There's strong evidence that an individual who loses five to 10 percent of their bodyweight, accompanied with a strength-based program, can have a 30 to 50 percent reduction in their pain, as well as improvements in QOL and their function https://t.co/vtMbKSJUVQ @bodylogicperth

Imaging should only be used in conjunction with a high quality, thorough clinical examination.

Psychological factors predict outcomes of shoulder surgery @JeremyLewisPT 👇👇👇

@KitsonJoe @PhysioMACP There aren't many sports whereby an element of "deceleration" isn't required at some point. For some it is more marked. In short, it is clear that it should be addressed in rehab/RTP but keep it sport/task specific.

[Mike Ho @Mikoh84]

Great to see @SaracensWomen with a solid pre-season start. Great to see some old faces too and everyone developing. Strong season ahead

@AkinOlokun All kinds of wrong in this tweet. Pseudo science and balderdash all rolled into one.

[Mike Ho @Mikoh84]

@MehmetGemPT @function2fitnes @AdamMeakins @tomgoom @RobinHigginson @JPTDoyle @drimbuldeniya @Hip_and_Knee @LinearProbe @richnorris00 Sod the examination and obj findings. His walking tells you enough: refer on and investigate asap.

@blaisedubois @KitsonJoe @ClinicRunning @RunningReform @JFEsculier Would love to see a reference list as studies/SR I've found either a minimal diff, that BF caused increase in O2 consumption, or that longer term, shoe runners had greater improvement in O2 con depending on weight of footwear

[Mike Ho @Mikoh84]

@blaisedubois @ClinicRunning @RunningReform @JFEsculier How was economy measured? References would be good

[Mike Ho @Mikoh84]

@blaisedubois @ClinicRunning @RunningReform @JFEsculier But shoes are good if running form is "good"? Any research done to show differences in economy in shoes vs barefoot? How would you measure that? Time over a distance? Speed?
