This is brilliant @LFC 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thought I’d have a stab at how I go about explaining common back pain themes. This made me realise I’m actually pretty lowsy at doing this with a lot of room to improve. Apologies if they aren’t your ☕️

[Justin Lim @JLTHphysio]

Physios uses analogies to help with concept simplification to aid patient understanding.

A thread on the common analogies that I have learnt to use🧵

PS: Not all analogy will work so exercise caution with this.

[Jesse Morse, M.D. @DrJesseMorse]

Back pain explained!

Herniated disk? Sciatica?

I try to simplify these common topics for you, as if you were standing in front of me as one of my patients.

Watch & share!

Before we try to get patients and the public doing more exercise, how about we first get those telling them to exercise more to practice a little of what they preach! #PotKettleBlack

So what does ‘patient-centred care’ actually look like in clinical practice...🤔

If you cannot explain something in simple terms, you don't understand it.

Why do some people with degenerative changes hurt, while others don’t? 🤔

Interesting thoughts from Louis Gifford 💭

[Dr Dom Pimenta MD @DrDomPimenta]

If I had been through the same algorithm as A-levels yesterday I wouldn’t be a doctor.

My wife wouldn’t be a surgeon.

Let that sink in.

This is a monumental failure.

[Rob Willcott @advantagephysio]

I feel sorry for people that think exercise will have no effect on their pain or health for that matter. They're convinced that the medical system will somehow fix them. While waiting for an unlikely answer, they atrophy, stiffen and decline further.

🤔 With the current lockdown I wonder how many people with work-related MSK conditions will improve? Conversely how many will develop new problems due to lack of activity or modified working from home (eg laptop in bed)?

[Anna Podolanczuk @AnnaPodolanczuk]

Today.

I told a 28 year old that he needs intubation. He was scared. Couldn’t breathe.

I told the wife of a 47 year old that he is dying over FaceTime.

I bronched a #COVID19 patient who mucous plugged. It saved his life. Risked mine.

This fantastic dissection image of the posterior rotator cuff has been making the rounds on Instagram, and rightfully so: it's a great perspective. I'll add my own take: the long head of the triceps is the part that jumps out at me the most. Read more: https://t.co/nnQImOCzQk

Are you sure you want to MRI the painful shoulder of that volleyball player? What are you going to do with the findings?
