Great piece on @BBCBreakfast Physios if you want to know more about working with people with ME visit our @PhysiosForME website
Important to recognise that the type of pacing that is needed for people with ME is different to our usual approach physiosforme.com/resources-f…

First year anniversary of our book. So proud of what we produced. – at Belfast, Northern Ireland
A year ago today (after much hard work) our book was published.
We've heard many accounts of people sharing it with their physios and positive feedback from lots of different professions.
You can find out all the info on the book at our blog post

Please contact me if you would like to get involved in this study. We know that some #pwME have high levels of lactic acid but there are no studies that identify what is normal during every day activity. We want to compare #pwme and healthy comparators. Thanks
🚨Now Recruiting
"A pilot study to explore the everyday levels of lactic acid in people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and healthy controls"
We are looking for 20 #pwme in N Wales, Liverpool, Manchester, Greater Manchester, Cheshire or South Lancashire

This is important: it could turn out that beta blockers, which we so widely use for treatment of #Dysautonomia, have anti-inflammatory properties via decreasing T cells. This makes sense because we know that sympathetic overactivity is associated with a pro-inflammatory state.

Most would probably agree that good clinical communication is relational. But the added dimension is that we need to be in relationship with ourselves as well as with our patients. Hope this article gives some insight and practical guidance. Let us know!! jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.…

#WorldPhysiotherapyDay the theme is arthritis/inflammatory arthritis, so I feel its right to share my #SCREENDEM tool which I designed to help me in my efforts not to miss inflammatory arthritis, I still use this daily, if you have used this & found it helpful please RT share

This is a real learning point. Through a patient kindly sharing, we can consider impact - my patient was keen to share this through any networks, so we thought we would . Patients always make you reflect don’t they . – at South East, England
This week's #ClinicalInsight reminds us to be critical of clinical reasoning.

You cannot watch this video and not be heartbroken. We must create a system and culture where our most senior clinicians can speak up, be believed & action be taken. My heart goes out to Dr Jayaram - what an incredible human. I hope he has the support & recognition he deserves ❤️

Interesting new research on breath attention
Thanks @NormanFarb et al -
and especially for open access!
👇
Is attending to the breath different from visual attention?
A new paper with @zoeyxyzuo and Cynthia Price is now out in #eNeuro, with some surprising results: eneuro.org/content/10/6/ENEU…

Absolutely this and it's not just children with #longcovid and #ME that are experiencing awful treatment from medical services. It's happened for decades for #pwme. Well said @BinitaKane. More medical professionals and #ahps need to open their eyes and truly listen @PhysiosForME
