The pod now has many (thousands!) of new listeners and we decided to bring forward our annual Q and A session with the hosts of the show. A little more backstory of each host, a look back at why we do what we do, some incredible highlights you might have missed and why the pod is a firm proponent of evidence based practices.We cover off many topics, including:Is the podcast a full-time gig? What the difference between evidence-based and evidence-informed practice is,Qualitative research and the rich benefits of it's implementation,The often overlooked concept of maturation,The view of pain and discomfort in therapy - the good and the bad, Hands-on vs hand-off approach and the top-down and bottom-up philosophies, Our scientific stance on manual facilitation techniques and why we have a section on the website that is dedicated to our conversation with the DMI (Dynamic Movement Intervention) founder(s).It's about why research both matters and why ResearchWorks! 😉We still plan on bringing you some incredible interviews with amazing researchers over the last 7 episodes of the year, culminating in our historic 200th episode milestone, so be sure to stayed tuned!
