June 14, 2023 037 - Low Dose Exercises for Highly Reactive Plantar Fasciopathy
In this episode we explore The Windlass Test and how clinicians can get more 'bang for buck' with the information this test can provide.
Many clinicians may utilise objective tests to identify what pathology they may be dealing with.
However, many stumble when it comes to figuring out the selection and timing of the therapeutic interventions that may be beneficial to aid their client's recovery.
In this episode we explore how we can use the information gathered from performing the Windlass Test to select exercises that may better align with an individual's load-tolerating capacity.
ie: prescribing for a PERSON with a pathology, as opposed to simply prescribing for a pathology.

Foot orthoses - where do they fit into your clinical management?
Does everyone need orthoses? No
Do those who are prescribed orthoses need them for life? It depends...
What should we consider if we are to make appropriate recommendations & management plans for our patients?

In this episode Podiatrists Talysha & Jackson explore some elements of orthotic prescription that are often equally important (if not more) to the script itself.

April 19, 2023 034 - Post-Graduate Study - is it worth it?
In this extended episode Talysha & Jackson talk about their experiences of undertaking post-graduate university studies, and share some insights to consider when deciding if formal post-graduate education is for you.
Some of the questions & considerations discussed are:
- Get real about your ability to engage in self-directed learning.
- Return on investment - will the time, money & effort yield the results that you're after?
- CPD activities vs formal education, pros and cons of both - and what may be more suited to your goals.

March 12, 2023 032 - Using VAS & RPE in Rehabilitation
In this episode Talysha & Jackson give clinicians an insight into utilising the VAS (Visual Analog Scale - of Pain) & RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion), to help your clients dose their rehabilitation exercises.
The inverse relationship is very important for progressively loading tissue, to increase the load-tolerating capacity & restore function.
That is, as pain/reactivity decreases, applied load & complexity can increase.
By utilising the VAS - RPE we can help decrease the likelihood of a client 'over dosing' their rehabilitation exercises, leading to an injury flare.
