Does the addition of motor control or strengthening exercises to education result in better outcomes for rotator cuff-related shoulder pain? 💪 Brilliant PhD work looking to improve outcomes for patients with rotator cuff pain 👏 @Marco_dube 👉 bit.ly/3RwDY8O

Intuitively we have all known this. Are we just going to hide this in our back pocket like we do so many other things?

National Athletic Trainer Day isn't until March 1, but last night was an important reminder to applaud ATCs and other medical professionals every day. They work long hours and prepare meticulously over an entire career to be ready for a moment like that. We appreciate you all.🙏

I always tell my ACL patients to increase their protein intake but does anyone utilize creatine and/or protein shakes in their ACL patients and noticed a difference in quad return? The study got me thinking. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful… – at Dedham, MA

Frequent aerobic exercise (1-5 days/week) may reduce the risk of colds and other respiratory infections by nearly 50%. Upper respiratory symptoms were also 32-41% less severe among those who engaged in frequent exercise than those who rarely exercised.

High-intensity exercise causes muscles to produce lactate which gets into the brain where it plays a direct role in the production of norepinephrine & serotonin. Analysis of 15 studies found aerobic exercise and particularly high-intensity exercise effectively treat anxiety.

As we get older, we lose muscle mass/strength. But if we've been doing resistance training, we will be better prepared for an unpredictable hospitalization. Analysis of 10 studies found that 60 min of resistance training per week is linked to a 27% lower risk of premature death.

Employers shouldn't discourage side hustles—or hesitate to hire people who have them. Data: after engaging evenings on their side gigs, people perform better the next day in their full-time jobs. Side hustles aren’t a distraction. They’re a source of energy and empowerment.

The main reason people reject science isn't political ideology. It's a lack of critical thinking. Data: across the political spectrum, more sophisticated thinkers were generally more accurate in evaluating evidence. Teaching reasoning skills is a key to depolarization.

I keep saying this but, it needs repeating. We have youth sports all wrong. Dr James Andrews- “Athletes ages 14-and-under should have a two-month break with no organized leagues or intense training, Three to four would be better. Do conditioning, flexibility and strength work."

If you wait until you feel ready to take on a new challenge, you might never pursue it at all. Few people wake up suddenly feeling prepared to lead or create. They become prepared by taking the leap anyway. Our greatest regrets are not our failures, but our failures to try.
