February 09, 2025 Ep. 22 - Jared Powell (@shoulder_physio) on Causation, Complexity and Shoulder Pain
This week we have a great discussion with Dr. Jared Powell on all things relating to dispositional causation and how this relates to positive clinical improvements in people with shoulder pain (but this could be extended to most MSK pain really!)
These complex topics are broken down into very digestible soundbites and we think this episode is a must listen, and probably one to revisit in the future!

February 02, 2025 Ep. 21 - Corticosteroids for Achilles Tendinopathy?
Would you have ever considered injection someone with mid-portion achilles tendinopathy 3 times in the space of 12 weeks? Johanssen et al (2022) did in todays paper and the results might surprise you!

This is the closest we have come on having genuinely different views on a paper and was a fun conversation!

January 19, 2025 Debate #1 - Should Imaging Be Done To Reassure?
Should we be ordering imaging for patients when it won't change management, but it is perceived (sometimes wrongly?) that it could help their health anxiety?
This is a clinically grey area, and one we have tried to tackle in the absence of any strong direction from the literature. Jeff and James take opposite sides in the debate initially before settling into what we think good practice looks like.
This was a difficult topic to use as our first debate format, but we hope it is interesting! Please use the comment section to add any thoughts you have on this!
