I think there are lots of opportunities for physios to incorporate more CBT strategies into treatment with patients. And remember it’s always going to be a spectrum of how far you push into those principles. Not everyone needs as much support #physio #physicaltherapy

Lots of issues with the idea of core stability. One of the things is that muscle timing change and co contraction increase with lower back pain, this then leads to the "tests" used to detect core stability being positive.

Do you incorporate movement experiments into your practice? 🤔 youtu.be/9IV1EqLr58g?...

If you’re still debating is the physio hands on versus hands off you’re kind of behind the times just saying #physio #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #medicine #manualtherapy #massage

While there is a small amount of data about this, there does seem to be benefits. If someone can train at longer lengths it seems to improve growth, and strength #fitness #physicaltherapy #physio #physiotherapy #health #wellness

Not exactly a novel idea but why aren't we in rehab paying more attention to the use of exercises at longer muscle lengths? #physio #fitness #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #medicine

Always weird to see people with extremity issues in the clinic and a therapist hands them the same weight for both sides. #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy

It's always hard when our medical system lacks cohesive messaging and understanding of persistent pain issues.
Sometimes you feel like you're on an island #physio #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #medicine #healthcare #pain #chronicpain

Interesting how my thoughts surrounding PNE have changed since being introduced to the concept. Now it's just a part of normal conversation and natural education versus
"intervention" but seems many still think of it as a treatment

Interesting how if you think about many messages we give to patients how they don't line up with each other. Which for some people can lead to confusion if they stop and think about your recommendations #physicaltherapy #physio #physiotherapy #medicine #healthcare #pain

Funny when people say do your own research

Like I havent made a career out of understanding research in the medical field and conveying that information in a practical way specifically to health care workers. I have dabbled in doing unique research myself.

Love hearing physios tell patients they need to see a specialist when the issue is something within our management capacity #physio #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy

Just a thought but it would be nice if a study could at least include their intervention descriptions in an appendix so l don't have to read 1-2 other studies to understand what you did. Or somewhere describe what was said to participants and how it was done #medicine #physio #physicaltherapy

Do patients really want only pain relief?
Or do they struggle because it impacts who they want to be/ are and how they enact that in the world? #physio #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy

Louis Gifford was someone I think the #physio world wasn’t ready for at the time and I still don’t know if most people would be. I really wish I bought his books sooner #physicaltherapy #chiro #medicine #healthcare #physiotherapy

From the ACSM Combined Report 2008:
"Injuries are more likely to happen when people are more physically active than usual, and the risk is related to the size of the increase. #fitness #physio #physicaltherapy #medicine #health

Interesting that MDT is so resistant to explaining directional preference beyond biomechanics sometimes and embracing contemporary pain sciences. Getting my posts off Twitter because we all know why #physio #physicaltherapy #chiro #MDT #mckenzie #pain #science

Would it hurt people’s feelings if I said periodization in training isn’t a must? #fitness #training #health #squat #bench #deadlift #bodybuilding #powerlifting

Can you guess who had more pain? And why do you think that? Let’s discuss the complexity of pain #pain #physio #physicaltherapy #chiro #healthcare #medicine

Really enjoy the work of Simon Descary on examination of the knee and other areas supporting components of history being very useful for clinical diagnosis. Turns out in lots of cases patients will tell you what’s wrong #medicine #healthcare #physio

The literature on ice baths/cold water immersion is honestly hilarious. It's like they took the most advanced measurement techniques only to
"forget" what effect sizes are when writing the discussion. #icebaths #physio #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #chiro #fitness

Why do you think some coworkers feel threatened by those who prioritize staying up-to-date on the latest evidence-based practices?

"You're just taking simple things and making it more complex then it needs to be"
But if we are so good why are our patients so bad? Patrick wall. This is still an issue decades later #physiotherapy #physio #physicaltherapy #medicine #chronicpain #medicine #healthcare

At this point I don't think people actually have the attention span to learn anything about working with humans besides "it's
complex" #healthcare #physicaltherapy #chiro #physio #physiotherapy #medicine
