Movement optimist. Listen, re-assure, then “slow-cook fitness/health.” Exercise is empowering; passive care is not.

@InsiderAsia @jordanbunda @andrewmaleman I would have so many poop points. Would have bought all of my textbooks this way.

This might be my favourite thread of the year. Good for a laugh.

[Greg Lehman @GregLehman]

Shoot. I just went for a run and can’t recall if I remembered to activate my Glutes before I left.

I hope I get away with it this time.

[joshbowslaugh @jjcbows]

I’m still deeply disheartened by my profession. Picking & choosing evidence that supports only our biases. Telling people they NEED to see us to be FIXED! Only MY staff can help you!! You have a rotated pelvis!?! Re-educate, reassure, give+ movement experience #fpm #antifragile

@AnninaBSchmid @TPMPodcast Annina, great talk. I’m a OBU PT student...do you recommend Von Frey hairs for ALL those in private MSK practice? They look very expensive and I’m wondering if there are cheaper options for Quantitative Sensory testing you’re aware of? Thanks.

@CraigLiebenson @aaron_kubal I’m guilty of saying use pain as your guide. But I use this phrase in conjunction with the stop light system. 1-3 don’t worry, 4-6 keep going but if painful the next day consider changing, 7-10 try another strategy...Depending on initial pain severity and pattern. Thoughts?

@coopmillard @FootyHumour I don’t know how I didn’t get notified about this post. What I’ve gathered from that post is I’m basically the Shiekh?

[joshbowslaugh @jjcbows]

@CanadiensMTL @S_Morris_ what are your thoughts? I know you must have some passionate details to share.

[joshbowslaugh @jjcbows]

It’s all about accountability. Great little reminder about staying humble and being patient-centred. #EBP

[The Sp⚽️rts Physio @AdamMeakins]

Ouch! This harsh but fair article on many physios inability to act as evidenced based professionals should be a wake up call for everyone.

People are beginning to notice that physio is getting closer to the fringes of alternative medicine and its quacks! https://t.co/ptQbCMGW8a

@GregLehman Thanks. Needed to hear this right now. I’m no saint myself but it bothers me when it seems like people in the same profession prefer to create branding over actual care. We all lose out when egos run the show.

[joshbowslaugh @jjcbows]

@GregLehman how do you find the strength not to scream when clinicians make posts about fixing back pain with one exercise or telling people certain exercises aren’t as good as the one that they prescribe. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

[joshbowslaugh @jjcbows]

@gilljones81 @JonRoom - Is this an oversimplification of manual therapy? Do you think people are swinging the pendulum too far, or should current and future students be pioneering these values? Food for thought...

Everything that’s wrong with physio is summed up by the words “this will fix your ________”
Easy with the social media marketing ploys; can we just get back to logically educating people. Thanks. #worstpractices #qualityoverquantity #physiotalk #physiotherapyeducation

[Running-Physio @tomgoom]

Meanwhile on Instagram... why not try running with a resistance band around your knees to really hit those glutes?! 🤦‍♂️🤪

[Running-Physio @tomgoom]

Some great myth busting from @NicolvanDyk at #sportskongres concluding that
1) load DOESN’T explain all injury
2) the 10% rule has limitations and little evidence
3) we shouldn’t avoid all peaks and troughs in training
4) ACWR of 1.5 isn’t magic!
5) it isn’t all about ACWR 👏🏻

[joshbowslaugh @jjcbows]

@JeroenSwart @MikeReiman Maybe I missed some of the background here but how do these stats support that a negative result means no impingement? Doesn’t it just mean if there’s pain there’s a problem, not sure what. If no pain, still not sure but hoping not serious? Let’s test more? - curious PT student

Prone Terminal Knee Extensions: One of my favourite ways to get the knee actively into knee extension. Grouped together with "Prone Knee Hangs", it provides a nice circuit to get the knee straight in the first few weeks post-op.

@MyCuppaJo @CorKinetic You put that wonderfully. A great practitioner once told me “were not always here to reduce pain; we are certainly here to reduce suffering.” If we can get even a few of our patients to return to living without fear of the mysterious ‘instability’, we’re doing our job.

[joshbowslaugh @jjcbows]

@GregLehman Interesting. Maybe that in itself is good support for why stretching wouldn’t be harmful. Perhaps less functional but that’s another topic, I suppose.
