172. Shoulder pain assessment & clinical reasoning. Physio Edge Shoulder Success podcast with Jo Gibson 07/16/2025

172. Shoulder pain assessment & clinical reasoning. Physio Edge Shoulder Success podcast with Jo Gibson Your patient presents with shoulder pain, and straight away you need to identify: Is it rotator cuff related shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, instability, or something else entirely? Is it rotator cuff related shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, instability, or something else entirely? Is the pain actually coming from the shoulder? Could it be the cervical spine? Is there a tear that needs urgent referral? Should you order imaging? Refer to a surgeon? Or confidently continue with rehab? In this podcast, Jo Gibson (Upper Limb Rehabilitation Specialist Physio) guides you through a simple, evidence-informed clinical reasoning framework to help you confidently assess and treat patients with shoulder pain. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and the latest research, Jo breaks down four essential questions you need to ask in every shoulder assessment—helping you identify red flags, tailor your treatment plan, and avoid common diagnostic pitfalls. In this episode, you’ll discover: How to distinguish shoulder pain from cervical spine referral Key subjective clues that guide your diagnosis and treatment decisions Whether it’s “torn”—and how to know if a surgical referral is appropriate Clinical signs that help differentiate frozen shoulder from other causes of stiffness Why pain irritability matters—and how it impacts your rehab approach When to use (and when to avoid) imaging How to identify instability and assess the likelihood of recurrence What assessment tests to perform in your objective examination The real value—and limitations—of special tests like the Hawkins-Kennedy, drop arm, Hornblower’s, and more. How to modify testing to better isolate rotator cuff contributions Why symptom modification tests are useful—and what they tell you How to help your patient overcome fear, regain confidence, and move again What research says about exercise prescription, and how many exercises you should give patients Listen in to strengthen your clinical reasoning and give your shoulder assessments a clear structure that helps you feel more confident—and gets better outcomes for your patients.

171. Achilles tendon ruptures: Rehab & recovery with Prof. Peter Malliaras 07/08/2025

171. Achilles tendon ruptures: Rehab & recovery with Prof. Peter Malliaras Your patient is running, playing sport, or jumping or lunging forward - an activity with fast eccentric or concentric activity in dorsiflexion,and suddenly they feel like they’ve been kicked in the back of the leg. They might hear a snap and have difficulty weightbearing, walking and pushing off. What’s your likely diagnosis? You picked it - an Achilles tendon (AT) rupture. AT ruptures are a devastating injury that can drastically impact a patient’s ability to walk, run, or return to sport. Despite their frequency, there’s a lot of uncertainty among clinicians, patients, and even surgeons around how to best assess, treat, and rehabilitate Achilles tendon ruptures. Patients are often fearful of doing the wrong thing and re-rupturing the tendon. Therapists often follow a non-surgical protocol of putting people in a boot, but are unsure how to progress, how fast to progress and what to do during and after they’re in the boot. An even bigger problem than AT re-rupture is the very common issue of an elongated tendon where patients have long-term difficulty with calf weakness and inefficiency, walking long distances, hopping, jumping, and returning to sport. In this podcast, David Pope (APA Titled Musculoskeletal and Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist) is joined by Prof. Peter Malliaras (Specialist Physiotherapist FACP, clinician and researcher with a PhD in tendinopathy) to explore the latest evidence, clinical insights, and rehab strategies for Achilles tendon ruptures. Peter draws on his extensive clinical experience, recent research, and the development of a specialist Achilles rupture service at OrthoSport Victoria to help guide your decision-making and treatment approach. In this podcast, you’ll discover: The mechanism of injury and clinical presentation of Achilles tendon ruptures. Key diagnostic tests and how to avoid missed or delayed diagnoses. Common pitfalls that lead to tendon elongation—and how to prevent them. When to recommend surgical vs non-surgical management. A new, innovative approach to strengthening the Achilles tendon while the patient is in the boot. How to safely begin loading the Achilles in the early phase of rehab. Strategies to protect against tendon elongation during and after boot use. Whether we should be stretching or trying to improve dorsiflexion. Objective strength criteria to guide progression through rehab stages. Return-to-walking and return-to-sport timeframes—and how to individualise them. What to do when patients present late or have already developed elongation. Complications to watch for post-injury or post-surgery. How to help patients navigate the psychological and motivational challenges of recovery. Listen to this episode to gain clarity on Achilles tendon rupture assessment and rehab, and develop a structured, evidence-based approach you can apply immediately in your clinical practice.

