We review a paper with 5200 participants that tried to answer how best to analyse someones risk of injury with training load.
It's been making the rounds on social media, what does it actually show and how can we use this information clinically?

This week we look at the new paper
"The effect of exercise time and frequency on the development of cam morphology" by M. Baldawi et al 2025

In this episode we sit down to discuss a really interesting paper all about how stability is produced in the glenohumeral joint. Concavity compression or Intrinsic muscle stiffness? Rotator cuff or larger muscle groups?
We go through the mechanisms and basic biomechanical considerations of this before discussing what we think this papers findings mean in clinical practice.

We're back for series 2!!
New logo but unfortunately for you, same hosts...
This week we're running through the brand new CALMER Cuff pathway from Fayh et al 2025.
- How should we manage cuff tears?
- How does surgery compare to conservative management?
- How do we discuss this with our patients?

That's us for the first half of 2025... holidays, babies and house moves keeping us busy over the next couple of months.
James and Jeff crack a few beers, have a few rants, offend a few nations and answer listener questions.
We answer a question from a listener about the benefit of NHS versus private practice as a new graduate before going on discuss a recent randomised controlled trial comparing manual therapy to exercise therapy in the management of persistent neck pain.
Finally we go on to discuss some of our considerations with managing people with neck pain.

We run through a presentation of shin pain that seems to evade any usual diagnosis.

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Ben Whybrow the host of the Clinical Communication Podcast to discuss...
- Communication tips
- Difficult conversations
- How to handle conflict
... and cake...
Hope you enjoy!
James is back and reminding Jeff this isn't an ACL podcast...
Today we are discussing the famous GRASP trial looking at Education, Progressive Exercise and Steroid injections for RCRSP.
What are the true take aways from this study?
Don't forget to check out Jeff's upcoming live webinar on his Instagram page
James was off climbing in the Alps this week so Jeff seized the opportunity to talk more ACL with Mr. ACL himself, Fin Murphy, without the usual judgement from James about how this might be becoming a lower limb podcast!
We cover everything to do with rehab considerations of the big 3 donor sites for ACL rehab. Great practical takeaways throughout this one!

Dylan Carmody joins us this week to talk to us about:
Anatomical and Functional considerations we need to understand when rehabilitating the calf complex
What objective tests we can use to help guide our rehabilitation and advice
Rehabilitation tips and tricks
James' cross sectionally challenged calves.
Check out his amazing value calf force profiling book here!
This week we are discussing the new secondary analysis of the KANON study from this year...
Do conservatively managed ACL's that show healing actually get better outcomes long term?

This week we discuss one of Jeff's go-to papers on everything to do with meniscectomy. We also touch on high tibial osteotomy and chondral cartilage surgery!
This is the last week of Jeff's launch sale for 'The Force Awakens: How to REALLY use biomechanics in clinical practice' - enter code LAUNCH20 at the checkout through the link in his instagram bio!

Apologies for missing last week...
But we are back with one of James' favourite ever studies looking at sham exercise vs strengthening for GTPS
Definitely a study that raises a lot of talking points, hope you enjoy!
This week we are re-releasing our first ever proper episode on two RCT's exploring the question of whether there is a difference between ACL reconstruction and non-operative management!
