25.01.2022 with @sportspodiatryinfo HAPPY HALLOWEEN - Is there anything more terrifying than this?!? Don’t have nightmares. _______________________________________... #halloween #pumpkin #nightmares #overpronation #sarcasm #podiatry #sportspodiatry #podiatrist #sportspodiatrist See more

25.01.2022 All things running related @zerenpt is your man- Patellar #tendinopathy is a challenging & recalcitrant condition that (-) impacts lower extremity function & has the potential to sideline athletes from sport for wks, mths, yrs, & can even lead to early retirement if managed haphazardly. While it generally involves the inferior pole of the patella, there are other flavors that often go underappreciated. Anecdotally, #quadriceps tendinopathy tends to occur in athletes who... repetitively go into deeper degrees of knee flexion/bend such as weightlifters . Those dealing with the classic & most common inferior pole variety tend to participate in activities involving high knee loads & energy storage & release activities such as . The mid-portion type tends to stem from direct or blunt trauma. Lastly, what we often see in is pain @ the level of the anterior or anterolateral tibial tubercle. While there are common denominators related to managing these different presentations, there are also subtle differences. A particular point that I’d like to make, which pertains to runners, is that minimizing compressive forces is particularly important as an early unloading strategy as this behaves like an insertional tendinopathy. This does not seem to be discussed much if at all in the literature. Examples of activities or positions involving high compressive forces would include sitting in a baseball catchers position, sitting with your knee fully flexed, sitting in a deep sofa, etc. It has also been my experience that we need to exercise caution in applying an in cadence/step rate because that has the tendency to result in a shorter ground contact time & greater lower extremity stiffness which anecdotally can further aggravate the knee. I speak from experience! Sometimes, however, it can ALSO be beneficial because it tends to shift the load away from the knee & reduce shock by upwards of 20% (The 5-20 Rule). As you can see in the second image this runner is dealing w/ swelling particularly at the level of the tibial tubercle. This is an important area to assess in working w/ runners. See more

24.01.2022 TENDONS - KISS Tendons are attached to a human with thoughts, beliefs and emotions Tendons can be slow to recover (not always though!) Tendon injuries can be frustrating for the injured person and the clinician... Tendons like individualised progressive load Tendons need to be gradually subjected to the demands of the desired task Titrate rehabilitation program as required throughout the journey- flare ups will happen No recipes in exercise prescription Find a realistic achievable dose of rehabilitation. Measure progression/outcomes/function to celebrate achievements along the way

23.01.2022 Start moving and the muscles will start contracting. KISS

23.01.2022 Ok maybe Ron doesn’t know his rotator cuff from his Ubulus and Upper Dorsimus . However @adammeakins does! And this blog is a fantastic read on how to educate your clients about their cuff tears and take away some of the fear around this common diagnosis. How are rotator cuff tears just like a hole in a blanket?

21.01.2022 A great reference to assist in informing your patients about normal age-related changes we often see when imaging the lumbar spine. Shared by Toby Hall.

21.01.2022 Exercise can come in many forms. Ask your clients what they enjoy. Yes certain injuries need some specific loading exercises, however general movement and activity in many different forms will often help! Thanks @paintoolkit for the

20.01.2022 SKWATZ . There is not a day on social media where I dont see some ‘expert’ telling us all how we all need to ‘fix our skwat’ As much as I do think some p...eople need some help to skwat better The belief that we should all be able to skwat like children is UTTER BULLSHIT Children are NOT small adults and adults are NOT big children There are some huge anthropometric and kinematic differences between children and adults that makes them move TOTALLY DIFFERENTLY For example have you seen how a toddler walks compared to an adult? So the next time a social media skwat mobility expert says we should all be able to skwat like children Ask them if we should all walk, talk, and act like them as well! I mean if im gonna skwat like a child, I want to act like one too! #Physio #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #sportsphysio #sportsphysiotherapy #trainer #personaltrainer #coach #strengthcoach #osteopath #osteopathy #chiropractic #chiropractor #sportstherapy #sportstherapist #rehab #therapy #myotherapy #kinesiotherapy #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #dptstudent #shouldercomplex #cantgowronggettingstrong

15.01.2022 Bit bored today.... Is that knee crepitus or just a treatment table that needs some WD40?

15.01.2022 Shut up! Thanks to Ian for these great series of post. @sportspodiatryinfo - What are the three most important parts of an initial consultation? As the old saying goes: History, history, history. There are many facets to the history taking, but the focus of this post is how (or if) we listen and the tendency we have to interrupt. We may do this as we are worried that if we don’t interrupt an individual speaking they will just continue to speak indefinitely. Perhaps we are ...also running late in clinic which compounds this worry. Maybe we also have certain details we want to document as we consider them important, so we interrupt discussion whilst we think of them; or maybe we just have a very structured initial assessment pro forma which we favour adhering to with minimal flexibility (this is the main reason I’m personally not a fan of ‘initial assessment forms’). We must constantly remind ourselves that there is plenty of time to go back and ask questions to ensure we solicit the information we feel we want/need (if there isn’t then a review of diary time allocated to initial consultations is sensible).

