@Retlouping Thanks. It also seems that the neuroforamina space in cervical spine does not decrease with retractions (even though it causes lower cervical extension). Done supine though, but Wu et al 2022 found the same. My experience is the same. will look at "arm pit sniffing" ;-)

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@Retlouping What is your experience with retractions for cervical radiculopathy due to protrusions/herniations ?

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@GregLehman @AirCanada Have a save flight. Hope that Scandinavia was nice to you

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@GregLehman @PhysioNetwork And all the new physios will feel like bad physios because of all these videos. I can't see that this video have any relevance for the clinic. They might se pain decrease with "upper thoracic exercise/MT" but not because of greater movement in the area.

@AdamStenman @GregLehman How long does the pt waits in sweden if you refer e.g a pt with radiculopathy with significant foot drop but no CES sign ? In Denmark they could easily wait 4 weeks..

@hjluks @Cali_saloni We have some data. Found this interesting using data from ADAPT trial: https://t.co/AGW2B8JusI

@MSKPhysioJnl "The decrease in body mass (3.9 ± 1.2 kg) for the CR + E group was greater than the CR group (1.9 ± 2.7 kg; p = 0.043; Table 3)" - table 3 shows weight gain??

@TDekkersPhysio 😅Thanks...

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@TDekkersPhysio not a critique of your posts, just curiosity :-)

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@TDekkersPhysio Thanks. Like in this post I see you have thoughts on return to running and also had recommendations when james noake went to the gym after spine surgery. You mentioned annular healing as a factor but I guess we mostly have theoretical timelines but no clinical evidence.

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@adamdobson123 It looks a lot like the Lancet papers from 2018....

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@GregLehman Nice catch. I would not dare to use this as a reference for ITB guidance with so many red flags...

[Lau Saugman @LSaugman]

@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
