You have an upcoming appointment and you're not sure which questions you should ask? Boy, how fortuitous that you clicked on this video!

I'll be breaking down what I think are some of the best questions you can ask your Physiotherapist when you see them in clinic or hospital. What I think makes them the best, is how they can help you maximize the value you get out of the time you have with your healthcare professional. I elaborate more in the video on each question and why I think they're the best, which will hopefully help you remember why to ask them when you're at your appointment.

Questions are a really powerful tool that you have at your disposal as a patient! Do your best to make good use of them, get engaged in your recovery, and you'll be surprised how much healthcare can be like a team sport at it's best!

And now for the questions:

So why watch A Physio Named Jonah?
For free videos about the human body, injuries, rehabilitation, the world of Physiotherapy, and whatever other shenanigans comes along. Maybe you can learn something new and not feel like you're stuck in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring.

A Physio Named Jonah is a channel created by, well, exactly who you think. The channel features primarily Physiotherapy based topics, or things that it would make sense for a Physical Therapist to weigh in on. The goal is to make these often sterile topics interesting and easily accessible to anyone with a few laughs (or forced exhales from your nose if you're alone) along the way.

Jonah is a Canadian Physiotherapist who works with a primarily outpatient orthopaedic population at a clinic in Sudbury, Ontario. He completed his Master's of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, with his Bachelors of Sciences specialized in Human Kinetics coming from The University of Ottawa. He is also considered by his parents, girlfriend and dog to be a pretty cool guy (his cats are on the fence about the whole situation).
