  • Excellent information!

    I’ve come across this podcast as I’m recovering from 2 stress fractures and episode 108 was so helpful in understanding fractures more and I have been recommended further episodes by Blake to help. I am so glad I’ve come across this podcast as it can be hard as a patient to fully understand what’s going on and self education is really important so thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Strengthening vs Stretching for FAI Syndrome: Which Works Best?
Q: What was the primary outcome and what did the results show?
The trial had two primary outcomes: IHOT-33 (hip-related quality of life) and a global rating of change. Both groups improved about 22 points on IHOT-33, with no difference between strength and stretch at the group level; however, the strength group showed higher likelihood of improvement on the global rating of change when dichotomized.
Achilles and lower limb tendonopathy - Dr Myles Murphy #118
Q: What is your approach in managing more sedentary groups with persistent Achilles tendinopathy?
I focus on improving their functional capacity rather than just addressing the tendon pain directly.
Achilles and lower limb tendonopathy - Dr Myles Murphy #118
Q: Have you always worked within research and a clinician, or were you a clinician first and then coming to research?
I started with a clinical masters and during that process found research enjoyable, which led me to pursue a PhD while balancing clinical practice.
