At LASS we offer TeleHealth. This is why. Elite cricketer Baxter Holt was scheduled for spine surgery, but sought a final opinion via a Telehealth appointment. In this episode, Professor Peter O’Sullivan interviews Baxter to identify his experiences, worries and concerns relating to the use of Telehealth. https://bodylogic.physio//episode-2-empowered-beyond-pain/

Amazing how non-responsive IG & FB are to theft & re-purposing of my content. I filled out their online forms many times. Never heard back. While watching my account switch names. Then be used to sell who knows what BS. The final coup de grâce seeing them delete of my posts. Worst costumer support imaginable. Personally losing followers doesn’t bother me. I’m not on social media to collect followers. However, my mission is to upskill movement specialists in how to apply ...client-centered, evidence-informed best practices. There is a crisis in the current widening evidence-practice gap in physical activity promotion & musculoskeletal medicine. Teaching others how to promote healthy longevity & sustainable athleticism is my focus at www.firstprinciplesofmovement.com & www.backtoactivity.com. We live in an era where life span has outpaced healthspan. But, there is much we can do. Together as a community we can address social determinants of health, community & urban planning, reimbursement issues, as well as the public’s perception of status quo myths re: over/detection & over-treatment of musculoskeletal issues. Individually we can level up to connect the dots for our clients from their stories to a relatable plan. We can avoid the hype of popular cookie cutter fix it approaches. We can take aim at validating people’s pain & goals while giving them hope. Most of all we can empower people by being their advocate, connecting them with a broader community of social support, collaborating with others them on a self-management program.

A rotator cuff tear is one of the most common diseases among shoulder disorders in our daily practice. Given the fact that conservative treatment is effective in patients with rotator cuff tears1,2 and that the clinical outcome of re-tear patients after surgery is as good as those with successful repair,3 it is most likely that the very existence of a cuff tear does not always cause shoulder symptoms. In the literature, there have been many reports describing the existence o...f the asymptomatic rotator cuff tears in large numbers.4e6 However, there are few reports demonstrating the prevalence of asymptomatic tears. in the general population. The purpose of this study was to clarify the prevalence of symptomatic and asymptomatic rotator cuff tears in the general population by conducting mass- screening in one village. conclusion, our survey of 664 residents in one village demonstrated that the prevalence of rotator cuff tear was 22.1% in the general population, which increased with age. Asymptomatic tear was twice as common as symptomatic tear.

https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/52/24/1543 The majority of persistent non-traumatic musculoskeletal pain disorders do not have a pathoanatomical diagnosis that adequately explains the individual’s pain experience and disability. structural changes observed on imaging that are highly prevalent in pain free populations, such as rotator cuff tears, intervertebral disc degeneration, labral tears and cartilage changes, are ascribed to individuals as a diagnosis for their conditio...n. In this context, this information may result in the individual believing that their body is damaged, fragile and in need of protection, resulting in a cascade of movement and activity avoidance behaviours and seeking interventions to correct the structural deficits.1 This trend has led to exponential increases in elective surgery rates and associated costs, while the efficacy of repairing (eg, rotator cuff and medical meniscal tears), reshaping (eg, subacromial decompression) or replacing (eg, lumbar intervertebral discs) the structures considered to be at fault has been substantially challenged.210Second, it is arguable that musculoskeletal clinicians have invented treatments for conditions that may not exist or be readily detected (such as trigger points, sacral torsions), and they have developed and perpetuated treatment paradigms (such as ‘correcting’ upper body posture and muscle imbalances) that do not conform to current research evidence.1114 These two trends have created an expectation that interventions (frequently ‘passive’) will provide a ’cure’, and typically quickly, with minimal self-contribution. #Excessive_Imaging_for_Musculoskeletal_Problems #Overutilization_of_Surgery #Low_Back_Problems_and_Sciatica

Every Move Counts! We have a worldwide inactivity crisis. 25% of adults are almost completely inactive, exerting themselves for less than 30 minutes a week. 80% of children fail to amass the hour a day of movement ... 1/6 deaths are due to physical inactivity. If we don’t use our biggest muscles, notably in our legs, for long periods, there is a cellular effect that makes our bodies less good at breaking down certain fats, which can affect the way they process glucose. for all the focus on 10,000 steps a day, among a sample of older US women, those who managed 4,400 steps had nearly half the chance of dying during the research period than those who averaged 2,700. research has shown that if people nudge their body into even tiny amounts of effort, it can bring astonishing benefits. A big shift in thinking is the new emphasis on every move counts For years, the mantra was that people should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, ideally in half-hour chunks. But as I-Min Lee, the Harvard professor and leading light of inactivity studies, tells me, doing something is almost always better than nothing. Updated health guidance now talks up activity in chunks of as little as 10 minutes. The US government guidelines on activity note that, on the same day you manage a single period of moderate-to-vigorous activity, you will see a reduction in blood pressure better insulin sensitivity improved sleep fewer anxiety symptoms, and improved cognitive function Join us at LASS for our online activity groups.

Physical inactivity is one of the biggest public health threats of this century It greatly increases the risk of non-communicable diseases. Prior to the pandemic, physical inactivity was already a critical issue... a WHO survey of 1.6 million participants in 146 countries showed - 81% of children and adolescents aged 1117 were not active enough for optimal health. The pandemic lockdowns has disrupted access to physical activity and sport. Virtual classrooms translated into forfeited recess and free play while kids were thrown in front of computer screens and confined to a sedentary lifestyle. In large urban centres with many living in high rises, lockdowns on playgrounds and parks removed options for running or playing. https://bjsm.bmj.com//early/2021/01/27/bjsports-2021-103922 #The_Inactivity_Crisis
