Impact Institute: Physical Therapy & Performance

We talk today about truly what is evidence based practice: integration of clinical expertise, the individual PATIENT, and the best evidence available. This podcast guides a clinician or practitioner in how to analyze the evidence: what are common strengths and weaknesses of research. The podcast explores an example of a technique, "cupping with movement", which is a buzzing technique due to the recent Olympics: what is it, when is it appropriate, and how to integrate it into a comprehensive model of practice. Take home points from this discussion include: know the foundations of anatomy but be open to new techniques and continually understand the WHY to your treatment modalities, manual therapy, and exercises.
