In Episode 45 we look at kinesiophobia as a predictor of failure to return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). What is kinesiophobia? How does it interact with all of the other issues...
In Episode 44 we look at comparing corticosteroid injection with “manual” physical therapy with special guest Adam Meakins (@adammeakins). What do they mean by “manual” physical therapy? Were the effects of either treatment very...
In Episode 43 we look at nonlinear vs linear pedagogy for teaching a sport skill. What does that even mean? How do we apply it? Have we been approaching return to sport completely...

In Episode 41 we look at a comparing a rectangular-shaped tunnel with a traditional transtibial round-shaped tunnels for ACL reconstruction. Does a rectangular tunnel require less graft tension? Will this restore more natural kinematics after...
In Episode 40 we look at a comparing the transtibial (TT) and the anteriomedial portal (AMP) techniques for ACL reconstruction and their effect on femoral tunnel orientation and subsequent postoperative knee joint kinematics....
In Episode 39 we look at a systematic review that explores the idea of Hip-Spine Syndrome. What is that? Is lumbar spine disease a contra-indication for hip surgery? Or maybe it is an...
In Episode 38 we look at a systematic review that tries to define “normal” mechanics for preventing ACL tears. Does that exist? How slippery is this idea of “normal”? What is normal? Female...
In Episode 37 we look at hip strength as a predictor of patellofemoral pain (PFP). Can we say that hip weakness causes PFP? What do we really know about this enigmatic condition? Is...
In Episode 36 we look at changes in range of motion after IASTM. Is it really doing anything to the tissue itself? What evidence is there really behind these tool assisted treatments? Acute...
