    The Solution to Overdosing Isn't Underdosing: An Assessment of the 'Quiet Knee' Approach

    Co-hosts Nat and Phil break down some new(ish) research in the post operative total knee space. The 'quiet knee' protocol for total knee arthroscopy (TKA) may swing the pendulum in how some think about rehab following this procedure. We break down the paper (Afzal S, Bhatti P, Alschuler DM, et al. Quiet Knee Rehabilitation Protocol After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Is Associated With Lower Opioid Exposure and No Added Risks: A Retrospective Cohort Study. J Arthroplasty. 2026;41(S1):S80-S84. doi:10.1016/j.arth.2026.03.083) which can be found at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41932408/. Conversations include what we like about the paper, what we had issues with, and where research could and should head next. The conversation ends with a few takeaways from the recent update to the APTA's CPG for TKAs. You'll walk away with a viewpoint of how TKA rehab may (or may not) be changing and be better prepared for questions from patients and potential new referral instructions from surgeons. As always, thanks for listening. Special thanks to fellow Arkansas PTs Jonathan Jacobs and Nick Hargett along with their band Big Cloud for allowing us to use their song "Grass" in the intro.

    If It Hurts a Little, Do It a Little: A Simpler Approach to Low Back Pain Management

    Co-hosts Nat and Phil sit down to discuss and share a (hopefully) nuanced and simple-r framework for managing low back pain. They try to cover the range from red flags to real life and provide a pragmatic approach to managing the most common condition PTs come across in the clinic. If you listened, Phil couldn't remember the name for the Patient Specific Functional Scale (find it here: https://www.sralab.org/sites/default/files/2017-06/Patient-specific.pdf).
