In Ep.196, Part 2 of our special Shoulder Series, our guest is Jo Gibson, a hugely respected shoulder specialist & educator both nationally & internationally, and upper limb rehab specialist at Rehab 4 Performance The show focuses on inclusive patient-centric healthcare, encouraging practicioners to use thorough subjective assessment to form a hypothesis, rather than rushing into the objective testing. Jo discusses different classes of shoulder conditions, the importance of clear communication, and strategies for diagnosis. Discover the role of reactive stabilization and neuromuscular elements in treating instabilities, along with the correlation between injury and re-injury. The podcast offers a comprehensive outlook on shoulder cases like impingement and instability. Detailed discussions about the practice of patient-centric listening to guide rehabilitation strategies are provided. A significant highlight of the episode is the exploration of a potential missing link in the recovery process – the critical aspect of neural control, referred to as the 'Control Chaos Continuum' (Taberner et al. 2019) The episode goes on to provide a better understanding of frozen shoulders, the role hormones play in shoulder pain, particularly in menopausal women. Filled with practical resources, Jo also provides details of her up & coming ‘Treating The Shoulder: Steps To Success' courses, both online & face-to-face.

Stingers or burners are a burning or stinging pain, often with some paraesthesia and occasionally weakness, often occurring in impact sports such as rugby or American football. When your patients present with neck and arm symptoms, how can you differentiate a stinger or burner from a C/sp fracture, discogenic symptoms or nerve root compression, which all require very different treatment? How should you manage patients with one-off or repeated stingers or burners? Find out in this podcast with Jo Gibson (Upper Limb Rehabilitation Specialist Physio).

Posterior shoulder instability can occur after a fall onto an outstretched arm, or diving and hitting the ground with your arm (like diving to score a try in rugby), injuring the posterior labrum and/or the glenohumeral joint. Unlike anterior shoulder instability, patients with posterior shoulder instability may not have have a feeling of instability, but may just experience pain, fatigue and weakness. How can you identify posterior shoulder instability in your shoulder pain patients? What does your rehab for posterior shoulder instability need to include?

Traumatic superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears can occur in contact athletes and other patients that land on their arm or shoulder, and in throwers and other athletes. Initial assessment and even MRI often miss or misdiagnose these injuries, leading to ongoing shoulder, long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) or ACJ pain. In this podcast with Jo Gibson (Upper Limb Rehabilitation Specialist Physio) you'll discover how to identify patients with SLAP tears. You'll explore which assessment tests can be used to diagnose and differentiate SLAP tears from other causes of shoulder pain, and which imaging modalities will actually identify SLAP tears.

Jo Gibson was kind enough to talk to me about everything except shoulders and to allow me a glimpse of the woman behind the stellar career. Her last minute decision to be a physiotherapist and a stern word form the principal. Pivotal career moments and lessons learned Initiation by shame and eventual acceptance by the medics Developing her own gentler leadership style Learning to cope with success And planning to slow down.......maybe!
Shoulder pain with swimming is often referred to as Swimmer's Shoulder. It's a fairly common problem among swimmers and even some triathletes. So what is Swimmer's Shoulder? Well, it's kind of an "umbrella" term for a bunch of different shoulder conditions that may cause pain with swimming. One person with Swimmer's Shoulder could have a painful rotator cuff tear, whereas another may have subacromial bursitis. Many swimmers with shoulder pain are diagnosed with shoulder impingement, so what the hell is that!? My guest today will be helping us unpack this complicated topic. Jo Gibson is a Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist at the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit based at the Royal Liverpool Hospital in the UK. She is an associate lecturer at the University of Liverpool (where I did my Physio training back in the day) and lectures internationally on the subject of shoulder rehabilitation. Jo is also the Squad Physiotherapist for the Great Britain Endurance riding Team and provides consultation to many elite sports teams regarding the management of difficult shoulder pain cases. Jo co-founded the International Congress of Shoulder and Elbow Therapists and has served as Vice president and Chair of the education committee on the EUSSER board (European Society of Shoulder & Elbow Rehabilitation). I could go on listing Jo's achievements for quite some time! However, most importantly Jo has a gift for understanding the whole picture when it comes to her clinical work. Fortunately for us, Jo is also a superb teacher, so get ready to learn a ton about shoulder pain from swimming.

