In this episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, I am joined by Rich Willy, PhD to discuss bone stress injuries. Rich is one of the foremost experts in the world on bone stress injuries, and it was a real pleasure to sit down with him for an hour to chat all things bone. Bone stress injuries can be quite common in athletic populations and the consequences of a poorly managed bone stress injury can be severe. As such, it is so important to be able to accurately detect a bone stress injury, know how to manage it, and give appropriate advice and education around what causes it and what is their probably prognosis. Rich gives us a masterclass on all of this and much more. Don't miss this wonderful episode with Rich Willy, PhD. Key Papers: Nunns M et al.

In this rewired episode, we focused discussions on the needs of the Master's runner and explored the physiology, biomechanics, injury risk and rehabilitation of the Master's running athlete. Rich shares around why we slow down as we age, the principles that underpin the changes that we see, why our tendons tend to lose stiffness as we age, what happens to our calves as propulsive elements as we mature as runners. Why strength training is such a critical component of the ageing runners training program and how to structure strength training around the week's running volume. Rich answers the age old question, is running bad for our knees? He explains why a fast walking pace can be correlated with great longevity in life and touches on the role of footwear and shoe selection for the ageing or master's runner.

When it comes to rehabilitation after ACL injury, return to running can get a bit overshadowed by return to sport. Yet running is a key function milestone for athletes. Why is return to running so important and how do you help set the athlete up for successful return to running? Dr Rich Willy from the University of Montana is here to help.
This week, Matt speaks with runner and professor Stuart Warden about his running, bone health, and how to integrate plyometrics into your training. Dr. Stuart Warden is a Professor of Physical Therapy and the Associate Dean of research in the School of Health and Human Science at Indiana University. Dr. Warden is also the director of the Musculoskeletal Function, Imaging and Tissue (MSK-FIT) Resource Core at Indiana University.

Professor Stuart Warden is an avid runner. Academically and professionally Dr Stuart Warden serves as a Professor of Physical Therapy and the Associate Dean for Research within the Indiana University School of Health & Human Sciences. Professor Stu embarked on a Post Doctorate at the Australian Institute of Sport and Indiana University Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, following graduation from the University of Melbourne with a Physiotherapy Degree in 2001. Professor Warden's research interests focus on the form and function of the musculoskeletal system, in-particular the lifelong contribution of physical activity to skeletal health. Professor Stu has contributed to over 170 peer reviewed publications and currently serves as an Associate Editor for The Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy and also as an Editorial Board Member for Bone, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research and the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport. Professor Stuart Warden alongside colleagues Brent Edwards and Dr Rich Willy released a landmark commentary by way of a scientific paper titled "Preventing Bone Stress Injuries in Runners with Optimal Workload". It was published in February 2021 and it's a must read for any Coach, Athlete or Practitioner working in the field of endurance sports. In this episode we dive deep into its contents: What the author's mean by bone workload Optimal workload to induce skeletal adaptation The fact that not all athletes have good skeletons Why it is that distance running does not build good bones How we can use periodisation to help build more bone The effects of early specialisation with sport and the contribution to bone stress injury risk Why it is that optimising bone structure is critical and how it only develops before puberty How it is that we can positively affect our bone density and bone architecture through loading with multiple direction jumps and why it is only during puberty that this is possible How we can positively increase the robustness of our skeleton through bone centric exercises How we can try and minimise training errors to avoid the onset of a bone stress injury, a stress fracture a stress reaction or similar Show Sponsor: Precision Hydration If you've ever struggled with hydration issues like cramp during long, hot sessions, it's worth checking out precisionhydration.com.

