A good reminder of some of the benefits of (short term) stress! Personally not sure it benefits my memory 🤯

There was worldwide outcry when the Notre Dame cathedral was on fire. Why is there not the same level of outrage for the fires destroying the #AmazonRainforest?

Nice to see this on the radar at the #CSPARC19 ....would be great to see @thecsp throw some weight behind this! 😊👍

[Emily Birch @birch_physio]

So simple, how have I never thought of this 🙄

[Mick Hughes @mickwhughes]

Looking to do single leg RDLs but can't load up affected leg because the exercise is more balance exercise than strength exercise? Give these wall-assisted RDLs a try. Don't be afraid to load up more than me though 🤣

So great to see the outdoor gym full of people tonight 💪🏼

A slightly dramatic headline - but the right message being sent #sitless #movemore https://t.co/J8gVFQmp1O

I haven’t manipulated a neck in 7 years. These stories gut me. I’ve read a lot of the research but really I have no idea if manipulation is safe or has a small chance for catastrophe. Since I think no pain NEEDS it I choose other options.

If you are an exercise and movement PROMOTER (and we all should be : ) then you realise the importance of SELF EFFICACY.

It can literally make or break your treatment success.

But how do we improve it........
