Abstract: Professional rugby is an aggressive sport. Consequently, injuries are an inevitable part of a rugby player's career. It is therefore crucial for sports medicine professionals to understand the subjective experience of injured athletes in order to optimize their care. The purpose of this study was to take a lifeworld perspective to explore how living with injury was meaningful to professional rugby players. A purposive s le of five participants were recruited and data collection undertaken via semi-structured interviews. Audio-recordings were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis methodology to develop the themes. Three master themes emerged from the analysis, each comprising of two subthemes 1) Sense of Uncertainty (1a. Fear of the Unknown, 1b. Lack of Control), 2) Experienced Change in Relationships (2a. Lived Human Relations, 2b. Coping), 3) Sense of Self (3a. Isolation and Belonging, 3b. ''Being" an Athlete). Participants described the challenge to their sense of self and 'being' athletes', as the isolation from the team deprived them of their sense of belonging. Participants illustrated the experienced significance of their relationships, the uncertainty over their lives and the unique strategies to cope. Emotions of anxiety, grief, anger, and shock reverberate throughout their accounts.

Abstract: With conflicting evidence regarding the effectiveness of manual therapy calls have arisen within some quarters of the physiotherapy profession challenging the continued use of manual skills for assessment and treatment. A reconceptualisation of the importance of manual examination findings is put forward, based upon a contemporary understanding of pain science, rather than considering these skills only in terms of how they should "guide" manual therapy interventions. The place for manual examination findings within complex, multidimensional presentations is considered using vignettes describing the presentations of five people with low back pain. As part of multidimensional, in idualised management, the balance of evidence relating to the effectiveness, mechanisms of action and rationale for manual skills is discussed. It is concluded that if manual examination and therapeutic skills are used in a manner consistent with a contemporary understanding of pain science, multidimensional patient profiles and a person-centred approach, their selective and judicious use still has an important role.
