@Retlouping I thought this was illegal for chiropractors to do in the US. Maybe just in my state?

Exercise Therapy ‘Wears Down’ My Knee Joint: Myth or Reality?

To dispel the misconception that exercise therapy wears down knee cartilage, clinicians should proactively address these concerns when treating patients with knee osteoarthritis.

@FitFounder Does Maffetone still advocate never going above your MAF heart rate, I.e. not mixing Zone 2 and high(er) intensity intervals?

In college, Will Ferrell was pursuing a career as a sportscaster.

Then, at a low point, he had the idea to sift his memories for clues—any information that might help him discern what he’s really meant to do with his life.

“There was a moment in high school,” Will explained,

The class president asked Will to write short comedy sketches that they would perform over the intercom system during morning announcements.

“One night,” Will said, “I was writing a little sketch. I thought it’d been about 20 minutes. At one point, I stopped and looked at the clock, and it was midnight. I’d spent four hours writing and rewriting and revising that little sketch.”

Will said he realized it was one of the few times where work didn’t feel like work, where he started working on something, and “the next thing I knew, the night was gone.”

“And I thought, ‘Oh, don’t ignore that feeling. Find a way to follow that feeling of doing work that doesn’t feel arduous in any sort of way.’”

Takeaway 1:

“For anyone,” Amy Krouse Rosenthal once wrote, “trying to discern what to do with their life:

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO.

That’s pretty much all the info you need.”

Pay attention to what you can pay attention to so that, as Ferrell put it, the next you thing you know, the night is gone.

Takeaway 2:

In economics, there’s a concept known as “match quality”—the degree of alignment between the traits of a profession and the traits of a person.

One way to discern match quality is to pay attention to your degree of excitement—if you don’t get excited by the parts of the profession that excite your peers, that’s a clear indication of a “mismatch.”

“There was another lightbulb moment,” Will contines.

Just after he graduated with a sports journalism degree from USC, Will worked at a small cable news station in Los Angeles.

In a meeting one morning, the station’s producer announced that he needed someone to do a post-game interview with John Robinson, then the head coach of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams.

“40 hands shot up,” Will said, “except for mine. I’m surrounded by these hungry people who were excited to do the interview. Meanwhile, my first thought was, ‘Ugh, I’m gonna have to rent a camera. Parking is gonna be a pain. I’ll have to ask one of my classmates to run sound for me.’”

“I realized, ‘this is not a good sign. I should be leaping out of my chair.’”

After becoming aware of this mismatch, “I said, ‘Well, I can’t get excited about this exciting opportunity, but there’s this comedy thing that is still gnawing at me,’ and that’s when I signed up for my first comedy class at The Groundlings [a sketch comedy school based in Los Angeles].”

As he wrote sketches to perform at The Groundlings, he paid attention to that feeling of doing work that doesn’t feel arduous in any sort of way, and he knew he had met his match:

“I said, ‘I’m done with the broadcasting thing. I’m going to pursue this comedy thing.’”

@mst4truth @Alan_Couzens 2 aspects of cardiovascular fitness: central and peripheral adaptations. To greatly oversimplify it, central adaptation (cardiac output) is sport agnostic, e.g. conditioning will carry to other activities. Peripheral adaptations (muscle cell’s oxygen use) are more specific.

Remember, “Certainty is not biologically possible,” so stop trying to pursue it!

Lest you think the antidote to uncertainty is to provide “chiropractic certainty” to your patients, the subjects’ suggestions included “being honest about uncertainty” not trying to hide it.

@tparman_PT Quite a few chiropractors have gone through similar transitions and may have valuable insights. @bcacoleman @drdeansmith @CasperGNim @CARLProgram

Thrilled to be leading this initiative! With my research focused on patient safety for over 10 years, it’s wonderful to have a more concentrated effort at a global level. This is EPIC!

The OPAL trial findings provide strong evidence that opioids should not be prescribed to people with acute back and/or neck pain.

"Big Promo" or "Big Oh-No!"?
The new TLC Reality show will be loved by crack addicts, but I worry this will only give naysayers more fuel for their fire.
Having a chiro say "power on" and "nerve pressure" won't build confidence in the profession.

@snipd_app Ironically, I opened @Stitcher for the first time in years last week trying to find an episode I had listened to in 2013. I must have overloaded their servers! 🤣
Got the episode added to @snipd_app and found the clip I needed. 😊

@ashjamesphysio @Retlouping Have physios in the UK been allowed to do injections (PRP, medication, or otherwise) prior to this? I would have thought any invasive procedures, however minimal, would be out of scope?
