Where are we running!? Läuferknie lieben diese Folge. Klaas und Dennis schauen auf den Generalsstreifen der Extremitätenanatomie: Dem Tractus. Ist er verformbar? Opfer oder Täter? Und wer hat mitzukamellen bei Spannungsphänomenen des derben Gewebes. Di Knochenjob Jungs widmen sich abermals einigen Mythen und diskutieren über biomechanische Zusammenhänge des sehnigen Bandes mit seiner Umgebung. Dazu wie immer eine Menge aus dem Berufsalltag der beiden Volltblut-Osteopathen. Let's Go!
Nouvel épisode de Bobo Vélo ! Pour l'une des rares fois, nous sortons du format habituel et mettons l'accent sur les pièces. Aujourd'hui, nous démystifions les fausses croyances associées aux douleurs périnéales.Nous vous mettons en garde : ce n'est pas une question d'avoir LA selle parfaite. Si la selle qui est présentement sur le vélo n'est pas à la bonne place, jamais on ne saura si elle est adaptée. De plus, nous nous penchons sur les mythes autour des selles « d'homme » vs. « de femme » et de la technologie de pressure mapping.Comme dans chaque épisode, on présente le « BOBO » en trois temps :• Ce qu'on pense que c'est• Ce que c'est vraiment• Ce qu'on peut faire facilement (c'est ici qu'on te donne les trucs concrets à tester chez toi)

Episode 228: In this episode of Inform Performance, host Steve Barrett is joined by Dan Ramsden — Head of Performance for Super League's Hull KR, promoted into the role after eight years as the club's Head Physiotherapist. Dan now leads the club's strength, conditioning, and rehabilitation programmes, bringing together medical and performance functions under one department. Alongside a physiotherapy degree and a PhD focused on concussion, he holds a 5th Dan Black Belt in Aikido, and specialises in injury prevention and building athletic resilience in a collision sport. At the centre of the conversation is Dan's transition from clinician to department lead. He discusses what changes when your remit shifts from treating individual athletes to setting the direction of an entire performance team, the skills that transfer from physiotherapy, and the ones that have to be learned on the job. The discussion also explores the culture required to build and sustain a high-performing staff — how roles are defined, how disciplines are integrated rather than siloed, and how Dan develops the practitioners around him. Dan then unpacks player availability and its relationship with training and match intensity, before moving into his research area: concussion, neck strength, and the role of rate of force development (RFD) as a measure that goes beyond maximal strength testing. — Topics Discussed: Progression from Physio to a Head of Performance role Culture and development of a high performance team Player availability and its link to intensity Concussion and the use of rate of force development (RFD) within neck strength Where you can find Dan: LinkedIn Instagram — Sponsors Axon: Performance teams spend the morning after game day stitching together six systems before the coach gets an answer.

Dans cet épisode, Karine vous partage ses réflexions sur la réalité des familles qui souhaitent vivre une naissance physiologique et respectée, tout en choisissant d'accoucher à l'hôpital. Comment se sentir en sécurité dans le système médical sans pour autant remettre entièrement son pouvoir entre ses mains? Comment faire respecter son projet de naissance dans un environnement organisé autour de protocoles, d'interventions systématiques et d'une vision souvent pathologisante de l'enfantement? Karine aborde les souhaits très concrets des parents — liberté de mouvement, monitoring intermittent, absence d'intraveineuse systématique, choix de la position de naissance, respect du cordon et de la délivrance du placenta — ainsi que le rôle essentiel de la doula pour préparer ces discussions en amont. Un épisode freestyle, engagé et profondément optimiste sur la possibilité de créer une véritable alliance entre les familles, les doulas et les équipes médicales, afin que la naissance puisse rester puissante, humaine et respectée… même à l'hôpital.

Tränen aus heiterem Himmel, überschwängliches Lachen nach dem Thrust: Wenn durch osteopathische Arbeit die Emotionen an die Oberfläche drängen, ist das häufig für Patient*in und Therapeut*in ein bedeutsames Ereignis. Klaas und Dennis haben das in ihrer osteopathischen Arbeit schon einige Male erlebt. Höre Dir in dieser Folge vom Knochenjob-Podcast an, ob sie das eher als therapeutischen Durch- oder Zusammenbruch erleben? Gibt es dazu Studien? Kann man quasi Tränen auf Knopfdruck produzieren?

