Have any of your shoulder patients improved and then plateaued, unable to regain their full range of movement, or get rid of their painful arc?

| 072. Accelerated hamstring injury rehabilitation exercise selection and progressions with Jack Hickey | 03 Nov 2017 | 01:16:50 | |
Injured athletes like to recover and return to play as quickly as possible, and we need to balance return to play against impaired strength, performance and risk of reinjury. Initial injury rehabilitation often commences with isometric exercises, progressing into concentric/eccentric style exercises when isometric tests are pain-free. Finally high load eccentric exercises such as the Nordic hamstring are introduced for their positive effects of increased strength, fascicle length and reduced injury risk. High level and eccentric exercises are often avoided in the early stages of rehab, for fear of aggravating the injury. What if we could commence higher-level and eccentric exercises safely at an earlier stage? Would this impair or accelerate your patients' recovery? In this podcast with Jack Hickey, currently completing a PhD with the QUT/ACU hamstring injury research group, we explore an accelerated hamstring injury rehabilitation program, and how this can be implemented with your patients.

| 070. How to treat adductor related groin pain and complex cases with Dr Adam Weir | 19 Oct 2017 | 01:04:27 | |
Athletes with groin pain will commonly play with pain until the end of the season, and rest during the off-season in the hopes this will aid in their recovery. Unfortunately this offseason rest period rarely results in recovery, and athletes head into the preseason with long-standing groin pain and an extended recovery period. In this episode of the Physio Edge podcast with Dr Adam Weir , you will discover how to treat adductor related groin pain (ARGP) and complex patient presentations with multiple areas of pathology or pain. This podcast follows on from the Physio Edge podcast episode 69, where Dr Adam Weir and I discussed in detail how to assess and diagnose adductor related groin pain, identify or exclude differential diagnosis including stress fractures, hip joint involvement, inguinal related groin pain and nerve entrapment.

| 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:
This podcast is packed full of great information on this emerging ACL injury treatment. You'll finish this podcast with a deeper understanding of ACL injury management and Cross bracing plus practical knowledge, solutions and insights you can apply into your practice. Links

| 064. What is causing calf pain in runners and how can you assess it with Tom Goom | 09 Jun 2017 | 00:28:56 | |
One of the most popular blogposts of all time on Tom Goom's website running-physio.com is on how to manage calf tears in runners. Is this because it is a really common problem, or because Tom wrote such a great blogpost? It's a bit hard to tell, and most likely it's a bit of both, but it begs the question "Why is calf pain one of the issues so many runners face? " In episode 64 of the Physio Edge podcast, David Pope and Tom Goom discuss the latest research around calf pain in runners and what is actually going on. We want to give you all the tools you need to assess runners that present with calf pain, so we have included this in the episode as well.
