In this episode we're joined by Australian rowing physio Matthew Anthis and fellow clinician, chiropractor Beccy Moneley who kindly gives us some insight into her experience managing her own hip labral pain and post-op rehab whilst trying to row at a high level and manage her career.

We discuss her initial pain onset, clinical signs, early management and how she came to the decision to go for surgery and pick Matt's brains on how he might rehabilitate the same patient. Matt provides great high level insight into managing these often tricky cases with patients who are more often than not, comfortable working into high levels of pain!

The aim is hopefully to bring a different angle to the patient/ clinician experience and gain some insight into how best to manage rowers at high levels and how to get them back on the water as soon as possible!

In this episode we are joined by Dr Tom Cross, a practicing sports physician of 25 years with a specialisation in sports medicine who has worked with Australian rugby, super rugby and NRL teams and Dr Paul Trikha a renowned consultant knee specialist who regularly treats professional sports athletes and has a special interest in knee surgery.

In this episode we discuss the history and origins of the CBP and its current place within sports knee injury management. Tom helps us with some key subjective and objective clinical signs which might help our physio practice and both surgeons talk about specific MRI findings which we need to be aware of when educating and guiding patients with their ACL pathway.

In this episode we are joined by England 7's physio Olivia Withers and ex All black 7's physio Damian Banks to talk about some differences in managing 7's and 15's rugby injuries. We explore common causes, assessments and rehab outcomes however, the episode ultimately ended up focussing a lot on hamstring management due to the sprinting nature of the sport. I hope you can take way some useful and insightful tips for 2 world class clinicians and rehabbing your 7's players and potentially, borrow these for other speed based sports.