168. How to explain shoulder pain to patients. Physio Edge Shoulder Success podcast with Jo Gibson 02/20/2025

168. How to explain shoulder pain to patients. Physio Edge Shoulder Success podcast with Jo Gibson How do the terms we use influence a patient’s understanding of their shoulder pain, their recovery expectations, and even their treatment choices? In this episode of the Physio Edge Shoulder Success Podcast, Jo Gibson (Upper Limb Rehabilitation Specialist Physio), explores the power of language in physiotherapy and how our explanations can either support or hinder a patient’s progress. Drawing on research and real-world clinical experience, Jo discusses a compelling case study: Persistent shoulder pain after multiple treatments – A patient with years of ongoing pain, failed surgeries, and various diagnoses struggles to make sense of their condition. Despite normal imaging, they avoid activity and seek repeated treatments, caught in a cycle of fear and uncertainty. Jo unpacks key questions around patient communication: How do diagnostic labels like "impingement" or "rotator cuff tear" shape patient beliefs? Why do patients often focus on the most negative aspects of their diagnosis? How can we explain shoulder pain in a way that reassures rather than reinforces fear? You’ll also gain practical strategies to: Explore what patients understand about their diagnosis and how it influences their behavior. Use language that encourages confidence and movement rather than avoidance. Identify non-verbal cues that indicate uncertainty or distress in your patients. With evidence-based insights and actionable communication tips, this episode will help you refine your patient interactions and improve rehabilitation outcomes.

167. Bones, them strong bones: How to use bone loading programs. Physio Edge Running repairs podcast with Tom Goom 11/29/2024

167. Bones, them strong bones: How to use bone loading programs. Physio Edge Running repairs podcast with Tom Goom Bone strength and density are vital in your running and sporting patients who can experience bone stress injuries (BSI’s), and also as patients get older and more vulnerable to falls and fractures. How can you improve bone strength in patients following a bone stress injury such as Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome or stress fractures, or in other patients that you’d like to improve bone density or strength? Traditional approaches to strength and conditioning may not always address the needs of your patients recovering from bone stress injuries. That’s where bone loading programs come in—a targeted strategy to help prepare bones for impact, improve power, and support a return to sport. In this episode, Tom Goom (Running Physio) dives into the research and how to use a bone loading program to stimulate bone adaptation. In this podcast, you’ll discover: The theory and evidence behind bone loading programs and how bones respond to impact. How to identify the right stage of injury recovery for introducing impact training. Practical guidelines for implementing short, progressive bone loading exercises. Techniques for progressing exercises based on patient goals and symptoms. Strategies to improve bone strength in patients experiencing other musculoskeletal issues such as Achilles tendinopathy. Real-world applications and demonstrations of bone loading programs. Tom also shares insights on identifying readiness for impact exercises, managing patient expectations, and adjusting programs for individual needs. You’ll leave this episode equipped with actionable strategies to help patients safely and effectively return to sport while supporting their bone health.

166. To tape or not to tape? Physio Edge Shoulder Success podcast with Jo Gibson Taping: does it really help patients with shoulder pain, or is it just a brightly coloured placebo? In this thought-provoking episode of the Physio Edge Shoulder Success Podcast, Jo Gibson, upper limb rehab specialist at Rehab for Performance, unpacks the complexities of taping in shoulder rehabilitation. Drawing from the latest evidence and her extensive experience with shoulder pain, Jo shares two compelling case studies and whether taping was useful in the treatment of: Volleyball player post-stabilisation surgery – Despite passing all return-to-play criteria, this patient struggled with fear of re-injury in specific positions. C/Sp referred shoulder pain – Severe neck and shoulder pain with difficulty sleeping left this patient guarding every movement. Learn whether taping played a role in this patient’s rehab. Jo examines the evidence behind taping, addressing key questions: Does tape improve biomechanics, or are the effects purely psychological? How do sensory input and contextual factors influence patient outcomes? Can taping be a useful temporary tool, or is it overrated? You’ll also gain insights into: The importance of clinical reasoning when choosing adjuncts like taping. How to manage patient beliefs and expectations around interventions. Practical applications of taping to improve confidence and support movement strategies. With a blend of evidence, clinical expertise, and practical examples, this episode offers a balanced view on the role of taping in physiotherapy.

