So important to consider the impact of what you say and how you say it. Just as certain words can be so detrimental, if chosen appropriately words can empower and support the individual with their new/presenting circumstance. #physiotalk
Words that can be avoided in an MSK setting. The choice of words you use can really damage patients abilities to want to get better themselves.
Remember to use wording that make people feel safe and comfortable! This really does have a big impact 😀
A clinical trial investigates a new treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Could this be the miracle drug millions of people have been waiting for? #ParkinsonsDrugTrial
RE-TITLE WATCH: Howzabout: "In patients undergoing major surgery, higher postoperative step counts (measured by Fitbit) were associated with shorter inpatient stays. "
Shared in the spirit of all of us trying to improve--Kaizen. BJSM has titles this editor would like to amend! k2
Is A&E really what you need?
Make sure you’re getting the right care, in the right place, at the right time this winter, by checking out our ‘in an emergency’ page here: https://t.co/PGT03Kj4ah #HelpUsHelpYou
After hip arthroscopy, it is important to avoid external rotation of the hip. In this biomechanical study, 35º of external rotation induced failure of the repairs. This is an important concept for physiotherapists when rehabbing these patients. https://t.co/COguvVUVsJ
Swimming was my passion. Then I had a stroke and my life fell apart. But with support I built up my strength and confidence and regained my ability to swim. @TheStrokeAssoc#WorldStrokeDay
Wonderful article in @HCAssistants showing just a few comments about how colleagues feel about #HCAs. To #TNA#AP#HCA, your grading does not represent your value.
Great Course with some excellent guest speakers @BeagleOrtho. Greater vigilance needed when assessing and managing spinal injuries due to symptom/presentation overlap and delayed onset #thinkvascular#foodforthought ☠️
Do we need to change what defines our profession? @thecsp 🤔

Gustavsson hop test battery. Repeat on both legs to work out the limb symmetry index. Should have a 10cm frame around the 40cm x 40cm square but you get the idea
A student Physio’s journey is certainly not always a straight line, and has lots of turns and twists along the way! How many students also feel this way?! @beardedPT@CarylAPhysio
Great fun, thought provoking course @PhysBobWood & @npennyclinic !!! Reconsidering how to challenge movement and alter exercises utilising advantageous/disadvantageous vectors across triplane. Sore tomorrow 😅 Thanks Guys 👏 #Neurofit
Innovative way of putting unpredictable demands/challenges on the body in a simple way to prepare for the reality of movement patterns #notalwayslinear
Here’s an idea where we utilized perturbations to introduce the concept of being comfortable in uncomfortable conditions. Including a chaotic component is a simple way we add a layer of challenge to increase the coordinative demands of the skill/ mvt pattern. #uofstrength
