On this episode we dive into the following topics with Joanne Kemp:

1. Outcomes of hip arthroscopies for labral tears and FAI
2. Statistics of hip pathologies in symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals 
3. Importance of non-operative management and best practices for physio-led treatment of hip pain
4. Thoughts about if diagnosing the exact pathology causing the hip pain even matters

Joanne Kemp, master of the hip, sports physiotherapist of 25+ years based in Australia, is currently participating in research for women’s sports and lower extremities out of La Trobe University. Her focus is around hip pain and FAI, she previously completed her PhD looking at hip arthroscopic surgery, what their outcomes were and how physiotherapists could change these outcomes. Currently, she is focusing on optimizing the non-operative plan for FAI at this time. On top of all of this greatness, she is still treating patients in the clinic with a focus of hip pain across the lifespan. 

If you are a student, clinician, or strength and conditioning coach wondering how to best educate your clientele about their hip pain and best program your patients- this episode is a must listen. 

For the future- Joanne has been running a large clinical trial for the last 3-4 years, a PhysioFirst study regarding what is best exercises and physio-led treatment for those with FAI. Keep your eyes peeled in 2022 for the results and discussion!

Welcome back to the ClinicalAthlete Student Shenanigans!

On this week’s episode, we have Andrew Gillihan with a background of a Master’s in Kinesiology and Behavioral Sciences and is now a current DPT student with a heavy interest in men’s pelvic floor and tactical athletes.

Are you in a PT or chiropractic program and feeling like you’re not treated like an adult and being forced to treat your professors as superiors that can affect the relationships and environment that you are learning in? Maybe you feel like these programs are too focused on the Board exams and not enough on the best and newest research and expectations of being in the “real-world”? 

If you are  a member of Clinical Athlete or Level Up, you are most likely a progressive thinker and find yourself extremely frustrated with the quality of most of these programs. Maybe even frustrated with some of your peers. Andrew and the CA Student Shenanigans crew dive into some of these common frustrations and ideas of how to gain the respect of your peers, professors and to start making a change in these programs. 

The team also dives into Andrew’s interest and his own business, Stoic Physical Therapy, that is built on stoicism and being a good human. He has started with the HoneyBadger Project and is serving veterans and military members, focusing on health, healing and wellness and diving into pelvic health within this population. 

Happy listening!

Just to remind all you listeners, Quinn and Steph have started this new series to dive into the details about some of their own clinical cases. 

Quinn, one of the leaders of all the craziness that ClinicalAthlete is, also does some pretty cool things clinically. His office is inside of a weightlifting gym, so naturally, he specializes in working with barbell sport athletes. 

Case:

A female weightlifter, powerlifter, Strongman competitor, gym-owner and coach (woah!) recovering from a concussion. 

She is having troubles with her ability to exert force against external load and is finding some positional boundaries due to onset of concussive symptoms that can last a day or two. 

How do you begin graded exposure if there are no preceding factors to tell if symptoms are about to take over?

Steph speaks on the importance of a clinician’s confidence in situations like this and how it can make the programming you provide for your client even more effective.  

Happy listening!

Welcome back to the ClinicalAthlete Student Shenanigans!

On this week’s episode, we have Andrea Farmer, current DPT student at the University of North Florida.

Unfortunately within healthcare, burnout and losing the passion for your field is not uncommon, not only in the working world but even throughout school prior to getting your first job! Andrea had a brilliant idea to start with the HoneyBadger project to start her own business that helps healthcare students progress on mindset, physical activity, and stress management to try to prevent burnout and to maintain their passion. 

She discusses how being a student, commuter, wife, AND business owner takes discipline and passion.

If you’re a student/ new grad, come listen to all her tips and tricks to fuel your passion and stay healthy! 

Enjoy!!

Have we been using objective measures to decide when patients can get back to sprinting or are we blindly following a timeline? Have our previous “protocols” been sensitive to those providers and athletes without the new up-to-date technologies and resources?

Dan Lorenz, DPT, PT, ATC, LAT, CSCS, the director of sports medicine at Lawrence Memorial Hospital/OrthoKS in Lawrence, KS currently and a background in much more, is answering these questions and many more! Specifically in this episode, the ClinicalAthlete team dives into his Criteria-Based Return to Sprinting Progression publication, how it came about and what are the most important aspects to understand. He answers all questions about what the criteria looks like, personal experiences of where the usual progressions may not be appropriate for different reasons, the differences between being medically cleared and physically cleared, and much more! 

AND as a bonus: Dan gives some great advice about BBQ that you CANNOT miss. 

Publication that we discussed:
CRITERIA-BASED RETURN TO SPRINTING PROGRESSION FOLLOWING LOWER EXTREMITY INJURY

Quinn and Steph are starting another NEW series on the ClinicalAthlete Podcast! 

Welcome to The CALU Clinical Files.

To all you listeners (yes all 6 of you), you DON’T want to miss this.

Quinn and Steph are starting this series to dive into some of their real life cases in which they have navigated some unknowns and come out on the other side to really have a positive effect on their client’s lives (pretty much they are just crushing it and want to brag!). 

Steph, as you all know, is on the Level Up “side of things” and a HUGE part of the CALU merger. She is passionate (and very good at) ACL rehabilitation and is currently working out of Boston PT and Wellness. 

On this episode, Steph describes a case about a rockstar high-school senior who is a competitive skier and unfortunately tore his ACL on the slopes. Post-surgery, Steph tested his quad Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) at the following timestamps with subjective reports:

3 months: Quad LSI approx. 60%-feeling GOOD

6 months: Quad LSI approx. 90%- followed up with anterior knee pain and reports of it feeling…. “wobbly”. 

Cue tears?!

Come listen to find out what exactly was going on and how Steph navigated the reports of pain and discomfort!!

Ever dive into the research for a whole weekend and then just had NoOoO idea how to apply it to your client on Monday morning? Or even better, you figure out how to apply it and quickly realize it just didn’t work? 

Maybe you’re an athlete who is having a hard time digesting all the info regarding training and injuries on the good ole’ internet?

This show is for you.

John and Jared have been reflecting on their own experiences and the conversations they’ve had with previous ClinicalAthlete Podcast guests. They’ve gained tons of insights as both coaches and athletes because of this, but they knew that a lot of coaches and athletes were still struggling to make sense of it all.

Enter The Nameless Series!

(Don’t worry, YOU’RE going to help us name it!)

This is a laid-back, informal series all about how to blend being a coach and an athlete, helping you and your athletes perform better, and finding comfort in the “grey area”. The guys want to use this show to pass on what they’ve learned so far and what they’re learning now, so you can learn from it too. They’ll be bringing on influential guests from the athletic and coaching worlds that have wisdom to share – you’ll probably recognize some of them!

During this very first episode, John issues a “hair-off” challenge to Omar Isuf!

The duo also talk about how much they love watching the little wins with their athletes and getting to know them more than just an athlete. They emphasize the importance of finding that blend of using the scientific-research but also connecting on a deeper level with your athletes and coaches.

Make sure to keep an eye on John, Jared, and ClinicalAthlete’s Instagrams to vote for a name to this new series!
