Pleasure to continue supporting @AFLLondon’s best club and a fantastic community for those making the big move from home.
Sweet Jesus I’m a mess. 😭
Well worth 2 mins if you are a parent teapawt.net/ItsDxvd/status/1337362…
It's nice to be wanted and needed, but can we better educate patients on what we know works in pain and injury management and how?

There are many social issues and limitations associated with commuting, but a shift towards choosing active commutes or parts thereof where possible would have a positive influence on the long-term health of many.

Including socially distant exercise in government lockdown recommendations may be a nudge towards positive health behaviour.
Well done if you have started!
A few thoughts on helping those commencing new exercise to keep going during and after lockdown.

Non-stop learning today through #MasteringMuscles. Fascinating transition through the what, why and how of muscle injuries into practice. Well done @MickGiakoumis @sportsmapnet
It's easy to get carried away starting and progressing exercise, especially when there is little else to do.
My thoughts on starting new exercise and progressing safely during lockdown.

I, like many therapists, am concerned about maintaining patients progress and health (and my own!) during government restrictions.
Promising discussion of how to train smart and keep your gains.
#beactive #find30 #exercise #coFIT19
How do fitness, physiology & performance decline with detraining, and what can you do to prevent it? In a time of global #lockdown, these questions are relevant to all whose training is severely restricted. Here’s a talk that tries to provide some answers: youtube.com/watch?v=ByD9HjJL…

My thoughts on the benefits and challenges to remote consultations and their rise to prominence in musculoskeletal physiotherapy in response to COVID-19.

Well done @ACSEP_ @apaphysio @ESSA_NEWS @SMA_News @ama_media @sportsaustralia
Thanks @LaTrobeSEM @ProfJillCook - stimulating discussion on clinical reasoning for assessing, diagnosing & treating tendon pain & enjoyed live questions. Looking forward to future sessions!

Silver lining - similar functional improvements in >65yo training at varied %1RM.
Body & light-weight (hand-weights, cans, bottles) exercise keeps you doing what you need to when you can't leave the house!

A meta-analysis tickling my bias for exercise & quarantine/isolation.
If you're older or not usually active, you'll lose strength faster.
In-home strengthening can easily mitigate this - chat to your physio!

Let's hope it continues once virus is controlled and that short term vulnerable groups are able to safely maintain some exercise at home when they might usually walk, cycle, run outdoors to manage blood pressure, blood sugar, mental health etc

It is too bad that it took a pandemic to underscore the health benefits of physical activity. Right now the benefits to mental health and immune function are highly valued. Just to be explicit--I am referring to the proven activity-mediated stimulus to immune function. 1/2

Despite circumstances, pleasing to hear @drwilliambird state & advocate WHO activity guidelines on BBC:
- Moderate cardio 150min/wk
- Strengthening exercise 2x/wk
Hopefully not unnoticed & more find ways to achieve this within government #covid19UK advice.
#beactive #exercise
A great start.
People need to keep safe from the virus. This can help them stay healthy and active too.
Private health insurers have announced funding for one on one physio telehealth for a range of presentations commencing Tuesday 14 April. This is the outcome we have been pushing for – safe, remote delivery of care for patients. ow.ly/9VRN50yVTFC
