Interesting new research from @chris_neason @PatrickOwenPhD @ClaireLSamanna @belavyprof and colleagues in @BJSM_BMJ has suggested that an individualised run-walk programme may improve pain and disability in adults with non-specific chronic low back pain 🏃‍♂️

This builds on previous work from @belavyprof et al that reported running may strengthen the intervertebral discs:

Great citation! It's studies like these that led to our interest in IVD adaptation to exercise in humans!

[Claire Samanna @SamannaLClaire]

A big thank you to @ESSASpSc for the opportunity to present a first glimpse at the intervertebral disc outcomes from our ASTEROID study at #R2P24. We know LBP improved but what about the intervertebral discs? More to come soon! Hint: read the title 👀👀

@nitintarika Thanks for all of your help Nitin! This data extraction was a HUGE job!!!

[Claire Samanna @SamannaLClaire]

@stevekamper1 Agreed! I had so many people ask me if I was talking about cycling 🤦‍♀️ Great to meet you too!

[Claire Samanna @SamannaLClaire]

Upright bipedal physical loading (running) was associated with better lumbar spinal disc health!

Sharing findings from our meta-analysis at the #AusPainSoc conference in Darwin. Manuscript coming soon...👀

Thank you to all the collaborators who have made this work possible!

[Chris Neason @chris_neason]

A 12-week #running program was feasible and improved pain intensity and disability in adults with cLBP.

Grateful to present our poster at #SydneySpinalSymposium and chat with other passionate researchers 🤓

Full results dropping soon!

Great to see our ePoster on display @SpineWeek2023.

“Exploring the feasibility and efficacy of a 12-week running program in individuals with chronic low back pain: a RCT protocol”

Thanks to the entire ASTEROID team 🙏🏻

Full protocol: https://t.co/LxmmapmJ46

[Chris Neason @chris_neason]

@Retlouping @belavyprof @BoniniEmiliano @ClaireLSamanna Hopefully not long now! Data collection is due to finish next week.

As for a teaser: the spines of people with cLBP did not spontaneously collapse after starting a running program 🤯

Stay tuned for further updates 🧐

[Claire Samanna @SamannaLClaire]

@hannahkennedyOT @AusPainSoc Congratulations!

[Claire Samanna @SamannaLClaire]

@TheRehabPod @AusPainSoc Agree! Way too many incredible things happening to be spending time on twitter 🙏

Common things people with CP see as safe- and threat-related cues in their lives... Enjoyed this investigation @hannahkennedyOT @michelcoppie #auspainsoc related to 'The EP Handbook: Protectometer' @noigroup
