Just finished up reading @RossEdgley Art of Resilience book. Very very good from a Sport Science point of view and from a physio point of view he’s essentially the best prehabilitator there is 😅

Highly recommend🙌🏼

We’re going to need a wheelbarrow to carry all our presents to the tree this year 🎄🎅, so better practice! A wheelbarrow race  🏁🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ is great for strengthening your arms 💪 so you don’t drop any of your new toys 🎁 @physiokylemcc @Ekloveilan @RHCGlasgow

Physio Twitter - it’s been a minute!

Had a great 5 week placement at Glasgow warriors over the summer and learned a huge amount

Got my first job offer as a rotational band 5 a few weeks ago! One placement and dissertation submission to go and I’ll be out in the big bad world!

[Kyle McCallum @physiokylemcc]

Excited to be heading off to @Guernsey_2023 tomorrow to provide physio cover for the week!

Hopefully we’ll get some sunshine and learn some sport specific stuff ☀️🏋🏻‍♂️🚴🏼🏌🏼‍♂️

[Kyle McCallum @physiokylemcc]

Happy to have finished up my 3rd placement at WestMARC last Friday in prosthetic rehabilitation! Great learning experience within a different aspect of physiotherapy!

Few weeks off before my elective placement at @GlasgowWarriors - can’t wait!

I can’t emphasise how much the recreational endurance athlete needs to see this (and all your children playing sport!).

Stop judging yourself (and others) by the simple metric of victory.

Success is measured in progress.

Very happy to have passed my second placement in Elderly Rehabiliation at Gartnavel General last week. Lots learned and lots to work on but we’re moving in the right direction!

Excited to get started in Prosthetic rehab at Westmarc in the next few weeks 👨🏻‍⚕️🏋🏻

Are you a physio student, newly qualified physio or a physio who is looking to keep up to date with mass of resources and research? 🧐📚

Here is a THREAD of 10 Resources I have found extremely influential; 1/10🧵

They’re different things but often used interchangeably!!

[Kyle McCallum @physiokylemcc]

Essay help please 🙏🏼

Spasticity and hypertonicity and technically different things (spasticity with velocity and hypertonicity irrespective of velocity) but most published research infers that they’re the same thing

Aka is spasticity and hypertonicity an interchangeable term?

Simple message from the GOAT

[F. Winston Gwathmey, MD @winstongwathmey]

Ever seen a peroneus longus harvest for cruciate reconstruction?? Me neither. Until today. Limited allograft access in Thailand requires innovative graft utilization.

[Kyle McCallum @physiokylemcc]

Very happy to have passed my first MSc placement today in acute neurosurgery at the Queen Elizabeth! Still blown away by how much you can learn in a short 5 week period. Very grateful to have had amazing practice educators🙌🏼

[Kyle McCallum @physiokylemcc]

@thecspstudents @clinicalphysio Great thank you! I’ll definitely check that out 👍🏼

[Kyle McCallum @physiokylemcc]

Buzzing to have my first MSc placement locked in at the QE!

Any pre-first placement tips would be hugely appreciated🙌🏼👨🏻‍⚕️

Interesting article about the knees-over-toes guy
