| 5/25/26 | Evolution of Running Footwear Paradigms and Injury Prevention Strategies | PHYSIO MOSMAN: https://www.fitasaphysio.com/ This review explores the evolution of running footwear design and its relationship to injury prevention and athletic performance. The authors examine four primary scientific paradigms—pronation control, impact force modification, habitual joint motion path, and the comfort filter—noting that historical methods like matching shoe type to arch height lack strong empirical support. While traditional features like midsole cushioning aim to reduce repet... | 1h 09m 10s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | Frozen Shoulder: What the World’s Largest Clinical Trial Reveals About Surgery vs. Therapy | PHYSIO MOSMAN: https://www.fitasaphysio.com/ The UK FROST study was a multicentre randomised clinical trial conducted to determine the most effective treatment for adults suffering from primary frozen shoulder. Researchers compared three common interventions: early structured physiotherapy with a steroid injection, manipulation under anaesthesia, and arthroscopic capsular release. The trial findings revealed that none of the treatments were clinically superior to the others regarding long-ter... | 56m 46s | ||||||

In response, governing bodies have implemented safety guidelines to restrict heading frequency during training, yet scientific evidence r... | 28m 59s | ||||||
| 3/30/26 | Why Exercise Heals Your Pain (Even When You’re Not Getting Stronger) | PHYSIO MOSMAN: https://www.fitasaphysio.com/ This editorial challenges the traditional belief that muscle strength gains are the primary reason exercise relieves musculoskeletal pain. While physical activity is highly effective for recovery, current research suggests that biomechanical changes often fail to explain why patients feel better. Instead, the authors highlight biopsychosocial factors, such as increased confidence, reduced fear of movement, and improved biochemical balance, as more ... | 39m 45s | ||||||
| 3/19/26 | The ACL Myth: Surgery Versus Rehabilitation | PHYSIO MOSMAN: https://www.fitasaphysio.com/ Surgery Versus Rehabilitation for ACL Rupture This living systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates whether early surgical reconstruction or primary rehabilitation—with the option of later surgery—offers better outcomes for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.
