To encourage people to perform this behaviour, a multicomponent intervention is required to improve capability by understanding the benefits, opportunity by utilizing social support and motivation by creating goals and action planning.

Dispelling myths takes time😅

[Andrew Natoli @Andrewexphys]

The general public as well as physiotherapists evaluate spinal flexion as dangerous regardless of their own low back pain history

Great recommendations.
Confirms my bus that goal setting is more than just setting goals and we should start using the term “goal directed behaviour change” more in literature to relay a better message

I always wanted to be a scientist. In my undergrad I was eager to be a clinician, in my honours I was eager to be a researcher, now in my PhD I’m eager to be eager.

@DerekGriffin86 How come we are using this as an outcome measure even though we know discs and bones adapt with movement and don’t directly correlate to pain?

Most clinical trials enrol 'ideal' patients—under 75, with few comorbidities, good treatment adherence, and wonderful follow-up.
But how do we apply these results to the many patients who don’t fit these criteria?
Real-life patients are often far more complex.

Even more pertinent when you consider that chronic pain is perceived as the most bothersome condition of chronic pain with multimorbidity

[Derek Griffin @DerekGriffin86]

When an RCT in the MSK pain field excludes people with significant co-morbidities, they effectively address a lower risk group with more favourable outcomes. There is a big gap in the research addressing the more complex presentations.

[Andrew Natoli @Andrewexphys]

My thoughts:
Health education and pain education may need to join forces for better chronic MSK pain care

"health education may have positive effects on symptom severity, depression and anxiety and contribute to improved sleep quality and physical function among patients with FM. However, no significant effects were noted on pain, fatigue and self-efficacy..."

One for my S&C/Hypertrophy lovers out there

[Andrew Natoli @Andrewexphys]

I just extracted data for 5 outcome measures from a single paper that had short, medium, and long term follow ups some with medians some with means.
Some woth SDs some with 95%CIs.

My brain is 😵‍💫 now
