Just your regular reminder that 'agile' study designs (e.g., A/B) for digital technologies are cool, necessary, and worth investing in but not a panacea without risks.

All the latest evidence say that not only is exercise save during cancer treatment, it can greatly improve treatment outcomes and recovery as well as lower chances of reoccurrence. Of course any exercise programmes need to be tailored to the specific needs of the patient. https://lnkd.in/ejxiF8-K

Lower back pain is considered to be one of the most common reasons that people see a GP. As we know LBP can be an acute short-term condition or have long-term implications stemming from repetitive actions, a sedentary lifestyle, or injury. Sometimes, it can resolve itself, or it appears to have resolved, more often than not the body adapts and the symptoms diminish, but the underlying changes are still there which often leads to chronic conditions. Generally, you can help your clients along the way depending on what their complaint is of course. After all, lower back pain is a very broad term that covers a large area of the body and has a variety of underlying causes, there are many conditions we cannot help with, such as cancer and some degenerative issues. I once had a client who had a history of LBP and was being treated for ulcers. There were a couple of issues that started to worry me, one of them was his unintended weight loss, and after two sessions the area of concern had not changed but everywhere else he felt much better. I did not persist with the treatment, instead, I referred him to an osteopath, someone I trusted would look into it more closely. Sure enough, there were five tumours in the area of complaint. I tend to combine my treatments with a variety of approaches, depending on the underlying cause, but I really think in order to achieve the best results you need to mix it up a bit with your soft tissue work and include other modalities and a lifestyle change (probably the most difficult thing to ask your client to do, as most people find it very hard to change their habits). However, if I suspect it is an underlying problem that would be best treated by another professional, for example, an osteopath or physiotherapist, I’m never shy to refer on. Over the years, I’ve built up a network of people who I know share the same treatment ethos as myself - putting client well-being first. Although it could seem like you might lose money in the short term, trust me, when your clients know they’re being put first, they’ll recommend you to their friends.

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a condition that is both poorly recognised and under-diagnosed and, for many private physiotherapists who do refer patients on suspicion of this condition, validation of their concerns, and any achievement of timely intervention through the referral pathway for investigation and diagnosis can be a challenge.

Are you having physio or thinking about having physio? Something to bear in mind: We need YOU! If you are not committed or motivated to achieve results, then you are unlikely to get your desired outcome when having physio.    It is all relative to the individual. With the patients we see, this is generally not too much of an issue, but obviously there is some variability! It is important that you do your prescribed exercises. It would be great if we were “fixers”, but the reality is we require commitment from YOU as well. #physicaltherapists #recoverfaster #muscletension #injuryrehabilitation #footandankle #legpain #sportsphysiotherapy #eliteathlete #physiotherapists #sportstherapist #sportsrecovery #sportperformance #injuryrehab #sportsphysio #sportsrehab #patientcommitment #patientexercises

In therapy, as we are all aware, a range of “new” interventions come along at alarmingly frequent intervals, some but not all of which survive the test of time and earn, through gathering evidence and clinical uptake, a sustained place in the therapy toolkit.
