Katsuhiro Inoue, a Melbourne-based Japanese physiotherapist, has been treating not only people with pain and injury, but also athletes who need fine and constant tuning of their bodies, since 2014 when he became qualified to do so.

Being a Physiotherapist is still a bit of a lesser-known occupation in Japan and many people still don't exactly know what physiotherapy is.

In the audio, Katsuhiro tells the differences he saw between Japan and Australia and also shares his experience as a physiotherapist for Australia's national Ultimate team.
