We have a special treat for you today. Mike sat down to record a bonus episode with Nick Koch! Nick is a physical therapist with the University of Utah and treats as part of their climbers clinic. In this episode, he covers the essentials for clinicians to know when they are treating pulley injuries in climbers. Our conversation spans from the importance of diagnostic imaging, differential diagnoses, to splint or not to splint, a sample treatment progression, and taping. Enjoy!
