Matt and Allie are back with this month's clinical article(s)! This month Matt pulled together three separate articles that cover repairing, testing, and strengthening the ACL as it relates to sensorimotor dysfunction. The first article dives into what sensorimotor dysfunction is and how ACL injuries affect it. They also found that repairing a patient's ligament, instead of replacing it, decreases the probability of patients needing surgery on their other knee. Hear about how they compare a patient's function based on their visual reliance. The second article tests ACL improvement and early implementation of treating/ testing the patient's proprioception. The third article is a case study where a patient's improvement in PT was being held back by his own brain. His therapists threw in a few distractions to keep his brain work while his body is exercising, and his confidence and functionality improved significantly. Read all three articles here:1. https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptcases.2025.00892.https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.127253. https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.12726Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

She stresses the importance of strong medical evidence, proper documentation, and accredited representation, while warning against common mistakes such as assuming automatic approval or overlooking proof of service and biological parentage.

Jesse Beck's journey with stage 3 testicular cancer began in an unexpected way: persistent back pain. At first, he chalked it up to getting older or from dancing again after years away, but the pain escalated until he could hardly walk or sit. Doctors initially suspected autoimmune issues, but tests eventually revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a tumor pressing into his spine, and dangerous blood clots in his iliac veins.His diagnosis of 100% seminoma was both devastating and a relief - devastating because the tumor had spread, but a relief because seminoma typically responds well to chemotherapy. Jesse endured multiple ER visits, a painful orchiectomy, blood thinners, and three rounds of BEP chemotherapy. Within days of starting treatment, he felt the first real relief from the crushing spinal pain.Throughout his journey, dance became his anchor. Even while using a cane and conserving energy, Jesse continued choreographing and teaching ballet classes as a way to hold onto joy and creativity during treatment. Support from his family and friends in both California and New York helped carry him through long hospital stays, setbacks, and scanxiety.Now in remission but still managing lingering blood clots, Jesse is focusing on rebuilding both physically and mentally. His story is a reminder that back pain can be an overlooked symptom of testicular cancer, and that recovery is not just about being “cured," it's also about navigating life after treatment with patience, resilience, and support.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

Back pain is one of the most common health problems in the world — but also one of the most mysterious. Scans don't always match symptoms, treatments don't always provide relief, and many people feel stuck with ongoing discomfort.In this episode, I explore chronic, non-specific low back pain through a biopsychosocial lens. Basically, we're looking beyond just the spine to understand how biology, psychology, and environment all shape the way pain is experienced.You'll hear about:What makes non-specific low back pain so puzzlingHow pain perception actually works (pain ≠ tissue damage)Why the biopsychosocial model is key to understanding painThe role of self-regulation in shaping pain responsesWhat research says about meditation for back painHow to reframe back pain when you feel like you're hitting a wallJournal prompts to reflect on your own experienceBy the end, you'll have a new way to think about back pain, one that expands the options for healing beyond the body alone.Engel, G.

The way a woman stands, walks, and moves tells a powerful story. It speaks to how confident she feels… how safe she feels in her body… and whether her structure is supporting her—or working against her.   You see, every moment, our posture is either creating tension in our body… or releasing it. We're either holding stress and discomfort… or softening into ease, resilience, and flow.   And for many women, simply learning to stand and move differently has been the key to releasing years—even decades—of chronic back pain, and other womanly complaints. It's also the doorway to feeling more grounded, more energised, and more at home in your body.   In today's episode of I Love Me The Podcast, we're diving deep into women's pelvic health. We'll explore how to cultivate a posture that doesn't just look graceful—but actually supports your physical vitality and your emotional wellbeing.   And I'll introduce you to a practice I call Natural Womanly Stance—a simple, beautiful way to align your body in daily life. This approach can help you ease back pain, invite your pelvic organs back into their healthy positions, and connect you with that delicious sense of inner confidence and self-love that radiates from within.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/09/10/ep-69-the-posture-shift-every-woman-needs-to-ease-back-pain-and-enjoy-pelvic-harmony/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.   While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I'm known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women's Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I'm the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.   Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.

The thoracic spine is one of the most overlooked keys to resolving chronic neck and back pain. Acting as the central anchor between the cervical and lumbar regions, it influences posture, breathing, rib motion, and spinal stability. When the thoracic spine becomes stiff or restricted, the neck and lower back are forced to compensate, often leading to overuse, tension, and pain. Because it's deeply connected to the ribcage and diaphragm, thoracic mobility also affects circulation, lymphatic flow, and nervous system balance.  In other words, if you only treat the painful areas without restoring movement and pressure balance through the thoracic spine, the cycle of chronic pain continues. It's not just a middle piece of the spine—it's the missing link in many healing journeys. Joint By Joint Video Here