Pec minor cops the blame for shoulder pain, scapular dyskinesia and all sorts of upper limb pain and “dysfunction”. Is pec minor shortness or “tightness” really responsible for shoulder pain? In this podcast with Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist), you'll discover whether the latest evidence supports pec minor as a major cause of shoulder pain, or whether pec minor is an innocent victim. You'll also explore: Is pec minor responsible for shoulder pain? Does pec minor truly become “shortened”? Is there a link between a shortened pec minor, scapular dyskinesia and risk of developing shoulder pain? Should the Pectoralis minor be stretched in patients with shoulder pain? Review of pec minor attachments & anatomy Measurement of pec minor length has been shown in the literature to be reliable, but do we need to measure it? What is the most effective way of increasing length in pec minor? Stretching, self release, taping or strengthening the rotator cuff? Does pec minor stretching help to improve shoulder function, mechanics or prevent injury in overhead athletes? How long do ROM improvements following pec minor stretching last? If patients have a clear history of trauma, is pec minor shortness relevant? Is pec minor shortness relevant in thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)? Can weightlifters develop pec minor tendinopathy? Is it worth assessing pec minor length in shoulder pain patients? Does the evidence support treating PM shortness in shoulder pain patients?

In this episode we speak with leading clinician & researcher Jo Gibson Jo Gibson studied physiotherapy at the Salford College of Technology and qualified in 1987. Her physiotherapy career started in Nottingham in 1987 at Queen's Medical Centre where an encounter with Professor Angus Wallace fuelled her interest in the shoulder. Jo moved to Liverpool in 1989 and after completing several years of rotational experience she joined forces with Professor Simon Frostick and, in 1996 she became one of the first specialist Upper Limb Physiotherapists in the UK. In order to increase her sub-speciality knowledge and expertise, Jo completed travel fellowships in the UK, Europe and the USA, sponsored by the British Elbow and Shoulder Society and Royal Liverpool University Hospital Trust Charities Board. Since that time the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit has gained an International reputation as a centre of Excellence in Shoulder and Elbow. Jo has a passion for education and since 1996 she has lectured nationally and internationally on rehabilitation of the shoulder and she runs her own courses all over the World. Internationally, in 2004 she was a co-founder of the International Congress of Shoulder and Elbow Therapists, a meeting which now runs tri-annually. In addition, Jo has served as Vice president and Chair of the education committee on the EUSSER board (European Society of Shoulder & Elbow Rehabilitation). Nationally, Jo has been the AHP representative on the British Elbow and Shoulder Society (BESS) Council and in addition she has served as a member of the BESS Research and Education Committees. She is an associate lecturer at the University of Liverpool and has co-developed tailor made masters modules to support physiotherapists working in or towards specialist Upper Limb appointments. Jo completed her Masters in Advanced Practice at Liverpool University in 2012 and completed her dissertation on the Biopsychosocial model cementing her belief in tailoring treatment to the individual and the importance of communication skills. She continues to be involved in upper limb research, has presented original research at many National and International conferences. She has published in peer-reviewed journals and written several book chapters. Jo also co-authored BESS Care Pathways for the British Elbow and Shoulder Society. Jo continues working at Liverpool Upper Limb Unit & Consultant in Private Practice In this episode we discuss: Jo's early family healthcare influences, how some disappointing A Level grades, her competitive nature and interest in Sports Medicine led to a career in physiotherapyHer main motivations for “helping others, making a difference and always striving to be better” have underpinned her whole careerHow Jo's passion for running and then Endurance Riding satisfied her competitive nature (she was modestly, VERY good too!)Key mentors, clinicians and surgeons who have inspired Jo (her Dad, Prof Angus Wallace, Prof Frostick, Louis Gifford, Ben Kiblet et al)How & what she learnt from trips overseas‘Keeping it simple for the shoulder' and translating the evidence into meaningful application for cliniciansHow communication is our SUPERPOWER Facebook: @hdpnglobal Twitter: @shouldergeek1 Instagram: @shouldergeek1 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo-gibson-51008513 Education https://www.hd-pn.com

