Rotator cuff repair surgery is one of the most common procedures in physical therapy, yet the recommended postoperative guidelines vary significantly.

In this episode, we discuss some of the science behind delaying range of motion after rotator cuff repair surgery.

Our understanding of SLAP tears, or superior labral tears of the shoulder, continues to evolve. In the past, we often rushed to surgical repair of a SLAP lesion, but now we understand that not all SLAP tears need to be repaired. In fact, repairing some types of SLAP tears in the wrong person could make them worse!
In this episode we talk about the difference between a “good” SLAP tear and a “bad” SLAP tear.

After an injury, we often work on strength and power, but we must also work on producing force as quickly as possible to benefit athletes.
In this episode, we discuss how to measure RFD and how to incorporate it into the rehabilitation process for an injured athlete.

The future of ACL reconstruction and repair is evolving. One of the newer techniques to try to repair the native ACL ligament rather than needing a graft is using a bridge enhancement. This is called the BEAR technique for Bridge-Enhanced ACL Repair.
This procedure has specific indications, contraindications, and rehabilitation guidelines.
In this episode, we discuss this procedure and the difference in rehabilitation between the BEAR technique and a traditional ACL reconstruction.

One of the areas that physical therapists often report feeling a lack of confidence is building a return to running program after an injury or surgery.
There are a few things to consider, such as the type of athlete and what their goals are in the long run. But in general, a slow and gradual progression is often best.
Here are the factors we consider and how we build our return to running programs.
