Musculoskeletal Clinical Anatomy

Musculoskeletal Clinical Anatomy is a podcast produced under the PM&R umbrella that focuses on the anatomical foundations of musculoskeletal medicine. The show is designed for physiatrists, sports medicine physicians, and other clinicians who need a solid understanding of anatomy as it applies to clinical practice. Episodes break down the anatomy of specific joints, muscle groups, and neural structures, connecting structural knowledge to clinical examination, diagnosis, and treatment. This podcast is particularly valuable for residents learning musculoskeletal examination techniques and for physicians who perform ultrasound-guided procedures, where precise anatomical knowledge is essential. The show also covers anatomical considerations relevant to electrodiagnostic studies, injection techniques, and surgical referral decision-making. Rather than presenting anatomy in the abstract way a textbook might, the podcast ties every anatomical concept back to clinical relevance, answering the question that every busy clinician asks: why does this matter for my patients? The focused approach makes episodes useful as a targeted review before performing a specific procedure or examining a patient with a particular complaint. For PM&R professionals whose practice involves significant musculoskeletal work, this podcast provides a foundational resource that can be revisited as needed. It fills the gap between medical school anatomy courses and the clinical application that drives rehabilitation medicine practice.
