| 5/12/26 |  # 58: Most rotator cuff tears don't hurt | The FIMAGE study scanned both shoulders of 602 adults from the general population using high-resolution 3-Tesla MRI. Only 7 had a structurally normal rotator cuff. In this episode, I walk through what the study found, why 78% of full-thickness tears were in people with no shoulder pain, and what happens to the diagnostic value of a scan when the finding it detects is near-universal. I challenge the assumption that prevalence equals normality, explore why the word "tear" imports a trauma narrative into what is usually a degenerative process, and make the case that imaging findings deserve a smaller seat at the clinical reasoning table than we've historically given them.

| 4/28/26 |  #57: Stop Looking for a Winner: The Case for Treatment Pluralism | In this episode, I walk through my recent JOSPT paper arguing that no single treatment modality has proven itself superior for musculoskeletal pain and that the profession should stop pretending otherwise. Drawing on Isaiah Berlin's distinction between the hedgehog and the fox, I make the case for treatment pluralism: the idea that multiple interventions can lead to recovery, and that rigid allegiance to any one approach is not supported by the evidence.

| 3/31/26 |  #55: Will AI Replace Physiotherapists? | The argument that AI replaces "the science" while clinicians should "lean into the art" has become common across healthcare. In this episode, I explain why I think both sides of that framing get it wrong, and why the art vs. science debate was always a false dichotomy that AI has simply made harder to ignore. I draw on four thinkers to make the case: Michael Polanyi on tacit knowledge, Donald Schön on reflective practice in the swampy lowlands, Aristotle on phronesis, and Herbert Dreyfus on the limits of artificial intelligence. Together, they point toward a different answer, that what makes a clinician an expert isn't information retrieval or technical craft, but practical wisdom: the capacity to think with another person under conditions of uncertainty.

| 3/17/26 |  #54: Physiotherapists are Knowledge Workers | In this episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, we discuss why musculoskeletal clinicians are, at their core, knowledge workers. Not in the corporate buzzword sense, but in the truest sense: professionals whose value comes from the quality of their thinking, not the techniques in their toolkit. We explore why knowledge compounds but repetition doesn't, why information alone fails to change behaviour, and why trust is far more than a soft skill. If you've ever wondered what actually separates a good clinician from a great one, this episode is for you.

| 2/24/26 |  #53: Shin Splints: The Most Misunderstood Running Injury with Laura Anderson PhD(c) | Physiotherapist and PhD researcher Laura Anderson just published a paper arguing that "medial tibial stress syndrome" is a 'garbage' name that's been freaking runners out and leading to terrible treatment for decades. Her proposed replacement? Load-Induced Medial Leg Pain (LIMP). Yes, LIMP, pun not intended. The Problem: "Tibial stress" makes everyone think bone stress injury → stress fracture → panic → rest for months Clinicians still aggressively massage shins until they're bruised People rest for months and it comes right back when they start running again It's one of the most common running injuries and we have almost zero quality research on it What It Is: Not a bone stress injury on a fracture continuum Doesn't get worse if you keep running (unlike actual bone stress injuries) We honestly don't know exactly what tissues are involved (probably multiple) Imaging usually shows nothing useful The fix?

| 1/13/26 |  #52 It’s Not All About Strength: What the Evidence Shows and What the Reaction Reveals | In this episode, I discuss our recently published BJSM editorial “It’s Not All About Strength” ; what the paper argues, why we wrote it, and what the evidence says about mechanisms of exercise-related pain relief in musculoskeletal conditions. I then turn to the reaction. Not to name names or settle scores, but to examine what the response reveals about how we handle criticism, uncertainty, and challenges to familiar explanations in rehabilitation science. This episode is about evidence, mechanisms, cognitive comfort, and why letting our theories (ideas) be criticised is essential for progress.

| 11/4/25 |  #51: Resistance Training Across the Lifespan: What Really Matters with Dr. Jackson Fyfe | In this episode, Jared Powell is joined by Dr. Jackson Fyfe, exercise scientist and Senior Lecturer at Deakin University, to explore the science and practicality of resistance training across the lifespan. They unpack everything from how kids can safely lift weights to how older adults can maintain muscle health and longevity. Jackson also shares insights from his research on training dosage, hypertrophy, minimal effective dose, and how resistance and aerobic exercise can (and should) coexist. This conversation spans from myth-busting (“weights stunt growth”) to deep physiological insights about muscle as an endocrine organ. It’s a clear, evidence-based discussion that reminds us why lifting weights might just be the most underrated health intervention available. Key topics include: Why resistance training matters at every age The health benefits beyond muscle and strength How little training you can do and still get results Strength vs hypertrophy, what actually matters? Combining cardio and lifting: interference or synergy?