Join us on PT Elevated as JJ Thomas and Kory Zimney talk with Doug Adams, PT, DPT, SCS, OCS, CSCS, a running gait analysis expert, researcher and friend of JJ Thomas. Adams' career started with a background heavy in research from University of Delaware, learning alongside Irene Davis, Richard Willy and Lynn Snyder-Mackler. Doug talks about his struggle with not getting the results that he wanted when he was in residency and at the beginning of his career. There was a moment where he had to realize that he needed guidance from his colleagues to grow as clinician. That pushed him to rely on a process of test-retest to get the best results. Through that learning process, he came to the conclusion that having a systematic approach that is backed by research is more important than finding the perfect systematic approach. There's more than one way to get people better. Here are some of the key takeaways from the conversation: Studies that altered how you treat runners Ability of Sagittal Kinematic Variables to Estimate Ground Reaction Forces and Joint Kinetics in Running A compilation from Google Scholar of Rich Willy's research Key Screens for Every Runner Focus on mobility and motor control Runner Readiness Assessment Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance Test Clinical Pearl: A great drill to help your runners not overstride is marching.

This week on the Run Culture Podcast I chat with Max Paquette a lead Biomechanist and Running researcher from the University of Memphis. He has over 95 research publications and recently along with Chris Napier, Rich Willy and Trent Stellingwerff published a commentary about optimising the way runners monitor training load. Max is a wealth of knowledge, he is a great follow on Twitter for any fellow running nerds out there where he can be found at @biomechmax and I was very fortunate to chat to him today! He is currently also a high school coach, was a good collegiate steeple chaser for Canada and his wife Lauren Paquette is a professional runner for Hoka One One Northern Arizona Elite Running a 15:10 (5000m) and 31:53 (10,000m) this year! A lot of sage advice in this one and perhaps a glimpse of the future of bettering load management. Enjoy!

Is iliotibial band pain a friction problem? Or a load problem? On this week’s BJSM podcast, Dr Rich Willy (T: @rwilly2003) and BJSM’s Daniel Friedman (T: @ddfriedman) discuss the clinical management of iliotibial band pain. Dr. Richard Willy PT, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the School of Physical Therapy, University of Montana (Missoula, MT, USA). He received his PhD in Biomechanics and Movement Science from the University of Delaware and his master of physical therapy from Ohio University. In addition to his research, Dr. Willy has been a clinician for 18 years specialising in the treatment of the injured runner. His research aims to develop clinically effective treatments for patellofemoral pain syndrome, Achilles tendon injuries and tibial stress fractures. In this podcast, Dr Willy discusses: · How to assess the injured runner with ITB pain · Misconceptions about ITB pain – it’s not a friction problem and you need some tightness! · How to progress the rehabilitation in managing ITB pain · Is there a role for stretching and foam rolling? The case study used in this podcast was originally from Pegrum James, Self Alex, Hall Nick. Iliotibial band syndrome BMJ 2019; 364 :l980 https://www.bmj.com/content/364/bmj.l980
It’s super easy for health care providers to tell you to stop running when injured. Thanks to new research by folks like Dr. Rich Willy out of the University of Montana, there is good reason not to stop all together and that is so you do not lose load capacity to tolerate exercise and the strain of running. If you have ever stopped running only to try to start up again and then got hurt again you know exactly what I am talking about. This only becomes more important the older we get. If you need to get in touch with me or have questions feel free to email me brian@company5k.com and as always look forward to having you back here soon.
#Ep.29: "Tips For The Older Runner" with Dr Rich WillyThis is a HUGELY valuable episode for any 40+yrs old runner, plus anyone who works with runners of this age!Many runners know all to well that hitting 40+ years brings changes; pace decreases, recovery takes longer, injury patterns change. The good news is there ARE specific things we can do to minimise the effects of age, plus some of the things we may be worrying about like 'wear & tear on the knees' are not actually true. All this and more will be explained by our very special guest, a leading authority in current running research, Dr. Richard Willy of University of Montana - School of Physical Therapy.When it comes to running research, Dr. Rich Willy is one of the leaders of the pack. With a PhD in Biomechanics and Movement Science and a masters of physical therapy, he has over 18 years clinical experience specializing in the treatment of the injured runner and is currently Assistant Professor in the School of Physical Therapy, University of Montana.As the author of multiple published papers aimed at developing clinically effective treatments for patellofemoral pain syndrome, Achilles tendon injuries and tibial stress fractures, Dr. Willy is a highly respected presenter both nationally & internationally and his research has been featured in Runner’s World multiple times.Though Rich is sadly not able to be a speaker at this year's RCL Running Conference, we're going to do everything we can to get him over next year!

