A recent American study has found those who saw a physio first for the treatment of low back pain were 89% less likely to receive opioid prescription, 28% less likely to require imaging and have significantly lower out-of-pocket costs. #choosephysio

New Canadian #Spine Society #opioid recommendation: Don’t use opioid analgesic medication in the ongoing treatment of chronic, non-malignant back pain. #OpioidWisely https://t.co/DUtCQIRE9T

Disappointing to see so many TV features on how certain Olympians were "destined for greatness" from a young age. Completely undermines long-term athletic development approaches, discourages athletes from working hard to become late bloomers, and encourages early specialization.

[Heather Hines @Potcheratti]

If a healthcare professional advises you to stay on bed rest after a low back injury, they should lose their license. #negligent #evidencebasedpractice

Very important to know for all physiotherapists and to explain to our patients! 😊👍
Great post by @paincloud1

@MalcolmMinns @PeteOSullivanPT @AdamMeakins Before pain signals arise. These signals are processed in the brain which we perceive as pain.
In everything I’ve look at that is my basic understanding. The more we learn the more we question the less we truly know. I love this process. Thanks for you input.

[Nick Souder @NSouder]

@MalcolmMinns @PeteOSullivanPT @AdamMeakins I see your point. I like to think of a smoke alarm on your house. (Not my idea and I don’t remember where I read it). Smoke alarm goes off (output). Until adequate threshold is met there is no alarm. If you stimulate mechanoreceptors on your arm a threshold must be met

[Nick Souder @NSouder]

@ZimneyKJ @PeteOSullivanPT @AdamMeakins In my experience, the more detail, the less they truly understand and the more confused they become in the beginning.
Good point about “you and your body”. Thoughts, beliefs etc which makes us “us” and unique vs the physiological processes of the body. Thanks for your input.

[Nick Souder @NSouder]

@ZimneyKJ @PeteOSullivanPT @AdamMeakins Drastic oversimplification, definitely. Slightly inaccurate, potentially. For the pop I work with (limited knowledge of the body etc) the simpler the better. I always provide additional resources they can look into and then answer questions at next session.

[Nick Souder @NSouder]

Pain is an output of the brain based on past experiences, emotions, behaviours, attitudes as well as many others. It is manageable. There is no quick fix. It’s a collaborative process between you and your body. Thoughts @PeteOSullivanPT and @AdamMeakins
