The Modern Pain Podcast

In this conversation, Mark and Matt Low discussed the limitations of our knowledge from university and the pursuit of expertise in practice.  What are the potential challenges of community building and avoiding confirmation bias?  How does one diversify one's learning community and be open to different perspectives?   Why is AAOMPT's opposition to moving to a more broad definition of MSK care and expertise potentially problematic? Mark and Matt suggest that physical therapy needs to let go of some traditional practices to evolve and better serve patients.Nicola Petty  paper - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1746068915000024Matt on Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattlowptMatt's blog - https://mattlowpt.wordpress.com/CHAPTERS00:00 - Start01:55 - Matt's introduction05:47 - Current work and the pursuit of expertise14:02 - The pursuit of clinical knowledge12:53 - Owning our own bias23:59 - Diversifying your learning community31:06 - Defining expertise under a manual therapy flag33:20 - Why define ourselves narrowly36:22 - Limits of categorical thinking and knowledge silos46:23 - Recommended resources49:16 - Where to find Matt online*********************************************************************📸 - Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/modernpaincare/🐦 - Follow us on Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/modernpaincare/🎙️ - Listen to our Podcast - https://www.modernpaincare.com____________________________________Modern Pain Care is a company dedicated to spreading evidence-based and person-centered information about pain, prevention, and overall fitness and wellness
