Movement is medicine—especially for joints.

It increases synovial fluid (your body’s natural joint lube), boosts circulation, and reduces stiffness.

No fancy workout needed... just walk.

The next one is VERY crucial, and not so well known:

This is certainly relevant to pain and chronic medical conditions too imho

@DrJN_SportsMed I see this fairly regularly often presenting late and sometimes with sensitisation, often after multiple gastroenterology investigations. Carnett’s sign is a useful tool

The Consultants of Dorset hospital have written a letter to @SteveBarclay

They strike tomorrow

This letter is incredible

I challenge anyone to refute a single point in it

Worth a read for you too @wesstreeting

[Dr Benjamin M Thomas @drbenthomas]

@DrJN_SportsMed @rob_chiro Great job. Exactly right imho

@DrJN_SportsMed Also. Would be interesting to ask if they were responding to a report. We all know how that can go

[Dr Benjamin M Thomas @drbenthomas]

@DrJN_SportsMed PA only or with lateral?

[Dr Benjamin M Thomas @drbenthomas]

@DrJN_SportsMed Any clinical signs of pancoast?

@Nigella_Lawson @Anaes_Journal @iGas2 Anaesthetics is like baking, where precision, timing and the right mixture of ingredients is key.

What I do is more like Friday night, in a taco truck, outside a busy nightclub 😅

[Dr Benjamin M Thomas @drbenthomas]

@DrJN_SportsMed Perhaps interesting. Diagnostic thoughts obviously, but functionally? Loss of lordosis. Would want to see report (and by who) and then discuss in mdt but think small part of the jigsaw. Is there abdominal pain? Late night thoughts … 🤔

[James Noake @DrJN_SportsMed]

what do we think about the anterior changes around L4/5 here? 🤔

[Dr Benjamin M Thomas @drbenthomas]

@halseyhands1 @hayleymagill @nhs_voices We do backs a lot on the lgf!…