When is shoulder pain from the C/sp? When a patient presents with shoulder pain and stiffness, how can C/Sp referral be identified? If a patient has full neck range of movement, and neck movements don't reproduce shoulder pain, can their pain still be from the C/sp? Recent research shows that including treatment of the C/sp can improve results in up to ⅓ of shoulder pain patients. In this video with Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist) discover how to identify, assess and treat patients with cervical referral, including: What history and pain features will patients with cervical referred shoulder pain report? What assessment tests can be performed to diagnose or rule out the C/Sp involvement in shoulder pain? What information does palpation and repeated movements in the objective assessment provide? What does the research reveal about cervical referred shoulder pain? What biopsychosocial factors may be involved in cervical referred shoulder pain? How can manual therapy to the C/Sp improve shoulder range of movement? What education can be provided to patients with cervical spine referral? What exercises and exercise variations may be used to improve cervical referred shoulder pain? Are upper muscle fibres of trapezius “overactive” or are these muscles actually weak? What exercises can be used for upper traps in C/sp referred shoulder pain? What manual therapy can be used for C/sp referred shoulder pain?

Join Jo and ben as they chat about the much discussed BioPsychoSocial (BPS) model. Some points that are pondered! Has the BPS model been misinterpreted? Is it better described as a self reflection tool? Is it really a philosophy of care rather than a treatment model? How does Jo use it in clinical practice? Can we actually measure the effectiveness in research of the BPS?

It was my honour to interview Billie Jo Gibson, who stepped up and took on the responsibility for the Liverpool Autism Pride event a few years ago. She is also the webmanager for Neurodivergent Labour.We all come from somewhere. A place that makes us. I come from the city of Liverpool. As we 'Scousers' say, a boss interview with Billie la.Life can be a huge journey. Billie takes us on her's from a young diagnosis to her creative life and unflinching political stanch. One day people will take for granted the effort and sacrifices that activists like Billie Jo have had to go through. For now, please enjoy this little bit of history. I sometimes think the people who started it all and took on the world in their own small way, were never rewarded by the future's view of just how significant their actions were. Billie, take courage and pride that when I was a child in the 1970's no one knew anything about being autistic like they do now. But in the future your work will go on and mean so much to people like us. Please enjoy.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/guerilla-aspies-autism-aspergers-syndrome-neurodiversity.

When you assess your patients shoulder movements, and notice a winging scapula, altered resting position or timing of scapula movement, do you need to treat it? Can we diagnose “Scapular dyskinesis”, and does it matter? How can you simplify your scapular assessment? In this podcast, Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist) explores common beliefs and myths around the scapula, including: Abnormal scapular kinematics cause pain We can predict patients that are going to get shoulder pain Upper traps should be retrained to decrease their activation Scapular-based interventions are superior to rotator cuff based treatment There are reliable and valid ways to assess scapular movement Alongside this mythbusting, you'll explore: Is there any point assessing the scapula? Is scapular asymmetry normal or abnormal? Is scapular dyskinesis a normal response to exercise or loading? How accurate are we at identifying scapular dyskinesis compared to findings in laboratory studies of scapula movement? What scapular findings will you commonly observe in patients with massive rotator cuff tears, nerve injuries & stiffness? How does rotator cuff fatigue impact scapular movement? How does fear avoidance and worry about particular movements impact muscle activity and movement? When is increased upper traps activity helpful and beneficial? Should we try to decrease upper traps activity in patients with C/Sp driven shoulder pain? Can we preferentially target the scapular or rotator cuff with our exercises? Do improvements in shoulder pain correlate with changes or “improvements” in scapular movement? How do scapular assessment test (SAT) results impact your treatment and exercise prescription? If the SAT improves pain, does that mean we should perform scapular based exercises? Can we use scapular dyskinesia classification to stratify patients or guide our treatment? Is there any reliability in scapular assessment? Does the SAT simply identify those that have a favourable natural history ie are going to get better on their own regardless? Do scapular treatments increase the subacromial space, and does this matter? Is winging post-surgery (posterior stabilisation + labral repair) a product of surgery or does this need to be addressed? How does incorporating the kinetic chain into rehab impact patient movement strategies, scapular and rotator cuff recruitment? Are scapulothoracic bursae relevant to shoulder pain? How can you address patient beliefs and fear avoidance around their shoulder pain?

