Episode description
Sports physiotherapists provide evidence-based treatment for back pain. Unfortunately surgery for back pain has rather poor outomes. Tiger Woods has spinal surgery on March 31, 2014 and did not return to his previous level of play. He went under the knife again on September 16, 2015. In this podcast, Curtin University’s Professor Peter O’Sullivan comments on the risks and possible benefits of surgery in an elite golfer.
