Exercise therapy works for the right person, with the right condition, at the right time, done the right way, for the right length of time.. some of the time!
@thebfrpros Bigger issue may be spinal inhibition, present after joint injuries with subsequent long-term deficits in neuromuscular control and persistent symptoms.. Restoring motor control fails with traditional rehabilitation programs. An opinion piece of mine:

@SandCResearch This holds true for isometric contractions. What about explosive contractions? The threshold for activating larger motor units is reduced, right? Or is there a general reduction of threshold for all MUs..?

New Chapter in "Knee Arthroscopy and Knee Preservation Surgery" with @_LukeHughes_
The recent chapter on Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) following knee surgery unveils its pivotal role in post-operative rehabilitation.
Knee arthroscopic surgery often leads to muscle atrophy & weakness, hindering physical function.
BFRT emerges as a potent tool, facilitating recovery from the early stages post-surgery.
BFRT can be applied:
- passively without exercise
- in combination with neuromuscular electrical stimulation
- in combination with resistance exercise
- in combination with aerobic exercise
to elicit several beneficial adaptations to the muscular and aerobic systems
It surpasses conventional low-intensity exercises, yielding comparable benefits to high-intensity training.
Notably, BFRT shows promise in ameliorating physical function, pain, and swelling, crucial markers in the early phases of knee surgery recovery.
This insight underscores the significance of integrating BFRT into post-operative rehabilitation protocols, offering a pathway to enhance patient outcomes and minimize the risk of re-injury and early-onset knee osteoarthritis

@MarvinStiebler@Retlouping 1. focused ESWT for late union after osteosynthesis 09/23. Just started, going for 3 sessions over three weeks. 3400 pulses 0.3mJ/mm2; 2. BFRT at 80% LOP with PTS Delphi: calve training, qceps through leg raises etc (30/15/15/15) #Shockwave#bfrt@thebfrpros
@PhysioMeScience Love it! The recommendations for SITs and HIITs integrated in non pharmalogical care for common NCDs and NDs to improve CRF and QL is on the rise.. now onwards to tackle barriers for HPs and patients alike!
@Retlouping ...But we must consider benefit vs risk, e.g. for exercise for older adults. Sedentariness has always been - and still is - far more insidious and dangerous...
For 2024 the Boiling Frog analogy shall be put to rest.
Going forward I will be using the “Snacking boiling crab analogy”
Slow subtle changes over time aren’t registered as danger until……. 🦀 😂 why so called pathology on MRI isn’t painful.

@Retlouping And to need is to want.
Sometimes what you need isn't what you want Sometimes what you want isn't what you need Sometimes you don't know what you need So you go for what you want And some other times you get what you need even when it isn't what you want ..

Examination of overall treatment effect and the proportion attributable to contextual effect in osteoarthritis: meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

majority (75%) of the overall treatment effect in OA RCTs is attributable to contextual effects
@Retlouping And the inherent danger of sugar pills?? The detrimental psychoneuroimmunological effects as soon as saccharose hits the palate is completely being understimated!
Extending our knowledge on the hypoalgesic effects of blood flow restriction to moderate (50% 1RM) load comparisons…and BFR training appears to be better…look out for this next year!
The curse of midlife weight creep is a phenomenon where adults gain a small amount of weight each year. This weight gain has an impact on #osteoarthritis and other symptoms.