Folge 116: Instabilität verstehenClinical Reasoning statt SchnellschüsseWann wird aus einem vermeintlich harmlosen Schleudertrauma ein komplexer Fall?Und woran erkennen wir, dass hinter Nackenschmerzen möglicherweise mehr steckt als ein muskuloskelettales Problem?In dieser Folge unseres Formats „Speziell nachgefragt“, in Kooperation mit der MSK – Muskuloskelettale Physiotherapie aus dem Thieme Verlag, sprechen wir mit Pieter Westerhuis über das physiotherapeutische Management von Instabilitäten der Halswirbelsäule.Ausgehend von einem aktuellen Fallbericht diskutieren wir nicht nur über Diagnostik und Behandlung, sondern vor allem über das Clinical Reasoning, das hinter guten therapeutischen Entscheidungen steht.Wir sprechen unter anderem über:• Warum nicht jede Instabilität automatisch behandlungsbedürftig ist• Wann ein Schleudertrauma genauer betrachtet werden sollte• Welche Bedeutung Ligamentum alare und Ligamentum transversum in der klinischen Praxis haben• Warum manchmal bewusst auf weitere Tests verzichtet wird• Wie erfahrene Therapeut:innen zwischen notwendiger Diagnostik und Überdiagnostik abwägen• Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen zervikaler und Schulterinstabilität• Warum gutes Assessment häufig wichtiger ist als die Wahl der TechnikDiese Folge richtet sich an Physiotherapeut:innen, Manualtherapeut:innen und alle, die ihre klinische Entscheidungsfindung weiterentwickeln möchten.Zu GastPieter Westerhuis – Physiotherapeut, B.PT, PT OMTsvomp®, IMTA Principal TeacherDiese Episode vertieft die Inhalte des Fachartikels ‚Physiotherapeutisches Management bei einem Patienten mit Myelopathie Grad 1‘ von Maria Brugner-Seewald & Pieter Westerhuis, erschienen am 17.07.2026 in der MSK – Muskuloskelettale Physiotherapie bei Thieme.Hier gelangt ihr direkt zur aktuellen Ausgabe der Thieme-Zeitschrift MSK: [LINK]PartnerUni KonstanzDiese Folge wird gesponsert vom Bachelorstudiengang Motorische Neurorehabilitation an der Universität Konstanz.

This week on Pulse: Hot Topics, Louise and George look at what happens when digital health stops being a pilot and starts being a system decision — and why, again and again, the technology isn't the hard part.Portugal Buys AI Physiotherapy for an Entire Country — Portugal's National Health Service has contracted Sword Health to make AI-supported physiotherapy available to all 10 million citizens, free after a prescription, prompting the question: are governments shifting from buying AI software to buying AI-delivered healthcare?AI and Accountability: The First Complaints Land — The UK's first complaints about clinicians' inappropriate use of AI have reached professional regulators, arriving well before the evidence base and accountability frameworks are ready.95% of Health Apps Have No Verifiable Regulatory Approval — Rudolf Wagner's analysis found that of nearly 96,000 apps qualifying as Software as a Medical Device, 95% had no verifiable CE marking or FDA authorisation, leaving consumers with no easy way to know what they're actually using.Doctors Want Wearable Data, But Can't Use It — A new AMA(US) survey found 97% of physicians would review data from a patient's wearable, but no more than 6% have actually integrated it, blocked by missing standards, workflow fit, reimbursement and liability.Virtual Care Could Transform Residential Aged Care — Australian researchers found virtual care between aged care homes and GPs improves access and reduces unnecessary hospital visits, but is undermined by poor integration, unreliable networks and limited staff training — the technology works, the system around it doesn't.With Thanks to Datacom:Download the Executive Briefing Playbook LinkResources:Sword Health partners with Portugal's National Health Service LinkFirst complaints made over clinician use of AI, HSJ via Patient Safety Learning Hub LinkEnsuring the clinical impact of medical artificial intelligence, Andreoletti et al., Lancet Digital HealthLinkAnalysis of Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) Compliance in App Store Applications, Rudolf Wagner LinkDocs unable to harness wearables data, survey finds, Axios LinkVirtual care could benefit residential homes – study, Pulse+IT LinkVirtual care in residential aged care homes, Journal of Medical Internet ResearchLinkRecommendations:Clinicians – be part of the research into clinician use of AI, open globally LinkStandards Australia telehealth and virtual care standard LinkThere's An AI For That (TAAFT) newsletter LinkAge-Friendly Futures newsletter, George Gouzounis Link"Welcome to the Land of the Free" — World Cup song by Jason Stills LinkVisit Pulse+IT.news to subscribe to breaking digital news, weekly newsletters and a rich treasure trove of archival material.