| 8/12/25 |  #49: Cognitive Functional Therapy with Prof. Peter O'Sullivan | In this candid and wide-ranging conversation, Dr Jared Powell is joined once again by Professor Peter O’Sullivan, one of the most influential voices in musculoskeletal care. Pete unpacks the rationale and findings of the landmark RESTORE trial published in The Lancet, which provides some of the most compelling evidence to date for cognitive functional therapy (CFT) in people with chronic low back pain. He discusses how CFT works, its philosophical divergence from traditional “find-it, fix-it” approaches, and how it centres the patient’s experience, goals, and context. You’ll also hear: A simple explanation of the 3 pillars of CFT The real-world training model used in the RESTORE trial The importance of behaviour change, flare-up planning, and self-efficacy What to do when CFT “doesn’t work” Pete’s reflections on burnout, clinician support, and the importance of community A behind-the-scenes look at the Evolve Pain Care Academy: a new initiative to democratize pain education globally This episode is packed with practical insights, personal reflections, and a compelling vision for the future of musculoskeletal care.

| 7/9/25 |  #48 Rotator Cuff Surgery: What Makes it Worthwhile? | In this solo episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, Dr Jared Powell explores a deceptively simple question: How much benefit does rotator cuff surgery need to provide to be considered worthwhile? Jared explores a new 2025 study by Harrison Hansford and colleagues, which uses a clever benefit–harm trade-off approach to quantify what patients actually want from surgery. This episode challenges the way we interpret research, the limits of "statistical significance," and the need for truly patient-centred decision-making. If you're still recommending surgery after failed physio without asking what makes it worthwhile to the person in front of you, this one’s for you. Key topics include: The concept of the smallest worthwhile effect Is “does it work?” the wrong question?

| 5/27/25 |  #47: Active Inference, Pain, and Movement with Dr Mervyn Travers | In this episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, Dr Jared Powell sits down with Dr Mervyn Travers, physiotherapist, S&C coach, and researcher, to explore one of the most compelling frameworks in contemporary pain science: active inference. They discuss how this predictive brain model helps explain persistent musculoskeletal pain, why traditional exercise-based interventions might miss the mark, and how clinicians can use movement and context to shift a patient’s pain experience. Merv blends philosophy, neuroscience, and clinical pragmatism in a way that's accessible, challenging, and highly relevant. Key talking points: What is active inference and how does it relate to predictive processing? The role of prior beliefs, culture, and clinical language in shaping pain Movement experimentation as a tool for model updating and recovery Why it’s time to rethink how we prescribe exercise in pain rehab Clinical implications from landmark studies within the field that lend themselves to active inference A call for compassion, curiosity, and nuance in patient care Check out the Shoulder Physio Online Course here Connect with Jared and guests: Jared on Instagram: @shoulder_physio Jared on X: @jaredpowell12 Merv website: Home - Optimise Rehab Merv X: @mervtravers Merv Instagram: @optimise_rehab See our Disclaimer here: The Shoulder Physio - Disclaimer | 1h 11m 54s | ||||||
| 4/29/25 |  #46: Evidence-based medicine with its founder, Professor Gordon Guyatt | In this episode, Jared Powell sits down with Professor Gordon Guyatt, the physician and researcher who coined the term evidence-based medicine (EBM). They unpack the origins of EBM, why it’s often misunderstood, and how it continues to shape modern healthcare. Rather than being rigid or formulaic, EBM is about integrating the best evidence with clinical expertise and—crucially—patient values and preferences. 🎙 Key talking points: The surprising history behind the creation of EBM Why randomised trials matter—and when they’re not enough How to practice medicine in the face of low-certainty evidence The role of shared decision-making in everyday care Why acknowledging uncertainty is a sign of strength, not weakness How EBM is sometimes misunderstood or misused What the future holds for EBM—including education in schools 🎧 A must-listen for anyone navigating the grey zones of clinical care. Key Papers: Professor Guyatt has too many high impact papers to mention and he has one of the highest H-Index scores in the world (number 13 worldwide and number 1 in Canada).

| 11/25/24 |  #41: Rotator cuff tears with Doctor John Kuhn | In this episode of The Shoulder Physio podcast, I am joined by Dr John Kuhn, who is an orthopaedic surgeon and researcher from the United States. Doctor Kuhn and his colleagues, through the MOON shoulder group, have published several high impact studies investigating the management of individuals with rotator cuff tears and the results of these studies have caused some controversy (good controversy, that is). Rotator cuff tears are ubiquitous in musculoskeletal health care. They are both common and often burdensome, so it is important that shoulder surgeons and physiotherapists can agree on best practice management, for the betterment of the individual with the rotator cuff tear.

| 10/22/24 |  #40 Tennis elbow with Leanne Bisset, PhD | In this episode of The Shoulder Physio podcast, I am joined by Leanne Bisset, who is the queen of tennis elbow, seriously. Leanne is an associate professor at Griffith University on the Gold Coast, Australia with a keen interest in upper limb tendinopathy. Leanne also has extensive experience as a clinician, which makes Leanne a balanced voice of reason. Tennis elbow is a common and often debilitating musculoskeletal condition however it often receives insufficient attention compared to other, more sexy, tendinopathies.
