Beyond the Research: What Actually Works in the Clinic

In this episode, Tony Mikla and Russ Dunning tackle one of the most important challenges in physical therapy and sports performance: the disconnect between academic research and what actually works in the clinic.

They break down:

  • Why research can feel outdated or irrelevant by the time it reaches clinical practice

  • The challenges of applying rigid protocols to highly variable human bodies

  • How real-world testing, athlete feedback, and pattern recognition fill the gaps

  • The role of AI and data in customizing care and predicting adaptation

  • The importance of identifying limiting factors and training the athlete in front of you—not the one in a textbook

Plus, they explore how PTs and coaches can work with universities (instead of waiting on them) and why the future of rehab may depend on clinician-led research rooted in real movement.

Whether you're a clinician, student, or coach, this episode will challenge how you think about evidence, testing, and what truly drives better outcomes.
