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!

On this episode, Canadian powerlifter, coach and Calgary Barbell owner, Bryce Krawczyk chats with John and Jared about all the deets of the powerlifting world. Come listen to what keeps these three pals training and competing and what they think of the common misconceptions of raw vs. equipped training that are floating around on all platforms.

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
