Having ‘good’ posture doesn't prevent back pain, and 'bad' posture doesn't cause it https://t.co/7yK4s3AnDG lähteestä @ConversationEDU

An increase in maximum strength is not itself an adaptation, it is the result of multiple adaptations. Understanding this allows us to target the individual, specific adaptations that contribute to strength gains more effectively.

10 DOS & DON'TS OF PERSISTENT PAIN
I recently prepared a media piece on "10 dos & don'ts of persistent pain". From today until the 1st of January I will post a summary of each of the 10 points that I have included.

[Derek Griffin @DerekGriffin86]

For acute LBP only 32% of physios advised patients to stay active; yet 70% have posture advice! 🤔 If we are to change societal beliefs about back pain, we must start with changing our own.

[Søren T. Skou @STSkou]

Clinicians should encourage any increase in physical activity as this meta-analysis suggests significant mental health benefits from being physically active, even at levels below the public health recommendations: https://t.co/YLYwejFe9m

@PhysioMeScience @exerciseworks @EIMnews @ParticipACTION @physiopedia @PhysiosforPA @WorldPhysio1951 Based on 27 RCTs, “exercise is associated with improving the health-related quality of life of persons with musculoskeletal pain” - hard to imagine that any outcome is more important than QOL ….

Just in time for the weekend: new paper supporting the previously suggested association between the "fear of round back lifting" and movement behavior in healthy pain-free individuals 👇👇👇

Red Flags for Low Back Pain Are Not Always Really Red

https://t.co/TvE0CC64ru

[Kristian Ekström @KristianEkstrom]

In English: Clients sometimes wonder why I want to hear about their lives so broadly when their complaint is ”only” about their back pain. The answer to this question is in the picture.

[Kristian Ekström @KristianEkstrom]

Asiakkaat joskus ihmettelevät sitä miksi haluan kuulla laaja-alaisesti heidän elämästään, vaikka kyse on ”vain” selkäkivusta. Tähän ihmettelyyn vastaus alla olevassa kuvassa.

Our paper on loading recommendations for strength, hypertrophy and muscular endurance officially pubbed. Hopefully it spurs thought and discourse on the topic. Time for a new paradigm...? https://t.co/FTsk3iNb0T

@GregLehman Close to 1%. Mostly the ones I refer out.

Vaatteen tai tavaran saa hankkia elintarvikkeiden yhteydessä, mutta sitä varten ei erikseen saa lähteä kaupoille. Pelaa verkko- ja hypermarkettien pussiin, pienten liikkeiden kustannuksella. Moni yritys on tukien ulkopuolella. Melkoinen pudotuspeli. Eduskunnassa puututtava tähän.

[Kristian Ekström @KristianEkstrom]

@joni_jaakkola Enkä yhtään ihmettele, että harmittaa. Ihmettelen myös sitä, että ei löytynyt sääntöjä siihen miten salit olisi voitu pitää auki.

If you are a healthcare professional and interested in pain management, you need to check this out. A relaxed Q&A session with Professor @PeteOSullivanPT and @rtholopainen

[Kristian Ekström @KristianEkstrom]

It is no wonder that people with back pain get worried when they hear the word disk The net and we professionals often relay info in a way that leaves people more anxious than relieved. I think we all could do better. Let's try to avoid using worrying ways to express things.⁣

[Kristian Ekström @KristianEkstrom]

@tombrunberg En yhtään ihmettele, että on ollut rankkaa. Tsemppiä💪
