Excellent paper showing that early return to work (RTW) leads to faster improvements in pain and function in acute LBP (in predominantly blue-collar workers 👨🏻‍🏭👷🏻‍♀️). LOADS of implications from this study. Great discussion. Get reading! #OpenAccess pdfs.journals.lww.com/joem/2018/1000…

@MitchHamer @AdamMeakins My only concern with sprain/strain is that LBP quite often exceeds the timescales expected of one (about 35% still experiencing Sx after 6/52 by memory). Is there a risk that this leads them to question the diagnosis at a later date and ? perceive their condition to be serious?

Hmmm non-specific… not so bad! 🤔

@marksandspencer @curiekphd I actually prefer them like this, Denise. Please keep them this way. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏽 Oh, and, Merry Xmas!

@curiekphd Looks like we've made some changes to the recipe, Curie :( I'll let the team know we've got some work to do to make this product Top of the Tubs! Best wishes, Denise

Hello @marksandspencer WHERE'S THE CHOCOLATE BOTTOM GONE? 😭

@AdamMeakins @marklaslett_NZ But diagnosis isn’t important, right? 😏

In today’s clinic I diagnosed a large degenerative cuff tear, an ulna neuropathy at the cubital tunnel, and a very likely case of scaphoid AVN… not bad for “just a psychologically informed S&C coach” eh @marklaslett_NZ ☺️

Time to bust the myth about a minimally effective dose of 10000 steps/day for health. The health benefits start with the first step. A little activity goes a long way. Pass on the message to all your patients! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So this happened yesterday. Honestly? We are broken. This account is run by just three frontline NHS staff. In truth at least two of us are having a wobble. If you support what we are doing and think we are needed please will you follow and retweet this to your followers? 🙏🏻

@DerekGriffin86 @Gavstrabane He didn’t write the article himself!

@Gavstrabane The article claims this is an "elite mindset". As if he is doing something that others are missing out on. While they are probably sleeping!

So let me get this right! He postponed sleep for a recovery session! 🤔 givemesport.com/1753882-mohame…

@DerekGriffin86 I’ve heard on a few occasions footballers describing finding it difficult to sleep after a night match. Perhaps that’s the case here and he’s just using the time as he sees fit.

@AdamMeakins @aaron_physio @ClinicianBetter

@CWrightPhysio @aaron_physio @ClinicianBetter Again this doesn’t show specific exercises outperform other exercise for radiculopathy! This just shows behavioural intervention (whatever that is) doesn’t add anything significant to exercise!

Are SPECIFIC neck exercises more effective than general physical activity on neck pain? It would seem.....NOT! "participants improved regardless of the intervention received" THREAD 1/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30473018/

@AdamMeakins @aaron_physio @ClinicianBetter Neck and arm pain + neuro deficits - sounds like radiculopathy to me. And the group without the behavioural intervention also had better outcomes than the general physical activity group.

@CWrightPhysio @aaron_physio @ClinicianBetter This is comparing exercise with or without a behavioural approach after whiplash! It’s NOT comparing different types of exercise against each other! 🤨

@AdamMeakins @aaron_physio @ClinicianBetter pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32317700/

@CWrightPhysio @aaron_physio @ClinicianBetter Do you actually know of any trials showing superiority of a type of exercise for cervical radiculopathy? If so please share it… I’m all ears and neck!

@aaron_physio @ClinicianBetter Plenty of other papers with contradictory findings, as if often the case. Pick your poison.

@ClinicianBetter Follow the evidence no matter where it leads.... #KickInTheBias Thanks for sharing 👍

@physiojack What you *can* do in them is repel members of the opposite sex.

Do Physio's in the NHS still wear those insane blue trousers? I know there was a uniform consultation going recently. I was reminded of them recently and how you can't do anything in them, squat, walk, sit, stand still...

Great paper by @bak_elin and colleagues showing a steep decline in fitness in our society, but in particular among blue collar and low skilled workers. We need to do better for socioeconomic health inequalities not to further increase. mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/i…
