Don't need to say a lot here. Stunning photo of Shane Lowry on the 16th green, with the town of Portrush behind him and the sun showing the way to the hole.

My first ever 2-day face-to-face Mastering Lumbar Radiculopathy course in Leeds is now finito. Eeeeek! What a lovely lot — passion, banter, and debate. I was made to feel very welcome. Cheers, Jen.

Flexed some content never seen before. Website’s on the cusp of launching. Loads of food for thought.

@AndyParnham1965 @DeputyMayorPCWY @ConnectingLeeds @ArmleyLabour That bridge is an absolute nightmare for residents of Kirkstall Avenue. Once again damaged. Once again Kirkstall Avenue being used as a main road.

@Irish_Physio It’s premature. We know that from the research but we’ll see how it goes. Just look at the strapping..

[Darragh Mc Gee @DMGPhysio]

@AdamStenman @adamdobson123 That’s insane.

Kudos to @PeteOSullivanPT for an awesome evidence based rational optimistic podcast on chronic pain with @drchatterjeeuk

If you work with anyone in pain or have it yourself… listen to this!

Explainer video on science of why the 400m sprint is considered the most painful track & field event.

And why “no person on the planet can run the 400m all out from start to finish".

The race pushes the way the body creates energy to the limit:

▫️0-50 meters: ATP-CP (energy system for very short and explosive movements; used up after 5-10 seconds)

▫️50-200 meters: Anaerobic glycolysis (burns glucose without oxygen, leading to lactic acid buildup and muscle fatigue)

▫️200-300 meters: Aerobic energy (uses oxygen to break down glucose, but cannot keep up with the demand)

▫️300-400 meters: Anaerobic energy reserves tapped while aerobic energy is too slow to fill the gaps (lactic acid buildup is going HAM)

Track athletes can pace for longer distances and shorter ones are just over quicker (obvs).

The Olympic record is a blazing 43:03, set by South African runner Wayde van Niekerk in 2016 (and 2024 Final race is tomorrow).

This is literally why #NHSfunding for rehabilitation after any sort of critical illness cannot be an after thought. Organ support, drugs & acute care saves lives - access to rehab saves people.

Thanks for sharing your journey #rehablegend

Good question!

[Ben Whybrow @BWhybrowPhysio]

You’re seeing a patient who has widespread pain for the past 15 years.

During the appointment they turn to you and ask:

“Will I ever be pain free?”

What would you say?

[Darragh Mc Gee @DMGPhysio]

@Andy_henson94 Don’t you start 😂

[Darragh Mc Gee @DMGPhysio]

🚨This isn’t rehab, this is torture🚨

It always surprises me the calibre of people that end up/are allowed to work at this level with a pro athlete.
I’d love to know how they get into that position in the first place.

No one needs to be in that much pain during “rehab”

🚨🇧🇷 Neymar Jr posts video showing scenes of his ACL injury recovery… 😫

"1 month of crying and a lot of pain! KEEP GOING!"

He's now walking with crutches. 🩼

[Darragh Mc Gee @DMGPhysio]

@lizbayleyphysio From Neymars own account! A guy that has literally 200+million followers 😩 They’ve brainwashed him into thinking this is normal and acceptable.

Let's chat about frozen shoulders... A 🧵

There are a few ortho conditions that can make a mess of things due to its natural history, initial presentation, and progression.
Frozen shoulders are one of those diagnoses.

[James Noake @DrJN_SportsMed]

After a hip or knee intra-articular injection, how long would you typically insist on waiting before proceeding to arthroplasty re infection risk?

[Darragh Mc Gee @DMGPhysio]

@DrJN_SportsMed They seem to love the Axilla crutches across the pond too
