👉Higher eCRF was associated with lower odds of chronic pain and with more favorable changes in pain severity in the general population.

Consent ✅
Retired nurse, 60s
Decade of flank / loin pain - perceived around thoracolumbar junction (blue cross)
Extensive MSK, renal and GI investigations - no diagnosis forthcoming
CT and MRI of spine reported normal
On systematic palpation / PA glide in prone, her pain is actually provoked more inferiorly (green cross)
POCUS video - calcific changes at 12 rib interface with spine, correlating with her pain - there is no true costotransverse joint at this level, rather ligamentous attachments- so this represents an enthesopathy / 'ligamentopathy'
US guided LA & CSI - complete abolition of pain after 10 years! (see enthusiastic gyrating - sound on)
"After an acute ACL injury, the ligament can regain continuity that is associated with better knee stability"
Some of the findings from our March #ResearchReport on #ACL healing in non-surgical patients

🚨NEW PAPER🚨
The "Swiss Ball Jump" is a very practical way to stimulate (thus likely develop) faster lower limb extension. Faster than Squat Jump, clearly.
A force-plate based comparison🔬, nice work published @SportPerfSciR by our Masters students 🧑🏻🎓👏

Best practice recommendations for musculoskeletal pain
✅patient-centred
✅screen for red flags
✅psychological assessment
✅imaging only if indicated
✅physical/neuro examination
✅monitor outcome
