#Functionaltraining is mentioned in research when defined as a form of #exercise that mimics movements & actions of daily life. But it implies that there’s non-functional training, which doesn’t exist since the body “functions” in every form of workout.

Research on #neckpain since the 1990s found little to no relationship btwn neck #posture & neck pain. Get a 2nd or 3rd opinion if a clinician blames your posture to be the cause of your pain.

More than six years later, the problem only deepened in the U.S.

Despite all the research that says otherwise, the system—including many individual clinicians—very little has changed.

#healthcare has created a..

a complex system who believes the patient is simple..

WE NEED

a simple system believing in a complex person..

@Retlouping Not sure how that's gonna help. Maybe psychologically?

@SandyHiltonPT Somehow I feel you. I've been a nomad around Puget Sound for nearly 2 yrs, carrying my own memories & "accomplishments" in plastic bins.

[Massage & Fitness @MassageFitMag]

I do, too.

I’d love to see a healthcare conference panel of BIPOC women that wasn’t about diversity, equity, etc. We are actually knowledgeable and have expertise and experience with other topics, too.

It takes *17 yrs* for research to change practice.
But pain medicine doesn't even keep up with THAT 😶👎🏼

Since 1965, we've known that pain is emotional, social + environmental - NOT just physical.

SIXTY yrs later, we still treat pain with 💊💉🔪

@nikegal7 @EmpowerWomensPT So is that good? 😳

From a patient's perspective, it doesn't.

[Massage & Fitness @MassageFitMag]

@SandyHiltonPT Quite a change of scene from Chicago.

[Massage & Fitness @MassageFitMag]

Things are changing. :)

@agordon55 I agree. On the last trip to San Diego, about 4-5 ppl wore a mask, including myself. Same thing on the flight to Everett. I still got sick (dry cough and fever) for 3 weeks.

[Massage & Fitness @MassageFitMag]

@nikegal7 You are making me nostalgic about San Diego already. Like #fishtacos 😂

@nikegal7 I heard the news last Sunday. :) #aztecbasketball

A simplified version of what #centralsensitization is & how it works.

Basically CS amplifies signals from stimuli that likely cause pain or major discomfort that normally wouldn't do so for an average population.

@amine__hammou It's likely the hip-hop/rap rivalry in the 1980s & '90s have contributed that "umbrella," especially after the deaths of "Biggie" and Tupac in the mid '90s.
