In this episode we discuss Chronic Ankle Instability and ankle sprains! Unfortunately, only 50% of ankle sprains are treated with medical intervention and even less by PTs. This can lead to dysfunctions in the patient and potentially future reinjury or something even more traumatic. As a result their is an 80% reinjury rate!!! We (the medical society) have to do better than that!

We dive into how a joint can be "unstable" but stiff or lacking mobility and how that can impact progress/performance of the patient. We discuss evidence based evaluation and treatment techniques to get our patients better faster! Check out our video for the research articles we reference and manual therapy techniques we use to restore normal mobility!

Clinical Chat Begins at 2:40

Tennis Elbow or formerly known as lateral epicondylitis and more recently known as lateral epicondyalgia is something we all treat or know someone who has been suffering from it. The old way of treating it with tons of soft tissue work and eccentrics can be effective but takes way to much time and is often uncomfortable (higher drop-out for clients).

We need to advance our game and figure out what is actually causing chronic overuse/aggravation of the common extensor group and better ways to modulate/decrease the pain. We discuss regional interdependence, neural dynamics, and exercises other than just eccentrics!

Clinical chat begins at 3:15

In this episode we discuss building foundations/principles vs learning a bunch of methods/techniques. With how easy information is to access online we are seeing our young clinicians invest heavily into techniques but minimally into differential diagnosing or ability to examine. Once you learn the principles you can evolve and adapt these techniques to better apply to your patients. Learn how to find out what is really going on with the patient and you won't need as many techniques and as a result improved efficiency!

Clinical banter starts at 4:45

The sticky frozen shoulder! The diagnosis a lot of clinicians dread as the progress can be slow..if not treated the right way. We discuss how it is commonly misdiagnosed/mistreated and the infamous phases/stages. We talk about how we examine and determine if it is AC, regional interdependence/manual therapy and how we take a condition that takes "years" to resolve and make significant impact immediately. Watch the video for the research we reference and the highly effective manual therapy you can implement! Cheers everyone 🍻!

You may be in need of some mentoring! 🤯. In this episode we discuss where we have been up to the last couple months, how mentorship impacted us and pearls of wisdom from the leaders of Orthopedic Manual Therapy who we got to spend time with at AAOMPT Conference in Orlando in October. Also stay tuned to the end to see how you can get a very first Manips and Sips 👕 !

This time we discuss the infamous Plantar Fasciitis! 🦶A common, reoccurring pain in the heel/foot that leaves our runners missing out on races, our high heel workers out of work and everyone in between cursing their own feet off. We discuss our evolution in how examine (our differential diagnosing because it’s not always PF) and treat individuals with PF and strategies to achieve resolution once and for all!

.

We also talk about Dr. Boyd’s favorite manip aka the CuBoyd Whip!!

In this episode we discuss a ton on the foot/ankle from evaluation, forefoot/rear foot, opinions on orthotics, manual therapy, our treatment strategies and much more! We discuss our evolution from how we looked at things at entry level to where we are now!

The infamous ITB Syndrome! In this episode we discuss where we are now in regards to evaluating and treating this condition that limits so many of our runners, and active clientele. We still have clients and clinicians “stretching” the ITB and not getting very far, it’s time we change how we think and treat! Cheers everyone 🍻!

Episode 16: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. In this episode we discuss the lovely umbrella term of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) which plagues so many of our young athletes. We discuss our previous experiences with it, ways to differential diagnose between other anterior knee pain conditions (SLJ, Osgood, Patellar Tendinopathy), and how we approach these clients today. Cheers everyone 🍻!

Episode 15: The Sacroiliac Joint. In this episode we piggyback off episode 14 about low back pain and discuss the controversial SIJ! We talk about how we progressed through our careers in examining and treating the SIJ. Some clinicians believe it is essential to "correct" the SIJ and others do not believe it exists at all, we give our viewpoints on both ideologies!