Nine out of ten practitioners will switch off the moment you mention PVA. So how do you fill your books, reduce white space, and get great client outcomes - without the numbers talk killing your culture?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch sits down with Michael Rizk to dig into the patient visit average conversation that most clinic owners are getting wrong. Mic shares the three-part clinical framework he uses to help practitioners understand why patients should stay the course, without it ever feeling like a push to over-service. You'll hear how Start with Why, the North Star Exercise, and the concept of 90% Better is Not Better completely reframe the rebooking conversation - and why that reframe is the difference between a therapist who gets it and one who quietly resists. Plus Mick shares how his Private Practice Apprenticeship program is giving young physios the confidence and clinical grounding to see patients for the full journey.If your practitioners are losing patients at visit three or four and you're not sure how to have that conversation without it landing badly, this episode is for you.In This Episode You'll Learn:

What does freedom actually mean for you as a clinic owner - and what is it costing you to get it?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we challenge the most common misconception in business ownership: that freedom means more time off. We unpack why having Fridays free doesn't mean your mind is free, and why true freedom is less about escaping your clinic and more about designing it intentionally. We explore how structuring your week with constraints can actually unlock more mental clarity, why embracing responsibility often leads to greater fulfilment than stepping back from it, and how to reverse-engineer your ideal work-life balance by getting honest about your finances, priorities and what you're really chasing.If you're tired of running a business that owns you instead of the other way around, this episode will challenge how you think about freedom — and give you the tools to build it on your own terms.Need to systemise your clinic?

Hello & Welcome To Today's Episode! Today's guest has a unique perspective as she's both a high performance athlete AND a pelvic physio who is passionate about keeping girls and women involved in sport.Clodagh McIntyre is a rising star in physiotherapy who is both an inter-county camogie player for Tipperary and a pelvic health physiotherapist. Clodagh discussed her journey from UCD graduate to working in private practice, her experiences with stress incontinence as an athlete, and the lack of pelvic health education in physio training programs. We explored how pelvic health issues affect female athletes, with statistics showing 7 out of 10 athletes leaving sport due to bladder leakage, and discussed the taboo nature of discussing these topics within sporting teams. We discussed the importance of education and support around pelvic health issues for female athletes, highlighting the lack of standardization in GAA and potentially LGFA, as well as emphasising the need to normalize conversations about these issues and prevent them from deterring athletes from participating in sports.Clodagh shared her upcoming trip to Kenya with Warriors for Humanity and Self-Help Africa, where she plans to plant trees and help communities, for which she is fundraising. Please see linked below to her fundraiser! https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/clodaghmcintyre Our shared passion is definitely showcasing the conversation and embedding pelvic health into female athlete wellbeing : there's SUCH a need for better education about pelvic health at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as within sporting organizations, to support female athletes and prevent them from dropping out of sport due to pelvic health issues.Want to learn more about supporting the Female Athlete, and promoting pelvic and menstrual health? The Menstrual Detective online course comes with FREE access to the course 'Pelvic Health for the Young Female Athlete, where we look at all the potential drivers for pelvic health dysfunction, beyond isolated strengthening for the pelvic floor muscles.

Are you paying your practitioners fairly - or just paying them?In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we sit down with Sara Siami, founder of The People Plugin, to tackle one of the most avoided conversations in clinic ownership: practitioner pay. We break down how to build a clear pay philosophy that aligns with your clinic's goals, structure a remuneration framework that rewards high performers without blowing your budget, and run performance reviews that actually mean something. We also cover the true cost of employment (hint: it's more than the salary), how to benchmark against industry standards, and the legal minefield of contractor vs. employee classification - including the sham contracting risks that could cost your clinic big.If you're ready to stop winging pay conversations and build a structure that rewards performance and protects your bottom line, this episode is your playbook.Resources:You can find Sara Siami at https://www.thepeopleplugin.com/ and book in with her at https://meetings.hubspot.com/sara-siami Need to systemise your clinic?

