where can someone find the audio file for TNT training / what is the BPM used for this kind of training (i am refferring to referring to Rio et al .2015)

This week the panel are joined by Michael Brady, the national advisor for LGBT Health to discuss why your patient’s queerness might matter to you, and how to practice inclusively, as well as an interview with Lisa Power MBE,  a British sexual health and LGBT rights campaigner. Have a listen to hear Michael Brady answering your questions, agony aunt style!

Inclusive Practice

It is currently widely accepted among clinicians that chronic tendinopathy is caused by a degenerative process devoid of inflammation. The evidence for non-inflammatory degenerative processes alone as the cause of tendinopathy is surprisingly weak. 

In this podcast, Jon Rees a rheumatologist at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust tells Jill Cook why the role of inflammation offers potential opportunities in treating chronic tendinopathies and should be explored further.

Time to revisit inflammation in tendons, with Jon Rees

The mental health of athletes has been in the spotlight throughout this summer, as high-profile athletes such as Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles have spoken out about the importance of prioritizing their physical, and especially their mental, well-being.

In this episode, host Dr. Giselle Aerni, MD is joined by AMSSM Past Presidents Dr. Cindy Chang, MD and Dr. Margot Putukian, MD to discuss the AMSSM Position Statement on Mental Health Issues and Psychological Factors in Athletes, which Dr. Aerni also co-authored.

In this 33-minute conversation, they address the following topics:
The importance of a position statement on the mental health of athletes and the novel aspects addressed in the document
The team-based approach to mental health care and why it’s a crucial component for the well-being of athletes
How the acceptance of mental health issues has evolved in recent years and the impact social media has on those perceptions
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on athletes’ mental health and how it reinforces the need for conversations about this vital issue

The Importance of Mental Health in Athletes with Two AMSSM Past Presidents EP #483

What causes tendon breakdown? What are the stages of tendinopathy, and how do they effect your treatment? Is treatment just about eccentric training? 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!

PE #005  Tendons And Tendinopathy With Jill Cook

In her first podcast since being recruited to the La Trobe University Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine Research (Australia), Professor Jill Cook explains: (i) how tendons break down, (ii) how to assess painful tendons, (iii) how to manage tendon pain DURING a season, and (iv) how to rehabilitate a tendon properly after a season has finished. 

She explains what  a ‘reactive’ tendon is and what a ‘degenerative’ tendon is as well as what sort of loads should be prescribed for patients who have tendon with these pathologies. 

A practical masterclass. Even if you have heard Jill speak before, there will be something new for you here.  Sneak peek – Part 2 focuses on the concept of ‘capacity’ and why it’s an important concept.

Professor Jill Cook (La Trobe University) revisits BJSM podcasts after two years: First of Two

In this 2nd of 2 podcasts for 2015 (link to previous one here http://ow.ly/V8h97) Professor Jill Cook from the La Trobe University Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine Research (Australia) introduces the term ‘capacity’ for physical therapy / physiotherapy. 

‘Capacity’ is a very practical concept that underpins successful tendon rehabilitation. Prof. Cook discusses how to use the figure from the linked paper to list exercises a patient should do. Practical stuff. 13 minutes of gold! 

Timeline:  
1:00m - Why do we need the term ‘capacity’ in clinical practice?

1:30m - Definition – What is tissue ‘capacity’? 

2:15m - The difference between ‘capacity’ and ‘function’ – capacity is tissue-specific

3:15m - Practical example: Hamstring muscle strain 

5:30m - How to use this in the clinical setting – sitting with a patient and explaining the rehab programme 

7:00m - The ‘Capacity’ figure – how to use it with patients to get buy-in to their rehabilitation 

8:30m - ‘Building a bridge’ from what patients can do now to what they want to return to

9:00m - Practical tips including examples of (i) strength, (ii) energy storage, (iii) energy storage & release exercises

12:00m - Summary (30 seconds!)

What is tissue ‘capacity’? How does it help successful rehabilitation? Prof Jill Cook (2nd of 2)

Often tendinopathy will be resistant to even the best traditional rehabilitation methods. Liam West chats to Dr Ebonie Rio, a PostDoctoral Fellow at La Trobe University’s Sports and Exercise Medicine Research Centre in Melbourne. Dr Rio’s research aims to explain the role of the primary motor cortex in tendinopathy. She discusses tendon neuroplastic training (TNT) and how it might help your tendinopathy patients regain pain free function in the clinic.

Timeline
0.40 – Why traditional rehabilitation for tendinopathy might be unsuccessful
1.40 - Changes in primary motor cortex and motor control in tendinopathy
2.35 – What is TNT & how to utilise it?
5.30 – How long does it take for TNT to help patients?
6.30 – Cross education for tendinopathy
