@Retlouping Have to read whole study, but pretty amazing results. Both mechanistically (cartilage) and clinical (pain down 50%+). a new perspective after Messier & GLAD + saline studies

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@TaiwanOzPhysio @GregLehman @Retlouping @SeanGTGibbons So we can affect posture via training: https://t.co/AslJMqNA4Y but like your abstract probably no relation to pain. Tell that to all the SoMe videos!

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@DerekGriffin86 Very often seen clinically. I wonder how referred pain from C6-7 can refer so low into the scapula (Here Bogduk paper). Which sensory nerves travel that far distal or is it sclerotomal referral ?

Heatwrap and exercise in acute low back pain: a multi-arm randomised controlled trial

“Heatwrap and exercise were not more effective than a sham in the treatment of LBP.”

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@NickHoopes_ And if it is a patient that have a history of always seeking passive help I would be inclined to suggest doing nothing. Let them feel natural recovery to be more confident in the future

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@NickHoopes_ Agree. I tend to discuss with patient and if passive intervention is used try not to make it flair up even further!

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@NickHoopes_ I do the same. Could mention that we should discuss with pt that going from 8/10 to 4/10 on VAS could also happen without any intervention. At least that is what some trials show for acute LBP.

@GregLehman Looking good!

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@simensletten Comprehensive and a lot of good info.

Low back injury risk in deadlifting is not explained by spinal posture alone. A more precise framework integrates load management, movement variability, dynamic trunk control, and individual adaptation. https://t.co/QVbR6wz8Gw

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@tomgoom Yes but could also be like many other msk pathologies that strengthening isn't the mediating factor.

🪑A simple chair test can say a lot about lower-body function
A pooled analysis of 45,470 adults aged 50+ from 14 European countries provides age- and sex-specific reference values for the 5x sit-to-stand test, showing slower times with advancing age 👵

@GregLehman @JNicholsonnn Would be nice to see a study like done with insertional AT (Pringels 2025) where non-compressive HSR were superior

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@GregLehman @JNicholsonnn do you know of other studies than this: https://t.co/0EhIUht4xY and Ganderton for directly comparing hip abd strength vs sham/general exercise ?

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@GregLehman 😅 It's easy to feel stupid with many of these "pro's" videos. You could say: pain on palpation, pain with first step, no neurogenic/inflammatory pathology = PHP. Try exercise (Riel et al), heel cup, tape. Dont worry about food posture, flexor hallucis longus etc...

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@GregLehman Hope that @clairepatella will tune in and give her take on why she advocate this ?

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@TDekkersPhysio @AdamMeakins I can see some prominent researchers in the references (Fritz, Ferreira). Do you find that any of the RCT's included in the SR include contemporary practice interventions ?
