Tendon doesn’t do anything on its own.

It’s dumb. It needs muscle to work.

Three purposes of tendon:

Love seeing people’s clinical reasoning 🤓😍

How come so many different issues?! Here’s my working theory tying everything together - this is unlikely to be entirely correct! I’m not sure if it even matters, but knowing the root cause of the problems might help plan management & reduce chances of future issues 🤔🤞🏼

Thank you to @NICEComms for reading my tweets and publishing guidance re Osteoarthritis

Again

Diagnose OA if:
- over 45
- activity related joint pain AND
- no or under 30 mins joint stiffness

You DO NOT need to routinely x-ray to diagnose

We can use different pressing exercise variations to target different prime movers (pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and triceps brachii) and their individual regions.

Reflecting on the RED-S cases I’ve been seeing;

1/ To the MSK clinician, it’s so key that psychiatric morbidity is quickly identified, risk-assessed + referred to the appropriate clinician. Have a low threshold to explore in those with key presentations: bone stress…

Hip & groin pain in sporty adolescents IS NOT NORMAL!
(a thread)

Kids aren't 'little adults' - they have different physiology, immature skeleton, growth plates...

They're susceptible to unique conditions

Yet they are robust - if they're not enjoying sport, pay attention...

[Peter O'Sullivan @PeteOSullivanPT]

My sister was told she needed a TKR a few years back for knee OA ‘Bone on bone’. Instead I told her to get on the bike; get strong and build up gradually - she just walked to Everest base camp with her own knee. Why are patients not given evidence based approaches first?

It has been an absolute pleasure working at @thecgf as a physio within the weightlifting hall. Even better when you get to watch and chat with amazing athletes like Vikas Thakur #weightlifting #CWG2022 #SilverMedal

@MarcSurdyka @tumbleweedface Do you not think it’s a powerful tool to display that their condition (or factor feeding into their condition) can be changed?
