If there was a magic pill for almost all ills with almost no side effects, how many would you take per day? https://t.co/7cDZWwxgxG

Calm down everyone.

That hotdog you had yesterday is very unlikely to give you cancer.

Physical inactivity will certainly kill you sooner.

.@BJSM_BMJ

There is plenty of work for everyone. Aspire to be a premium provider.

[SASMA2015 @SASMA2015]

.@BJSM_BMJ encourages both professions to look to themselves to be the best they can be within their profession.
Goal: complete patient care

[Dr Wendy Holliday @WendzH]

@SASMA2015 Lyno's have, as far as we know, deregistered from HPCSA and BASA, so are doing so independently. That is a debate 4 another day!

[SASMA2015 @SASMA2015]

Definite no-nos for bios:

Dry needling
Joint manipulation
Treating in the presence of pain, swelling, acute injury

[SASMA2015 @SASMA2015]

Seems it is not as simple as physio hands on, bio hands off.

[SASMA2015 @SASMA2015]

If movement/physical activity is the primary treatment modality then it is within the scope of practice of bio-kineticists.

[SASMA2015 @SASMA2015]

Linotherapy has come up a few times.

Lino has gone on its own and is no longer affiliated with either profession.

#SASMA2015

[SASMA2015 @SASMA2015]

Can bio-kineticists treat post-op patients in hospital?

Seems it is happening here and there.

[SASMA2015 @SASMA2015]

I'm here. Thing are getting heated.

Let's hear some opinions from our twitter followers:

[Dr Wendy Holliday @WendzH]

Anyone tweeting from @SASMA2015 Physio-Biok debate? #scopeofpractice

[Bryce Jackson @Quarves]

Time to open the can of worms with the bio and physio debate @SASMA2015. Should be fun