Do you include stretches in your treatment of shoulder pain? Have you ever identified a glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) and used the "Sleeper stretch" to help improve internal rotation? Do stretches have any value for shoulder pain, or are there better treatment options? In this podcast, Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist) discusses how to differentiate true capsular stiffness from muscle stiffness, what information GIRD provides, and whether sleeper stretches for shoulder pain are a useful treatment. Jo explores the current research and clinical implications on your treatment, including: What is the driver of decreased range of movement (ROM)? If we get immediate changes in ROM with a sleeper stretch, does that mean we should use this as a treatment? Is stretching an effective, efficient and evidence-based treatment? Can we use strengthening movements to improve range and cuff recruitment? What exercises can you use with patients with GIRD to improve ROM and cuff recruitment? Humeral retroversion and how torsional load from throwing sports at a young age impact your ROM assessment. If you have a patient with GIRD, what does this tell you? In patients with true capsular stiffness, does stretching in combination with damp heat have a role? Does eccentric strengthening have a role in improving GIRD in patients with true capsular stiffness or fibrosis? How can you use GIRD to monitor your athletes fatigue and recovery?

Shoulder surgery in athletes is common following dislocation. Accelerated post-op shoulder stabilisation rehab protocols include early mobilisation to reduce movement, proprioceptive and strength deficits. This has allowed earlier return to play (RTP), however athletes often still have significant proprioceptive and strength deficits up to 2 years post surgery. Despite getting back to play, athletes may struggle to get back to performance. Following surgery, contact athletes such as rugby players, throwing athletes and young players have additional RTP challenges. Redislocation risks in contact sports such as rugby are high, leading to poor outcomes. Younger athletes are not skeletally mature, and with early RTP following stabilisation surgery may have higher failure rates. How can you identify and address these challenges? Which tests and features in a patients history help you determine whether a patient is suitable for an early RTP? In this podcast with Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist), you’ll explore: Which shoulder tests are most valuable with your patients? How has emerging evidence challenged our previous approach to RTP testing? What are the risks associated with early RTP following shoulder surgery? How can you help identify athletes at risk of redislocation? Which psychosocial factors impact RTP? How does fear of reinjury and levels of anxiety about their shoulder affect RTP? How does your patient’s sport of choice affects dislocation risks? How is RTP impacted by patients age? How do daily stressors impact RTP and predict outcomes? Which psychosocial factors impact RTP? What is the biggest factor in whether an athlete gets back to play? Which question are key to ask your patients? Which questionnaires can you use with your post-op shoulder patients? Which tests and combinations of tests have been validated and are evidence-based? How can you assess range of movement (ROM)? How can you measure patients strength? How is rate of force development (RFD) affected following shoulder injury? How can you assess RFD?

Patients with shoulder pain, rotator cuff tears and nerve injuries can often be seen shrugging their shoulder while they lift their arm, appearing to overuse their upper fibres of trapezius. Surface EMG research has shown increased activity in UFT in shoulder pain and whiplash patients. To add to this, patients get sore upper traps, and can be adamant that they need regular massage of their upper fibres of trapezius (UFT). We seem to have plenty of evidence that we need to decrease UFT muscle activity, and help this by providing exercises to target the middle and lower traps. Is this really the case? Are the upper traps really a bad guy, or a victim caught in the spotlight? Do we need to decrease upper traps muscle activity to help our patients shoulder or neck pain? Or perhaps counter-intuitively, do we need to strengthen upper traps and help them to work together with the surrounding muscles? In this podcast, Jo Gibson (Clinical Specialist Physio) explores the evidence around the upper fibres of trapezius, and implications on your clinical practice. You’ll discover: What are the myths around upper traps? Are upper fibres of trapezius a bad guy or a victim? Why do upper traps sometimes seem to be overactive? Should we aim to increase the activity in middle and lower traps? What information does surface EMG really provide? Can taping of the scapula change recruitment of the trapezius? Should we strengthen UFT? Why is initial activation of the UFT important in shoulder elevation movements? Why should patients with rotator cuff tears or stiff & painful shoulders use upper traps more with their movements? How can we incorporate UFT strengthening into our shoulder strengthening? What exercises can we use to strengthen UFT without increasing activity in levator scapulae? Why is UFT strengthening important in ACJ injury rehab? In gym goers, what scapula setting errors are commonly used? How do nerve injuries that affect the upper traps impact movement? Do trigger points or soreness indicate that our patients need massage or exercises to decrease UFT activity? Download this episode now to improve your treatment of shoulder and neck pain.

