@AdamMeakins a millionty years ago you posted a video showing the practical application of resistance training in later life (getting something from under the coffee table, carrying shopping bags etc etc). Any chance you have a link to it? I can't find the link I had

@CORUIreland @gillian51255942 @ginnyhanrahan1 @iscp_pd @_ISCP_ @marieomir

@CORUIreland Today I applied to open a Credit Union a/c & made a hotel reservation both of which gave me the option of Mx as a title (which is still unnecessary info) but @CORUIreland still only offer No_Title for their non Ms/Mr registrants. Do better CORU @gillian51255942 @ginnyhanrahan1

It's that time of year when @CORUIreland show that their "solution" for requiring unnecessary data (under GDPR) wasn't set up in the system well. Not offering non binary titles but insisting on requiring registrants use a title ends up looking like this in formal communication

@physiotutorium For me it is "what do you want from your stick?" General stabiliser, low key community notification, no WB? Hiking stick Some WB, more obvious community notification, like to hang it over the arm of the chair? Classic walking stick (which can come in a folding version)

Doing an n=2 trial on walking stick grips here. My opinion is that the hiking stick grip & design is better than the walking stick grip & design. Hiking stick.folds nicely & less.of a trip hazard in restaurants etc. Any thoughts or evidence?

@stable_program That is beautiful <3

This is Peggy. 95 yo next Friday. 1-year ago she fell. No injuries. But had a 6-hour long-lie. She couldn't get up with her husband's assistance...even pulling up on a chair. Physios: Teach your clients how to get up off the ground.

@muinteoirmama @ciaraquill I have had grammar errors like that arrive home in school communications. I have also had English teachers say that they SEEN something

I winced when I saw this on a wedding reception seating plan in a Sligo hotel 👀 this afternoon. #your #youre

@LaterLifeTrain @AJMeggitt @CaledonianNews @StrongmanClare @GCUSHLS @GCUReach It is OK if I email too?

@physiotutorium My context reference was a patient in a NH for social reasons. NH on one level so no need for stairs. H/V to son's house every weekend meant stairs to access the WC & kiss grandchildren goodnight. We practiced stairs.

@physiotutorium It is all about context. I would ask them to think of situations, or contexts, in which doing a specific task would be perceived valuable or rewarding

Proper Inspirational Patient Centred Goal. Different on so many levels to independent with quad stick X 30m. Why do I find this so hard to teach students?

@physiotutorium I’m with the coach on this one. People live in larger bodies, add resistance and don’t blow their knees

@lore33x My S&C coach was trying to get me to use a kettle bell squatting tonight. I refused & explained that I already have 40 more kgs thru my 54yr old knees & achilles than these skinny wenches, just no. I accept the cardiologist is inevitable but I m determined to avoid the orthopod.

So this obese gal has spent 4 months training & completed a 10k run. Doing S&C most weeks. My GP just emailed me that my cholesterol is up 1.5 clicks & I haven't lost a lb & she wants to discuss lifestyle changes

@physiotutorium You have a choice. You can look for peace or you can fight it. I’ve spent 35 years fighting it. Finding peace is hard. I was marinated in anti fat bias & fat phobia. It’s hard to walk away from what I know.

@lore33x Yes. I ve no choice really.

@physiotutorium Thank you. I’ve been around, just not in this form. Doing a lot of exploration of finding peace in the body you’re in, not the one society says you should be in.

@lore33x I love that sentiment & welcome back. I haven't *seen* you around for ages.

@AbbyWambach just said “This is called Lore” I feel seen & want it as my ringtone

Delighted to speak with @IrishTimes about urgent need to reform legislation and allow physios refer for xrays. This is common practice internationally. It will improve access for patients and reduce costs. @gemda @_ISCP_ @WeHSCPs @DonnellyStephen

In Ireland, physiotherapists are not legally permitted to refer patients for X-rays, as they are not one of the health professionals included in the legislation governing referrals for these investigations @IrishTimes Health & Family (page 11: 02/08/2022)

@DecathlonIE As you can see from the screen grab below, the Gender field (which is not actually a gender question but that is a topic for another day) is required. This is the error message when the save button is clicked. This is a GDPR breech as it is unnecessary information

@lore33x Hi Lore, gender is a field in membership sign up. However, it is not required. It is optional, with the main purpose being for targeted product recommendations within our newsletters & as some products are designed in gender specific ways it leads to a more tailored experience.

@DecathlonIE Why do you have "Gender" as a required field in order to set up an account?

@Sitdownaj That Venn diagram is a circle!
