Physio Edge podcast with David Pope108. Cervical spine referred shoulder pain assessment, diagnosis & treatment with Jo Gibson When is shoulder pain from the C/sp? When a patient presents with shoulder pain and stiffness, how can C/Sp referral be identified? If a patient has full neck range of movement, and neck movements don’t reproduce shoulder pain, can their pain still be from the C/sp? Recent research shows that including treatment of the C/sp can improve results in up to ⅓ of shoulder pain patients. In this video with Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist) discover how to identify, assess and treat patients with cervical referral, including: What history and pain...2020-12-0739 min
Physio Edge podcast with David Pope105. Scapular dyskinesis - Does it really matter? with Jo Gibson When you assess your patients shoulder movements, and notice a winging scapula, altered resting position or timing of scapula movement, do you need to treat it? Can we diagnose “Scapular dyskinesis”, and does it matter? How can you simplify your scapular assessment? In this podcast, Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist) explores common beliefs and myths around the scapula, including: Abnormal scapular kinematics cause pain We can predict patients that are going to get shoulder pain Upper traps should be retrained to decrease their activation Scapular-based interventions are superior to rotator cuff based treatment There are re...2020-06-2934 min
Physio Edge podcast with David Pope103. An unusual cause of shoulder pain with Jo Gibson A young male patient woke with an acute onset of constant, shooting shoulder pain, is painful into abduction, reluctant to lift his arm, and feels like he’s losing shoulder strength. He has no recent history of injury. Can you diagnose this unusual cause of shoulder pain, based on this patient's symptoms and physical tests? What are your differential diagnoses and red flags to keep in mind with this patient? In this podcast, Jo Gibson puts your knowledge of shoulder pain and diagnostic skills to the test, and explores how you can treat pa...2020-06-1120 min
Physio Edge podcast with David Pope102. Stretching for shoulder pain - Is it time to put sleeper stretches to bed? with Jo Gibson Do you include stretches in your treatment of shoulder pain? Have you ever identified a glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) and used the "Sleeper stretch" to help improve internal rotation? Do stretches have any value for shoulder pain, or are there better treatment options? In this podcast, Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist) discusses how to differentiate true capsular stiffness from muscle stiffness, what information GIRD provides, and whether sleeper stretches for shoulder pain are a useful treatment. Jo explores the current research and clinical implications on your treatment, including: What is the...2020-05-1826 min
Physio Edge podcast with David PopeReturn to play testing after shoulder surgery with Jo Gibson Shoulder surgery in athletes is common following dislocation. Accelerated post-op shoulder stabilisation rehab protocols include early mobilisation to reduce movement, proprioceptive and strength deficits. This has allowed earlier return to play (RTP), however athletes often still have significant proprioceptive and strength deficits up to 2 years post surgery. Despite getting back to play, athletes may struggle to get back to performance. Following surgery, contact athletes such as rugby players, throwing athletes and young players have additional RTP challenges. Redislocation risks in contact sports such as rugby are high, leading to poor outcomes. Younger athletes are not...2020-05-0536 min
Physio Edge podcast with David Pope099. Upper traps - are they really a bad guy with Jo Gibson Patients with shoulder pain, rotator cuff tears and nerve injuries can often be seen shrugging their shoulder while they lift their arm, appearing to overuse their upper fibres of trapezius. Surface EMG research has shown increased activity in UFT in shoulder pain and whiplash patients. To add to this, patients get sore upper traps, and can be adamant that they need regular massage of their upper fibres of trapezius (UFT). We seem to have plenty of evidence that we need to decrease UFT muscle activity, and help this by providing exercises to target the middle...2020-03-1319 min
Physio Edge podcast with David Pope077. Anterior shoulder pain, long head of biceps tendon pathology and SLAP tears with Jo Gibson The long head of biceps tendon and superior labrum can get a hard time in throwing athletes and patients that fall on their arm or shoulder. This can result in long head of biceps tendon pathology or SLAP tears, and cause ongoing shoulder pain. A lot of our shoulder tests are non-specific, and are unable to identify particular structures that are irritated or painful in the shoulder. In the case of the long head of biceps (LHB) tendon and slap tears, there are a few useful tests that in combination with a good history can...2018-02-091h 21
Physio Edge podcastPhysio Edge 072 Accelerated hamstring injury rehabilitation exercise selection and progressions with Jack HickeyInjured athletes like to recover and return to play as quickly as possible, and we need to balance return to play against impaired strength, performance and risk of reinjury. Initial injury rehabilitation often commences with isometric exercises, progressing into concentric/eccentric style exercises when isometric tests are pain-free. Finally high load eccentric exercises such as the Nordic hamstring are introduced for their positive effects of increased strength, fascicle length and reduced injury risk. High level and eccentric exercises are often avoided in the early stages of rehab, for fear of aggravating the injury. What if we could...2017-11-031h 16
