So after nearly 20 years in the NHS todays clinic theoretically could be my last one ever if some get their way! 🥺😖

[Rick Williams @RWphysio]

3 months post calf tear and functionally doing well. But visually they were my only good feature 😪 Definitely happening in sparring and not I the warm up too 🤥🙈 #GettingOld #PhysioPatient

@PaulBliton @FGPTP @AdamMeakins Beattie 2008 the Level 5 evidence clinical commentary for IVD disease? Or am looking at the wrong thing? The other I can't find. Can you post links and I'll have a read.

[Rick Williams @RWphysio]

@PaulBliton @AdamMeakins I wouldn't be able to attribute his symptoms soley to an exercise with any certainty? So i wouldnt demonize that movement. Its a little arrogant to claim you know exactly why he developed radic symptoms. Ive rehabbed plenty of patients with directional preference post back injury

[Rick Williams @RWphysio]

@AdamMeakins Didn't even know Williams Flexion Exercises were a thing until tonight. I'm going to reflect on whether that makes me a good physio or bad. Find it hard to make the leap from back pain relieving flexion to "don't do exercises named by some surgeon in 1930s because they're bad"

@Conor_Harris_ What you're talking about in your post has been peddled since the 80's. 'Lower cross syndrome', 'imbalances' etc. Janda's work in this area was prolific during the 80s and 90s. The majority of which is no longer backed by robust clinical evidence. 🤷‍♂️

Amy suffered with Bell’s Palsy in Nov18. She recovered most of her facial movement herself, & eventually came to see me because she wanted to smile without her eye closing. 6 weeks later...🙂 @physiocouk #BellsPalsy #physio

@RWphysio @AdamMeakins Cheers Rick - people seem to get very agitated on this thread about 3x10!!!! When programmed appropriately it’s an effective strategy...they key is understanding when to use it and when to look for a different set/rep strategy based on the rehab outcomes

[The Sp⚽️rts Physio @AdamMeakins]

Disappointing to hear/see physios still over complicating and under loading ‘strength’ and ‘endurance’ rehab exercises for ACJ issues...

Just the usual 3x10 with NO focus on the intensity, load, or RIR! #SportsKongres 😖

[Rick Williams @RWphysio]

@AdamMeakins Hope you dont mind me hijacking the post @AdamMeakins but seems a good place put this given the debate! We have @coachnickg coming in to discuss the same issues! We dont need to vilify 3x10 (as it has its place) but we definitely need to see past it!
