I’m struggling to understand this. How do I reconcile natural healing and RTM in line with this?
it suggests that pathoanatomy is just a part of tissue change, I understand, which from a materialist perspective would help to explain, I suspect in part, pain trajectory research.
Tissue with pathology including degen changes can become symptomatic then settle to asymptomatic because of injury, other systemic & disease issues that fluctuate. The body attempts repair. Pain is usually associated with some pathology, but the reverse does not have to be true

I respect your skepticism and caution James. You can see who I am if you go to my about section of my blog.
But then I am a hypocrite because having a moniker as mine has most likely got me followers. Albeit likely 70% are probably pornbots.

@Philip_Goff found your podcast via @iamstephenwest loved this episode.
In terms of your points on evidence for strong emergence of consciousness in the brain and your points on locality. 1/2

Has anyone who has strongly opposed and explicitly spoken out about @hubermanlab recent podcast on back pain contacted him to discuss what was shared and offered a different perspective?

You’ve hit the nail here. Indeed echo chambers.
Although I recall a conversation with @kieranosull when he did share evidence based back pain facts, which was broken down, there was a significant amount of opposition from the general public.
I get that he missed the mark here.......but to illuminate what he said wrong w/o breaking down what he should've said is just an incomplete story that only your peers will care about. The general public and the general practitioner needs you to be better at implementation.

Honestly, placing value in our approaches & tools is not the way. It’s the definition of insanity, especially when it’s been done before. New approaches have emerged & LBP continues to ⬆️. Many factors here. We need to be talking about best collective roles in healthcare.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY?
In this month's #MSKMag editorial, I admit to my growing frustration that we are complicit in an escalating problem.
But I am confident that this month's multi-disciplinary authors are absolutely part of the solution.
Fantastic pieces from:
- Ian Griffiths🦶
- Jo Rycroft🏃♀️
- Oliver Thomson❓
- Andrew MacMillan 🩻
- Neil Langridge🧑🎓
- Jo Turner 🫂
- Nick Livadas 💉
Why do we keep using crumbly, tasty, decadent, melt in the mouth food to describe intervertebral discs?
The disc is none of those things.
It’s tough, grisly, really really chewy, and incredibly resilient!
@Retlouping show us the video!

Love your guidance for patients on here @adamdobson123 I follow a very similar approach podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcas…
It’s interesting reading the claims of little research on post traumatic OA following ankle sprain/fracture. Ankle sprains the most common & normal MSK injury. With 70% going on to develop OA, should this be regarded as normal too?
Just seems to instill fragility in people.

Chris Kenedi talking about the importance of debriefing, supervision, language use. I’m reassured we offer supervision for all clinicians at APM. #nzps24

Joletta Belton discussing the deeper phenomenological experiences of living with pain. If pain is not a thing then we have to discuss and understand these individual experiences. #NZPS24
Lovely to see Joletta Belton again and to see so many curious clinicians at #nzps24
I’ve written about pathologising in the past, but only ever thought about this from a biomechanical faults perspective, which has been extensively refuted.
However, I’m seeing more & more evidence that suggests the term ‘pathology’ at other levels is epistemically fallacious.

Hey clinicians who manip , just curious, has anyone ever done like a sham manip procedure (like follow the steps but don’t manip) with verbal placebo/priming compared to a true manip procedure to see what the outcome is?
