I have an interview tomorrow with the BBC on working from home & back pain. Key messages for prevention & reducing symptoms.

What would be the top 3 messages you would want members of the public to be aware of? 👩‍💻🧑‍💻#WorkingFromHome

@NewhamHospital @arckelso great idea this! I'm sure we do this. Such a friendly group of staff at our hospitals!

@DrMikemacmillan @AdamMeakins You can't build tolerance without stressing the system.

[Newham Hospital MSK Physiotherapy Department @NewhamMSK]

@CatrionaRowland Noooooo don't give in!!! Rain or shine, we ride!
Though the wind today was disgusting!

@CatrionaRowland @NewhamHospital PJ was an excellent asset to our team, we can't thank him enough for his hard work and dedication during the pandemic, but also his work creating an excellent, evidence based, total knee replacement protocol.
He will be missed!

One of the biggest myths of marathon running is that muscle cramping mid race is due to dehydration and/or electrolyte loss. The reality is that it is far more likely to result from fatigue and muscle damage. https://t.co/9BvEG69GjP

@honest_physio Yes please!!

@arckelso @NewhamHospital @AdamSewellJones @S_AshtonNHS @louise_crosby Excellent to see this, listening to staff! I hope this puts a hammer down on the number of thefts the past few weeks

@dr_michaelkim @KyKyfive @NHSBartsHealth @EmCareandTrauma @RoyalLondonHosp Gonna put it in front of another medic on wheels and yell.... "Fight!"

@David_S_85 @JKBartsHeart @WhippsCrossHosp @BromptonBicycle @BromptonHire Think we have a Bart's Cycling Club in the making!?

@CatrionaRowland @PauloHPeres2 @weing102 @estheraby02 @MaryTho89446776 @BartsWellbeing @NHSBartsHealth @WeImproveBH @NewhamICU @NewhamHospital @Thomas27Mary @AAttfield @S_AshtonNHS Looks like we need to get our MSK teams work out at work circulating - 15 minute killer workout!

@CatrionaRowland As the number of cyclists increases we need to start looking seriously at increasing our secure bike storage facilities. We've had no place to lock up securely on a few occasions now, and I can only see it getting busier.
Who do you think would be best suited?

@WeAreCyclingUK Amazing stuff, thank you! @CatrionaRowland @AdamsPhysio

Many key workers are discovering the benefits of riding a bike - for happiness, health and short trips.

The #BigBikeRevival project is offering free bike loans and repairs to help even more frontline staff start cycling.

@SaraHiles9 @CatrionaRowland @Sarah_Finer @NHSBartsHealth @NewhamHospital @greenatbarts @JKBartsHeart @strelitz_jason @SamirNHS @nuh_19 @EDTeamNUH @RainbowCyp @NUHmaternity @NuhChief @ChildrensNuh @JustinPNHS @lynda_mcnab @Triciahandley @wen3031 @ives_nina @ShonaSolly @S_AshtonNHS @WeImproveBH Yes it can be very daunting to start off with, particularly if slower speeds. I would recommend speaking to a local cycling club (to your work place) and see if they have any training opportunities

[Newham Hospital MSK Physiotherapy Department @NewhamMSK]

@AdamSewellJones @NewhamHospital So... Remind me where your office is?
