If you have ever wondered which scales / instruments are best for capturing contextual factors, you are likely not alone. We tackled this meta-question in our recent open access paper in Nature Scientific Reports: lnkd.in/eshZ2GDH

I am part of a large Delphi study looking to standardize assessment and treatment for MACI related surgeries. We need talented, experienced physical therapists who treat this population. Please DM me if you meet the criteria below and would be interested in being involved.

Social media is a HUGE resource for knowledge dissemination in MSK rehab. Unfortunately, as our recent Scoping Review outlines (and not to much suprise) much of what is shared is unreliable, poor quality, and coming from questionable sources. Check it out: tinyurl.com/5f8tuamm
Our moderator analysis of the SS-MECH trial is one of the favorite papers I've ever been involved in. We looked at baseline features that suggested someone might benefit from manual therapy (MT), but not exercise, or exercise, but not MT. Paper is here: lnkd.in/e8VYt2sG

Do we really know why our treatments do (or don't) work?
Our September #Editorial poses the question about how much we can truly isolate the mechanisms of change in our patients

What really happens when we use manual therapy?
Join Chad Cook, PT, PhD, at WCLBP 2026 he takes a closer look at the mechanisms and effectiveness of manual therapies.

Pleasure working with @chadcookpt on this one. It's important for us to accept we still don't really know how many of our treatments actually work. Our editorial outlines some of the reasons we still don't have these answers.

Patient expectations matter in musculoskeletal physiotherapy.
Our new @MSKPhysioJnl paper introduces the Contextually Informed Expectation Alignment framework to support person-centred, evidence-informed and professionally responsible care.

Last month I was one of many that spoke at a conference at USC that also honored Kornelia Kulig and Rob Landel's retirement. Today i received a hand written thank you letter from both of them. What a class act! Role models to the end.

Our interdisciplinary team recently published a Masterclass on Spine-Related Leg Pain in Musculoskeletal Science and Practice.
We aimed to enhance clinical pattern recognition, targeted management, and interdisciplinary communication.

Excited to share our latest publication in @MSKPhysioJnl, "Spine-Related Leg Pain: Definitions, Etiology, Clinical Presentation, and Management" which provides a practical framework for understanding and managing SRLP to support clinical reasoning! Enjoy!
