See you in 2025!

In the intro to this episode we discuss our thoughts on the HCPC hearing Adam Meakins is currently going through, Jeff makes a bet that he won't swear for the remainder of the episode and James leads a conversation on a patient with shoulder pain that wasn't improving with rehabilitation!

This paper has made a huge splash and influenced so many physios treatments. So naturally we need to dive into it a bit deeper to see what it actually shows.

Jeff has beef (surprise), James googles more things.

You may have seen all the recent hype around Ozempic and other "miracle" Semaglutide medications for weight loss in the recent months...

But what is the clinical utility of these for OA??

We explore the new 2024 paper

"Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Persons with Obesity and Knee Osteoarthritis by Bliddal et al"

James tries not to get sued

Jeff mobs a hip

It's time for another case study!

James compliments Jeff.

Also, we discuss Messier et al (2021) which compared an 18 month long high and low intensity exercise compared to an attention control in people with knee osteoarthritis... the results of which may surprise you!

*Regarding discussion on strength, the 3Nm/kg statistic we talked about is for isometric testing so strictly is not right to compare to 30 degrees/second isokinetic... but the message still stands!

We sit down to discuss a golden oldie from the research base. The study that gave us the straight leg raise and an insight into how the thinking around radicular pain developed!

We use this as a jumping off point before discussing different types of nerve root problems and how we think about them clinically.
