A really enjoyable live audience podcast last night with Charlie.

A fantastic group with some great conversations and networking throughout the evening. I really enjoyed the concept of recording a podcast live. Not only does it allow you to engage with the audience in real time, it also creates an opportunity for physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals to connect, build relationships, and meet new people. It’s something we probably don’t do often enough.

Charlie did a great job hosting and took a really thoughtful approach to the discussion. We spent time exploring the genesis of my career, starting with my own hip journey and how that shaped the path I eventually took professionally. From there, we used that framework to discuss how I would now approach managing a younger version of myself if he walked into my clinic today.

That led us through a broader conversation around rehabilitation following surgery for FAI syndrome, clinical decision making, and some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way. We even managed to squeeze in a little business chat towards the end.

A big thank you to Charlie for the invitation and to everyone who came along and contributed to such a great evening.

Keep an eye out for when released on Spotify.

Comment ‘hip roadmap’ for your FREE guide.

“Your Hip Replacement Recovery Roadmap: What to Expect” is built on years of working with hip replacement patients, seeing what helps, what holds people back, and what nobody tells you before you go under the knife. It walks you through every phase of recovery with a clear, structured plan so you’re never guessing what comes next.

You’ll find practical advice, realistic timelines, and the exercises that actually matter, all laid out in a way that makes sense whether you’re preparing for surgery or already in the thick of recovery.

Gluteus medius is one of the primary muscles that stabilises your pelvis when you walk or run. When you stand on one leg, it helps keep your pelvis level and prevents the opposite side from dropping.

The gluteus medius has different regions that perform different jobs. The front fibres contribute more to hip internal rotation and abduction, while the back fibres contribute more to hip external rotation and pelvic control during movement.

Weakness is not always the reason it becomes painful. In conditions such as greater trochanteric pain syndrome, the issue is often reduced tendon capacity, overload, or poor load management rather than simply having a “weak glute med.” Research increasingly supports progressive loading rather than endless activation exercises alone.

Here’s what the latest research shows 👇

🔹 CAM morphology (alpha angle >60°) carries a relative risk of 1.62 for developing radiographic hip OA within 8 years (World COACH consortium, 23,886 hips)

🔹 In men with cam morphology that risk jumps to 2.50 compared to those without

🔹 A separate meta-analysis found cam morphology gives an OR of 2.52 for hip OA development across prospective studies

🔹 PINCER morphology is a completely different story

🔹 Moderate pincer (LCEA >40°) is NOT significantly associated with hip OA development

🔹 Only SEVERE pincer (LCEA >45°) shows a meaningful association in the latest data (Riedstra et al., 2026, 18,935 hips)

🔹 Cam has a consistent, causal relationship with OA across multiple large prospective cohorts

🔹 Pincer’s relationship is equivocal and likely only relevant at the extreme end of overcoverage