Today on The Aging Project Podcast, we're joined by Michelle Kenway — one of Australia's leading pelvic floor physiotherapists, with over 1 million followers on YouTube. We talk honestly about bladder urgency, prolapse, leaking, constipation, pelvic floor strength and why so many women silently stop exercising after 50. If you're always looking for the toilet, crossing your legs when you sneeze, or avoiding exercise because you're scared of leaking or making things worse — this episode is for you. Michelle explains that your pelvic floor is a group of muscles — just like your biceps, glutes or core — and they need support, strength and proper training too. We also talk about the impact of declining estrogen after menopause, and how it can affect the tissues, muscles and support structures around the bladder, vagina and pelvic floor. Inside this practical and empowering conversation, we unpack: • How often you should actually be going to the toilet each day • Why going “just in case” can make urgency worse • How the loss of estrogen can impact bladder urgency, vaginal tissues and pelvic floor support • What prolapse actually is — in plain English • How to do pelvic floor exercises properly • The “moo to poo” technique for constipation and straining • Safe strength training and movement for women 50+ • Why leaking, urgency and prolapse are common — but not something you simply have to put up with If you've ever planned your day around toilets, stopped exercising out of fear, or felt like your body can't be trusted anymore — this episode could genuinely change the way you think about your pelvic health.

Are you getting short-term relief from bodywork, only for the pain to return a few weeks later? In this clip, I talk through why hands-on treatments can feel amazing in the moment but may not create lasting change if you're relying on someone else to “fix” you, and why movement and self-care matter so much for long-term healing.This clip explores how fascia and global body tension can influence recurring pain, why aggressive fascia release can look (and feel) intense, and how a slower, more intentional approach may support the body's own ability to reset. We also discuss walking as a powerful daily practice, why brisk walking is linked with a lower dementia risk, and the idea of walking backwards as a way to challenge the brain and build new movement pathways. Plus, there's a fascinating look at performance work with elite athletes, including why improving a jump can start with learning how to land, and how slow joint movements (around four centimeters per second) are used to reprogram movement patterns.Jason Van Blerk in conversation with Sarah Ann Listen to the full episode here.Watch the full episode on YouTube here.***This episode is sponsored by:NOWATCH: The compassionate health trackerConnecting body and mind with unique stress recovery insights so you can live fully today15% off with code LWBW15 at https://nowatch.com/DIOME: Rest deeper.

Do you really need an admin team to run a profitable, high-performing clinic?Mic Rizk, founder of iMove Physiotherapy, joins us in this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast to share how he's successfully operated his clinic for more than 13 years without an in-house admin team. We unpack how clinics can run with zero or minimal admin while improving profitability, team engagement and the client experience. We explore how outsourcing admin tasks, leveraging technology and creating clear team expectations can reduce overheads and free up more resources for therapist wages, professional development and better patient care. You'll learn how off-site admin services, digital check-ins and automated systems can streamline operations without compromising service quality, plus how empowering clinicians to take greater ownership can strengthen culture and retention.If you want to build a leaner, more efficient clinic that delivers exceptional client experiences without the traditional admin structure, this episode shows you how.Need to systemise your clinic?

Carbon-plated running shoes have completely changed endurance sport. World records are tumbling. Recovery between sessions seems quicker. And for many runners and triathletes, they feel almost impossible to ignore. But are they coming with a hidden cost? In this episode, I'm joined by physio and sub-30-minute 10k runner Andy Smith to explore what these shoes are actually doing biomechanically, why we may now be seeing different injury patterns in runners and triathletes, and how to use carbon-plated shoes without breaking yourself in the process. This is a practical conversation about performance, durability, strength, and why “faster” isn't always as simple as it looks. 5 KEY POINTS 1. Carbon shoes change running mechanics - They reduce load on the calf and Achilles… but shift stress further up the chain. 2. Injury patterns may be changing - Andy is seeing more bone stress injuries in areas like the femur and pelvis. 3. Faster recovery can be deceptive - The shoes may allow athletes to handle more training volume… before the body is ready. 4. Strength is now non-negotiable - Foot, calf, hip, pelvis and core strength all become even more important. 5. Most athletes transition too aggressively - Andy recommends gradually building into carbon shoes rather than using them for every run. 3 TAKEAWAYS 1. Don't let the shoes do the work - The stronger you are, the more benefit you'll get from them. 2. Protect your weak links - Hip stability, calf strength and foot control matter more than ever. 3. Build gradually - Introduce carbon shoes slowly and strategically. KILLER QUOTE

