There are a lot of amazing stories out there about the Apple Watch. It's a successful wearable, it upended Fitbit, it has saved lives by detecting falls and irregular heartbeats. In this Untold Physio Stories, our special guest recounts how the Apple Watch caused an injury.

On this episode, Andrew talks about a PT colleague with recent onset of TMJ pain after hiking. What was the novel solution this time? One that you wouldn't guess! Check out Andrew and Erson's new online mentoring group at Modern Rehab Mastery! 

In this story, Erson recounts trying it "his way" with a hamstring strain on an otherwise healthy young athlete. After getting little results with increase in function after light soft tissue work for a few weeks, his intern politely asked for a change on the patient's behalf.

Normally, a patient sees their primary, primary refers to specialist, and specialist orders a plethora of scans/testing that leads to fear avoidance. The combination of this, patient experience, their support system, maladaptive beliefs, and good ol' Dr. Google usually lead to worse outcomes than if the patient did not receive the scans. Listen in to this pair of stories where Erson sees a few patients where the scans actually caused placebo instead of nocebo.

A rare win for show host Andrew. A patient after shoulder trauma and other ecosystem stressors developed arm and hand thoracic outlet like complaints. After trying several other conventional and unconventional treatments, he settles on mindfulness. Check out his course at modpatientedu.com/online - to learn more about integrating mindfulness, nutrition, sleep/recovery, pain science, and movement into your practice!
