131. Holiday season - How to keep patients progressing, avoid losing them over the holidays and keep kids active & injury free with Paula Peralta, Simon Olivotto, David Toomey & Zoe Russell

We’re heading into the holiday season, when your patients will either keep progressing with their rehab program, or give their exercises a miss for a while and risk an increase in symptoms, skip appointments in the new year, and disappear off your list.

How can you prepare & motivate your patients for the holiday period, or effectively hand over care of your patients to another therapist, so their pain and strength keep improving?

In this live mentoring session, the Clinical Edge presentation team of Specialist and Titled Physiotherapists will reveal to you:

How to keep your patients engaged and progressing over the holiday period.
If you’re going away, how to effectively keep in contact with patients or hand patients over to other therapists, and avoid losing them over the Christmas period.
How to help kids and young athletes stay active and manage load over the holidays, to stay strong and healthy and avoid overuse injuries early next year.

Prepare your patients now, and set yourself up for a successful holiday season and new year with this free mentoring session.

125. Cross education to improve shoulder strength. Physio Edge Shoulder success podcast with Jo Gibson

Immobilisation following a humeral fracture or shoulder surgery quickly results in muscle atrophy and decreased shoulder strength and proprioception. How can you limit strength deficits that develop while patients are in a sling?

During this period of immobilisation, cross education (CE) can help retain shoulder strength. This improved shoulder strength and proprioception after the immobilisation period concludes may enable a faster return to work, high load activities or sport. What is CE, and how can you use it in your treatment? Find out in this podcast with Jo Gibson (Clinical Physiotherapy Specialist), and discover:

What is cross education (CE)?
What the latest research reveals about the effectiveness of CE?
Which patients benefit most from CE.
Common strength and proprioceptive deficits after shoulder stabilisation surgery.
How CE improves strength and proprioception.
Recommendations for CE exercise intensity and dosage.
Whether to use eccentric, concentric or isometric exercises.
How to amplify the strength and cortical effects of CE.
How to target the rotator cuff with CE.
How to incorporate proprioception into CE.
How to use CE in rehab for instability, movement apprehension & kinesiophobia.
When to include CE in MRCT post-op rehab.