Was entscheidet im Rennen wirklich – nur VO2max und Wochenkilometer? Oder auch das, was zwischen den Ohren passiert? In dieser Folge von MainAthlet spreche ich mit Sportpsychologe Henning Thrien über ein Thema, das im Fußball längst angekommen ist und in der Leichtathletik gerade erst Fahrt aufnimmt: kognitive Fähigkeiten im Sport.Henning arbeitet seit Jahren im Hochleistungssport und ist Teil des Support-Teams von OAC Europe (On Athletics Club Europe) – einem professionellen Mittelstrecken-Team, das seit 2022 Europas Top-Talente entwickelt. Trainiert wird im Sommer in St. Moritz, im Winter unter anderem in Südafrika (Dullstroom) und in Spanien – mit einem interdisziplinären Staff, der Coaching, Physio, Athletik und Sportpsychologie eng verzahnt. Im ersten Teil der Episode tauchen wir tief in die Frage ein: Wie misst man Kognition? Henning erklärt ein game-basiertes Testsystem (vier „Brain Games“, ca. 45 Minuten), das exekutive Funktionen wie Arbeitsgedächtnis, Inhibitionund kognitive Flexibilität sichtbar macht – also genau die Skills, die in hektischen Rennsituationen über Position, Timing und Entscheidungen mitentscheiden können. Spannend wird's, als wir den Transfer in die Praxis machen: Was passiert, wenn ein Läufer im 1500m-Rennen Tempowechsel zu spät „checkt“? Liegt's an Wahrnehmung, Emotion, Fokus – oder an der Art, wie Informationen verarbeitet werden? Henning beschreibt, wie aus Testergebnissen konkrete Actionpläne entstehen: von Trainingsempfehlungen bis zu Race-Prep-Routinen.Ein Highlight: das Konzept des „Mental Programming“ – klare Wenn-Dann-Szenarien, Visualisierung mit allen Sinnen, Selbstgespräche und (ja!) sogar Voice-Memos, die Rennabläufe so verankern, dass du unter Druck schneller und sauberer abrufen kannst.Im zweiten Teil geht's hinter die Kulissen von OAC Europe: Wie sieht moderne Performance-Betreuung aus? Wie arbeiten die Disziplinen im Staff zusammen? Und warum kann zu viel Tracking (HRV, Schlaf, Daten) manchen Sportlern sogar die Lockerheit nehmen?Wenn du Leichtathletik liebst, im Training hart arbeitest und im Wettkampf noch „mehr rausquetschen“ willst: Diese Folge gibt dir einen neuen Blick auf Leistung.Alle aktuellen Partner findest du hier:NordVPN mit verschlüsselter Verbindung und blockiert schädliche Seiten & Tracker.Exklusiv: Großer Rabatt auf das 2-Jahrespaket + 4 Extra-Monate gratis.

In this episode of Chewing It Over, Jack speaks with Finn Stevenson about Flok Health and the idea of an AI physiotherapy service for back pain. Finn frames the problem clearly: in musculoskeletal care, especially within the NHS, the issue is often not knowing what works, but getting timely access to the care that already exists. With demand rising faster than workforce growth, traditional one-to-one care models struggle to keep up.Finn explains that Flok is not positioned as a software tool sold to clinicians, but as a regulated clinical service that combines AI with remote human physiotherapy support. Its current focus is spinal pain, particularly the large group of patients who can benefit from personalised exercise, reassurance, behaviour change support, education, and psychologically informed care. The ambition is to automate large parts of the pathway safely and consistently, while freeing face-to-face clinicians to focus on more complex cases.A major part of the conversation explores how this works. Finn distinguishes Flok's system from standard large language model chatbots, arguing that healthcare needs much tighter behavioural control. He describes a rule-based clinical reasoning system combined with a video-based interaction model built around “Kirsty,” a real physiotherapist whose filmed responses are assembled in real time to create a more human and engaging consultation experience.The discussion also tackles controversy: what counts as “physiotherapy,” whether this threatens the profession, and what happens when technology enters clinical care at scale. Jack remains probing but open-minded, while Finn argues that the bigger ethical issue is leaving patients stuck on long waits for care we already know how to deliver.Like, Comment, Subscribe all that good stuff :)
