How do you perceive the meaning of NSLBP? Excellent analysis from @c_hebron @KarimeMescouto & Morten Ekornsaeter on discourses underpinning NSLBP use in research publications and how these different meanings influence research and clinical practice. 👇 doi.org/10.1080/095939…

💡 "Understanding the complexity of spinal pain is important for adapting management to individual needs." - Prof. Þorvaldur Skúli Pálsson 📊 Spinal pain is one of the leading causes of long-term sick leave, second only to depression. Addressing its complexity is crucial for better outcomes. #SpinalPain #SelfManagement #Digi4MSK #MusculoskeletalHealth

Another chance to catch the @anzmusc public lecture given in Adelaide on October 21st featuring presentations of three new trials on the management of musculoskeletal health.

Thanks so much to everyone who attended the 2024 ANZMUSC ASM. We hope that you enjoyed it! #ANZMUSC2024 #MSKhealth 📸 @SimonDavidson88

Great talk from @ArthritisAust at the @anzmusc Scientific Meeting about the significant burden of musculoskeletal disorders and how little funding goes towards research to reduce that burden compared to other health challenges. @PainIMPACTNeuRA

Check out this video from Peter O'Sullivan on how 'movement is medicine' for chronic pain. Learn how small steps like walking or stretching can help 'break the pain cycle' and improve both mental and physical health. youtube.com/watch?v=U4RO8U… #ChronicPain #PainManagement #ChronicPainAustralia

@Tash_Stanton Challenging us to reimagine MSK research #ANZMUSC2024

Kerry Mace from @WAHTN1 leading the ANZBACK session at @anzmusc scientific meeting discussing the importance of consumer involvement in research. A great panel of consumers and researchers giving their tips and experience of seeking consumer input for MSK research.

Well done @Siya_Zhao_ on her presentation at the @anzmusc ASM on how she has involved consumers in her research!

Amazing to see so much consumer involvement from @anzmusc researchers! @rodrizzo_pain improved recruitment to his recent study by consulting consumers and refining participant information

@rodrizzo_pain sharing his experience working with the @ANZBack Consumer and Community Involvement group

@anzmusc public lecture providing a showcase of some of the great MSK research taking place in AUS & NZ, including @MarkHancockPT presenting the Walkback trial (spoiler alert, walking is good for you!). Great to hear the consumer voice and clinician input on studies outcomes.

A great turn out at our EMCR workshop with Hugh Kearns @ithinkwellHugh. We’re enjoying an engaging and very practical discussion on how we can enhance our research performance!