Patients with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) may have undiagnosed pain and symptoms into their shoulder, arm, hand, scapula, head, face, upper back, axilla, chest and anterior clavicle. With a number of potential sources of pain in these areas, TOS patients commonly have a delayed or incorrect diagnosis, followed by unnecessary and unsuccessful surgery. Further complicating matters, imaging and nerve conduction studies are often clear or inconclusive. Studies show that on average, patients with TOS have an average of 5 years of symptoms and see 6 doctors before receiving an accurate diagnosis. What tests and questionnaires will help guide your diagnosis and intervention? When are patients suitable for Physiotherapy and conservative management? When should you refer on for a surgical opinion? In this podcast with Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist), you will discover: What is Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)? Commonly reported symptoms of TOS Three different types of TOS The most common type of TOS with around 80% of all TOS patients Why imaging and investigations are often clear, and don’t match up with symptoms 3 key causes of TOS The relationship between TOS and hypermobility syndrome Criteria for diagnosis in the latest TOS diagnostic consensus statement Differential diagnosis (DDx) - Cervical NR compression, and peripheral nerve entrapment Common subjective findings that guide you towards a diagnosis of TOS A questionnaire you can use to assist cervicobrachial diagnosis What information is gained from imaging, including MRI and MR Neurography & nerve conduction studies What are the limitations of imaging? What is the difference between small nerve fibre and large nerve fibres, and how this impacts diagnosis QST - Quantitative sensory testing - Pin prick (Neurotip) and Thermal testing - warm and cold Simple QST test using a coin Objective testing What tests do you need to perform in patients with suspected TOS? What is the elevated stress test (EST)? What information does an upper limb tension test (ULTT) provide? Does a negative ULTT test exclude TOS? How are nerve blocks used? What is the best way to perform a nerve block? How effective are nerve blocks in assisting diagnosis? Who should we refer on for early medical or surgical management? When should you get an early surgical opinion? Which patients are likely to benefit from conservative management?

Your knuckles getting crushed in an overenthusiastic handshake by hands the size of watermelons isn't a fun experience. Do these knuckle-crushers know they're squeezing that hard, or do they just regularly snap pencils while taking notes, and wonder why pens and pencils are so fragile nowadays? How much grip strength do you actually need, even if you're not planning on crushing any knuckles the next time you meet someone? How much grip strength do your patients need when recovering from a hand, wrist or upper limb injury? Testing and building grip strength is a really important part of helping your hand, wrist, elbow pain and injury patients get back to work and day to day life. Gripping also pre-activates the rotator cuff, so you can use gripping as part of your patients shoulder rehab exercises. Grip strength tests using handheld dynamometers (HHD)* test your "Power Grip", but this test doesn't assess thumb or pinch grip strength. There are two other grip strength tests that are pretty easy to perform, that are going to be better suited to some of your patients. What are they, and how can you test the different types of grip strength in your patients? In this podcast with Physiotherapist (English Institute of Sport Boxing Technical Lead Physio) Ian Gatt, we discuss assessing and building grip strength, assessing hand and wrist injuries and more, including: 3 different types of grip strength you need to measure in your hand and wrist patients How grip strength measures help guide your assessment and prognosis What is the "Power grip" and how is it useful? How can you test thumb strength? Low-tech, simple grip strength tests you can use in your clinic The high-tech approach to grip strength testing How strong should wrist flexors and extensors be? How can you assess weight bearing tolerance of the hand and wrist? Why your patient can have a painfree grip and still be painful with weightbearing on the hand What exercises, weights and reps should you use following upper limb injury? How can you accurately measure wrist range of movement? How are the proximal radio-ulnar joint (PRUJ) and radio-humeral joint (RHJ) involved in hand and wrist injuries, and how can you assess these?

