| 179. Patellofemoral pain 3 - Effective rehab that won't flare their symptoms with Tom Goom | 08 Jul 2026 | 00:32:35 | |
Strengthening exercises are a key part of successful patellofemoral pain (PFP) rehabilitation. Squats, lunges and single leg squats are often painful early on and can aggravate your patients pain, but on the flip side, we want to build up their tolerance and confidence with these movements. If you introduce an exercise your patient isn't ready for, progress too quickly, or overload the knee too early, you'll often flare your patients pain and set their rehabilitation back. In this episode, Tom Goom (Running Physio) and David Pope explore the third pillar of successful PFP treatment: progressive rehab. Continuing the case of Alice from the previous two podcasts, a HYROX athlete preparing for competition, Tom and I walk through exactly how to choose, modify and progress exercises that build strength, restore confidence and prepare patients for the demands of running and sport, without flaring their symptoms.

| 178. Patellofemoral pain 2 - What to do when runners won't reduce their training with Tom Goom | 03 Jul 2026 | 00:33:29 | |
Many runners patellofemoral pain (PFP) is aggravated by the activity they love. They either stop running to let their pain settle, and then it returns as soon as they start back up again, or keep running despite the pain getting worse. They may know (and you may have told them) they should reduce their training….but what happens when they can't? Or won't? In this episode, Tom Goom (Running Physio) and David Pope explore the second pillar of successful PFP rehab: education and empowerment. Using the real case of Alice, a HYROX athlete preparing for competition, you'll discover how and when to help runners continue training safely while building long-term confidence and self-management. You'll discover:
Throughout the episode, Tom demonstrates how education isn't simply about explaining a diagnosis. It's about helping patients understand their pain, make better decisions independently, and confidently adjust their training as symptoms change. This is part two of a four-part podcast series with Tom Goom on PFP. In the next episode, Tom and David dive into the third pillar of rehabilitation: how to choose and progress strengthening exercises that build capacity without flaring symptoms, while avoiding the common rehab mistakes that slow recovery.

| 176. Neck-driven shoulder pain - 5 common misunderstandings. Physio Edge Shoulder Success podcast with Jo Gibson | 04 Mar 2026 | 00:11:46 | |
When is your patient's shoulder pain from their neck? Are you missing a cervical spine component in your shoulder patients? After a day in clinic reviewing patients with years of unresolved shoulder pain, Shoulder Specialist Physiotherapist Jo Gibson breaks down the five most common mistakes clinicians make when ruling in — or out — the neck. In this podcast, Jo covers:
Whether you're seeing patients with posterior-lateral shoulder pain, scapular pain, or symptoms that just aren't responding to local shoulder rehab, Jo shares a practical framework for refining your clinical reasoning and avoiding these common assessment pitfalls. Key takeaway: Up to 40% of patients with shoulder problems lasting six months or longer have some degree of cervical spine involvement.

| 171. Achilles tendon ruptures: Rehab & recovery with Prof. Peter Malliaras | 08 Jul 2025 | 01:27:25 | |
Your patient is running, playing sport, or jumping or lunging forward - an activity with fast eccentric or concentric activity in dorsiflexion,and suddenly they feel like they've been kicked in the back of the leg. They might hear a snap and have difficulty weightbearing, walking and pushing off. What's your likely diagnosis? You picked it - an Achilles tendon (AT) rupture. AT ruptures are a devastating injury that can drastically impact a patient's ability to walk, run, or return to sport. Despite their frequency, there's a lot of uncertainty among clinicians, patients, and even surgeons around how to best assess, treat, and rehabilitate Achilles tendon ruptures. Patients are often fearful of doing the wrong thing and re-rupturing the tendon. Therapists often follow a non-surgical protocol of putting people in a boot, but are unsure how to progress, how fast to progress and what to do during and after they're in the boot. An even bigger problem than AT re-rupture is the very common issue of an elongated tendon where patients have long-term difficulty with calf weakness and inefficiency, walking long distances, hopping, jumping, and returning to sport. In this podcast, David Pope (APA Titled Musculoskeletal and Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist) is joined by Prof. Peter Malliaras (Specialist Physiotherapist FACP, clinician and researcher with a PhD in tendinopathy) to explore the latest evidence, clinical insights, and rehab strategies for Achilles tendon ruptures. Peter draws on his extensive clinical experience, recent research, and the development of a specialist Achilles rupture service at OrthoSport Victoria to help guide your decision-making and treatment approach.

| 167. Bones, them strong bones: How to use bone loading programs. Physio Edge Running repairs podcast with Tom Goom | 29 Nov 2024 | 00:21:36 | |
Bone strength and density are vital in your running and sporting patients who can experience bone stress injuries (BSI's), and also as patients get older and more vulnerable to falls and fractures. How can you improve bone strength in patients following a bone stress injury such as Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome or stress fractures, or in other patients that you'd like to improve bone density or strength? Traditional approaches to strength and conditioning may not always address the needs of your patients recovering from bone stress injuries. That's where bone loading programs come in—a targeted strategy to help prepare bones for impact, improve power, and support a return to sport. In this episode, Tom Goom (Running Physio) dives into the research and how to use a bone loading program to stimulate bone adaptation. In this podcast, you'll discover:
Tom also shares insights on identifying readiness for impact exercises, managing patient expectations, and adjusting programs for individual needs. You'll leave this episode equipped with actionable strategies to help patients safely and effectively return to sport while supporting their bone health.

| 163. ACL treatment options and cross-bracing with Clare Walsh | 17 Apr 2024 | 01:07:42 | |
ACL injuries result in significant time away from sport and distress for patients. The variety of management options, from surgical intervention to non-surgical management and rehabilitation protocols, often makes us uncertain when educating and helping patients choose the most appropriate care for their needs and goals. Recently, a new non-operative ACL injury management pathway called the "Cross bracing protocol" has been pioneered and developed by Dr Tom Cross and Tom's father (the late Orthopaedic surgeon) Dr Merv Cross. This protocol offers a promising alternative for patients with ACL injuries who are suitable for non-surgical intervention, where the ACL injury may heal or repair itself. Not all patients with an ACL injury are suitable for the Cross bracing protocol or non-surgical management, so how can you identify whether your patient is suitable, and which treatment options are best for each patient? In this insightful podcast episode, we discuss the complex challenge of ACL injury management and Cross bracing with Clare Walsh (Specialist Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist, FACP). Clare treats a lot of patients with ACL injuries with prehabilitation, post-op rehabilitation, or non-surgical management including Cross bracing. Clare works alongside Dr Tom Cross and other Sports Medicine Doctors, Orthopaedic surgeons (including the late Dr Merv Cross) and leading Sports Physiotherapists at Stadium Sports Physiotherapy and The Stadium Clinic. Clare teaches on the Cross bracing course conducted in Australia for Physiotherapists and health professionals, and is a Senior Educator & Presenter here at Clinical Edge. In this podcast we explore:

| 153. Posterior shoulder instability assessment, surgery & rehab. Physio Edge Shoulder Success podcast with Jo Gibson | 20 Apr 2023 | 00:24:38 | |
Posterior shoulder instability can occur after a fall onto an outstretched arm, or diving and hitting the ground with your arm (like diving to score a try in rugby), injuring the posterior labrum and/or the glenohumeral joint.
