Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers – Details, episodes & analysis

This week on the Unreal Results podcast, we’re going to put together the puzzle that is the piriformis.  The piriformis is classically known for its stability of the hip but also for being the “cause” of a lot of problems around the hip and beyond.  In this episode, you’ll hear about piriformis anatomy & biomechanics and how they relate to effective assessment and treatment of the piriformis.  You’ll also hear specifics regarding why clamshells aren’t bad, closed-chain exercise benefits, and the connection between the piriformis, pelvis, and sacrum.

On this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I take some inspiration from a question I got from an athletic trainer who is taking my free mini-course, The Missing Link.  Her question was regarding how the SI joint may be affected in hockey players due to various reasons including skating, shooting the puck, and their general playing position.  In this episode, you’ll hear me break down how I think about how a hockey player’s dynamic posture and movement affect the visceral and neurovascular structures, which could ultimately be the main driver of their pain complaints.

This week on the Unreal Results Podcast, I dive deep into the complexities of restoring knee flexion following an injury or surgery.  This is a topic that I know all too well as I spent many days in PT having my knee forced into flexion and well, I still don’t have full knee flexion.  In this episode, I talk about some of my favorite techniques that don’t require you to force your patient into tears to help them achieve full knee flexion.  You’ll hear me discuss some of my favorite approaches including the “standard” hands-on techniques with the typical biomechanical lens of view.  But you know it wouldn’t be an Unreal Results episode if I didn’t talk about the holistic side of things including how specific visceral and neural influences can affect the knee as well as the importance of hydration.  This is a can’t miss episode for all of my healthcare providers who want to help their patients with treatment techniques that stick from session to session without endlessly repeating them every session.

This week on the Unreal Results podcast, I talk about one of my favorite topics - the Gillet SI joint test.  Gillet’s test or sometimes known as the March test or Stork test, is typically known for having poor reliability based on previous research.  If you’ve been following along for some time, you probably know that said research likes to get thrown around by the EBP police when I make posts on social media.  But the often overlooked part of these research studies is that they have lots of flaws and limitations.  Make sure you tune into this episode as I break down why the studies on the Gillet test aren’t the best and why I think the SI joint is innately difficult to assess with only one test.

In this week’s episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I talk about recognizing and responding to red flags in patient care.  First and foremost, this topic is important to me because this is what happened with my mom’s cancer diagnosis, which I talked all about in episode 1 of this podcast. I talk about how it’s important to recognize when a patient’s condition isn’t progressing as expected and the need to consider possible underlying visceral issues or red flags such as cancer or infection.  You’ll also hear me talk about the importance of referring your patient to a specialist and how to do that appropriately to ensure comprehensive care for the patient.  This is a must listen episode for my physical therapists, athletic trainers, and other essential sports healthcare providers.