The long head of biceps tendon and superior labrum can get a hard time in throwing athletes and patients that fall on their arm or shoulder. This can result in long head of biceps tendon pathology or SLAP tears, and cause ongoing shoulder pain. A lot of our shoulder tests are non-specific, and are unable to identify particular structures that are irritated or painful in the shoulder. In the case of the long head of biceps (LHB) tendon and slap tears, there are a few useful tests that in combination with a good history can help you identify when the structures are involved in your patient's shoulder pain. In episode 77 of the Physio Edge podcast, Jo Gibson, Shoulder Specialist Physio and David Pope discuss anterior shoulder pain, LHB pathology and SLAP tears. You will discover: Anatomy of the long head of biceps tendon and superior labrum Why the anatomy is important, and may be different to what you learnt at university around the biceps tendon and bicipital groove The clinical presentation and relevant history of patients with SLAP lesions and LHB tendon pathology Which patients are more likely to get SLAP tears following trauma Special tests that may help you identify LHB pathology and SLAP tears What information imaging gives us When to request imaging for your shoulder pain patients Different groups of patients that develop LHB pathology Rehabilitation of LHB tendon pathology and SLAP tears When to specifically target the LHB tendon, and when to target the surrounding structures for best results Other areas to consider in your rehab beyond the shoulder How the kinetic chain can impact shoulder pain How someone's hop distance can influence their shoulder pain How to start treatment of someone with an irritable LHB tendon Important education components to include in your treatment Time frames - How long do these injuries take to recover?

Tendinopathy patients may present for treatment with an ultrasound or MRI report in hand, unsure how you can help them, or how they can possibly recover when they have so much tendon pathology. To add insult to injury, they may even have a partial tendon tear on their imaging report thrown into the mix. How do imaging results impact your treatment and your patient's recovery? Are the imaging findings relevant to their pain? In this Physio Edge podcast with Dr Sean Docking (Physiotherapist, PhD), you will explore what information imaging actually provides in your tendinopathy patients, how to explain imaging to your patients, and whether partial tendon tears identified on imaging will effect your treatment. You will also discover: Who develops tendon pathology If patients have tendon pathology on imaging, is this responsible for their symptoms, or will it cause future tendon pain Asymptomatic tendon pathology in sports people How tendon pathology can actually be linked to better performance Can we prevent tendon pathology The advantages and disadvantages of different imaging types, including MRI Ultrasound Ultrasound tissue characterisation (UTC) Why a thickened tendon may actually be helpful in recovery How can we actually diagnose tendinopathy When is imaging useful Differential diagnosis of Achilles pain, including Achilles tendinopathy Paratenonitis Plantaris associated tendinopathy Partial tendon tears, the accuracy of identification, and how they impact your treatment Sports injuries virtual conference As mentioned in this episode Sean presented at the 2017 Sports Injuries virtual conference.

Injured athletes like to recover and return to play as quickly as possible, and we need to balance return to play against impaired strength, performance and risk of reinjury. Initial injury rehabilitation often commences with isometric exercises, progressing into concentric/eccentric style exercises when isometric tests are pain-free. Finally high load eccentric exercises such as the Nordic hamstring are introduced for their positive effects of increased strength, fascicle length and reduced injury risk. High level and eccentric exercises are often avoided in the early stages of rehab, for fear of aggravating the injury. What if we could commence higher-level and eccentric exercises safely at an earlier stage? Would this impair or accelerate your patients' recovery? In this podcast with Jack Hickey, currently completing a PhD with the QUT/ACU hamstring injury research group, we explore an accelerated hamstring injury rehabilitation program, and how this can be implemented with your patients. You will discover: The limitations of traditional rehabilitation What is the evidence for only using isometric exercises in the early stages of rehab Why eccentric exercises are commonly thought of as too high a load for initial rehab More modern rehabilitation programs for hamstring strain injuries, including the Askling (2013), Aspetar (2017) and Mendiguchia (2017) programs An accelerated rehab program, introducing higher-level and eccentric exercises at an early stage How often high-level exercises need to be performed Which exercises you can use with your hamstring injury patients How to know when to progress your patient's exercises When you can start your patient's rehabilitation When your patients can return to running How to progress your patience through a return to running program When your patients are suitable for return to sport Download this podcast and subscribe on iTunes Links associated with this episode: Get your free access to Sports Injuries presentations with Dr Ebonie Rio, Jack Hickey, Dr Adam Weir, Dr Michael Rathleff, Jo Gibson and Prof Bill Vicenzino Jack Hickey David Pope on Twitter Clinical Edge on Facebook Have a free trial Clinical Edge membership ACU open access hamstring journal repository Dr David Opar on Twitter Dr Anthony Shield Dr Morgan Williams Dr Matthew Bourne Nicol van Dyk Rod Whiteley Nirav Maniar Ryan Timmins Dr Steve Duhig Sliding discs to use in hamstring slider exercises in your clinic - available in Australia.

