SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT AND ROTATOR CUFF TEARS

There is plenty of evidence at this point that shows that degenerative partial rotator cuff tears and shoulder impingement are very common and often do not cause problems!

They also do not need to go away in order for someone to feel better.

It's possible to help lots of people, be a well-meaning clinician, but still provide inaccurate and outdated explanations!

HYPERMOBILITY: More than just being "double-jointed"!

Hypermobility disorders can often have complex and widespread symptoms.

Unfortunately, people with these conditions are often left without answers, mostly because of a lack of awareness around the far-reaching implications of hypermobility disorders.

Hopefully this can be the year that as a society, we remember that we’re human beings and not machines.

Back pain is not as simple as being solely caused by poor posture, tight hip flexors, or a weak core.

EXERCISE FOR BACK PAIN

We know that exercises can help people with back pain and that there likely isn't one best type of exercise.

There is so much research already looking at this.

What may be more helpful to know is what actually needs to change within someone to help improve their pain and how does exercise do accomplish those things.

🤔 Do the classic clinical shoulder tests actually tell you what specific structure hurts?

Probably not. They aren't that specific.

They can, however, tell you what positions may be bothersome for someone.

These tests aren’t completely useless! In fact, Adam and I both do them sometimes.

However, we INTERPRET them differently!

Here, Adam Meakins discusses some treatments for frozen shoulder that aren't evidence-based.

Because Adam points these types of things out, he's often criticized - "he just says nothing works and he doesn't actually help anyone".

This is not true!

Targeting this criticism was the goal of the newest Forward Physio episode.

Adam breaks down 3 different case studies so you can gain insight into his clinical reasoning and see how he actually helps his patients.

🤔 Do You Need A Diagnosis?

Sometimes, but most of the time, probably not.

This post is probably too in-depth for social media, but hope it helps at least someone!

What's the most important trait you could instil in a new physiotherapist?

For Q, it's about critical thinking.

Having biases is normal, but we have to do our best to regularly challenge our beliefs and strive to continuously improve how we think.
