After a 14 month hiatus, we're back! We're not far away from the Australian National Podiatry Conference, and this month we've seen one exhibitor's invitation to have a presence at the conference rescinded. If you want the TL;DR on what's been happening here, this brief update has got you covered. Links for deets ↓ 1. The FB group post that starting things off. 2. My thoughts on where our historical advertising practices have come back to bite us. 3. Previous Instagram ponderings.

P3's Research Round-Up In this episode we're doing a deep dive into the clinical application of a recent research publication, that aimed to assess & measure the adherence to exercise for patients with musculoskeletal pain. Yes, we are talking about research, BUT we are focusing on how we can apply this clinically. Why is this research important? This tool explores 6 domains that are commonly associated, either positively or negatively, with rehabilitation adherence. By gaining insights into how a patient is scoring relative to these domains, we can adjust our management strategy, improve their adherence, and ultimately, improve our rehab outcomes. the free monthly Research Round-Up newsletter https://www.progressivepodiatryproject.com/researchroundup Get your FREE Exercise Prescription Tool https://www.progressivepodiatryproject.com/blueprint Find out more about P3's monthly D subscription, GFM: Gait | Footwear | Movement https://www.progressivepodiatryproject.com/gfm Article: Bailey DL, Bishop A, McCray G, Foster NE, Holden MA.

Today we're ed by physiotherapist Beau Walker-Tyrrell (aka @beauscience101 & @stressfracturephysio) to unpack the recent systematic review & meta-analysis on strength training & running injury risk. We talk literature, physiology, when strength may be beneficial, when it's maybe not worth it. Lot's to unpack...

In this episode I share the 4 step process I go through when prescribing an exercise to; Improve a patient's confidence in performing the exercises. Improve a patient's understanding as to why they are being prescribed the exercise. Increase a patient's adherence to the exercise program. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/p3podiatry/message

Looking at this predominantly through the lens of musculoskeletal pathology management, we discuss how we can communicate value effectively and discuss strategies that may allow flexible delivery of care, that align with both the clinical and financial needs of our patients - without compromising the quality of our care. Within this episode we tackle 4 approaches to musculoskeletal injury management that can help patients navigate affordability issues, from orthoses, to footwear, to attending rehabilitation appointments.

Are you considering "Should I take this job?" In this episode we explore a number of self-reflective questions that will help you answer this question and more... What elements of a job opportunity do I need to consider to understand if it is the right job for me? What are some ways I can identify potential red flags of an organisation? Getting somewhat philosophical, we look at some conceptual frameworks that have built our understanding of the various elements that contribute to job compatibility, fulfilment and satisfaction. If you're a new graduate looking for work or something thinking about a bit of a career shift, this extended episode is for you.

There's a multitude of reasons when the typical sets & reps for exercise prescription may not be appropriate. In this episode we explore the clinical utility of AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible). Including; what it is, when we may utilise this option, and how we may program it (for rehab).

Self-reflections and practical strategies to build confidence when discussing treatment costs with our patients. It's possible that in caring TOO MUCH we end up sabotaging our treatment outcomes. In this episode we explore; What happens when we make assumptions? How can I know if I am making assumptions about my client's financial position? Self-reflection questions. How can I improve my confidence & delivery when discussing treatment costs? Practical strategies. What are some strategies I can implement to help navigate financial barriers? Clinical tips.

For many podiatrists who work in more general clinics venturing into the world of exercise prescription can feel overwhelming. This episode shares some insights as to why working in general podiatry can be one of the BEST places to hone your rehab skills. - Why is a general podiatry clinic one of the best places to begin? - How can we start integrating exercises into our general care appointments? - What type of exercises can I start with? - How can I dose exercises when I'm not confident with standard sets & reps?

In this episode we explore The Windlass Test and how clinicians can get more 'bang for buck' with the information this test can provide. Many clinicians may utilise objective tests to identify what pathology they may be dealing with. However, many stumble when it comes to figuring out the selection and timing of the therapeutic interventions that may be beneficial to aid their client's recovery. In this episode we explore how we can use the information gathered from performing the Windlass Test to select exercises that may better align with an individual's load-tolerating capacity. ie: prescribing for a PERSON with a pathology, as opposed to simply prescribing for a pathology.

In this episode we talk about the importance of individualising our rehab programs. That is, treating the person NOT just the pathology. - What's the difference between standardised care & "cookie-cutter" care? - How should we be using the published Best-Practice Clinical Guidelines? - What can we standardise & what can we individualise?

Foot orthoses - where do they fit into your clinical management? Does everyone need orthoses? No Do those who are prescribed orthoses need them for life? It depends... What should we consider if we are to make appropriate recommendations & management plans for our patients? In this episode Podiatrists Talysha & Jackson explore some elements of orthotic prescription that are often equally important (if not more) to the script itself.

In this extended episode Talysha & Jackson talk about their experiences of undertaking post-graduate university studies, and share some insights to consider when deciding if formal post-graduate education is for you. Some of the questions & considerations discussed are: - Get real about your ability to engage in self-directed learning. - Return on investment - will the time, money & effort yield the results that you're after? - D activities vs formal education, pros and cons of both - and what may be more suited to your goals.

Dr Doug Ritchie & Rebecca Rushton aka The Blister Pod from @Blister-Prevention s P3 to deep-dive further into the science, mechanics & management of blisters. In this episode Doug & Rebecca break down: - Are blisters a modern problem? - Walking & running mechanics and blisters - can altering gait play a role? - Where do shoes fit into the equation? - The 'ideal' sock for preventing blisters. - Orthoses (+ top covers) and their role in blister management. - The unique skills podiatrists have that can improve the management of blisters.

In this episode Talysha & Jackson give clinicians an insight into utilising the VAS (Visual Analog Scale - of Pain) & RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion), to help your clients dose their rehabilitation exercises.  The inverse relationship is very important for progressively loading tissue, to increase the load-tolerating capacity & restore function. That is, as pain/reactivity decreases, applied load & complexity can increase. By utilising the VAS - RPE we can help decrease the likelihood of a client 'over dosing' their rehabilitation exercises, leading to an injury flare.  For a free resource to help you formulate exercise rehabilitation programs for your clients - the Movement Prescription Blueprint https://www.progressivepodiatryproject.com/blueprint
