MY RESIGNATION FROM THE LABOUR PARTY
Having spent 35 years in the Labour Party yesterday’s disgusting attack on the sick and disabled was the last straw - this is my letter to @Keir_Starmer 👇
I’ve got some new content for you all—Bits n Bobs Content!
This idea has been simmering in the old grey matter for a few years, and I’ve finally turned it into something tangible.
Tissue Abundance is the topic—an exploration of navigating the choppy waters of diagnostic labels in Low Back Pain.
I started with some drawings, which led to a deep dive into relevant literature, culminating in a 13-minute YouTube video. Finally, I’ve created a set of 14 high-spec illustrations for those who might find them useful.
Below is the link to everything you’ll need. Feedback is always welcome!

I’ve teamed up with foot & ankle specialist @lizbayleyphysio to create 4 strengthening programmes for Plantar Heel Pain. 3 are based on Osborne et al. (2023) and 1 is our own ‘LiTHE’ programme. There’s lots to consider with these exercises which we’ll explore in this thread 🧵
@AdamMeakins@adamdobson123@DerekGriffin86 I don’t think these people with back pain have a fear of bending to put their shoes on, so long as they can do it their way - change that by asking them to e.g. flex their spine while doing it and it becomes a different scenario

A 2023 study sheds light on the impact of running on knee health.
📊 The study, involving 7,194 runners and 6,947 non-runners, has revealed intriguing findings on knee osteoarthritis development.
🔴 Runners:
Average age: 56 years, Follow-up: 56 months
🆚
🔵 Non-Runners:
Average age: 62 years, Follow-up: 100 months
📈 Results:
A. Non-runners experienced more knee pain compared to runners.
B. Despite one study indicating a higher prevalence of osteophytes in runners, overall, no significant difference was found in knee osteoarthritis or cartilage thickness on MRI.
C. The progression to knee replacement due to osteoarthritis was lower in runners (2.6%) compared to non-runners (4.6%).
🏁 Conclusion:
Running does not worsen knee osteoarthritis signs in the short term and might even act as a protective factor against knee pain.
Let's keep moving for our joint health! 🦵🏃♀️
