The Shoulder Physio Podcast

Do we NEED philosophy in health science? Dr Rani Lill Anjum makes a compelling case for YES in the latest episode of The Shoulder Physio Education Podcast. Ready to arm yourself (pardon the pun!) with actionable strategies for assessment and treatment to use immediately in the clinic to improve patient outcomes and quality of life?  Come learn with me in The Complete Shoulder Online Course.

The topic of manual therapy and its role in physical therapy always elicits differences of opinion. In this episode, Adam Meakins and Chad Cook tackle the hard questions and attempt to clarify what manual therapy does (and doesn't) and where it fits into contemporary physical therapy care (if anywhere!).

In this episode, I talk with Kieran Richardson about some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding ACL injury of the knee. The ultimate question becomes: "is surgery a necessity after ACL injury"?

In this episode, I discuss the scapula with Filip Struyf, PhD.  We attempt to answer the measurement error question and how this influences everything thereafter!  After all, if we can't accurately measure something it becomes impossible to prove the validity and lacks any utility in clinical practice.