163. ACL treatment options and cross-bracing with Clare Walsh 04/17/2024

163. ACL treatment options and cross-bracing with Clare Walsh ACL injuries result in significant time away from sport and distress for patients. The variety of management options, from surgical intervention to non-surgical management and rehabilitation protocols, often makes us uncertain when educating and helping patients choose the most appropriate care for their needs and goals. Recently, a new non-operative ACL injury management pathway called the “Cross bracing protocol” has been pioneered and developed by Dr Tom Cross and Tom’s father (the late Orthopaedic surgeon) Dr Merv Cross. This protocol offers a promising alternative for patients with ACL injuries who are suitable for non-surgical intervention, where the ACL injury may heal or repair itself. Not all patients with an ACL injury are suitable for the Cross bracing protocol or non-surgical management, so how can you identify whether your patient is suitable, and which treatment options are best for each patient? In this insightful podcast episode, we discuss the complex challenge of ACL injury management and Cross bracing with Clare Walsh (Specialist Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist, FACP). Clare treats a lot of patients with ACL injuries with prehabilitation, post-op rehabilitation, or non-surgical management including Cross bracing. Clare works alongside Dr Tom Cross and other Sports Medicine Doctors, Orthopaedic surgeons (including the late Dr Merv Cross) and leading Sports Physiotherapists at and . Clare teaches on the Cross bracing course conducted in Australia for Physiotherapists and health professionals, and is a Senior Educator & Presenter here at Clinical Edge. In this podcast we explore: Cross bracing What it is and how it developed. What research has been performed to date, and what it shows about the chances of ACL healing with the Cross bracing protocol. Assessment tests & specific imaging that are used to assess patient suitability. Why patients might opt for Cross bracing rather than surgery. Who isn’t suitable for Cross bracing. Potential negative outcomes of Cross bracing. Which patients are more likely to be suitable and successful with Cross bracing - eg. injury type, age, level of sport, goals, psychosocial factors. Medical factors that impact suitability. Psychosocial factors that impact whether a patient can undergo the protocol. Which leg (right or left) is better suited to bracing and why. Which type of braces are commonly used. How soon the protocol needs to commence after injury to be successful. Which concomitant injuries can still heal in a brace and which need surgery e.g. meniscus injuries, bucket handle tears of the meniscus, MCL tears. How long patients remain in a brace. Exercises and activities that can and should be performed throughout Cross bracing. How patients can move or walk around throughout the Cross bracing period. How Cross bracing has changed and evolved. Whether the ACL is at increased risk of re-rupture following the protocol. Essential medical management during the protocol. Whether therapists can put a patient in a brace, or manage the protocol independently. What to you do if you think a patient may be suitable for Cross bracing. How to refer patients for Cross bracing Followup imaging at the end of the protocol. Functional assessment tests used at the end of the protocol. Return to training (RTT) and return to play (RTP) following the protocol. Which patients require surgery instead of conservative management. Early surgery vs delayed surgery. Spontaneous ACL healing - what the research says. How to use patient-centred decision-making to guide patients into the most suitable recovery pathway - surgery, bracing or non-surgical management. Case studies and comparisons of patients that underwent either Cross bracing or ACL reconstruction. This podcast is packed full of great information on this emerging ACL injury treatment. You’ll finish this podcast with a deeper understanding of ACL injury management and Cross bracing plus practical knowledge, solutions and insights you can apply into your practice.
