@nirit_rotem @MSKPhysioJnl Thanks for your comment. The goal wasn’t to find “the best exercise.” I agree there’s no single best option for a complex condition. We simply examined whether any modality showed greater effects on FIQ. In fact, that’s exactly what we found: none is “the best.” Best regard! 🙂

@ajrodom @MSKPhysioJnl Definitely not. Don’t stop researching! We should all stop assigning “best exercise” title to studies. They are actually literally nonsensical . Unlike your research

@nirit_rotem @MSKPhysioJnl Why do you say that? Do you think I should stop researching the effects of different types of exercise?

@ajrodom @MSKPhysioJnl Are we still doing these “best exercise” studies?

Which exercise is most beneficial for treating women with fibromyalgia? A systematic review and network meta-analysis. mskscienceandpractice.com/article/S2468-… Pilates,Aquatic Exercise,& Resistance Exercise ranked highest in the short term,while Dance & Mixed Exercise, highest in the long term.

Thanks for sharing! Just published in @MSKPhysioJnl 🔥🔥🔥

@Retlouping Actually, the "moderate" level of evidence is quite high considering that the nature of active interventions does not allow for blinding of the therapist and patient. Therefore, physical exercise studies can NEVER have "strong" evidence. Best regards!

@Retlouping I have no conflict of interest with the study's results, but suggesting that the results are "overestimated" due to an incorrect and superficial reading of the study doesn't seem right to me

Entrenamiento de fuerza en dolor lumbar crónico. Contesta a este post con tu email si quieres que te envié el estudio completo 😉

😍BARBELLS FOR BACK PAIN😍 Huge bias stroking time… a new systematic review confirms what many of us already know: Resistance training helps many with chronic low back pain! ✅ Less pain ✅ Less disability ✅ Better quality of life tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… And yes I’m aware that not all the results reached clinical significance and the other limitations of this review And yes I know its not going to work well with everyone, and not on its own without education and empowerment! But its a damn sight better than ‘laser-guided electro-dry needling or ‘functional postural realignment therapy’ thats for sure! Less massages and manips… more kettlebells and bands!

🧠 En resumen: El entrenamiento de fuerza reduce el dolor y la discapacidad en el dolor lumbar crónico inespecífico con evidencia moderada. 🎯 Es una intervención eficaz, segura y de alto valor clínico. Si deseas acceso al texto completo, comparte este hilo y escríbeme por MD.

💪 Recomendaciones para la prescripción de ejercicio: 2–3 sesiones/semana × ≥12 semanas 4–6 ejercicios (sentadilla, peso muerto, planchas, remos, crunch, extensiones de espalda) 2–3 series de 10–20 repeticiones a 30–40% 1RM

El dolor lumbar crónico inespecífico #CLBP es una de las principales causas de discapacidad en todo el mundo 🌍 Sabemos que el ejercicio terapéutico se recomienda como primera línea de tto, pero… ¿Qué modalidad es más eficaz? 🧵

‼️Cuando se comparó con tratamientos combinados (ejercicio + educación, etc.), no hubo diferencias significativas. ➡️ Esto sugiere que la fuerza por sí sola ya es muy efectiva, pero si se combina con otro tratamiento los resultados son mejores!