Dr. Rich Willy is one of the world's leading experts in running injuries. Learn why this professor of physical therapy chose to build his career at the University of Montana and how his research can help both clinicians and every day athletes develop strength, stay healthy and keep moving. Rich has some common sense advice that runs counter to many popular narratives about running shoes, injuries, and stretching.
During this episode, Dr. Rich Willy, Physiotherapist and also Running Researcher based out of the University of Montana, USA answers many questions around ageing well as a Runner. Rich shares around why we slow down as we age, the principles that under pin the changes that we see, why our tendons tend to lose stiffness as we age, what happens to our calves as propulsive elements as we mature as runners. Why strength training is such a critical component of the ageing runners training program. How to structure strength training around the week's running volume. Rich answers the age old question, is running bad for our knees? Rich explains why a fast walking pace can be correlated with great longevity in life. And Rich touches on the role of footwear and shoe selection for the ageing or master's runner.

This internationally renowned fashion model has teamed up with Women’s Running Magazine to found Project Start, a collaborative effort to encourage and inspire women to begin their own running journey. She has also launched a size inclusive clothing line for women, Day-Won. While she is termed a “plus -size” model, Huffine is at the helm of models pushing to expand boundaries for curvy models and to eliminate the label “plus” from the fashion vernacular. Candice is a runner and ran the 2017 NYC Marathon. Today’s Guest Candice Huffine is an internationally renowned fashion model. She became the first plus-size woman to be featured in the Pirelli Calendar, a UK Glamour trade calendar. Her A-list work includes being featured in publications such as CR Fashion Book, Italian Vogue (cover), Vogue, W, V Magazine, i-D and Glamour. She has also recently launched a clothing line for the full size range of active women called Day/Won. What you will learn about: How she is living the dream she had as a little girl, despite the fact that she doesn’t have the typical model body type/size. How being slotted into a role as a plus-model, at age 15, allowed her to grow into being a woman with all the curves of a normal woman, and being positive with her body as it is. It was the impetus to grow into a role as a spokesperson for body acceptance. How the body positivity acceptance move is allowing people to feel they are represented. And how it is becoming more acceptable to let our bodies settle where they are meant to be rather than endlessly trying to lose weight to fit into some pre-conceived mold. How she started running in 2015 when her husband dared her to do a half marathon as a part of their annual discussion of their goals for the next year. She first viewed it as just an impossible and unfair dare, but he was so passionate about it she stopped and listened to his reasons. She was inspired by the positive changes in his life when he first took up running, so something in the dare caught her interest. Her first half marathon (NYC half in 2016) was such a learning experience, as she had never trained more than 8 miles and didn’t know what at all to expect. So she psyched herself completely out. But she then used it as a learning experience to move forward. She learned that not only is she susceptible to a dare, but how competitive she could be with herself. It also taught her how important it was to take time for herself to do things that balance you out, and running has been an outlet for that. It has given her time to be meditative and thoughtful. How she found that the running clothing that was available was so uncomfortable and she spent more time adjusting clothing that just didn’t fit her body properly so she spent a bunch of time tugging at things. She decided to found her own brand, Day/Won, launched in the fall of 2017, that made athletic clothing that really fits a woman’s curves and was inclusive across the entire range of sizes. How she used her own brand to stand for causes she felt were important. Inclusivity, sustainability, etc. From giving back to charities, supporting the LGBT community, using recycled materials, making things in the US, digital printing to avoid water waste, and making things to order to save on waste. Inspirational Quotes: There is always someone listening, being self-deprecating can influence someone and you won’t even realize it. We have to break the cycle of the negative things we say to ourselves. If you commit yourself to a goal, other things you want in your life will fall into place. You have to know it is going to be a slow process but suddenly you start to see the progress you have made and how you have achieved the short term goals that make you proud of what you can accomplish. Run because of how it makes you feel, not how it makes you look. So many women of all sizes are out there doing incredible things, it was time we started dressing them. You stand at the sidelines of a race and see people of all ages, shapes, etc. and it is so inspiring. No one should feel on the outside, you should not have to change to fit in. Explaining and apologizing for our bodies is exhausting and frankly has nothing to do with the bigger picture.

