107: Knee Deep: Understanding Baker’s Cysts (with Whitney Lowe & Til Luchau)

The Thinking Practitioner

Baker's cysts, the most common cyst behind the knee, affect about 20% of all people. When painful, they can limit mobility and impact quality of life. In this episode, Til interviews Whitney about what Baker’s cysts are, what we as hands-on therapists can do about them, and how we can broaden the lens about the benefits of our work.
