Take a look at this Literature Review in the upcoming POGP Journal! 📚⭐ "What impact does urinary and anal incontinence have on a woman's quality of life?" #pogp #jpogp #analincontinence #pelvichealth #qualityoflife #urinaryincontinence

We’re inviting women (afab) Internationally to complete this questionnaire & help us understand pelvic pain, pls share! app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/brunel/senso…

I'm 36. Stress controlled me for years so I turned to neuroscience. After 1200+ hours studying elite athletes, CEOs & psychologists, my toolkit is now full of powerful neuro-hacks. Here are the top 7 that will change your life:

Modern Manual Therapy in a Nutshell. aka: What you should have been doing 25 years ago As Supported by Ross, Bereznick and McGill (with a touch of Lehman) 1/

Continuing with posts about models/approaches that have a big impact on my current change practice. This is from Mary Uhl-Bien. For future viability, organisations need all three of the following: 1) Operational leadership to deliver today’s results & loosen up the operational system to be able to accommodate the new order 2) Enabling leadership to create adaptive space (where innovation & operational core can intersect, enabling learning, creativity & change) 3) Entrepreneurial leadership - able to explore, experiment & innovate learninginnovationslab.org/navigating-com… via @KLynBr.

Reflections on Andrew Huberman's podcast: ‘PROTOCOLS TO STRENGTHEN & PAIN PROOF YOUR BACK’

@NatSpineNetwork #NSN2024 Next up we have menopause & MSK health. How often do you ask about genitourinary or sexual function?

@adamdobson123 @NatSpineNetwork Great to be involved today

It is out ! thank you for your patience everyone, happy reading & thanks @JOSPT @mercephysio1 @sue_greenhalgh @IFOMPT @MMUPhysio @aron2web @JeremyLewisPT jospt.org/doi/pdf/10.251…

Part 2 of the head scratcher that is radicular pain without neuropathic involvement. The hot spot theory, supported by Dilley, Bove, and collaborators. An example is provided here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… In short, intact axons generate ectopic discharge without apparent injury 🤔 🔥 ⚡️ According to IASP's definition, neuropathic pain is the consequence of a lesion aka an injury!! To make this concept work, one must concede that inflammatory-radicular pain is nociceptive, even though it involves the axon. See the conundrum. 😩

"Large-scale problems do not require large scale solutions; they require small-scale solutions within a large scale framework" (David Fleming). This relationship between small & large-scale change is a fundamental issue for leaders of change. The @Centre4SysInnov describes a maturing approach to address this: 1. Confetti: multiple, single, focussed projects which slice up the complex reality of people’s lives & are unlikely to create large-scale impact across a system. 2. Spaghetti: a coherence between projects all working towards the same goal that generates potential for multiplication & amplifications of impact. 3: Meatballs & sauce: clusters of ingredients that together create something that is bigger (more tasty!) than these individual parts. The "sauce" keeps projects together so they can amplify, multiply & reinforce each other in practice. See their brilliant (free) guide to enabling large-scale system change: griffith.edu.au/__data/assets/…. TY @LauraJYearsley.

I use MRI in lower back pain 🤭 I also get asked frequently how I manage the scan follow up consults & handle patient Qs So here is a mini-thread which gives a little comms synopsis - some may nod sagely, others may roll their eyes - that’s cool - no right or wrong.

@bailey_jodie Hi Jodie, def would love to and currently do for Birmingham Uni 😊

We are desperate to include a lecture on physiotherapy and pelvic health in our curriculum at BCU. Can you help?!!? Please share , west midlands based colleagues 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The accompanying perspective highlights how the findings provide a basis towards biomarker profiles and therapeutic strategies for #LongCOVID - and possibly other postviral syndromes too. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our work on #LongCovid 🩸 is now out in @ScienceMagazine! We found increased complement activation and markers of thromboinflammation in patients with active Long Covid. 1/ doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

2/2. Additional information can be found on the @UKPoTS website: #LongCovid #PoTS #Dysautonomia potsuk.org

1/2. Many p/w #LongCovid have symptoms of #PoTS, such as: 🚨Persistent increase in heart rate on standing 🚨Dizziness 🚨Fatigue 🚨Breathlessness @LOCOMOTIONstudy’s piece in @bmj_latest contains great information for Healthcare Professionals and patients: bmj.com/content/380/bm…

After a long wait, our longitudinal long COVID study is finally published in @NatureComms: nature.com/articles/s4146…. We find a skeletal muscle alterations in patients with #longcovid, which worsen with exercise. 1/n
