  1. #42 Can you outrun persistent low back pain?

    4 DAYS AGO

    #42 Can you outrun persistent low back pain?

    In this episode of The Shoulder Physio podcast, I am joined by Chris Neason and Claire Samanna to discuss their recently published randomised controlled trial exploring running as a treatment for chronic low back pain.  Chronic low back pain is widely believed to be one of the biggest contributors to years lived with disability. As such, it is a problem that needs attention, and part of this is identifying effective treatments. Typically, exercise is a recommended and effective treatment for persistent low back pain, and this can include resistance exercise, pilates, yoga and many other movement based approaches. But what about good old fashioned jogging, could this work? Listen to find out! Don't miss this wonderful episode with Chris Neason and Claire Samanna. Key Papers: Neason C, Samanna CL, et al.

    #41: Rotator cuff tears with Doctor John Kuhn

    In this episode of The Shoulder Physio podcast, I am joined by Dr John Kuhn, who is an orthopaedic surgeon and researcher from the United States. Doctor Kuhn and his colleagues, through the MOON shoulder group, have published several high impact studies investigating the management of individuals with rotator cuff tears and the results of these studies have caused some controversy (good controversy, that is).  Rotator cuff tears are ubiquitous in musculoskeletal health care. They are both common and often burdensome, so it is important that shoulder surgeons and physiotherapists can agree on best practice management, for the betterment of the individual with the rotator cuff tear. So do John and I agree or not? Listen to find out.  Don't miss this wonderful episode with Doctor John Kuhn. Key Papers: Kuhn et al; MOON Shoulder Group.

    #40 Tennis elbow with Leanne Bisset, PhD

    In this episode of The Shoulder Physio podcast, I am joined by Leanne Bisset, who is the queen of tennis elbow, seriously. Leanne is an associate professor at Griffith University on the Gold Coast, Australia with a keen interest in upper limb tendinopathy. Leanne also has extensive experience as a clinician, which makes Leanne a balanced voice of reason.  Tennis elbow is a common and often debilitating musculoskeletal condition however it often receives insufficient attention compared to other, more sexy, tendinopathies. This episode will change that as we explore all dimensions of tennis elbow, from diagnosis to differential diagnosis to pain mechanisms and of course treatment.

    In this episode of The Shoulder Physio podcast, I am joined by Tim Gabbett, who is the training load master. Tim has an incredible resume as both a coach and scientist and recently featured in the top 10 of a list ranking sports scientists from around the world. In this episode, we go deep into the training load literature and what it may mean for the clinician and coach. We discuss the rise of 'load management' in the cultural zeitgeist and whether this is a good or bad thing. Tim discusses his principles of training load management and also responds to some challenges of his work.  Don't miss this wonderful episode with Tim Gabbett.

    #37: Medicine is sick: with Professors Rachelle Buchbinder and Ian Harris

    In this episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, I am joined by Rachelle Buchbinder and Ian Harris. Rachelle and Ian are academic doctors who still see and treat patients whilst also conducting high quality research. This conversation centres around the concept that modern medical care is sick. Over-treatment, over-diagnosis, junk science, and perverse incentives are just some of the issues plaguing modern medicine.  As it happens, Rachelle and Ian have written a book on this exact topic! The book is provocatively titled "Hippocracy: how doctors are betraying their oath" and is available at the link below. I hope you enjoy this episode.  Key Resources: 1.

    #36: Should physiotherapists provide dietary advice to individuals with knee osteoarthritis? With Professor Kim Bennell

    In this episode of The Shoulder Physio podcast, I am joined by Kim Bennell, a professor and research physiotherapist from the University of Melbourne. Kim has been involved in designing and implementing dozens of clinical trials over her many years of research and is a true giant of the physiotherapy profession. In this episode we discuss something novel. We venture into the world of physiotherapists providing dietary advice for people with knee osteoarthritis, which might be controversial. Kim has just published a landmark clinical trial on this very topic. We also delve into exercise for knee and hip osteoarthritis and whether there is an ideal dose or adherence level that leads to superior clinical outcomes. This is based on a recent review and there is some surprising results.  Don't miss this enlightening episode with professor Kim Bennell. Key Papers: 1. Allison K et al.