Today we chat to the first professional female distance runner, Anne Audain. Anne is from New Zealand and was born with deformities in the bones of her feet. She went on to break down the barriers for women runners and in sport in general. A truly inspiring story of overcoming physical and societal roadblocks to achieve what is possible in your life. She was banned (temporarily) in 1981 for accepting prize money at a track and field event. Anne qualified for the Olympic games 6 times in her career (from 1972 to 1992) and has been inducted into the Running USA Hall of Fame, the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame, and the RRCA Distance Hall of Fame. Today’s Guest Anne Audain was born in New Zealand, adopted as an infant and suffered through her younger years with bone deformities in both her feet. After successful reconstructive bone surgery at age 13, she joined a local athletic club and a remarkable running star was born. Through her career Anne set records and pioneered professional running for women. She has since been inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame, the USA Running Hall of Fame, and honored with a Member of the British Empire Medal from Queen Elizabeth II of England for her contributions to her sport worldwide. What you will learn about: Anne moved to the US thanks to rumors that the US was going to open the longer running distances to women where previously 800/1500 meters were the longest distances women were allowed to run. The difference in running between New Zealand and the US is that NZ is based on the club system vs the school based systems in the US. How she believes the US system burns young runners out. Anne was given up for adoption as an infant as her mother was a teenaged mom. Her adoptive parents noticed that she did not walk properly and she was identified as having a bone deformity similar to large bunions, but the doctors felt she should not be operated on until she was a young teen and her feet were not actively growing as rapidly. The doctors created a leather boot that allowed her to begin to develop the proper walking motion right away. It seemed natural to her when the casts came off to be like the other kids and run with the sports club. She didn’t want to do the field sports because she didn’t want to jump or drop things on her feet so she started running and then kept going finding she was actually good at it. How the bullying she endured as a child and being adopted and viewed as different made her very independent, self-motivated and comfortable with her own company and training alone. She felt she wanted to run as hard as she could herself, and if she got beaten, so be it. So she didn’t run tactically, she just ran as hard as she felt she could each time and had done her very best. If that meant she was competitive, then she was competitive with herself and the clock. How Anne found her birth parents in her 30s and found they had married a year after giving her up as an infant and she had 6 siblings. Her birth family had watched her as a runner and didn’t realize she was their daughter/sister. Her adoptive parents were supportive and her dad had raised her as an observer of sport so she was prepared to participate when her body was ready. How she ran the fastest debut marathon before the first Olympic marathon that allowed women to run but New Zealand still required her to prove herself before allowing her on the team. As a result she had to run only a few months before the Olympics to qualify and then failed to finish at the Olympics as she ended up in the medical tent with dehydration. How she had watched her male counterparts get paid under the table for doing European races but that women got nothing. She heard about a Portland race that Nike was offering prize money to the first ten male and female finishers and went ahead and said she would accept prize money if she qualified. At the time track sport was still an amateur only event, and she was temporarily banned by the NZ Sport Federation when she won and accepted the prize money. She also was in the US on a tourist visa so was not allowed to accept prize money and was eventually deported. She put her trust in the race directors and those who wanted the sport to change and allow prize money. How she won over 75 road races and believes in consistency of training and going back to the same races where she was familiar with the course. It kept her healthy and consistent and made her a lot of money because she could know how to plan her training and how to focus Inspirational Quotes: The key to success is consistency in training and a determination to give it your very best effort every time.

