The knee with David Leicher - a Physio's perspective

In this episode we chat with Sports Physio David Leicher about rehabilitation of the knee. Question topics include the ACL, patellofemoral pain syndrome, patella dislocations, and a lot more.

In this episode we chat all about pain with Romy. Conversation topics include what pain is, up-to-date terminology of pain (nociplastic vs chronic), the placebo effect/meaning response and the ethics of using it therapeutically, clinical communication, and who is at risk for developing chronic pain, and a lot more!

In this episode Marnin answers all our questions about pain. Some of those questions include the relationship between pain and tissue damage, the difference between pain and nociception, why it's important for clinicians to understand the science of pain, and what the new term 'nociplastic pain' means. Also Marnin tells us what we can expect from his papers that will be published soon

In this episode we with chat with Dr Joanne Kemp about hip pain, and more specifically about femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). We discuss the pathophysiology and morphology, diagnostic criteria, radiographic findings, surgical options, and conservative management best practice. Dr Kemp is a Sports Physiotherapist and Senior Research Fellow at Latrobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, Australia.
