Shaffer regarding his recent 2022 AAOMPT Conference keynote address titled, “The Junk Drawer,” where he spoke about the dangers of meta-analyzing heterogenous information that does not reflect clinical practice. This episode contains information that will be interesting for practitioners who want to improve both their ability to critically appraise manual therapy literature, as well as understand the important distinction between placebo, placebo effect, and sham treatment.
