The Sports Physical Therapy Podcast

Persistent weakness and lack of volitional muscle control are huge problems after injury and surgery. It’s not uncommon after major surgeries, like ACL reconstruction, to have chronic weakness and asymmetry in strength.

In this episode, I talk to Dave Sherman about a recent research study he published looking at why this may happen, and then what we can do about it as clinicians.

Return to sport has been a hot topic in sports medicine recently. Studies continue to show that reinjury rates can be high, and athletes do not always return to previous levels of performance.

In this episode, I talk with Pete Draovitch of the Jacksonville Jaguars about his approach to return to sport, which he has published and calls the Return to Sport Clearance Continuum.

Our understanding of tendinopathies continues to evolve. Once seen as an inflammatory process that was challenging to treat and resolve, we’re now understanding more of the biological process behind tendinopathies.

As our understanding of the biological process improves, so does our treatment approach.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dan Pope to discuss the current concepts in the diagnosis and treatment of patellar tendinopathy.

Hip pain is common in athletes, especially in sports like ice hockey.

Nonarthritic hip pain encompasses a variety of intra-articular diagnoses that are often seen in these athletes that are not related directly to osteoarthritis. These include dysplasia, bony changes, femoroacetabular impingement, labral tears, and more.

A recent clinical practice guideline on this topic was published in JOSPT to help guide us. In this episode, I talk to the lead author, Keelan Enseki, about the findings of the CPG.

Standardized testing is commonly performed in the health and performance world to determine baselines, monitor performance, or help return an athlete to sport.

The lower extremity has received most of the attention, but the ASH Test, or Athletic Shoulder Test, popularized by Ben Ashworth, is a great option for the upper extremity.

In this episode, I talk to Ben about the ASH test and how to best use it for both rehabilitation and performance.

We know that after a lower extremity injury like an ACL tear, there are often joint-related symptoms such as swelling, loss of motion, and instability. But as we learn more about these injuries, there appear to be several neuromuscular consequences as well.

In this episode, I talk to Terry Grindstaff from Creighton University about his research into these neuromuscular consequences after an ACL injury, and how this could impact our initial rehabilitation, return to sport progressions, and even long-term consequences years down the road.

Each sport has it’s own unique considerations when it comes to performance enhancement and injury management. Ice hockey is one of the more unique sports, as skating is a lot different than the demands of field or court sports!

On this episode, I’m joined by Kevin Neeld, the Head Performance Coach for the Boston Bruins, and one of the leading strength coaches when it comes to working with hockey players. We’re going to talk about the role of a strength coach in the NHL and some of the unique considerations when working with hockey players.
