Andreas Remis joins the podcast to unpack low back pain in a way that finally makes sense — bridging APTA CPG classifications, real-world clinical diagnosis, and the confusing world of radiographic findings.
As faculty across multiple fellowships and residencies within the Duke Health System — and an educator shaped by his own poor rehab experience as a patient — Andreas brings a thoughtful, grounded approach to one of PT’s most complex conditions.
In this episode:
• LBP classification: CPG vs imaging vs clinical reasoning
• How expert clinicians simplify diagnosis
• Why radiographs often mislead clinicians and patients
• The turning point when PTs begin to feel “value-confident”
• Teaching LBP across OMPT pipelines
• Lessons Andreas learned from being a failed patient
It’s a must-listen episode for clinicians, residents, and fellows treating low back pain.
