If the knee looks good, it probably is. That includes ROM + dynamometry (don't guess, assess). Local problems cause local inhibition, so good strength makes the knee less likely. Post-activity knee pain + even a hint of hip history? Check the hips. More nickilicphysio.substack.com/…

The Dunning Kruger concept is universal. Mentoring can help flatten the curve so the fall into the Valley of Despair isn't so big. Encouraging unlearning (or knowledge shelving) as well as learning, in the constant presence of a caseload, can do the rest. open.substack.com/pub/nickil…

If there is no need for specificity in SMT then why do we need to take multi-level courses over years at great cost? Modern MSK keyclinskills.ca

1/Diagnosing discitis can be a pain in the backside! When it’s easy, it’s easy--but when it’s hard, it’s REALLY HARD! Only one of these is discitis—can you tell which one? This #tweetorial will help show you how! #meded #medtwitter #FOAMed #spine #radtwitter #radres

I am much less interested in trying to explain someone’s pain than I am trying to understand what impact it has had on them

A new thread 🧵 based on the last 48 hrs and me consistently saying that pain is reduced in many cases before or without any strength gains from resistance exercises. Is it true that weak muscles don’t mean pain? Do. You need to be stronger to get less pain? Enjoy the ride.

It takes thousands of patients as a healthcare professional to realise: - You never "fix" anyone. - You can probably help most patients. - There's others who can help when you can't. - Some patients don't get 100% and that's not your fault, it's reality, but you can still help

If you’re still wondering what a “15-Minute City” really means, at least as proposed by Paris Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo, it’s really simple. Everything you need is available within a 15 minute walk, wheel chair or bike-ride from home. Everything. NOT by car trip. Not even transit.

I love finishing my day with back-to-back Patellofemoral Pain patients. Here's a handy evidence-based blog that explains how we now manage kneecap-joint related pain (pain at front of knee): physioclinician.medium.com/s… (Hint: it's a little more than ITB rolling and VMO strength):
