This is a must read from @davidmcw “Is Ireland the worst run country in Europe?”
The figures in this article are mind blowing . No accountability in the Senior echelons of Public Service. No wonder people are angry. #fuelprotests

[Sinéad O’Sullivan @SineadOS1]

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.

That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.

That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.

People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

Pure cinema. 🎞️

[Dr. Jonathan N. Stea @jonathanstea]

"Treating the root cause" is a trope abused in alternative/integrative/functional medicine to sow distrust in mainstream medicine.

Ironically, a scientifically implausible “root cause” is often treated with pseudoscientific approaches (e.g., spine subluxations for all diseases; past life regressions for PTSD; balancing energy for back pain, etc.).

Really happy to finally have this experiment published….. Diagnostic information can have an immediate effect on pain….. this should inform our clinical interactions.
Spoiler alert: not only were the participants blinded, but they didn’t know the experiment was happening!

We can’t:

• palpate the SIJ - it is obscured by the ilium.

• detect its movement (it rotates only 1-2deg/2-3mm)

If we can’t feel it or see it, we can’t diagnose a dysfunction.

SIJ pain is real. The descriptors of cause - upslips, torsions - are imaginary. 👇

Why Youth Athletes Should Play Multiple Sports ⛹️‍♀️🤾‍♂️

DID YOU KNOW❓
Youth athletes that specialize in one sport are at a significantly higher risk of injury and burnout vs. those who play multiple sports.

Just finished a talk today with this quote at @LiftTheBar Healthy Ageing Summit!

I went through some research on heavy resistance training (>80% 1RM) on very old and very frail subjects, as well as discussing the current guidelines and recommendations for training old and frail populations!

Due to the feedback I will be recording this and making it available online soon! Watch this space

If you are MANIPULATING patients with Ank Spond, there is an entire profession that will stand opposite you in court to explain why what you did was “a bit murdery”
