Barossa-based beach-loving, wine-drinking, hard-working physio. #nobeachesinthebarossa

Difficult to watch, as it’s disgusting & reprehensible, but relevant as we strive for equalities in our profession.

Watch this. Remember this.

So I found a list from a social media course for physios giving 56 suggestions of accounts Physios might like to follow....only 10 of the accounts were held by females! Help me out here friends. Please feel free to suggest more female accounts! Those who made the list are......

[Melissa Smith @smithmelphysio]

So I am humbled and grateful for all the fantastic suggestions generously shared. Have enjoyed scrolling and following and hope to try and keep up with you all! Wish me luck! 😂

@FionaCranPhysio @ShoulderGeek1 @tendonpain @DrTaniaPizzari @KimBennell @alisongrimaldi @JoanneLKemp @NatJCollins @kaymcrossley @JodieMcClelland @CLEkegren @LindaDenehy Thanks for taking the time to share. I originally had an idea about the type of account I’d like to follow, but have since challenged my own biases and decided to include a little bit of everything and everyone. Always something to be learnt from every encounter.

@infantmotortest Thanks for the reply, and looking forward to following!

@fiorilass @Tash_Stanton @BerrymanCarolyn @HayleyLeake @trishgreenhalgh @lee_eugenie I am embarrassed that as a South Aussie I wasn’t already following some of these!! Thanks @fiorilass

@ShawnBurger @BuckeyeLinds Have barely played since taking home “Best Year 9 Girls score” in 1985, so perhaps it’s about time I got back into golf!!!

[Melissa Smith @smithmelphysio]

@OnlinePhysios @Irish_Physio Yes definitely caused much introspection, spending time thinking about my own biases. At the end of the day, Twitter is a great place to visit, but I don’t want to live here!!

[Melissa Smith @smithmelphysio]

@nurseto_ot Yes the female:male is only one of so many inequities! Am loving not only the great examples of women but also the diversity!

[Melissa Smith @smithmelphysio]

@NaomiMcVey Yes I don’t know how I am ever going to keep up with all these suggestions 😂

[Melissa Smith @smithmelphysio]

@PalingClaire @clairepatella It would certainly be interesting (if anyone had the time or inclination) if it’s perceived, or who we’ve chosen to follow, or if twitter is preferred by males???? Wonder if the ‘suggested for you’ follows have a trend too? Thanks for your comment.
