#68: Is physical therapy just a therapeutic ritual? With Prof. Chad Cook
Jared is joined by Professor Chad Cook who is one of the great researchers and academics in the field of physical therapy.
Chad is clear and cogent voice on many topics but I especially love his more recent work on treatment mechanisms, which will form the basis of this episode. Enjoy.

#67 Shoulder impingement with Professor Jeremy Lewis
Jared is joined by Professor Jeremy Lewis who really needs no introduction but we will give him one just for fun.
Jeremy is a researcher, educator, physiotherapist, and one of the biggest names in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
In this episode Jeremy discusses his journey in cementing the fact that subacromial impingement syndrome is a "clinical illusion" and a fundamentally flawed concept. This one is not to be missed.
