@phoenikia @hjluks Other loading works too, impact for example. You don't HAVE to do heavy lifting but you CAN.

@hjluks What is someone supposed to do if they are told not to lift more than 30 lbs due to a cardiac restriction, while also dealing with osteoporosis?

Please stop telling people with osteoporosis not to lift anything heavy... I've heard it from docs, PTs, Trainers, etc... This might seem protective... but it's not. This risk calculation... A hip fracture in an older adult carries a one-year mortality rate of roughly 25 percent. Half of those who survive never walk independently again. That is the cost of fragility. The risk of a well-supervised, progressively loaded heavy (80-85% 1RM) strength program (LIFTMOR) is a muscle strain or a bruise. These are not equivalent risks, and treating them as equivalent, as avoidance does, is not caution. It is a decision to accept the larger risk in order to avoid the smaller one.

@hjluks @Fit_For_Golf Yep yep yep, this is not permeating clinical practice as fast as it should be.

Signed up, mucho ladies & gentlemen. @TPMPodcast @physiojack Mainly to see my boy @BWhybrowPhysio fly but sure it will be interesting across the board. See you Tuesday 😎

@AdamMeakins Funny My advice is to stop being a turd 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@physiojack That’s one of the more mundane comments that I can share without the physio police telling me off… again!

If you post on social media and accept the praise and positivity but can’t accept the criticism and negativity then you shouldn’t be posting on social media! Being on social media means opening yourself up to comments and opinions you didn’t ask for and don’t like!
