We were delighted to be with our wonderful team at #cft23 in London this weekend; boosting our skills&knowledge in supporting people in pain. Also very excited to meet up with consultant physio @margotphysio who is buzzing to take CFT training to @NHSGGCMSKPhysio 👏

Just yes. I am now in private practice solely and we decided to make the clinical week 3 days , an hour for lunch and an hour for assessments. Feels like a relief. And our pt’s often less complex. Staff health THE most important thing.

Flexed lumbar spine postures are associated with greater strength and efficiency than lordotic postures during a maximal lift in pain-free individuals
"These findings further question the manual handling advice to lift with a lordotic lumbar spine." ‼️‼️

Honoured to have @nanettemutrie, Professor in Physical Activity, here today. 🙌 Great to work with such an authority/leader in exercise accessibility and messages in our country..... and just such a lovely person tae boot.

Lockdown & working from home brings many challenges that at least in theory can impact on pain. There is MUCH MORE than being sedentary or sitting also. Changing social roles, job insecurity, health-anxiety, sleep disturbance, worry about the future. This isn't a sitting problem!
The culture in moving and handling messages needs to change, as it feeds fear and tension. More and more evidence points towards this. Another great study below. 👇

⭐Just because pain is difficult to change doesn't mean it can't.
⭐Just because people live well with pain doesn't mean it doesn't bother them.
⭐Just because patients and clinician value function doesn't mean pain reduction shouldn't also be a goal of treatment.

In line with recent Covid-19 advice, we are going to close West End Physio until the situation settles. Stay well and let's remember we are doing this to protect our vulnerable family and community members who are more at risk than most of us. Worth every minute of upset ❤

West End Physio is still open for appointments at present. However we completely understand if you would prefer not to come to the clinic. We can offer online Skype or telephone consultations as an alternative to in-person appointments.
We want your WHOLE pain story at West End Physio! Not just the where, but the what's, why's and how's... @ShonaHouston5 @clairemackelvie
We treat the back like any other other part of the body - instilling confidence to bend, flex, twist and lift in all ranges and positions. Backs are robust and not to be feared. They can get extremely sore, but that doesn't nec mean they are damaged.
