Bone strength and density are vital in your running and sporting patients who can experience bone stress injuries (BSIâs), and also as patients get older and more vulnerable to falls and fractures.
How can you improve bone strength in patients following a bone stress injury such as Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome or stress fractures, or in other patients that youâd like to improve bone density or strength?
Traditional approaches to strength and conditioning may not always address the needs of your patients recovering from bone stress injuries. Thatâs where bone loading programs come inâa targeted strategy to help prepare bones for impact, improve power, and support a return to sport.
In this episode, Tom Goom (Running Physio) dives into the research and how to use a bone loading program to stimulate bone adaptation.
In this podcast, youâll discover:
The theory and evidence behind bone loading programs and how bones respond to impact. How to identify the right stage of injury recovery for introducing impact training. Practical guidelines for implementing short, progressive bone loading exercises. Techniques for progressing exercises based on patient goals and symptoms. Strategies to improve bone strength in patients experiencing other musculoskeletal issues such as Achilles tendinopathy. Real-world applications and demonstrations of bone loading programs.Tom also shares insights on identifying readiness for impact exercises, managing patient expectations, and adjusting programs for individual needs. Youâll leave this episode equipped with actionable strategies to help patients safely and effectively return to sport while supporting their bone health.
If youâre a clinician or physiotherapist looking for practical solutions to manage bone stress injuries or improve bone density, this podcast is packed with valuable information you can apply in your practice right away.

Taping: does it really help patients with shoulder pain, or is it just a brightly coloured placebo? In this thought-provoking episode of the Physio Edge Shoulder Success Podcast, Jo Gibson, upper limb rehab specialist at Rehab for Performance, unpacks the complexities of taping in shoulder rehabilitation. Drawing from the latest evidence and her extensive experience with shoulder pain, Jo shares two compelling case studies and whether taping was useful in the treatment of:
Volleyball player post-stabilisation surgery â Despite passing all return-to-play criteria, this patient struggled with fear of re-injury in specific positions. C/Sp referred shoulder pain â Severe neck and shoulder pain with difficulty sleeping left this patient guarding every movement. Learn whether taping played a role in this patientâs rehab.Jo examines the evidence behind taping, addressing key questions:
Does tape improve biomechanics, or are the effects purely psychological? How do sensory input and contextual factors influence patient outcomes? Can taping be a useful temporary tool, or is it overrated?Youâll also gain insights into:
The importance of clinical reasoning when choosing adjuncts like taping. How to manage patient beliefs and expectations around interventions. Practical applications of taping to improve confidence and support movement strategies.With a blend of evidence, clinical expertise, and practical examples, this episode offers a balanced view on the role of taping in physiotherapy. Whether youâre a seasoned clinician or early in your career, youâll come away with fresh perspectives on using taping effectively in your practice.

ACL injuries result in significant time away from sport and distress for patients. The variety of management options, from surgical intervention to non-surgical management and rehabilitation protocols, often makes us uncertain when educating and helping patients choose the most appropriate care for their needs and goals.
Recently, a new non-operative ACL injury management pathway called the âCross bracing protocolâ has been pioneered and developed by Dr Tom Cross and Tomâs father (the late Orthopaedic surgeon) Dr Merv Cross. This protocol offers a promising alternative for patients with ACL injuries who are suitable for non-surgical intervention, where the ACL injury may heal or repair itself.
Not all patients with an ACL injury are suitable for the Cross bracing protocol or non-surgical management, so how can you identify whether your patient is suitable, and which treatment options are best for each patient?
In this insightful podcast episode, we discuss the complex challenge of ACL injury management and Cross bracing with Clare Walsh (Specialist Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist, FACP).
Clare treats a lot of patients with ACL injuries with prehabilitation, post-op rehabilitation, or non-surgical management including Cross bracing. Clare works alongside Dr Tom Cross and other Sports Medicine Doctors, Orthopaedic surgeons (including the late Dr Merv Cross) and leading Sports Physiotherapists at Stadium Sports Physiotherapy and The Stadium Clinic.
Clare teaches on the Cross bracing course conducted in Australia for Physiotherapists and health professionals, and is a Senior Educator & Presenter here at Clinical Edge.
In this podcast we explore:
Cross bracing What it is and how it developed. What research has been performed to date, and what it shows about the chances of ACL healing with the Cross bracing protocol. Assessment tests & specific imaging that are used to assess patient suitability. Why patients might opt for Cross bracing rather than surgery. Who isnât suitable for Cross bracing. Potential negative outcomes of Cross bracing. Which patients are more likely to be suitable and successful with Cross bracing - eg. injury type, age, level of sport, goals, psychosocial factors. Medical factors that impact suitability. Psychosocial factors that impact whether a patient can undergo the protocol. Which leg (right or left) is better suited to bracing and why. Which type of braces are commonly used. How soon the protocol needs to commence after injury to be successful. Which concomitant injuries can still heal in a brace and which need surgery e.g. meniscus injuries, bucket handle tears of the meniscus, MCL tears. How long patients remain in a brace. Exercises and activities that can and should be performed throughout Cross bracing. How patients can move or walk around throughout the Cross bracing period. How Cross bracing has changed and evolved. Whether the ACL is at increased risk of re-rupture following the protocol. Essential medical management during the protocol. Whether therapists can put a patient in a brace, or manage the protocol independently. What to you do if you think a patient may be suitable for Cross bracing. How to refer patients for Cross bracing Followup imaging at the end of the protocol. Functional assessment tests used at the end of the protocol. Return to training (RTT) and return to play (RTP) following the protocol. Which patients require surgery instead of conservative management. Early surgery vs delayed surgery. Spontaneous ACL healing - what the research says. How to use patient-centred decision-making to guide patients into the most suitable recovery pathway - surgery, bracing or non-surgical management. Case studies and comparisons of patients that underwent either Cross bracing or ACL reconstruction.This podcast is packed full of great information on this emerging ACL injury treatment. Youâll finish this podcast with a deeper understanding of ACL injury management and Cross bracing plus practical knowledge, solutions and insights you can apply into your practice.

Posterior shoulder instability can occur after a fall onto an outstretched arm, or diving and hitting the ground with your arm (like diving to score a try in rugby), injuring the posterior labrum and/or the glenohumeral joint. Unlike anterior shoulder instability, patients with posterior shoulder instability may not have a feeling of instability, but may just experience pain, fatigue and weakness.
How can you identify posterior shoulder instability in your shoulder pain patients? What does your rehab for posterior shoulder instability need to include?
