Physio Edge podcast

All golfers want to hit as far as Tiger Woods, but without the injuries. How can you treat the injuries in your golfing patients, prevent further injury and improve their “coachability” and performance?

Golfers regularly need Physio treatment for injuries like tendinopathy around the elbow, low back and neck pain, and plenty of other injuries. In episode 8 of the Physio Edge podcast, I chat with Matt Green of High Performance Golf about

  • Common golf injuries
  • How to assess and treat golfers
  • Technique errors that contribute to injury
  • Tendinopathy around the elbow
  • Assessing the golf swing
  • Strengthening and motor control
  • Advice to give your golfers and
  • plenty more.

If you treat golfers, or would like to treat more golfers, get stuck into this episode free on iTunes, and brought to you by the podcast sponsor Clinical Edge.

  • What are the different styles of dry needling?
  • How can dry needling be used in sporting populations?
  • How to know immediately if your needling has been effective
  • What is the evidence for dry needling
  • Studies show decreased ROM with needling, is it possible to improve ROM with dry needling
  • How does changing ROM actually relate to a patient’s pain?
  • Some clinical scenarios where dry needling could be incorporated

What causes tendon breakdown? What are the stages of tendinopathy, and how do they effect your treatment? Is it just about eccentric training for tendinopathy? When should NSAID’s be used?

This is part of the great discussion I had with Jill Cook about tendons and tendinopathy. We also chatted about some other aspects of tendinopathy, including

  • Factors that contribute to tendinopathy beyond biomechanics
  • Eccentrics - what is the future of training to rebuild tendons
  • Return to sport or running after tendinopathy
  • Avoiding tendinopathy
  • Treatment at each stage of tendinopathy
  • Rehabing achilles tendinopathy
  • Rehab for hamstring tendinopathy

plus we related all of these to clinical scenarios. Enjoy!