In this episode we talked with the physical therapist Richard Willy. Rich explains what tissue capacity is, what he looks for during a gait analysis, the benefits and pitfalls of 'wearables', and how footwear may fit into the whole picture. He also summarised the key differences between treadmill and overground running, with good take homes for clinicians who analyse their athletes on the treadmill and then extrapolate that to the outside world.
This expert in Biomechanics and a member of the staff at the University of Montana is known as one of the best for a reason. He studies runners and runner injuries with patellofemoral pain, Achilles tendonitis, and tibial stress fractures and is known for helping assist clinicians with diagnosing and preventing common running injuries. Rich is a runner himself and ran cross country and track starting in high school. If you are interested in subjects such as the risk of injury, gait retraining (and can we even change gait longer term?), the helpfulness of wearables , strength training and the importance of recovery, this episode will be of special interest to you. We are back to the science you all love in this episode. Today’s Guest Dr. Richard Willy is an Assistant Professor in the School of Physical Therapy, University of Montana. He received his PhD in Biomechanics and Movement Science from the University of Delaware and his master of physical therapy from Ohio University. In addition to his research, Dr. Willy has been a clinician for 18 years specializing in treatment of the injured runner. What you will learn about: How runners who suffer tendon or stress fractures are significantly more at risk for additional tendon or stress fractures. Part comes from not changing training loads and making the same mistakes over again. How general overall life stress in our lives increases the risk of injury because it impacts sleep and recovery overall. Sleep quality really impacts the risk of stress fractures. How a Clinician can work with runners to change their biomechanics (stride, cadence, etc) and how much practice it takes in order to make those changes the norm for the runner. How the runner needs to become bodily aware of what the change should feel like. But, should you even bother to change your gait or is there something else you can do to make your body more durable and lower your injury risk that is more effective? The importance of cadence and whether there really is any magic to the oft touted 180 steps per minute. Can you trust the cadence reported by your running watch? How stress fractures may need a team of specialists to lower their risk, including Physical Therapists, Strength Coaches and Registered Dietitians. How runners lie to themselves about where they are physically in terms of their training volume. How we push too hard after a race to improve or try to return to “where we were” too quickly after injury. The largest risk is in the 3rd work after comeback because that is where the body really starts to break down from accumulated stresses. Strength training is instrumental in tendon health and durability. And it needs to be heavier weights, not low weight/high rep modes. Endurance training mitigates the tendency to increase muscle mass but instead helps focus the change on tendon health and strength vs bulking up muscles. Plyometrics can also help with tendon strength and stiffness but at the end of the day strength training gives a bigger bang for the buck. Hip strength is important but won’t change how you are moving. The process of getting stronger is what is more important and hip strengthening and quadriceps strength seems to best help protect the knees. Calf raises are also important as a large percentage of our overall propulsion comes from the calf. Wearables are a double edged sword that provide us with some useful info but we also get caught up in the social media aspects and trying to do too much based on our fitness levels because we are competing with our friends vs focusing on our readiness. Where a wearable can help is providing the data needed to review their running history and where something might have changed that caused an injury in terms of volume or terrain. Heart rate can help with keeping runs easier but as we get dehydrated our bodies have to increase the heart rate in order to push the blood volume so it can be a bit misleading. Chest straps are more reliable right now than wrist based still. Distance, cadence, vertical oscillation, all seem to be pretty accurate and others not so much. But clinically many of those measures don’t mean anything in terms of our running health. It is important to track things over time but as predictive measures we still really don’t know enough to make that data of much use. Inspirational Quotes: Mix things up. Don’t run the same pace or the same route or the same terrain all of the time. Do some speed sessions, trail runs, run with different groups to make your body adapt. Especially as we age, it it important to keep the breadth of running modes in your plans. Your perceived exertion is more important than any other measure. We don’t get faster running every run as a tempo run.

