PodChatLive Episode 99 with Peta Tehan and Martin Fox [Vascular Podiatry]
In episode 14 back in March 2018 (nearly 4 years and 85 episodes ago) we were joined by Dr Peta Tehan from the University of Newcastle, Australia, and Mr Martin Fox from Manchester, UK to talk about lower limb vascular assessment. It remains one of our most popular episodes to date, so we thought we'd invite them back on to give us an update on Vascular Podiatry. What has changed in the last 4 years? Why should we all be doing femoral pulse checks and toe pressures as standard? And if your patient demographic is >60years old are you as familiar as you NEED to be with the 3P's of PAD assessment? Hope you enjoy the episode.
PodChatLive Episode 98 with Cathy Bowen [Getting Published in a Journal]
In this episode we were joined by Prof Cathy Bowen (Lead of the Foot & Ankle Research programme at Southampton University, Chair of the Research Committee for the Royal College of Podiatry, and Editor-in-Chief for JFAR) to talk about the timeline of a journal article, from the moment you think you have an idea for one, until the moment you are reading it in black and white. How do you choose what journal to submit to? What's the deal with ethical approval? How can you maximise your chances of not getting rejected? What does the peer review process look like? All this information and more.
PodChatLive Episode 97 with the Running Shoe Geeks
In this episode we were joined by "The Running Shoe Geeks": Podiatrists and old friends of PodChatLive Michael Nitschke (Nitta, Episode 66) and Thomas Do Canto (TDC, Episode 75), along with Australian long distance runner, running coach, owner of The Running Company Ballarat and host of The Inside Running Podcast Julian Spence. We geeked out about the best shoes of this year, what shoes looks best in the pub, and what new releases we can look forward to next year
PodChatLive Ep96 - Psyche of the Injured Athlete
In this episode we were joined by Dr Laura Miele who has over 30 years experience in the sport, fitness and education industry. She played Division I basketball at Arizona State; was Tight End for the Arizona Caliente, of the Women’s Professional Football League; and was also a New York Golden Gloves semi-finalist in 2004. She holds a PhD in Psychology (with emphasis in Sport & Exercise), and is author of the book 'Psyche of the Injured Athlete: The Unspoken Truths'. In this episode she described the psychology of injury, including concepts such as identity loss, the mental component of recovery, and how we as clinicians can be more mindful of discussions we are having with injured athletes.
Episode 95 with Lauren Welte [Windlass Mechanism]
In this episode we were joined with Dr Lauren Welte who is a postdoc fellow at Queens University in Canada, and completed her PhD in Mechanical Engineering, where she heavily focused on the function of the human foot. She shared with us what the Windlass Mechanism is (and the reverse Windlass Mechanism), a contemporary understanding of it Vs some traditional beliefs about it, what we still do not know about it (and future work planned to investigate it). We attempted to discuss some more applicable/clinical considerations, such as the Jacks test, the influence of footwear/foot orthoses and its (alleged) link with pathology.
PodChatLive Episode 94 with David Klyne [Relevance of Sleep]
In this episode we were joined with Dr David Klyne. David is a research fellow at UQ focusing on understanding the physiology of pain and the complex mechanisms that drive its persistence. Sleep is one of the most important factors to our physical and mental wellbeing. David takes us through just what an important (and bidirectional) relationship there is between pain and sleep, and gives us some pragmatic tips on how to enquire about a patients sleep hygiene and practices, what good sleep does and doesn't look like. Whether you are an MSK specialist or work in the Diabetes Centre, this is more important than you may think it is.
PodChatLive Episode 93 with Rani Lill Anjum & Alex Murray [Causation in Podiatry] Part 2
Live podiatry chats with Craig Payne and Ian Griffiths. In this episode we were joined by Rani Lill Anjum & Alex Murray. Rani is a research fellow and leader for the Centre for Applied Philosophy of Science at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. She is also the PI for CauseHealth, a project focused on rethinking causality, complexity and evidence in health sciences. Alex is a Podiatrist based in Canberra. He is the Director of Podiatry Systems, a company dedicated to producing high quality CPD for Podiatrists, and is a communication/education partner of CauseHealth. They both joined us to muse about how confident we can/should be about the causes and effects we see in clinic, the context within which we should view the conclusions of RCTs, and how we should embrace patient uniqueness and complexity when formulating management plans.

