Identifying how much running each of your patients can perform (their load capacity) during their rehabilitation is a skill. This podcast will help you develop your load management skills, and know how much running your individual patients should perform at each stage of their rehabilitation. In this podcast with Tom Goom, you will discover:  What is load capacity? How do we identify your patient’s running capacity? How are your patient’s progressing in their rehabilitation, relative to where they want to be? How can you identify what your patients goals are, so that you can help tie this into a rehab program? What questions can you ask your patients to assess load capacity and identify the right amount of load? What objective tests can you use to help identify your patient’s load capacity? How should you adapt your testing with different pathology? What tests can you perform to identify your patient’s load capacity if your patient has an Achilles Tendinopathy? What measures can we use to identify your patient’s running performance?  This podcast is the first in a series of podcasts over the next few months with Tom Goom, where we will help to develop your assessment and treatment skills, while improving your results with runners. &nbsp; Links of Interest   Download and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes  Download your free podcast handout on load capacity in runners  Enrol on the free webinar “How to perform a running assessment” with Dr Rich Willy Tom Goom on Twitter Connect with David Pope on Twitter  Review the podcast on iTunes Like the podcast on Facebook Get your free trial Clinical Edge membership Tom Goom’s website &amp; courses Tom on Facebook Live   Enrol on the free webinar “How to perform a running assessment” with Dr Rich Willy &nbsp; Related articles  Cook&nbsp;J,&nbsp;Docking&nbsp;S. “Rehabilitation will increase the ‘capacity’ of your …insert musculoskeletal tissue here….” Defining ‘tissue capacity’: a core concept for clinicians.

Physio Edge 056 How to assess your patient's running capacity and performance with Tom Goom

Helping our running patients recover and return to running following injury is our primary rehab priority, however we may also have the opportunity to help improve their running performance. Runners are often motivated by improving their speed, performance and times, and incorporating these goals into their rehab can increase motivation and exercise compliance. How then can we help our patients to improve their performance when returning from an injury? Find out in this episode of the Physio Edge podcast with Tom Goom. You will also discover:  Why consider performance? How might we assess performance in a more scientific way? What are the benefits of performance tests? How can we link it to other aspects e.g. gait analysis? How does performance influence training structure and progression? How do we optimise performance in injured athletes?

Physio Edge 057 Advanced Running Tests & Optimising Performance with Tom Goom

How can you identify the most important factors involved in your patients running injuries? During your rehabilitation of runners, which is most important to address - load, gait pattern, strength, foot strike, pelvic position, footwear, range of movement or other factors? I wanted to discuss and debate these issues with a number of Physiotherapists that treat and research running injuries, so I have a very different format for you on this episode of the Physio Edge podcast - a group podcast. On this podcast, we have Tom Goom, Greg Lehman and Dr Christian Barton all in one virtual room discussing and debating the merits of the various approaches to running injuries. In this episode of the Physio Edge podcast David Pope and the group discuss:  When is it ok for your runners to continue running, and when do they need to stop Common myths around running retraining When is it important to change your patients foot strike? Which patient presentations and pathologies will be assisted with running retraining? How can you identify a suitable running load during rehab How can you incorporate running retraining into your rehab Which areas are important to running assessment How can you manage training load strength and conditioning When are plyometrics appropriate during rehabilitation Other factors that impact injury prognosis and duration What advice can you give new runners Which footwear should runners wear?

Physio Edge 063 How to assess and treat posterior hip and gluteal pain with Benoy Mathew

Injured athletes like to recover and return to play as quickly as possible, and we need to balance return to play against impaired strength, performance and risk of reinjury. Initial injury rehabilitation often commences with isometric exercises, progressing into concentric/eccentric style exercises when isometric tests are pain-free. Finally high load eccentric exercises such as the Nordic hamstring are introduced for their positive effects of increased strength, fascicle length and reduced injury risk. High level and eccentric exercises are often avoided in the early stages of rehab, for fear of aggravating the injury. What if we could commence higher-level and eccentric exercises safely at an earlier stage? Would this impair or accelerate your patients' recovery? In this podcast with&nbsp;Jack Hickey, currently completing a PhD with the QUT/ACU hamstring injury research group, we explore an accelerated hamstring injury rehabilitation program, and how this can be implemented with your patients. You will discover:  The limitations of traditional rehabilitation What is the evidence for only using isometric exercises in the early stages of rehab Why eccentric exercises are commonly thought of as too high a load for initial rehab More modern rehabilitation programs for hamstring strain injuries, including the Askling (2013), Aspetar (2017) and Mendiguchia (2017) programs An accelerated rehab program, introducing higher-level and eccentric exercises at an early stage How often high-level exercises need to be performed Which exercises you can use with your hamstring injury patients How to know when to progress your patient's exercises When you can start your patient's rehabilitation When your patients can return to running How to progress your patience through a return to running program When your patients are suitable for return to sport   Download this podcast and subscribe on iTunes &nbsp; Links associated with this episode:  Get your free access to Sports Injuries presentations with Dr Ebonie Rio, Jack Hickey, Dr Adam Weir, Dr Michael Rathleff, Jo Gibson and Prof Bill Vicenzino Jack Hickey David Pope on Twitter Clinical Edge on Facebook Have a free trial Clinical Edge membership  ACU open access hamstring journal repository Dr David Opar on Twitter Dr Anthony Shield Dr Morgan Williams Dr Matthew Bourne Nicol van Dyk Rod Whiteley Nirav Maniar Ryan Timmins  Dr Steve Duhig    Sliding discs to use in hamstring slider exercises in your clinic - available in Australia.

There are a lot of myths around footwear, and your patients with running injuries will often blame an "incorrect shoe" choice for their injury, or believe that getting the "right shoe" will help resolve an injury. Are running shoes the cause of, and solution to running injuries? What advice should you give your patients when they ask that inevitable question "Do you think I need to get new shoes?", closely followed by "What shoe do you think I should run in?" In Physio Edge podcast episode 76 with&nbsp;Tom Goom, you will also discover:  What footwear should your runners and injured runners wear? Footwear questions you need to ask your running injury patients Does footwear change gait patterns? Can footwear contribute to injury? What footwear may contribute to or help in your treatment of Achilles tendinopathy What is heel-toe drop and how is this important? Does footwear affect ground reaction forces, and how does this relate to bone stress injuries and plantar fasciopathy? Is minimalist or barefoot running helpful or harmful? Can runners safely transition to barefoot or minimalist running? Is footwear the key to resolving running injuries? Shoe prescription Recommendations when buying new shoes Footwear considerations for specific pathologies When should runners change their shoes?  If you would love to get better results with running injuries, the&nbsp;podcast handout contains the key take-home messages for you. You can&nbsp;download it here.

When you love running or any other sport or activity, having to take time off with an injury is really frustrating. Your patients with an injury limiting their running will feel frustrated and be keen to keep running or get back to running as quickly as possible. We can make a huge difference in helping them return to running, but how do we do it?

It would be pretty simple if we could hand all of our running injury patients a standard return to running table with a list of set running distances, and send them on their way to just follow the program. The trouble is, it doesn’t work that way in real life.

Each of your patients will have different goals, and respond differently to rehab and increases in running, depending on their injury, irritability of their symptoms, their load tolerance, and a lot of factors. Since recipe-based approaches won’t work for a lot of patients, how can you tailor your rehab and guide your running injury patients through their return to running?

In this podcast with Tom Goom, we’re going to help you return your patients to running as quickly as possible, know which factors you need to address in your rehab, and how to tailor your rehab to each of your patients.
