I have an interview tomorrow with the BBC on working from home & back pain. Key messages for prevention & reducing symptoms. What would be the top 3 messages you would want members of the public to be aware of? 👩‍💻🧑‍💻#WorkingFromHome

One of the biggest myths of marathon running is that muscle cramping mid race is due to dehydration and/or electrolyte loss. The reality is that it is far more likely to result from fatigue and muscle damage. journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/A…

Many key workers are discovering the benefits of riding a bike - for happiness, health and short trips. The #BigBikeRevival project is offering free bike loans and repairs to help even more frontline staff start cycling. Find a centre near you: cyclinguk.org/bigbikerevival

When it comes to diagnosing #lowbackpain, MRI is an egregious false alarm generator. Results are so misleading that they’re worse than useless out of clinical context. Wise use of MRI is a superpower, often used irresponsibly: overused & abused, an over-medicalization disaster.

ACL injuries can definitely be managed without surgery. Please make sure you ask your consultant for physiotherapy referral prior to surgery. Even if you decide on a surgical option, prehab will help with your rehab!
If you want to hear a bit more about non-operative ACL management and what rehabilitation should look like, check out my interview I did with Sebastiano Nutarelli for the NovaVia Project 👍 Interview link ⬇️ lnkd.in/gyQbuws lnkd.in/gKQXR55

This is going to revolutionise access to interpreters! We've been using @attendanywhere for the past month and it's been great! Being able to assess and treat while maintaining isolation has been key to keeping our staff and patients safe.
We are live with Attend Anywhere. Here’s how you use the service in BSL. Part 1, part 2 in comments 😊⁦@NHSNearMe⁩ ⁦@NHS_Lothian⁩

Well done Whipps! Great achievement!
Yesterday at @WhippsCrossHosp, five of the MSK Physiotherapy Outpatients team shaved their heads and beards in support of their colleagues. They've raised an amazing £2,000 for our emergency COVID-19 appeal! See photos and support them at: bartscharity.org.uk/news/wx-…

For all of you swimmers out there who can't get into a pool during the lockdown. You can buy these resistance bands/belts on Amazon for fairly cheap!
Most of us have been able to adapt training so that can maintain some sort of base fitness. But the majority of swimmers are literally unable to dip a toe in the water. Here’s a post from a while back that can help maintain or develop upper limb strength. #swim #swimmer