Today’s interview is with Max Paquette, who specializes in biomechanics and is considered an expert in running shoes. We move back to a more scientific look at running with this episode, because I know many many runners have an interest in how their biomechanics influences their racing and running. His interest started off in high school doing a project where he video taped runners. He quickly admits he knew nothing, and thinks that even with the more he studies the less he thinks we know about what makes us have good running form. We discuss the reality of the amount of information that is out there and how best to separate what is good and bad information. Max provides the names of several resources he thinks are the best to consult based on their research. Our discussion today covers popular and controversial topics such as over-pronation, cadence, forefoot vs mid-foot vs heel striking and the impact on running injuries. We then go on to discuss whether running is bad for your knees and causes arthritis. We go over the research on whether the shoe type really matters in injury prevention. We then spend some time on the last myth of biomechanics - whether strength training really make a difference? Lastly we discuss the importance of tools for runners. Ultimately the best tool for runners is to learn to run by feel not by Garmin. Having a better perception of what your body is feeling is far more important. Today’s Guest Dr. Max Paquette has a PhD in biomechanics and is an Assistant Professor at the University of Memphis. His focus is on the effects of exercise interventions and gait modifications on joint mechanics, function and quality of life in aging and knee osteoarthritis populations. He is also interested in the effects of different footwear, fatigue, foot strike patterns and training interventions in runners on injury and performance. He resides in Memphis with his wife Lauren and two dogs. What you will learn about: How he thinks Alex Hutchinson is one of the experts we should pay attention to, because he does great research into his topics and is a great writer who disseminates . Others he believes do a great job of disseminating complicated information are Tom Goom (Twitter @tomgoom), Rich Willy (twitter @rwilly2003), JF Esculier at University of British Columbia (Twitter @JFEsculier), and Irene Davis (@IreneSDavis) We discuss how over-pronation used to be thought of as the cause of lower leg injuries, but how his research has found that it doesn’t drive injuries. How quickly the vertical ground reaction force is transferred (impact of the ground into your foot) is also not linked to injury. What is more predictive is how quickly you add load vs more gradual increases. We talk about how we rarely study those rare specimens that don’t get hurt, we study the hurt runners. We need to shift the focus to why some don’t get hurt. The lower limbs are the most likely to first be injured, then higher up the chain. The external loads are applied to the foot first, then up the chain. But if those parts of the body are conditioned to adapt to that force, the risk of injury goes down. Up the chain, especially in females, there are other nutritional and hormonal issues that impact bone health, and folks like Trent Stellingwerff and Adam Tenford (Harvard) have done more work on female athletes and bone issues. Chris Napier (@runnerphysio) is doing some interesting work on over-striding/step length, cadence and step length/reach (how far ahead of your pelvis) impact injury risk. It is physically impossible to precisely land under your hips, you are always hitting a bit ahead which is important to store elastic energy. But it isn’t clear how much is too much. There are different permutation on how you run that impact the loads and it is not simple to determine which one is most critical. Rich Willy and John Wilson’s gait retraining studies have shown that increasing cadence (steps per minute) seems to work well at lessening injury if you find you are over-reaching and if you are suffering from lower leg issues. But if you are not getting injured perhaps you are not really overstriding. Osteoarthritic issues: Lack of exercise is far worse than using the joints. The evidence is becoming really strong that running is not bad for your knees, and may actually be helpful with preventing the onset of the disease. Recent research is showing that even with those that have OA, some running may well be better than being sedentary. (did he send you info for the show notes?) Footwear for runners: The main conclusion of his study in 2009-2013, which was males only and highly trained runners, was the only time that the shoe mattered was in heal strikers that ran barefoot or in minimalist shoes. Forefoot strikers it just didn’t matter. But we didn’t study long term effects. Irene Davis then studied untrained runners of both sexes and concluded that it mattered more in the types of shoes people were used to running in. So if they were used to running barefoot or in minimalist shoes there was not an issue. If you are going to change shoes, you should have a good reason to change and have tried other methods first to reduce injury, not just because there is some cool new shoe. Proper training and progression come first. Ultimately it all seems to come out even in the end, no shoe ultimately matters. Benno Nigg, Univ of Calgary, has found in his research that shoes and inserts don’t matter. Rotating shoes (any shoes), surfaces and routes may be much more critical to injury prevention. Coaching his wife Lauren really showed the value of strength training in injury prevention. Learn to listen to how you feel not vs what your watch or heart rate monitor is telling you. If you body is saying it is too hard, then for that day it is too hard. Tomorrow it may not be as hard, each day is different. Inspirational Quotes: The more we learn the less we find we really know about running injuries. In the end it all comes down to the strength of your body.

