Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep91 A Fair Go for Neuro: Turning evidence into action
Q: What are we asking of governments and the community, and how can listeners support the campaign?
Rohan Greenland urges people to sign the campaign letter calling on governments to create a National Action Plan for Neurological Conditions. He says public support can build pressure for action and better support for people living with neurological conditions.
Ep91 A Fair Go for Neuro: Turning evidence into action
Q: What does the updated estimate tell us about the changing scale of MS in Australia, and what's driving that increase?
Tennille Luker says MS prevalence has increased substantially, from 96 to 139 cases per 100,000 Australians. She points to possible contributions from improved awareness and diagnosis, longer lives, reduced sun exposure, adolescent obesity and later or fewer pregnancies, while emphasizing the need for further research.
Ep90 Movement, Independence and Physiotherapy in MS
Q: What thoughts do you have on the current pressures in the health system and the issues people have accessing the treatments they require? How many neurological physiotherapists do we have in Australia?
James notes growth in the neurological physiotherapy workforce and the importance of ongoing advocacy and education about the role of neurological physiotherapists, while acknowledging systemic pressures and the need for clear reporting and continued investment in specialist care.
Ep90 Movement, Independence and Physiotherapy in MS
Q: Let's talk a little bit about physiotherapy for people living with MS. For someone newly diagnosed with MS, when should physiotherapy enter their care pathway?
James emphasizes early involvement, suggesting an initial neurological physiotherapist consultation as soon as diagnosed to address invisible symptoms like fatigue and subtle gait changes, with early access to fitness and strength programs and guidance on lifestyle factors to set up long-term management.
Ep89 Cassidy Krygger: Storytelling, Cinema and MS
Q: As someone living with MS, what have you learned about building creative projects in a way that protects your health while honoring your ambition?
I am still learning daily, but I rely on a strong support network, realistic schedules, and built-in recovery time after events to manage fatigue, celebrate progress, and maintain a sustainable creative pace without letting MS derail my goals.
