Final Takeaway
Once reporting and review standards improve, we can move beyond “some exercise is better than none” toward tailored, evidence-driven, safe, and clinically meaningful exercise prescriptions for each MSK pain presentation.

[Daniel Belavy @belavyprof]

Chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain affects 1.7 billion people globally and costs hundreds of billions annually.

Exercise helps ✅

⚠️but: evidence base is too imprecise to implement it well

The Path Forward
A 3-step approach for a stronger evidence base:
1️⃣ Integrate reporting frameworks from design to publication
2️⃣ Strengthen systematic review methodology
3️⃣ Enforce reporting compliance across the ecosystem
Together, this enables precision exercise prescription

➡️ Moving forward, if sleep is important for a patient, other treatments need to be considered and evaluated 🚩
