In this episode of The Physio Coach Podcast, Charlie Goodchild sits down with specialist Foot & Ankle Physiotherapist Rebecca Christenson to explore what really drives successful rehabilitation. Using Charlie's own ankle injury and surgical recovery as the foundation for the conversation, they discuss how expert clinicians balance science, experience and coaching to help patients recover with confidence.

Topics covered:

  • Acute ankle sprains, bone bruising & why early protection matters

  • Returning to running after injury

  • Why flare-ups aren't failure—and how to manage them

  • Tendon rehabilitation: overload vs underload

  • Achilles tendinopathy & insertional tendon pain

  • Clinical reasoning, patient expectations & reading the person, not just the injury

  • Working with surgeons and making evidence-based rehabilitation decisions

  • What decades of specialist practice have taught Rebecca about becoming a better clinician
