For the people at the back -

1. Distance runner with ramp in load +/- REDS risk factors
2. Positive hop test
3. Positive FADDIR
4. Weak / painful on iliopsoas testing

This is 99.9% likely to be a neck of femur stress injury

Gluteal tendinopathy treatment comparison:

2️⃣ Education & Exercise: 77% at 8w, 78% at 52w
3️⃣ Cortisone: 58% at 8w, 57% at 52w

Education & Exercise is the best 1st line Rx 💪

Look at this kick from Corkman Michael Kiely to win gold for Ireland in the 800m at World Masters Championships yesterday in the 80-84 division!

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Being physically active before a cancer diagnosis is linked to up to an 18% lower risk of death from breast, colorectal, hematologic, liver, lung, and stomach cancers.

Even if exercise doesn’t prevent cancer, it improves survival and outcomes after diagnosis—no matter what you do afterward.

For cancer survivors, staying active also reduces recurrence rates in a dose-response fashion. One study found that breast cancer patients who were active before diagnosis had a 47% lower risk of recurrence compared to inactive survivors.

Why? Exercise makes cancer less aggressive and may delay its onset in those predisposed. It also prepares the body for treatment, improving response, tolerability, and effectiveness. All of this adds up to better long-term outcomes.

Bottom line: Fitness is a powerful advantage—even before you need it.
