So for this month’s episode Adam and Greg discuss sham and placebo exercises in rehab. Now this topic is clearly raising lots of questions and doubts about our specific exercises and how and why those exercises help people with aches and pains. But does this mean that our specific exercises are useless and not necessary when sham and placebos work just as well, and does this also mean we can do whatever the hell we like with our exercise prescriptions?

***WARNING: Explicit content*** This episode on cervical manipulation was recorded a few weeks before the current coronavirus pandemic really took hold of the world, and so it seems irrelevant now, but Adam and Greg do mention some tips and ideas on how to still work as a therapist at a responsible and ethical clinician using online resources. However, if you want a few minutes escape from all the virus talk, there is 20 minutes of discussion on the risks and benefits of cervical manipulations.
