In this episode we were joined by Sports Podiatrist (and 2:14 marathoner) Thomas Do Canto to talk through his approach to taking a thorough history from an injured runner. Given the current global climate it is reasonable to assume there may be an increase in running injury rates: The Running “Coverload” Injury Phenomena – Griffiths (2020). Combine this with more remote/online consultations (where we may have to prioritise the subjective over the objective) and it should become clear why taking a good history from a runner is so important. Thomas talked us through his 4 page form which he sends to all runners for them to fill out before the consultation; and the rationale behind many of the questions on there and how they may really help him formulate a provisional diagnosis and management plan before he has even met the patient.

Great stuff, thanks all! Im having trouble finding the show notes to this episode (and others) and was hoping to have a look at a copy of the intake form and the Kirby article referenced.
Sorry; Most of the links etc are posted in the comments as we stream live on Facebook. Its just a big job to go through them all and add them here. We will get to it eventually.
