In this episode with Claire Patella we explore an interesting case study on a real patient of hers - a patient who presents suffering with bilateral Hoffa’s Fat pain. We cover:

• Differential diagnosis of Hoffa’s Fat pad pain
• Role of the entire kinetic chain
• Key, expert tips for management of this condition
• Specific evidence-based exercises for treatment
• How to manage patient setbacks

This episode is closely tied to Claire’s case study she did with us. With case studies, you can see how top clinicians manage real-world cases and apply their strategies to get better results with your patients.
