In this episode, Kim tells us about a new patient she saw this week. A young Labrador with a history of elbow dysplasia and a current shoulder problem.

This leads us on to talking about the use of language in explaining medical conditions. It is actually more informative to keep things simple and use words people will immediately understand. For example, Kim often describes muscles as 'grumpy'!

We end with a discussion of the role of physiotherapists in quality of life assessments. Mobility and comfort are two key aspects of assessing quality of life. And physiotherapists are experts in these areas.
