmania in the 1985-86 season, representing his state with distinction for over a decade. While his playing career didn't propel him to the upper echelons of international cricket, Tucker's understanding of the game and his astute judgment on the field laid the groundwork for his second innings in cricket - as an umpire.
