Some of the best conversations happen when old paths cross again. Recently, I reconnected with Nancy Venables — specialist ESP shoulder physiotherapist at St. Albans City Hospital (NHS). We worked together over 20 years ago at Barnet and Chase Farm Hospital. Back then, the landscape looked very different. -No ultrasound in clinic. -No image-guided injections. -A lot more guesswork. Comparing notes on how practice has evolved was fascinating — and one theme kept coming up: Ultrasound is transforming shoulder management. Here's why it matters: -It elevates diagnostic confidence at the point of care — no waiting weeks for imaging reports -It improves accuracy for guided injections, which directly enhances patient outcomes -The shoulder, with its superficial structures and dynamic pathology, lends itself exceptionally well to high-quality ultrasound assessment People often associate me with hip and groin work. Fair enough — it's a big part of what I do, along with complex running injuries. But shoulder ultrasound and ultrasound-guided procedures are a significant part of my NHS APP clinical practice too. GH joint injections under US guidance remain one of the most satisfying procedures I perform. Nancy is now planning to implement ultrasound-guided procedures within her service. I think this is the direction of travel for advanced practice clinics everywhere — bringing greater precision, efficiency, and tangible patient benefit. The profession is moving forward, especially in Advanced Practice. And conversations like this remind me why.

@thomas_jesson Hi Tom, just wondering how specific myotome testing is to the level of radiculopathy ? Any insight would be helpful or signposting me to relevant literature. Thanks

You're lying on the floor on your back. The instructor grabs your crotch & nipples, shoves his saliva-wet fingers in your ears, then jokingly asks if you feel like a virgin. For laughs. What other profession would tolerate this? What is wrong with us? youtu.be/77Ov6rXag_k

@DrSethPT I don’t feel confident in this in the sense that if there was an abnormality I wouldn’t know how to approach it

I once started a talk asking who thought they did a thorough job “screening for red flags.” Nearly 100% said yes. Then asked who regularly did cranial nerve exams. Literally NO ONE said yes.

The clinic is currently jam packed with spring marathon runners struggling with knee pain, worried they won’t make the start line. One strategy thats helping many to reduce pain and continue with their goals is to increase their step rate 1/5🧵

@RobYeldham @BleasdaleJoanne @physiospilz @thecsp It’s a disgrace Rob. Reject. Don’t talk to the Gov until it’s above inflation. On top of Nurses being offered talks for different pay bands away from AfC? No mention of this from the CSP. Absolutely useless. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

4k @thecsp physiotherapists are striking today. They were there during Covid drafted onto ICU wards to prone patients. They ensure people recover faster and get back to their life sooner. They keep patients out of hospital. People like me don't write nearly enough about them.

Physios often ask me why I keep studying as a clinician…My answer to them is, so I can try & solve difficult clinical problems …so a power lifter 2 months post ACLR asked me if they can squat and deadlift with body weight + 100kg because it’s well below their PB ? 1/1 cont
