To make a a claim as bold as saying that a type of shoes reduces fracture risk is a HUGE CALL.

For reference the research shows resistance exercise most likely improves bone density but struggles to then make the next leap to that then reducing fracture risk, citing the need for thousands of study participants over tens of years to know if that’s true with some degree of certainty.

Of course footwear companies are not subject to the same level of scrutiny as medical journals, and also, not to the same level as healthcare professionals - we aren’t allowed to use patient testimonials in our marketing .

There’s a reason we have never shared anything related to whether our individual clients see bone density improvements or not - that’s for the research to show, as individual stories / anecdotes are not reliable.

Dislike ads that prey on vulnerable people with health conditions 😡

Ps I cannot find a single paper linking barefoot shoes to bone health other than in the context of runners and stress fractures & minimalist shoes are not coming out on top there !

🥹🥹 I love these videos!!

And can confirm that Gail has one of the strongest lat pull downs in our classes 💁🏼‍♀️

So good to see people progress over the years 🤩

Post motivated by listening to podcast around whether it’s necessary to lift heavy for bone density or not. In the ep they discuss issues they’ve had on social media with the “everything can help” narrative.

Yes: good for accessibility & not gate keeping & not being scary

No: not good for actually giving people some tangible options if they’re already exercising a fair bit

I have 1000 thoughts , as always, hoping to do a purchase rebrand and relaunch next year where I can express them in detail like these ladies do & can only hope to have a similar level of humility / banter / nuance / smartness

I have to say I was shook by dad’s honest response to his 400 class milestone !

Dad’s bone density is seemingly pretty good, but we focus more on general strength & maintaining his agility for tennis.

Like he says 400 is a pretty major milestone. Go dad!

Because everyone in our team is a physio, we change your program as needed to accommodate for aches, pains, new injuries or new medical history.

Our number one goal is to keep you moving :)

Another few options for back extensor strength that don’t involve deadlifts:

- prone extension on the ground
- back extensions on a machine

I think of these as accessories to the main lifts, but they can be great in isolation as well and can add things like pauses, longer static holds, higher repetitions or even small weights to make more challenging.

As we enter the last few months of the year we have a few empty spots on our time table that have opened up and are available.

New Year can feel like the right time to start a new routine, but why not get in early & start the habit now?

Most health funds reset at the start of the year, & if you are eligible for a care plan but haven’t used the visits for this calendar year yet, it can be an excellent time to get started 💪🏻

Link to book an initial consultation is in the bio

Barbell deadlifts aren’t for everyone! But training the hip hinge pattern feels important, particularly to strengthen lower back (bones and muscles).

2 alternatives :
- we love the trap bar . Similar movement, can be made heavy, less daunting, and more efficient making it feel better in many cases.
- RDLs (Romanian deadlifts). These are done from the top down. Generally won’t be as heavy, but also can feel less intimidating than lifting the weight off the ground.

Complete alternatives post to come!

About FKB Physio

I have been a Physiotherapist for 10 years now, and I have been interested in movement and exercise for 15. I have a passion for helping people to get moving and to see what their bodies are able to do. There is nothing more empowering than realising you are capable of doing more than you thought you could.

Too often, I find health and fitness professionals make a business out of telling people they are 'broken', or in some other way, not good enough, and require someone else's 'magic hands' or 'special technique' in order to get better. I have always preferred to show people what THEY can do, and put the power back into their hands.

I am personally passionate about strength training and group fitness, and have a special interest in helping people with injuries from the gym, making sure they can keep training around their injury as much as possible.

I also love working with older adults and helping to show them that in many cases age is just a number! I have seen many 80 year olds who can move better than 50 year olds, purely due to the difference in their activity levels. It is my hope that I can inspire more people to get up and get moving, and enjoy the benefits that come with this.
