This paper has made a huge splash and influenced so many physios treatments. So naturally we need to dive into it a bit deeper to see what it actually shows.

Jeff has beef (surprise), James googles more things.

You may have seen all the recent hype around Ozempic and other "miracle" Semaglutide medications for weight loss in the recent months...

But what is the clinical utility of these for OA??

We explore the new 2024 paper

"Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Persons with Obesity and Knee Osteoarthritis by Bliddal et al"

James tries not to get sued

Jeff mobs a hip

James compliments Jeff.

Also, we discuss Messier et al (2021) which compared an 18 month long high and low intensity exercise compared to an attention control in people with knee osteoarthritis... the results of which may surprise you!

*Regarding discussion on strength, the 3Nm/kg statistic we talked about is for isometric testing so strictly is not right to compare to 30 degrees/second isokinetic... but the message still stands!

We sit down to discuss a golden oldie from the research base. The study that gave us the straight leg raise and an insight into how the thinking around radicular pain developed!

We use this as a jumping off point before discussing different types of nerve root problems and how we think about them clinically.

We sat down with the legend that is Erik Meira to get his views on A.I. and it's potential role in healthcare and of course, some lower limb biomechanics and application to rehabilitation!

If you want to skip to the main discussion - head to around the 16 minute mark, kick back and enjoy!

James and Jeff are ahead of the game with this one! Looking at the very recent Hancock study diving into what moderates how people respond to treatment for Chronic LBP.

Jeff gets nervous about our next guest...

Patellofemoral pain after an ACL reconstruction or injury can be a huge problem if you don't know how to manage it and can at times grind rehab to a crawl.

In this episode we sit down with a good friend Fin Murphy (@finmurphyphysio), who is an expert in ACL rehabilitation, to discuss how we can reduce the likelihood of patients experiencing PFP after ACL-R and what to do about it if you find yourself trying to manage it!

This was a fantastic episode to record with loads of practical advice that you can implement straight away into your treatments. Along with (mostly) good analogies / metaphors to help with your communication.

Fin can be found online on Instagram @finmurphyphysio and is well worth a follow for information around ACL rehab!
