Dr Joanne Parsons (@J_ParsonsUofM) is a physical therapist and an associate professor at the University of Manitoba. Dr Stephanie Coen (@steph_coen) is a health geographer and assistant professor at the University of Nottingham in the UK.

To date, ACL injury prevention and management has been approached from a sex-based biological point of view. In this episode, Dr Brooke Patterson (@Knee_Howells) discusses with Joanne and Stephanie how the traditional sex-based approach does not take into account the growing recognition of how sex and gender (a social construct) are ‘entangled’ and influence each other. They discuss their recent review (co-authored with Sheree Bekker), (https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2021/03/09/bjsports-2020-103173) and how clinicians can take a gendered approach to inform more effective approaches to injury prevention and management.

Beyond biology: a gendered approach to injury with Joanne Parsons and Stephanie Coen. Ep #478

Karim Khan calls mechanotherapy “the most important fundamental concept that underpins rehabilitation exercises”. 

Listen to Karim explain that all exercise-based rehabilitation relies on the cells of the injured tissue sensing the exercise stimulus, converting that signal to protein synthesis, and repairing tissue. He explains why ‘rest doesn’t work’ and argues that mechanotherapy has substantial evidence in its favour. The process applies to all body tissues – to injuries / pathology in bone, muscle, tendon and cartilage.

“Mechanotherapy” and why it’s important for clinicians with Karim Khan

If you have wondered about the connection between pain and pathology in tendons, this podcast is for you. 

In this new forum, a BJSM reader takes the hard questions to the experts, Chris Littlewood, who has expertise as a clinician and researcher in the rotator cuff, asks questions of Craig Purdam, who needs little introduction to you, and Ebonie Rio, who has expertise as a clinician in tendons and as a researcher in tendon pain. 

Listen to the answers on the complex nature of tendons and the relationship between pain and pathology, and let us know via bjsm@bmjgroup.com if you have a pressing desire to ask an expert yourself about a clinical issue in a podcast. We are always open to suggestions.

Chris Littlewood - Tendons: Where does pain fit in the continuum model?

Professor Lorimer Moseley (PT, PhD) is Chair of Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia and a professor of Clinical Neurosciences. http://people.unisa.edu.au/lorimer.moseley
He combines Oxford rigour with a laconic and very popular Australian style of communication. In this podcast he addresses the questions: 
What’s new in our understanding of the spinal cord? 
What should we be telling patients? 
Is the ‘hands on, hands off’ debate a useful one? 
How do you feel the profession is performing right now? 
On the subject of what should we be telling patients, he argues we should train them to ask clinicians 3 questions. 
1.	How do I know my pain system is over-protective?
2.	What can I do to retrain my system to be less protective?
3.	Am I safe to move?

Am I safe to move? Professor Lorimer Moseley: New understanding of pain and focusing on the patient

Research so often includes ‘education’ in the comparison arm of clinical trials as though it is a universal, standardized, or perhaps even inert component of intervention. But what if education IS a key ingredient in managing patellofemoral pain? Erin Macri met up with Dr. Michael Rathleff after hearing some impressive presentations from him and his team members at the 5th International Patellofemoral Pain Research Retreat in Gold Coast, Australia.

Dr. Rathleff works at the Research Unit for General Practice in Aalborg. He is an associate professor and head of the OptiYouth research group that works towards improving musculoskeletal health in adolescents. 

In this podcast, Dr. Rathleff shares some innovative and evidence-based approaches to optimizing outcomes for patellofemoral pain using strategic, targeted education.

Have we been thinking about Osgood Schlatter Disease (OSD) all wrong? To answer this question, Dr. Erin Macri interviewed Prof. Jens Lykkegaard Oleson and Dr. Sinead Holden from Aalborg University on a recent visit to Denmark. 
Prof. Olesen is a rheumatologist and sports medicine physician, currently located at the Center for Almen Medicine at Aalborg University. His research focuses on tendon and fascia tissue adaption to loading, and the use of ultrasound examination in tendon and fascia pathology. Dr. Holden is a Senior Researcher at the Center for General Practice in Aalborg, where she is co-founder and research co-ordinator for the OptiYouth Research Group focused on ‘optimising physical health in youth’. Her research aims to increase understanding of musculoskeletal injuries and pain in youth, to identify those at increased risk for developing chronic MSK problems.
In this episode, we delve into some recent evidence suggesting the OSD may not be the self-limiting condition we have typically believed it to be. In fact, OSD may be more akin to a tendonopathy in its presentation, which lends itself to exploring some novel treatment approaches that may change OSD management in clinical practice.
