More Bees, More Knees with Erik Meira DPT

We are excited to be joined by Dr. Erik Meira, DPT. Erik is a consultant physical therapist in Portland, Oregon. He is a Board Certified Sports Clinical Specialist and an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with extensive experience in the management of sports injuries at many different levels. He also created and oversees the PT Podcast Network.

In today’s episode, Elliott and Ben sat down with Dr. Meira for a lengthy session. Topics include incorporating evidence into practice, understanding patient values and how this sits in the evidence based funnel, and then dives into some pragmatic information on ACL and patellofemoral pain management, including conditioning and testing methods. Finally, we hear a great take on how economics and incentives may be barriers when it comes to offering high quality and ethical therapy.