PodChatLive: Episode 91 with Joe Brooks [Mental Health, a Podiatrists Story]
In this episode we were totally honoured to be joined by Joe Brooks (Podiatrist, Director of APodA Australia and Beyond Blue speaker) from his home in Tasmania and listen to his personal account of how he has suffered with anxiety and depression. He discussed some of the signs that may suggest getting help would be sensible, how important it is to have that difficult first conversation, and some of his own experiences and coping mechanisms than continue to this day. An inspirational man.
PodChatLive: Episode 90 with Ebonie Vincent & Brad Schaeffer [My Feet are Killing Me]
In this episode we were joined by Dr Brad from the East coast and Dr Ebonie from the West coast about the hit TLC show My Feet Are Killing Me. We chatted about how they came to be on the show, the process a patient who is being seen on TV goes through, and some of our favourite real time Twitter comments whilst the show is airing. Follow Ebonie and Brad over on Instagram, and check out the show on TLC, Discovery+ and Really (UK). There were a number of technical difficulties in this brief episode but it was loads of fun talking to them.
PodChatLive Episode 89 with Peter Malliaras [Talking Tendons]
In this episode we were joined by Dr Peter Malliaras, Associate Professor at Monash University and world renowned expert in tendinopathy who gave us his insight into what they key risk factors are for developing a tendon problem, clinical symptoms that help diagnose a tendinopathy, what we should be calling them (even though inflammation is still probably a part of the picture), and what good and bad management might look like.
Episode 88 with the Doctors of Running on the Best Running Shoes of 2020
In this episode we were joined by the “Doctors of Running” (Matt Klein, Nathan Brown & David Salas) to have one final nerd out for the year about some of the shoes 2020 brought us, with special shouts to Atreyu for a new subscription model (and a really fun shoe), Saucony for crushing it with their Endorphin range, Nike's Infinity React (which defintely decreases your injury by 52%), and of course the two muscle cars that have been battling it out for WR's in the Nike Aphafly and Adidas Adizero Adios Pro. We also ask the Doctors what their favourite shoes are and why, and what we should all be excited about looking forward into 2021.
Episode 87 with Farrah Jawad [Vitamin D]
In this episode we were joined by Dr Farrah Jawad who is a Consultant in Musculoskeletal, Sport & Exercise Medicine at Pure Sports Medicine in London (and within the NHS), has worked extensively in elite sport, and has undertaken research at the Royal Ballet looking at seasonal variation in Vitamin D levels among its dancers. We talked about how important Vitamin D is, how common insufficiency is, where we can source Vitamin D, and its link with foot and ankle pathology.
PodChatLive Episode 86 with Christian Barton on Knee Pain in Runners
In this episode we are joined by Christian Barton. Christian is a Physiotherapist who completed his PhD in patellofemoral pain and is now a post-doctoral researcher at LaTrobe University, Associate Editor at the BJSM, leads the TREK and GLA:D initiatives and also works in private practice where he specialises in knee pain in runners. He talked through how to differentiate between the most common knee complaints we see, the importance of not ignoring the psychosocial factors during the history taking, the evidence behind foot orthoses for PFP, hip level rehabilitation/exercises and what good and bad management of knee pain may look like in general. He also touched on load management, training habits and gait retraining. Some serious ground covered in this hour!
PodChatLive Episode 85 with Ian Reilly and David Gordon on Bunions
In this episode we took a deep dive into hallux valgus with two consultants; podiatric surgeon Mr Ian Reilly and orthopaedic surgeon Mr David Gordon. They shared how they perform a clinical work up for a bunion, along with the answers they give to to the most common patient questions (What is a bunion? What causes bunions? Will it get worse and over what time period?) They each perform hundreds of operations a year, but differ in their approach to this (open surgery Vs minimally invasive/keyhole) so we discussed this, along with some of the most common non-surgical management options for bunions as well. Hope you enjoy.
