Multifidus re-education?? When does it become uneducated? 90's concepts still rife

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

Any research to show that 'dead bugs' actually do anything?

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

Confused how all small exercises are classed as 'stability'. If you don't do them are you unstable?? Just so generic

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

Also to every therapist/trainer/guru, the only way to 'bullet-proof' anything is with lead or kevlar. Doing a generic exercise for a certain body part means you get better at that skill/mvt - may help with pain, doesn't stop bullets/injury

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

To every sports commentator, there are other words use instead of 'unbelievable'! In sport it is very much the case that everything is believable

@tomchitty Tomeroon!

Control works prox-distal and distal-proximal. Need to understand both especially in gait https://t.co/apFdexzvO5

Do you know how to break down sporting movements to assess for possible cause of injury and enhancing performance? https://t.co/IfV95jFahu
Learn how to assess these movements at every joint in the body to help you clients. See link in description

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

Anatomy books are great for understanding passive structures, but that is not how we move. Muscles are synergistic and rarely work in the agonist/antagonist model.
Also just because someone has knee pain it doesn't mean they have weak glutes!!!

90's physio themes that are somehow still alive
1) weak core
2) weak rotator cuff
3) lower traps not firing
4) glut med weakness
5) VMO not tracking the patella correctly
6) over pronation

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

One of the many reason 'rotator cuff' exercises won't sort the problem, Watch "Whole Body Shoulder Motion" on https://t.co/aD3CcPlKjB

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

Just because the 'rotator cuff' are named so, it does not mean that resisted rotation exercises will help! It is not their primary function. Get the shoulder moving fully first, then strengthen through range

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

Always found it interesting that the primary approach to achilles & patella tendinopathy is overload (ecc/iso/slow-heavy), when generally it's an overload injury. Need to ask WHY the problem is present?

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

Objective measures for ACLR RTP are great, which ever battery of tests you use. However, don't lose focus on HOW they do the movements. If you cannot land on one foot then what are you testing?

[Mark Leyland @MarkPhysio]

Soleus has an interesting anatomical bias to TP and FP movement control of the foot and knee (along with PF). So many focus on heel raises, maybe looking more and pronation and supination sequence could be more beneficial
