The hurling league final 2026 took place in the Gaelic Grounds in the heart of the treaty. Limerick v Cork. Old foes. Ancient rivals. Near neighbours. Old scores to settle. Here’s my opinion on what went down for what it is worth. #gaa #hurling #Limerick #Cork #pov

@TDekkersPhysio Amazing achievements Tom. I think you should also add, survived the ‘toxicity’ of ‘X’. I continue to learn from your posts. 🤌🏻

Goodbye, old friend... 367 Pages, 83606 words, 7 years, >7,000 hours. All while in full-time clinical practice. A lot of life happened alongside — got married, became a dad (twice), changed jobs, bought a house.... Kept it moving forward over time thanks to my amazing supervisors @DKieranCollins @kieranosull @Blake_Cath @mcveigh_joe Proud to have seen this through. PhD Thesis submitted ✅

@simon_ingram13 Hello Simon, could you follow me please. I wish to ask you a question related to your research paper on the experiences of uncertainty in FCPs

@Retlouping Thank you for giving an helpful response as always David.

@BrianCarroll83 I fiddle about with a few AI 🤖 I use google and notebookLM AI quite a bit too. Grok is easy, just click the icon and type away.

Where does dogma come from? The Guru’s own mouth generally.

@Retlouping Thanks David, to parody yourself, I’m a bit of a ‘numpty’ when it comes to the use of tech.

@BrianCarroll83 I use Grok here on X

@northwoods1980 @PhysioNetwork Could you elaborate on what the ignorance is that you refer to?

@PhysioNetwork Yes. Old information but much ignorance still exists on this topic.

Your patient’s MRI might be “abnormal”… but that doesn’t mean it’s the problem. This landmark study (Brinjikji et al. 2015) looked at >3,000 asymptomatic people. What they found: → Disc degeneration in 37% of 20-year-olds → 96% of 80-year-olds → Disc bulges in 30% of 20-year-olds → 84% of 80-year-olds → Most “degenerative findings” increase steadily with age And importantly: These people had NO pain. But here’s the part most people miss: This doesn’t mean imaging is irrelevant. A follow-up meta-analysis (Brinjikji et al. 2015) found: → Several findings (disc bulge, extrusion, degeneration, Modic 1) are more common in people with pain → The association is stronger in younger patients (<50) → Some findings show no clear relationship with pain (e.g. many annular fissures, stenosis)

@NickIlic_Physio I can understand the questions you may ask related to bladder function re:? CES . Changes to urinary function and non mechanical provocation of symptoms. What info are you getting when Ax BP? I presume you don’t check BP for every back pain presentation?

If you are a healthcare provider who treats back pain and don't ask for medical history including renal/kidney stuff: Start now. Understand renal function Know renal referral patterns Check/communicate with GPs Take BP Educate patients You could be the one to spot kidney pain.

@DrJN_SportsMed HI James, if you don’t mind. Why a CT > MRI?

4 months after discharge, updated CT scan shows still not fused naturally, but some progress still got bilateral sciatica and footdrop, but manageable In the meantime, just getting it done in the gym Can now squat, single leg bridge, bench press, row So, chipping away at it

@BWhybrowPhysio Hi Ben, I think the answer might be that ‘it depends’ but in your role, do you often direct patients towards evidence informed resources or do you give tailored advice to the patient without these resources?

@k8purcellphysio @tomgoom @lizbayleyphysio @physiojack This may sound simple & controversial but I just tell them to start with what’s tolerable and gradually increase it over time 🤷‍♂️ And wear compression clothing if it helps them feel more supported.

Any good resources for running, strength & conditioning for a person with hypermobility? Ideally something that encourages load management, recovery, exercise suggestions, tips/tricks - but not too instructive? Thanks! @tomgoom @lizbayleyphysio @physiojack @BWhybrowPhysio

@k8purcellphysio @tomgoom @lizbayleyphysio @physiojack @BWhybrowPhysio Hi Kate, is the information you’re looking for intended for your consumption or is it patient facing info?

@Hybridathlete Pilot

Every year you say, "this is the year." Every year, you quit by February. The problem isn't motivation; it's that you're doing it alone (and following a bad program). On Jan 12, we start the Hybrid Foundation Pilot. Reply "PILOT" to join. More details below. 👇

@BWhybrowPhysio Thank you very much Ben 👍🏻

@BrianCarroll83 These aren’t specific to this exact situation but are about cognitive reassurance: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC55… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23872104/

This is why clinicians needed to be skilled in effective cognitive reassurance @EvoolvePainCare