Hamstring injuries are the most common injury in football and AFL, and we can help our patients strengthen their hamstrings while significantly reducing their risk of injury with the right exercise program. What are the best exercises to use to strengthen and lengthen the hamstrings, and to prevent hamstring injury? In this Physio Edge podcast with Dr David Opar, we discuss hamstring injury prevention, which athletes will benefit, which exercises to use, the most important aspects of each exercise and how to incorporate these with your athletes. You will discover: What does the latest research around hamstring exercises and injury reveal? Which players are most at risk of hamstring injury? How can we prevent hamstring injuries? How does hamstring muscle architecture adapt to training, and how does this relate to your exercise selection or prescription? How can we increase hamstring muscle fascicle length? How can we tailor our patients hamstring program based on whether they are preseason, in-season, uninjured or previously injured? Which exercises are important in hamstring rehabilitation and prehabilitation? How can you start and progress a hamstring injury prevention program? How quickly do patients lose their hamstring gains, and how much maintenance do they need to perform? What happens to hamstring muscle strength and flexibility following injury? What neuromuscular inhibition happens following hamstring injuries, and how can we address this in our rehab? There has been a lot of great research performed recently on hamstring injuries, and to share this and help you with your hamstring injury patients, we have invited Dr David Opar to present at the upcoming Sports Injuries virtual conference in December 2017.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Jo Gibson is featured to discuss physical therapy treatment of the unstable shoulder. Jo is a Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist working at the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit at the Royal Liverpool Hospital and a Consultant in private practice. She has worked as a Shoulder Specialist since 1995 and lectures nationally and internationally about assessment and rehabilitation of the shoulder complex. Jo has co-developed Masters modules with Liverpool University for the diagnosis and treatment of upper limb pathology and has co-authored national guidelines for the management of different shoulder pathologies. She has presented original research at many National and International conferences, published in peer-reviewed journals and written several book chapters. In addition she is an Associate Editor of the British Shoulder & Elbow Journal. In this episode, we discuss: -Using patient history to classify shoulder pathology -Factors to consider when deciding whether to treat with surgery or rehabilitation -The nervous system’s role in shoulder instability -How to use language and metaphors to develop buy-in -Jo’s takeaways from the British Elbow and Shoulder Society Conference -And so much more! Jo prioritizes learning about a patient’s history during the initial evaluation because it can serve as a roadmap for treatment. Jo has found that, “The biggest investment of my time is hearing how everything started and what the story has been from there.” Jo believes patient history to be more valuable than other evaluation method as she states, “The history tells me far more than any clinical test.” Symptom modification can be an important psychological tool to encourage more confidence in a patients shoulder capabilities. Jo stresses, “It is very empowering for the patient because it shows them that if we make their muscles work differently they are stable.” Jo’s treatment protocol includes a variety of functional exercises which utilize external cues to promote motor learning and neuroplasticity. Jo believes there is room for physical therapists to get creative with these treatments and that sometimes, “We kind of undermine the artistry of what we do.” Jo has found that improving her communication skills has led directly to improved physical therapy treatment outcomes. Jo reminds us that, “This is about being human. Communication underpins everything we do… Patients are just the biggest source of information and actually they give us all of the clues and give us the language to use.” For more information on Jo: Jo Gibson Grad.Dip.Phys MSc.(Adv.Pract) MCSP.
