Our new BJSM publication 🆕 🦶 We achieved consensus for the key diagnostic domains and conditions you should consider when assessing Achilles tendinopathy. bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/… Figure 1 summarises the recommended diagnostic process A huge thank you to all 50+ authors 👏

I know no one reads blogs anymore but here is one I've just done on Blood Flow Restriction training that may upset a few people... enjoy... or dont! 😝 adammeakins.com/blog/is-it-tim…

If my calculations are right the fat cat boss of @stwater Liv Garfield has now earned over £31,000,000 since taking over the company in 2014. Bloody hell! All that for running a monopoly providing drinking water to customers with no choice. How hard can it be? theguardian.com/business/2024/…

@DrPeteMalliaras A full analysis of why this may have happened is a better place to start rather than random treatments. Load intensity, fatigue, strength deficits and ensuring no other injuries coming on eg early chondromalacia etc etc

4/4 No judgement, what do you think? (please leave comments to explain your answer)

1/1🤔Can you find the questionable advice in this treatment saga? (there's a poll at the end) #MythBusting #HealthFails 🏃‍♂️ Background: 35-year-old marathoner, developed patellar tendinopathy symptoms post marathon in November 2023. Only painful after running, not during.

🏥 Our 2️⃣nd event of the 2023/2024 season is on ➡️ INJECTIONS IN FOOTBALL 📔 Monday 22nd January 2024 ➡️ Registration LINK below rb.gy/reng8o

This was one of the stand out presentations from the conference. For anyone who wants to know how to progress tendon load for the patellar tendon this is the paper

Blue skies in Valencia for the world tendon meeting 2023

@pdkirwan @_ISCP_ @Seth0Neill @tomgoom @physiojack @thekneeresource @TendonGlasgow @JarrodAntflick @fizziowizzio Great concise summary of salient tendon questions to ask Paul

After this mornings #tendinopathy presentation #ISCPConf23 some were asking for a copy of my assessment form which I've been using. Please feel free to use/share and would love to hear if its useful. SCREENDEM and think of the ABCs to build

Really enjoying presenting at the BSR case conference in Liverpool today. Great cases and debates

A great privilege to share this hallowed turf with my wee bro on his last gig with BBC TV. 20 years is some shift Andy. 👏👏👏 @AndyNic9

Researchers studied the effects of a 20-minute walk on the cognitive performance of a group of children. This is fascinating…

Did you know⁉️ The 6th International Scientific Tendinopathy Symposium 2023 will be held in Valencia 🇪🇸 World Tendon Conference‼️ ✔️ the latest research and best practices in the field of tendon ℹ️ more details coming soon #ISTStendon #tendon #tendinopathy #research #rehab

@kashakhtar @gregthephysio Hi Greg hope you’re keeping well. I agree with Kash here - good clinical assessment really important. Treatment of the patient not the scan important. Having said that I’d also make sure the MRI is good quality and reported by a good MSK sports radiologist

@gregthephysio Assuming no meniscal or cartilage injury, no history of instability or mechanical symptoms, negative Lachman, pivot shift and dial, then reasonable to try non-operative management first in a controlled environment with progressive load and challenge

Some thoughts appreciated please: 16yo academy footballer with partial (75%) ACL rupture. All other structures intact. Nil sensation of instability. ACLR or rehab and see how progresses? Is age and sport a factor for primary repair in a case like this? #ACL #ACLR #knees

@Angie_Hulst @tomgoom 12 weeks is a long time to wait for an MRI report, your trust is presumably struggling. You may get some help going through PALS or other hospital procedures

@tomgoom Thanks Tom I will give this a go, my local said they can’t import MRIs without a report so hopefully GP can assist

Anyone know the rules on how to get access to an MRI - been told report will be done in 12 weeks and wondered if I can request this to be outsourced? #mri #acl

@TendonImaging Great pictures. Treated appropriately the gouty Tophus will eventually resolve no indication for surgery / intervention. A great example of how metabolic conditions can affects tendons

How’s the gout in this Achilles 😳

@DrJN_SportsMed Hi James. The SIJ and T-spine don’t look particularly inflammatory for a 40 year old. The CVJ possibly. Be interesting to see if responds well to Cox-2. Any H/O psoriasis or IBD in family? Any additional enthesitis? Thanks

With consent Male 40s - R thoracic & gluteal pain (wrapping into pelvis) Night & early am Initial onset with running but now unrelated to sport MRI - subtle inflammatory lesions - oedema at R T9 costovertebral joint, TSp disc endplates & SI joint ? Axial Spondyloarthritis

Limits are there to be broken. By you and me together. I can say that I am beyond happy today that the official world record is once again faster. Thank you to all the runners in the world that inspire me every day to push myself.

Wow! Two things I #love they are #squats and free access course. Awesome stuff @consultantPT
