Discussing Hoffa's Fat Pad with Claire Robertson | Physiotutors Podcast Ep. 003

In the third installation of the Physiotutors podcast, we talk about Hoffa's fat pad complaints and rehabilitation with one of the leading physiotherapists in the patellofemoral pain syndrome and Hoffa's fat pad complaints - Claire Robertson. We discuss how her research has helped outcomes of her patients who are often referred to her by other therapists due to her expertise in treating this patient category. In addition we touch on what she believes are areas that can be frequently overlooked for patients during their recovery by therapists, and even what clues therapists miss during the patients initial presentation of their symptoms. We also touch on the importance of treating the person and not just the condition. 0:00 Intro 3:20 Anatomy of the fat pad 4:38 Typical patient characteristics 6:48 Patient assessment and history 12:06 Tips on treatment and approaches 21:05 Identifying and working around fear avoidance 22:36 Importance of patient education 30:28 Treatment exercises 33:55 How has research impacted your treatment plans 38:32 Foam rolling, stretching VMO & VL architecture 40:42 Relationship between VMO/VL on PFPS/fat pad 49:14 How to find Claire and more info on fat pad & PFPS ENROLL IN OUR COURSE: http://bit.ly/PTMSK GET OUR ASSESSMENT BOOK ▶︎▶︎ http://bit.ly/GETPT ◀︎◀︎ OUR APP: 📱 iPhone/iPad: https://goo.gl/eUuF7w 🤖 Android: https://goo.gl/3NKzJX 🆕Merchandise: https://teespring.com/stores/physiotu... 🚨 HELP TRANSLATE THIS VIDEO 🚨 If you liked this video, help people in other countries enjoy it too by creating subtitles for it.