14.01.2022 PHYSIO APPOINTMENTS . Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face Mike Tyson We all know that in an ideal world we would love all our consultati...ons run smoothly and cover everything that we’re supposed to! But in the real world it is very different, and anyone who says different isn’t living in the real world This is just a bit of humour and a little sarcasm based on my own experiences of working as a physio for 20+ years Thanks to @phd_comics for the inspiration for this and apologies for the small print... sorry not sorry! #Physio #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #sportsphysio #sportsphysiotherapy #trainer #personaltrainer #coach #strengthcoach #osteopath #osteopathy #chiropractic #chiropractor #sportstherapy #sportstherapist #rehab #therapy #myotherapy #kinesiotherapy #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #dptstudent #shouldercomplex #cantgowronggettingstrong #respectthesteps

14.01.2022 I’m sure they don’t ‘hate’ us, that’s a bit harsh. But rapport is key and this is funny. Bit of hump day humour from @physiogram

13.01.2022 Quads are King/Queen Yes, the hamstrings, calf and glutes are important too - but the single most important muscle group for short term and long term knee h...ealth in ACLR patients are the QUADS. For a vast majority of patients, closed chain quads (Squats, Bulgarians, Leg Press etc) won't get the job done, so open chain (knee extensions) will be needed - at the right time, right ROM, right load of course.

13.01.2022 We hear a bunch about non specific power back pain not existing or being a thing but is that what non specific actually means It’s actually about having qualit...y tests to actually identify a nociceptive source so it could still be an issue in the tissue In reality it could be lots of things all Interacting at the same time. Just because you can find a nociceptive or tissue source does not mean it is the only thing or other things can’t exacerbate the problem

09.01.2022 Lowerback pain and sleeping. ‘I even went and got a new mattress and my lowerback is still sore’. Matresses and sleeping positions to often cop the blame for lower back issues. It’s important to remember correlation does not imply causation. We are often told to sleep or not to sleep in certain positions as it might have a positive or negative impact on our spine.... A lot of people wish they could sleep in certain positions but don’t due to worry. If we look at the research on sleep positions and lower back pain/‘health’ you’re probably not going to find much. Sure if you’re having an acute episode of pain find a better suited position while it’s settling but if you’re uncomfortable you will naturally move throughout the night anyway. You can’t control your movements when you’re asleep! Your best sleep position is your next sleep position! Back, stomach, side, fetal, pretzel, spoon. So sleep in that favoured position. The most important thing is that you get a comfortable good nights sleep! Not one thinking about the best position for your lower back.

08.01.2022 STOP BLAMING TECHNIQUE . All too often bad technique or poor form gets blamed for injuries or pain in the gym Many will say its your butt wink, hip shift, or ...knee valgus that causes your back, hip, or knee problems When in fact there are many other factors that are far more likely, but far less sexy, to be the cause of pain or injury experienced when training Unfortunately many of these other non sexy factors are ignored or not recognised by many clinicians, coaches or trainers and so bad technique or poor form gets the blame This is not to say that technique and form can’t contribute to injury or pain But if you’re ONLY or ALWAYS blaming a butt wink, a hip shift, or some knee valgus for an injury or pain when exercising you are missing the bigger picture Or called GOATA, Seedman, Vinnie, Bent Bogbrush, or Skwat University or something similar . And thanks to @kristian.ekstrom for letting me use his awesome graphic for this post... pls go follow him #Physio #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #sportsphysio #sportsphysiotherapy #trainer #personaltrainer #coach #strengthcoach #osteopath #osteopathy #chiropractic #chiropractor #sportstherapy #sportstherapist #rehab #therapy #myotherapy #kinesiotherapy #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #dptstudent #shouldercomplex #cantgowronggettingstrong

07.01.2022 One of the more popular MWM techniques for (supposedly) improving ankle dorsiflexion. Sometimes it feels that barely a day goes by when someone’s not promoting their practice with this gem (or the even more popular talocrural MWM!) http://ow.ly/z67f30r5ali

07.01.2022 Look out beloooooooow! Credit: Ryohei Hayashi who shared this video over on Twitter of an elite high jumper (PB 2.28m) performing a 2.1m drop jump. Don't try t...his at home kids. I'm serious. Don't try this at home just "for fun". You will break something. To be able to pull this off takes years and years of training, and exceptional plyometric ability. For us mere mortals, I suggest you start at a much lower intensity and first land how to absorb forces from the ground (tall to shorts). Then progress to low level plyometrics (skipping/hopping). Then to high level plyometrics (hurdle jumps, triple hop for distance) before contemplating anything like this. Even then, make sure you start at a height like 30cm drop and then gradually progress from there (as your sporting requirements dictates). After more rehab/exercise advice? Make sure you're following Learn.Physio as we've got plenty of great content coming out on www.learn.physio over the next few months

06.01.2022 Thanks to The Kettlebell Physio for this one.

06.01.2022 Full credit to my body for knowing which muscles to contact/relax at the right time. Shoutout to the multiple muscles involved with today’s pushing, pulling, lifting movements. I think I might have spiked some load though listening to @rageagainstthemachine

05.01.2022 Here’s one you can blame on being ‘out of alignment’

03.01.2022 That’s close. Maybe we can tweak it a little?

02.01.2022 This study is getting some attention over on Twitter. High intensity training vs low intensity training vs attention control group for knee OA. Result: No significant differences. Pains complex right.

02.01.2022 FOOT POSTURE . Just like spinal posture there are many myths and misconceptions about foot posture A common belief is that foot pronation, which is the rollin...g in of the foot and ankle is bad, risky and dangerous However, there is no evidence to support this In fact foot pronation is the most common foot posture and doesnt mean you get injured more than those weirdos with perfectly neutral feet In fact pronation may actually be protective against running related injuries However, those with the rare extreme differences in foot shape may have greater risk But for most of us foot posture is not something to worry about! Instead runners should focus on more important modifiable factors such as their running distance, intensity, and speeds, as well as their recovery strategies such as sleep, hydration, and nutrition! #Physio #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #sportsphysio #sportsphysiotherapy #trainer #personaltrainer #coach #strengthcoach #osteopath #osteopathy #chiropractic #chiropractor #sportstherapy #sportstherapist #rehab #therapy #myotherapy #kinesiotherapy #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #dptstudent #shouldercomplex #cantgowronggettingstrong
