Untold Physio Stories

A rare Untold Physio Stories Sequel! As our listeners know, Jason doesn’t care about your scans or what some other bad news you may have received from well meaning clinicians. Did it back fire on him this time? Listen in to find out.

Our first physical therapist student story on the podcast! Listen in to a treatment story, that based on almost everything Erson teaches, shouldn’t have worked, but does!

One of Erson’s first run ins with severe fear avoidance – way before Pain Science Education was even a thing. How does he deal with a patient with history of recurrent patellar dislocation who hasn’t bent her knee in months?

What happens when the clinician is injured?  Listen in this week when co-host Jason Shaneshares his story of when he did a Grade 2-3 sprain of his thumb and how he rehabilitated it back to full function.

Graded Exposure is a well researched method for returning patients function. It may be a tough sell for patients in persistent pain. Sometimes even using the best approach does have the intended results.

Have you ever had a patient that has always responded to treatment?  What happens when that same patient stops responding to treatment?  Listen in to Dr. E’s story to find out.

What happens when the therapist has an injury?  Listen in to Jason sharing his story of how he treated himself for Achilles tendonitis.

A good question to ask at the end of your evaluation is, “Anything else you want to add?” You can further specify, medically, healthwise, or prior injuries or conditions that you do not think are related but may be. See what happens when Erson forgets to ask one of his favorite questions to cap off the patient history.

Are you runner or have you ever worked with a runner with knee pain? Was it due to their hip, knee, how about their foot? Listen in to Dr. E’s story of the importance of examining the whole leg. And, a shout out to one of our listeners, Curtis Tait.

You Don’t Have Hip Bursitis – Have you ever had a patient come in with a referral form to treat hip bursitis? Should we still be using this as a diagnosis? Does anyone ever actually get hip bursitis? Listen in to find out more.
