@RivianTrackr Congratulations!

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@hjluks Love this @hjluks! And the nuchal ligament -- I remember Lieberman talking about pigs on a treadmill and the inability to control their necks. So funny and interesting at the same time!

Nope... Running Will Not Wreck Your Knees
Evolution and Data...
We did not evolve to sit in chairs. We evolved to run... for miles, in the heat, until our prey collapsed. The human body is a distance-running machine, shaped over two million years of natural selection. And most of what people believe about running and joint health is wrong. A thread.

@RivianTrackr So sorry to hear this Jose

I am a shoulder surgeon. I have been repairing rotator cuffs for 30 years. And the most important thing I do in my office is try to talk people out of surgery they do not need.

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@hjluks So good @hjluks. In the exam room I often frame this as a convergence of the gradual decline in strength (one hand pointing down) and the change in joint health (OA) (the other hand pointing up) and it hitting the patient now. Took decades to happen. They think it happened today.

Knee Osteoarthritis: Thread Number 3
The most powerful intervention for knee osteoarthritis is not a pill, not an injection, and not a surgery. It's not PRP and certainly not stem cells.
It is the muscle above and below the joint.
If you have knee OA and you are not doing targeted strength training, you are leaving the most effective treatment on the table. 🧵

@TechJeff Hi Jeff. Is the Lectron the one you recommend? How does it compare with the Kia/Hyundai one? Was there something about it limiting power? Thanks!

Expectations matter.

In any hard pursuit what you expect shapes how your brain and body respond.

Expect ease, and the first bump feels like failure.

Expect catastrophe, and you’ll hold back before you even begin.

Expect difficulty—and your capacity to meet it—and you unlock your potential.

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@TechJeff Yes!!!

[The Sp⚽️rts Physio @AdamMeakins]

Most painful problems don’t get better because of that treatment you had after months of trying other things!

It got better because is just took longer than you expected

Both conventional and bullshit alternative treatments often take credit for what time has achieved!

@hjluks This is a great run!

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@Retlouping @hjluks @DrJN_SportsMed PT here, and sadly this is true. I spend way too much time myth busting so much BS. It's exhausting.

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@hjluks @DrJN_SportsMed Yes!

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@hjluks @lebosquet This! 💯

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@JohnFSDBull @itskyleconner This is not the right answer. No trash can? It stays in the car.

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@hjluks This is fantastic! And needed!

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@hjluks Spot on

[Ticky Ticky Tom Tom Dunlap @DunlapTom]

@hjluks Just awesome. This is so good!