Davis, PhD, PT, FACSM, FAPTA Ohio University June 1999 Master of Physical Therapy Ohio University June 1997 Bachelor of Sport Science, Exercise Physiology Research Interests 1) Develop clinically-relevant evaluation and intervention strategies to reduce risk of lower extremity injury in at-risk individuals during activities with and without load carriage. Ideally, evaluation and interventions can be performed in-field to maximize ecological validity while minimizing training disruption. Key populations of interest include runners and tactical athletes. 2) Address aberrant movement strategies and musculoskeletal properties that may place individuals at risk for impaired gait performance and the eventual development of knee osteoarthritis. Specifically, individuals who are post-partial meniscectomy or post-Achilles tendon rupture the subject of this research focus. This focus aims to improve musculoskeletal function to maximize physical activity levels across the lifespan.

How can you identify the most important factors involved in your patients running injuries? During your rehabilitation of runners, which is most important to address - load, gait pattern, strength, foot strike, pelvic position, footwear, range of movement or other factors? I wanted to discuss and debate these issues with a number of Physiotherapists that treat and research running injuries, so I have a very different format for you on this episode of the Physio Edge podcast - a group podcast. On this podcast, we have Tom Goom, Greg Lehman and Dr Christian Barton all in one virtual room discussing and debating the merits of the various approaches to running injuries. In this episode of the Physio Edge podcast David Pope and the group discuss: When is it ok for your runners to continue running, and when do they need to stop Common myths around running retraining When is it important to change your patients foot strike? Which patient presentations and pathologies will be assisted with running retraining? How can you identify a suitable running load during rehab How can you incorporate running retraining into your rehab Which areas are important to running assessment How can you manage training load strength and conditioning When are plyometrics appropriate during rehabilitation Other factors that impact injury prognosis and duration What advice can you give new runners Which footwear should runners wear?

Helping our running patients recover and return to running following injury is our primary rehab priority, however we may also have the opportunity to help improve their running performance. Runners are often motivated by improving their speed, performance and times, and incorporating these goals into their rehab can increase motivation and exercise compliance. How then can we help our patients to improve their performance when returning from an injury? Find out in this episode of the Physio Edge podcast with Tom Goom. You will also discover: Why consider performance? How might we assess performance in a more scientific way? What are the benefits of performance tests? How can we link it to other aspects e.g. gait analysis? How does performance influence training structure and progression? How do we optimise performance in injured athletes?

Identifying how much running each of your patients can perform (their load capacity) during their rehabilitation is a skill. This podcast will help you develop your load management skills, and know how much running your individual patients should perform at each stage of their rehabilitation. In this podcast with Tom Goom, you will discover: What is load capacity? How do we identify your patient’s running capacity? How are your patient’s progressing in their rehabilitation, relative to where they want to be? How can you identify what your patients goals are, so that you can help tie this into a rehab program? What questions can you ask your patients to assess load capacity and identify the right amount of load? What objective tests can you use to help identify your patient’s load capacity? How should you adapt your testing with different pathology? What tests can you perform to identify your patient’s load capacity if your patient has an Achilles Tendinopathy? What measures can we use to identify your patient’s running performance? This podcast is the first in a series of podcasts over the next few months with Tom Goom, where we will help to develop your assessment and treatment skills, while improving your results with runners.
