Been an interesting day with #TherapyLive. Made me realise how much I don't know, and how much there is to learn. Not sure if that's daunting or motivating.. Maybe both!

'It’s OK to slouch, OK to sit up straight, OK to bend and pick something up, as long as it’s varied. When we think about a desk set-up, the key advice is to let comfort be the guide.' @ashjamesphysio provides advice on working from home in the Telegraph. telegraph.co.uk/health-fitne…

A shocking one in six people die due to physical inactivity according to Gov.UK (2019). The same figure as smoking. This highlights the need for exercise prescription and preventative strategies to overcome the increase in non-communicable disease.

"American sports doctor Dr Gabe Mirkin is the man who came up with RICE back in 1978. In 2015, he publicly conceded the new evidence showed it did not work. 'Cold and ice are safe pain medicines, but they delay healing.' smh.com.au/national/putting-…

There's little evidence ice is good for injuries like rolled ankles. Now, some researchers suspect it may delay the healing process.

18/18 [SUMMARY] 💥Why is hyperoxia harmful?💥 ➢ Increasing O₂ leads to systemic vasoconstriction via a reactive oxygen species mediated reduction in NO ➢ This may result in decreased perfusion of vital organs ➢ Pulmonary and systemic arteries have different mitochondria!