PodChatLive Episode 84 with Bronnie Lennox Thompson on Why Do Patients Seek Care?
Live podiatry chats with Craig Payne and Ian Griffiths. In this episode we were joined with Dr Bronnie Lennox Thompson and we discussed some of the beliefs that underpin when and why a person seeks care, and why a clinician should take the time to investigate this and also make sure the check their own assumptions. Bronnie also touched on why pain reduction/resolution is not always the primary goal, and discussed her research which looked into how some individuals live well with pain whilst others do not. This episode gestures toward the importance of history taking, motivational interviewing, pain science and human psychology (as as such has immediately become Ian's favourite episode!)
PodChatLive Episode 83 with Anna Boniface on Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport
Live podiatry chats with Craig Payne and Ian Griffiths. In this episode we were joined by Physiotherapist and elite runner Anna Boniface to talk about RED-S. She discusses what it is, and the myriad of health implications on multiple body systems along with the performance implications which contributed to the renaming/evolution of this condition from its previous moniker; the female athlete triad (not to mention that males are not immune either!) Anna also covered the key, and often sensitive, questions to ask (about weight, periods and libido) and gave some tips for how to ask them. She also shared with us her own personal story of being diagnosed with it around the time she earnt her vest to represent England in the marathon. Finally, she highlighted how to manage this complex condition within the MDT.
PodChatLive Episode 82 with Franco Impellizzeri on Problems with the acute:chronic workload ratio (Part 2)
In this episode we welcomed Dr Franco Impellizzeri, Professor in Sport and Exercise Science at Medicine at University of Technology Sydney (UTS). He is an incredibly accomplished researcher with hundreds of publications in the field of sports science and injury mechanisms. He has been one of the most outspoken critics of the acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) and the concept of ‘training load error’ and he spoke passionately about what the flaws with it are, why he feels it should be discontnued, and what a better way to monitor load may be.

He has been one of the most outspoken critics of the acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) and the concept of ‘training load error’ and he spoke passionately about what the flaws with it are, why he feels it should be discontinued, and what a better way to monitor load may be.
PodChatLive Episode 81 with Nadia Dembsky on Chilblains and 'COVID Toes'
The second part of our chilblains double-header focused on these skin manifestations alongside the current global pandemic, and what the changing and emerging evidence is telling us (currently). We were joined by Nadia Dembskey, who obtained her Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Johannesburg, sits on the Podiatry Association of South Africa National Executive Committee and has just submitted her PhD proposal to investigate this exact phenomena.
PodChatLive Episode 80 with Joseph Frenkel on Chilblains
In this episode we were joined by Joseph Frenkel. Joseph has 15 years clinical experience, a professional diploma in Dermatology and a Masters degree in Wound Healing & Tissue Repair. In this episode he was kind enough to walk us through everything we need to know about Chilblains, including the pathophysiology, the clinical manifestations, management and (as always) the importance of a history taking, with an emphasis on the key things which may raise the index of suspicion of the lesion in front of you being a Chilblain.
PodChatLive Episode 79 with Matt Klein on Running Shoe Appraisal
In this episode we were joined by Matthew Klein who is a Physical Therapist based in California and is currently studying for his PhD. He runs 70-100 miles per week and has a 5k PB of 14:45 and a marathon PB of 2:32:44. He co-owns the brilliant Doctors of Running website and we spent the hour as three shoe nerds would - just talking shoes! How should we appraise shoes? What features matter (or don't)? How can we take our improved understanding of shoe design features and apply that pragmatically to the patients/athletes we see in clinic? And what do Craig and legendary basketball coach Phil Jackson have in common? All this and more.
PodChatLive Episode 78 with Paul Ingraham on Stretching
Paul Ingraham is a Vancouver science journalist and creator of PainScience.com, a website about the science of pain, injury, treatment, and rehab with about a million monthly readers. In this episode he discussed the reasons people ritualistically stretch (beliefs about flexibility, injury reduction, improving performance etc) and the whether the scientific literature backs them up. He also made reference to certain structures which are biomechanically awkward/impossible to stretch, some of the sensory adaptations/neurology that may be involved, and whether stretching is indeed as beneficial as it society believes it to be.
