    Episode 117: Rehab Protocols Following Osteochondral Transplantation

    We're following up on our discussion from last week about conservative management of osteochondral lesions to discuss post-operative rehabilitation following osteochondral transplantation. Big takeaways from our conversation: due to the generally a wide range in timelines following these surgeries, size and location of the lesion could be a better prognostic indicator than type of surgical graft.

  25. 131

    Episode 110: Intra-Articular Needling is a Thing?

    This week we discuss periosteal and intra-articular electrical dry needling as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis. We really show our biases in this. We don't like it. Hopefully we put our thoughts together coherently enough to explain all the reasons why we don't like it.  The article can be found here: https://spinalmanipulation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/periosteal-and-intraarticular-electrical-dry-needling-boosters-in-patients-with-knee-osteoarthritis-2025.pdf As always, if you enjoy what you hear, be sure to follow us on your favorite podcast platform and on Instagram @readingrehabpod.  If you have any article recommendations be sure to send them our way!

  27. 129

    Episode 109: What Should I Know About P-Values?

    This week Mike and Pat break down "Interpreting p values and interval estimates based on practical relevance: guidance for the sports medicine clinician". This is a short but dense article explaining the use and interpretation of p-values in research. Since p-values are so important to research and publication, clinicians need to know what they are telling us about the data and the potential limitations with them. While this paper was meant for clinicians, it can be hard to understand. We do our best to break it down and simplify according to our understanding.  The article can be found here: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2025/10/13/bjsports-2024-109357 As always, if you enjoy what you hear, be sure to follow us on your favorite podcast platform and on Instagram @readingrehabpod.  If you have any article recommendations be sure to send them our way!

    Episode 108: How Does Strength Training Impact Endurance Performance?

    Today is a solo podcast from Mike talking about "The effect of strength training on endurance performance determinants in middle- and long-distance endurance athletes: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analysis". While there are a lot of components to cover with this article, Mike's key takeaway is this: there are benefits of strength training to running economy and endurance performance (time trials or time to exhaustion), and there is no "magic formula" that is best. So, if you aren't doing any strength training to supplement running, you are leaving possible performance improvements on the table.

  31. 125

    Episode 107: How Not to Create Normative Values for Strength

    We're back talking about "Relative values of maximal isometric strength in lower limbs across different sports disciplines in high-performance athletes" an article published in Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research in 2025. The title and a quick skim brought our hopes up: having more normative values for the major muscle actions of the lower extremity would be nice. But our hopes came crashing down when we got to the methods. Measuring force:bodyweight not torque:bodyweight, different sports being analyzed as the same group, and not stabilizing during in-line dynamometry are some of the major crimes of the paper. Listen to the episode to hear our various rants!

    Episode 106: Is "Shin Splints" A Good Name?

    Mike and Pat discuss a recent article arguing for a new name for "shin splints": Load Induced Medial Leg Pain, or LIMP for short. While this is a fun name for these not fun symptoms, we aren't convinced that the name is actually necessary. What should have been a much more interesting conversation is foiled by wifi connection issues, but we hope you can enjoy our frustration at our difficulty having a conversation.

    Episode 105: Is Regenerative Medicine Actually Regenerative?

    Pat and Mike are back this week talking about something they don't know much about, but probably should: orthobiologics and "regenerative medicine". This is the future of medicine, whether we want it to be or not, so we should probably start learning about it.

    Episode 102: How Does Resistance Training Impact Muscular Endurance?

    Mike and Pat are back talking about resistance training for muscle endurance. A key distinction when talking about endurance is between absolute and relative endurance. Absolute endurance tests the same load at pre-intervention and post-intervention, while relative endurance tests the same % of load (ex. 60% 1RM) at pre and post. A key takeaway is that it is easier to see changes in absolute endurance measures than relative measures. While this is useful to know, it is hard to find many good clinical takeaways. Listen to the podcast to hear us give it our best shot!

    Data Nerds: Pro Cyclist with PFPS

    Data Nerds is a new series that we are introducing which will be alternating weeks with our usual journal club podcast. In this series, we share cases from our clinical practice where we utilize objective testing to inform our decision making, with most attention paid to the results of the tests and interpretation of the information. Therefore, this works best when you can see the numbers. Luckily, these are uploaded to our YouTube channel! Check us out at https://www.youtube.com/@ReadingRehab. In this episode, Mike leads us through a case where he used a Tindeq to test isometric knee extension strength and the Runeasi to perform a running gait analysis. We think it's pretty neat!

    Episode 98: Start with the End Goal in Mind

    After a week off, Mike and Pat are back to talk through a short article about backward design in sports rehab. Essentially this is starting with the end in mind. The authors feel there has been enough publications demonstrating why this is important in sports rehab, but not enough on how to actually do it. Listen to the podcast to hear us break down the different components and give some examples of how we use this process in our practice.  The article can be found here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40267618/ As always, if you enjoy what you hear, be sure to follow us on your favorite podcast platform and on Instagram @readingrehabpod.  If you have any article recommendations be sure to send them our way!

    Episode 97: How Do We Develop Powerful Athletes?

    This week Mike and Bryan talk through two articles that provide good foundational knowledge for what power is in sports and what are some ways that we can develop power. Some key topics we discussed are the force-time curve, importance of understanding sport demands, and using velocity to train different strength and power characteristics.
