What if you could gain insights from a renowned physical therapy professor and learn about the evolution of physiotherapy practice and research? Join us in a riveting conversation with Chad Cook, a professor at Duke University and the director of the Center of Excellence in Manual and Manipulative Therapy. As we take a stroll down memory lane, we discuss the significant growth of science and evidence-based practice over the past 33 years, the vital role of patients in recovery, and the impact of various interventions throughout the years.

We also tackle the influence of social media on the dissemination of research and its effect on physical therapy practice. Discover how the character of the researcher or presenter shapes people's perception of the content, and the ongoing debate about manual therapy. We'll also delve into the importance of purposeful skepticism, clinical equipoise, and the challenges of conducting research.

Lastly, we explore the significance of capturing patient voice in clinical research, the bio-psychosocial factors, and psychologically informed care. Chad shares his thoughts on the Proteus Phenomenon, the importance of the clinician-patient relationship, and some of his current research projects. Don't miss out on this fascinating discussion as we uncover the complexity of patient-driven approaches and the potential of improving outcomes.
