Wouldn't it be great if knee replacement patients had a patient led view of what might happen to them after surgery in terms of pain and function? My first publication is just out! 😃 protect-au.mimecast.com/s/k7lGCyojrJsp…

@JaredPowell12 Or equally feel the need to give specific answers to questions patient may have.

Physio's often 'feel' a proclivity to act when sometimes careful watching and waiting may be preferable. I still struggle with this urge with almost every patient.

Are you a British physio? Does your current wage cover the basics to live? (Rent / food / bills / commute etc) Im curious, how many clinicians are have to work extra shifts/Bank/or have a second job or 'side hustle' to afford basic living costs? Rt if you can. @thecsp

Exercise is “the closest thing there is to a miracle cure” in some great ways. But is it therapy for pain, rehab for injury? I am highly critical of “corrective” exercise…very supportive of playful activity/sport…and I have awkward mixed feelings about progressive loading. 😜

I am not anti-anecdote. I am against giving anecdotes too much weight as a form of evidence. But I always want to hear patients’ stories. They are an amazing source of important questions and inspiration … and both the telling and the listening are inherently valuable.

The only time I’ve ever felt the full benefits of manual therapy is when treating an intubated and ventilated patient on critical care.

Let’s be frank does anyone really know what they’re doing when it comes to applying manual therapy?

BSTO, nil added sounds.
