Welcome to the Soft Tissue Therapy Podcast

In this episode Liam and Emily talk to Bristol City centre-back Robbie Cundy about his injury, rehabilitation and some of the treatment he received along the way.

In early March 2021 Robbie sustained an injury to the articular cartilage of his knee. He underwent a micro-fracture - a surgical procedure that creates tiny fractures in the underlying bone, this stimulates healing and causes new cartilage to develop.

Over the next few months Robbie went through rehabilitation, encountered setbacks and overcame them to go on to make his full first team debut in mid-March 2022.

Listen in for the whole story and for the professional athlete's take on all things therapy.

In this episode of The Soft Tissue Therapy podcast Liam and Emily discuss:

• Mid-back pain case study - Liam talks about a client he has seen recently with non-specific mid-back pain. The client has seen many different healthcare professionals over multiple years with no relief from his symptoms. We discuss the pressure this can put on the therapist and different approaches to assessment with this kind of history in mind.
• We tackle the question: 'What is the best CPD for a soft tissue therapist?'
• Being a manual therapist is physically demanding, as well as mentally and emotionally at times! We discuss our preferred methods of self-treatment to make sure our cups stay full so we can continue to pour as required.
