Physiotherapy is the facilitation of positive physical activity beliefs & behaviours to improve quality of life #mycurrentdefinition #physio

2 weeks after the publication of the RESTORE CFT trial in the Lancet, and following all the social media responses.....
These are the 10 reasons why I think it is the most influential Physiotherapy-led back pain study EVER...

Learning Disability Awareness Week, lots of positives flying around and talk of changing attitudes but not a lot of substance IMO. So, what can you, as a professional in non specialist services learn/do? A thread.🧵

[Ben Cormack @CorKinetic]

Clinicians can be consistent in the care that they offer but have to accept that outcomes are often inconsistent

So many factors outside of clinicians control affect outcomes

Accepting this is good for mental health 😀

[Rory Twogood @RoryTwogood]

Physio exercises are boring & most patients in primary care MSK services don't need rehab to be that specific 🤔 I'm starting to recommend a lot more YouTube exercise videos (faves are @yogawithadriene & @thebodycoach) keen to know what other good channels people direct pts too??

[The Sp⚽️rts Physio @AdamMeakins]

YES…finally! So good to see an evidence based article on posture and pain in the main stream media!

Take a bow @PeteOSullivanPT and @NSaraceniPhysio 👍👏 https://t.co/FPowPhkb0c

What’s the one thing a clinician uses with every patient?

Communication!

But it’s probably the least practiced & valued skill 🧐 in comparison to assessment or treatment

Couldn't recommend working with @designed2moveuk and @Heatherkm22 more!! Have a listen and then get in touch if you want the chance to deliver truly gold standard rehab 🏆

@Sarahpayne001 Hi Sarah, would you be able to follow me back so I can DM you a public health question?

[Jack Chew @JackAChew]

Ahead of next week’s Chewing If Over livestream on the subject, I wonder if I could canvass you lot on the following question:

Is doing Band 5 rotations the best way to achieve MSK clinical excellence?

@TPMPodcast @PMFirstSteps
Gimme some retweets too you cheap gits. Ta x

[Rory Twogood @RoryTwogood]

@GWRHelp @AvantiWestCoast Maybe time to update your policy then?! Ridiculous that I have to go to a station to change a ticket and then pay a penalty to do so when other train companies manage let me do it for free online!! How does someone who might struggle to easily get to a station change a ticket?

[Rory Twogood @RoryTwogood]

@GWRHelp why do you charge a £10 'admin' fee to change an advance booking when @AvantiWestCoast can do it for free?? Surely I should be able to change this online?
What does that £10 cover?

[Ben Cormack @CorKinetic]

We need to lose the idea that there is a magic fix for most MSK problems, whether thats an exercise, MT or electro laser beam guided needles.

Rehab is a process that generally takes a bit of time & often involves a fair bit of trial & error too

This is key message No1

[Rory Twogood @RoryTwogood]

Great session Becky! Thought provoking and enjoyable with lots of nuggets I can take forward into practice 🙌 #TheAcademy @MSKEdNet

[Ben Cormack @CorKinetic]

Are we starting to see that exercise for pain is not the same beast as exercise for physical preperation?

Probably need basic advice over fancy programmes

@EliTipneyPT @BenTipney Congratulations Eli!!! 🎊🎊

@Carlthephysio @MRWPhysio @SarahSpracAHP @glenn_westrop @HeidiCo05798621 Agree with Matthew - its a different type of placement so better in some ways and worse in others. Does it prepare students for MSK better than no placement? Absolutely! Don't let perfect be the enemy of good, trust students to take the opportunity and they will rise to it!

[Rory Twogood @RoryTwogood]

@Carlthephysio @MRWPhysio @SarahSpracAHP @glenn_westrop @HeidiCo05798621 Nope, used usual markschemes and a bit of creative thinking to make them work - some better than others. Encouraged mentors to mark in the spirit of the markscheme and no one marked down for not having an opportunity. Students encouraged to take ownership of their marking
