@DrJN_SportsMed@SportsClinicNQ Something about 8 deg or 8% widening on wb ct rings a bell, but can't quite remember. Last time speaking to ortho ankle specialist they mainly relied on MRI however. Bet it was an osoto gari throw!
Friday physio confession:
I wish with all my heart that I could just give the pt a stretch, crack, exercise or advice that would just fix the issue.
I wish it was that simple.
12 months ago I ruptured my ACL (femoral avulsion). The 42nd person to use Cross ACL bracing protocol (non-operative rehab). Returned to surfing 4.5 months and Australian rules footy <6months. Complete confidence in knee stability. 3 scans show healing at 0-, 3.5- & 12-months
Saw a 50s female with nasty infection in STCJt about 15 years ago. Wasn't aware of the infection until I applied negative pressure removing needle after injecting CS. Nasty gunk in syringe! Didn't MRI them in those days!

Friendly reminder to check in. Are you holding any tension in your body? Is your jaw clenched? Do you feel tightening in your chest? Where do you feel it? If you have time I encourage you to take a moment to scan your body & relax each part. U matter. U deserve time for yourself

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but experts are humans who are allowed to be wrong and then change what they say based on new evidence. That’s what makes them experts.
If I can wear a tight surgical mask for 2 hours while I’m sweating my ass off repairing your liver and diaphragm after your car accident, you can wear a fabric mask for 10 minutes at the air conditioned store while you pick up toilet paper and bottled water.
