Marathon runners often come to us with pain, but also they need to build up their mileage in preparation for one of the most challenging events in endurance sport. They're trying to do more when their body may be telling them they need to be doing less. 

How do we manage their symptoms, and guide them up to the marathon itself?

Find out in this podcast with Tom Goom (Running Physio).

Here’s the podcast that over 12,000 listeners have been demanding – physiotherapist Adam Meakins (@TheSportsPhysio)on a number of controversial topics, including:
Is diagnostic palpation accurate?
Can the sacroiliac joint really be ‘unstable’?
How does ‘touch’ in physiotherapy have its therapeutic effect? 

Adam provides great value on Twitter and on his blog – here you can listen to him in your favourite podcast setting. 

Adam shares his way of explaining neural pain to patients and that alone is worth the price. 

He also discusses his popular blogs on ‘5 Least Favourite Shoulder Rehab Exercises’ as well as ‘Top 5 Shoulder Rehab Exercises’. 

He argues that the key to managing some knee conditions is to manage load and he refers to Scott Dye’s classic ‘envelope of function’ concept. 

And we close by discussing a couple of  figures that have gained great traction in the Twittersphere. You might find them useful in your clinical practice. But it’s a risk on radio – I get that! Enjoy and comment via @BJSM_BMJ or on Facebook.

Apophyseal injury in children and adolescents are common and usually respond to simple unloading interventions. But what is the underlying pathology and why do some children succumb and others not? And why do some apophyses become painful and others fail completely with a complete avulsion? Despite these questions it is an area that is under-researched and few people have a specific interest in this area. 

Listen to the insights of Dr Matthieu Sailly, who is a French sports physician who has expertise and research interest in injuries in young athlete. He was the head of the Aspire Academy medical centre where he worked extensively with highly trained adolescent athletes and developed experience on growth related injuries and long term development strategies for immature athletes in various sports.

Shoulder dislocation is common in sports, and management for the active athlete who dislocates for the first time remains controversial. Canada’s Olympic Medical Committee Medical Director, Prof Bob McCormack, explains the ways to assess patients to help decide whether to trial rehabilitation first or to opt for reconstruction. 

Bob has vast experience as an Olympic team doctor (beginning with Sydney) and as a team physician in the Canadian Football League and Major League Soccer. 

This is the first of 3 podcasts; he discusses management of AC joint separation and clavicle fracture in the others. BJSM welcomes the Canadian Academy of Sport & Exercise Medicine (CASEM) as one of 17 member societies (Full access to all content).

Mid-clavicular fracture: Open surgery or collar and cuff? Prof Bob McCormack (Olympic physician)

Modern surgical techniques can make a traditional treatment obsolete. Think of the Herbert screw for scaphoid fracture. Professor Bob McCormack tested a new hook plate in a Canadian multi-centre trial of management of complete dissociation & dislocation of the AC joint. You have to listen to find out how the story ends!
