Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Grand Rounds 7 was presented online on  February 1, 2022 and this is the recording from that presentation.

The case is a very active 41-year-old  with chronic left knee pain. The patient first noticed the knee pain in May of 2021, then had a sudden onset of low back and pelvic pain. Since then, the patient has been unable to run more than 1km without severe knee pain. Her first referral to see a physiotherapist was in September 2021, with the main goal of being able to resume her regular 5K runs. Topics discussed include a loss of pelvic control (common in runners), patellofemoral syndrome, and thoracic and midfoot restriction. The panelists provide insight into interventions including improving pelvic and knee control, traction manipulation,
