Posted by Philipp Roth in Bounce back Education, General, Mind-Body-Puzzle, Research on February 19th, 2018
A fracture/dislocation of my ankle skiing Mount Perisher last July, subsequent surgery and 8 weeks non-weight bearing, gave me great insight into the physical and psychological hurdles and time investment needed to get back to a busy and productive work and home life.
I experienced firsthand the many pieces of the puzzle that need to be assessed to achieve optimal functional outcomes and it is very much a mind and body challenge that needs to be addressed both from the bottom up as well as top down. As one of my course slides below shows, there are many factors that feed into the puzzle of minimising pain and disability with individualised weighting to rehab components depending on the individual client.
So the latter half of 2017 saw me focusing rehab goals from each piece of the above puzzle (as an old gluteal tendinopathy issue raised its head again), strength and ergonomic challenges for teaching and not to mention the psychological hurdles of 10 hour work days and returning to skiing with the family.
It’s wonderful to see the current concepts discussed in the ‘Body in Mind’ blog bringing some emphasis back to addressing the needs and requirements of the body while still addressing the mind and psychological aspects of recovery.
As I paced myself towards walking, sledding then skiing Icey /snowy sloped on our winter holiday in the northern hemisphere in January, I was channelling Lorimer Mosley (I even told my kids about his now famous brown snake and the brown twig pain experience) and facing my fears. I do know however, the required surgery, the manual therapy afterwards, the rehab strength, balance and cardio vascular conditioning and the hip tendon program were essential and pivotal to face my fears of skiing Icey 5 km long mountain slopes at 3,000 metres.
So in 2018 Bounce back is committed to provide new online resources backed with face to support clinicians in providing multifaceted and targeted functional and manual therapy strategies to optimise patient outcomes.

Easier said than done, or is it?.
What if I told you there is now a simplified flow chart approach to hip differential diagnosis which makes both manual treatment and specific exercise prescription clear and logical. Would it be worth your while to understand a little more? Well in this weeks Blog I provide you with the visual answers to understand the “Hip Differential Diagnosis Flow Chart” and a case study that puts it into practice with videos, as a picture tells a thousand words!
How much were we really taught about differential diagnosis and treatment of the hip in Undergraduate courses? Not very much at all, but via advances in hip imaging, arthroscopic surgery as well as muscle and tendon research, our knowledge about how the hip should be assessed and rehabilitated has exploded in the past 5 years.
During my Sports Physiotherapy Specialist preparations, it became clear that there are well in excess of 50 hip tests that are recommended for effective differential diagnosis of the hip as pathology is so widely varied. Authorities on the hip agree that differential diagnosis is the key and must be considered and addressed to optimise performance, but so often a combination of presenting signs and symptoms leaves the health professional confused and frustrated, even if you have remembered all of those 50+ tests.
The trick to understanding the hip lies in using a visual flow chart that divides presenting hip pathologies into 5 different categories and understand that more than 1 issue can be present and muddy the water. Using the flow chart approach to hip diagnosis will keep you on track to seeing the whole hip picture clearly.
The 5 categories that all assessment strategies from the beginning should aim to deferentially diagnose are:
Once the presenting issues are identified and demystified, a treatment and exercise program can be designed with an evidence based rehab strategy. The case study link using Powerpoint and video shows part of an assessment protocol differentiating between anterior hip stiffness and anterior hip instability.

We have all had those patients that keep you awake at night thinking: why does their hip or pelvic pain keep flaring with Pilates and hip strengthening exercises that you know work with other clients? I know the term “psychological issues” is the easy answer, but make sure you don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, by ignoring local hip structures that may create a cascade of pain responses, cortical motor control inhibition and emotion.
I spend many of my clinical hours seeing complex hip pain clients referred by Orthopaedic/Sports Specialists, Physio colleagues and insurance companies asking for a multifaceted rehab strategy. Obviously psychological strategies must always be considered and addressed but differential diagnosis of often a combination of presenting
musculo-skeletal issues is also key! Once the presenting issues are identified and demystified, a treatment and exercise program can be designed with an evidence based rehab strategy.
All the knowledge I have gathered and developed regarding hip-related issues as part of my Sports Physio Specialisation qualifications, I have put together in a comprehensive but easy-to-follow format in the Hip Rehab Exercise Grid which I offer to you totally free Click here to access. This is a must-have resource that you can start using today, with my compliments. My passion has always been to impart knowledge for the maximum good and if this knowledge helps you and your clients, then the years that have gone into understanding the hips have been worthwhile.

This post gives you a behind-the-scenes look at world record and Olympian aerial skier, Lydia Lassila’s journey from debilitating back pain which made her contemplate retirement to a world-record at the last winter Olympics.
It’s hard to comprehend the commitment need for an athlete to perform ski landings sustaining up to 9x body weight when they are experiencing pain just turning over in bed. This was the stark reality that Lydia was faced with when returning to her sport after the birth of her first child. I was asked by the winter Olympic team to assess the possibility of Lydia getting back to her best. After a detailed examination, it became apparent Lydia needed 3 phases to her rehabilitation program:
Phase 1) Minimise aggravating lifestyle and sporting activities combined with manual therapy and specific muscle activation strategies. Pacing and flare-up strategies were a must.
Phase 2) Retrain Lydia’s movement patterns for aerial-skiing by breaking the movement sequence down into small pieces that could be practised on water in Switzerland, to minimise impact.
Phase 3) Building elite muscle strength, finely-tuned with concentric and eccentric muscle programming in specific joint angles needed by Lydia to form the complex movement patterns required for aerial skiing and the high-impact landing.
For your benefit, attached is a link to a case study covering the behind-the-scenes rehabilitation program which I designed for Lydia. This program was undertaken by Lydia and led her back to full recovery, an Olympic medal at Socchi and becoming the first woman to ever perform a quadruple somersault in aerial skiing.
Recently Lydia interviewed me on the strategies required to overcome long-standing back pain and some of the new and innovative strategies we are using at Bounce back. In her own words Lydia talks about her own rehabilitation experience.

Thanks to those that attended the Bounce back Digital info session on Saturday. We hope that the afternoon was full of valuable knowledge about the exciting new developments for the Bounce back program, particularly our move to a digital platform. Below are links to both Trish and Phil’s presentations from the first part of the afternoon.
Additionally, below is a copy of a presentation Trish gave recently to the SMA on the Bounce back digital platform, which is similar to her presentation on Saturday. Feel free to review yourself or share with your staff as a way to let them know the key points of what we discussed on Saturday.
