What is Frozen Shoulder and how do we manage it? In this episode, we welcome Jarod Hall, DPT onto the podcast to answer these questions and to discuss: - the importance of the subjective exam - the impact of placebo & nocebo on these patients - pain neuroscience education as a whole - therapeutic exercise treatment for the frozen shoulder Follow Jarod on IG: https://www.instagram.com/drjarodhalldpt To learn more about the ClinicalAthlete Community: https://www.clinicalathlete.com

In this episode, we are joined by Meryl Alappattu, DPT, PhD to discuss current evidence and management of urinary incontinence. - How common is it, and why isn't it talked about more? - Evidence-based treatment - Considerations for athletes - Resources and referral systems Connect with Dr. Meryl Alappattu: https://twitter.com/pundispice Meryl's Univ of FL contact page: https://goo.gl/UiQR8Z APTA section on Women's Health: http://www.womenshealthapta.org/ Girls Gone Strong: https://academy.girlsgonestrong.com/ References: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10024253 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28642223 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15014933 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24823491 To learn more about the ClinicalAthlete Community: https://www.clinicalathlete.com

Arthroscopic knee surgery is common, but is it warranted? Today we are joined by Sydney-based Orthopedic surgeon and researcher, Dr. Ian Harris. Dr. Harris discusses the evidence-practice gap regarding the use of arthroscopic knee surgery and provides insight into how we can improve the system. We discuss one of Dr. Harris' research papers - in which there was a strong recommendation AGAINST the use of arthroscopy in nearly all patients with degenerative knee disease.

What is knee valgus? When is it a mechanism of injury and when is it not? Does it matter in the squat? In this episode, we welcome Sam Spinelli, DPT to discuss these questions and more.

How do we define and track "load" with progressive rehab? How do we organize the rehab plan while managing other athlete stressors? In this episode of the ClinicalAthlete Podcast, we welcome Scot Morrison onto the show to discuss these topics, as well as: -When is it better to strive for “good enough” rather than “optimal” -Examples of feedback loops and metrics to track in order to keep the rehab plan on track -Frequency of loading -Loading tests for patients to gauge daily progress with tendinopathy -Issues with exercise dosage in current rehab practices -Issues with "predictive" models If you'd like to learn more about this topic, check out Scot's ClinicalAthlete Webinar at: www.clinicalathlete.com Scot's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physio_praxis/ Scot's Website: www.physiopraxis.co

In this episode of the ClinicalAthlete Podcast, we discuss how patient beliefs and expectations of care can have a significant effect on patient outcomes. We also discuss how we can manage, potentially reframe, and measure patient expectations clinically. We finish the show discussing a case study of an injured athlete, and how to incorporate patient education as it relates to appropriately framing patient expectations of care.

Episode 7: To Foam Roll or Not To Foam Roll

That is the question we attempt to answer in this episode. What does "self-myofascial release" do and how does it do it? Is it worth spending time on? Does it effect recovery, performance, or injury? What does the research say? Here's our take..

In the first edition of the ClinicalAthlete debate series, we are joined by Dr. William Brady, DC of: integrativediagnosis.com.

In the first edition of the ClinicalAthlete debate series, we are joined by Dr. William Brady, DC of: integrativediagnosis.com. During this professional debate, we discuss the biopsychosocial model of pain and injury. What effect does a clinician have on the "bio"? When and how should the "psychosocial" element be addressed? Should we take a "structuralist" or "pain science" approach when diagnosing and managing injury? Is it a dichotomy? We also discuss, at length, the existence and management of fascial adhesions. What are adhesions? Can we identify them with palpation? Can we make structural changes with manual interventions? We would like to thank Dr. Brady for coming on this show.

Are children specializing too soon? How early is too early to pick one sport? What can we do to foster long-term development? In this episode, we discuss youth athletic development and whether early sport specialization is a risk factor for our young athletes.

What is "pain"? Does pain mean tissue damage? Can we, or should we, treat pain directly? Does the approach change in acute versus chronic cases? In this episode, we attempt to talk through the complex topic of pain science, as it relates to clinical application.
