A funny Friday to end the week, thought we could take you through Sean’s break

The reason why we use metronomes in clinic
Bet you didn’t know, but they are an important tool for our osteopaths to keep their consistency while running tests.

Special tests aren’t that special… and that’s okay.
Let’s be honest, most MSK special tests aren’t magical diagnostic buttons. They don’t give you the answer. They don’t whisper secrets about your patient’s pathology. And half the time, three different clinicians will get three different results.

But here’s the real win:

Special tests still matter when you use them for what they are, not what we wish they were.

They add pieces to the puzzle, not the whole picture.
They’re useful for tracking change over time.
They support your clinical reasoning, rather than replace it.
They work best alongside history, movement assessment & load testing.

Take the Navicular Drop Test:
Not perfect.
Not highly reliable between different clinicians.
Not a definitive measure of “pronation.”
BUT…
Used consistently on the same person?
Great for understanding how their foot behaves and how it responds to rehab.

Special tests aren’t special.
Clinicians are.
It’s your reasoning, not the test, that drives better outcomes.

Keep testing. Keep thinking. Keep treating people, not protocols.

Some foot mobility this Monday!
Here is what Sean would do on his foot mobility routine, using his new favorite tool.

Teamwork is one of our biggest strengths at Re:solution Clinic.
Today Sean and Jonny spent the day deep in CPD, sharpening their skills and challenging each other in all the best ways.

What makes days like this powerful isn’t just the learning — it’s the collaboration.
We break down cases together, share different perspectives, and constantly look for ways to improve how we assess, treat, and support our patients.
Two clinicians with different strengths, openly learning from each other, means better outcomes for the people who trust us with their care.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Sean-and-Jonny day without some friendly competition and a debate over who makes the worst coffee… but that’s part of what makes the team dynamic work.
Continuous growth, honest discussion, shared standards — that’s how we keep raising the bar.

Always learning. Always improving. Always collaborating.

Why You Shake During an Isometric — And Why It’s Actually a Good Thing

When you hold an isometric position (like a wall sit, plank, or a rehab hold), you might notice your body starts to shake or tremble.
Most people think this means they’re weak or doing something wrong.
But the truth is:

Shaking is your nervous system learning.

Here’s what’s really happening:

1. Your nervous system is upgrading its control system

During an isometric, your brain is trying to coordinate hundreds of tiny muscle fibres to maintain a still position. When it hasn’t quite mastered that pattern yet, the signals fire a bit “noisily.”

That “noise” looks like shaking.

This is your brain figuring out:
• How much tension to use
• Which muscles to switch on
• How to stabilise the joint

It’s literally motor learning in real time.

2. Your stabiliser muscles are switching on

Isometrics challenge the small, deep stabilising muscles that don’t normally get much attention.
When they’re recruited heavily, especially if they’re a bit untrained, they fire in quick bursts.

Those rapid-fire bursts = shaking.

3. Your body is building better force control

Maintaining a perfectly still hold under load is hard.
Your body must constantly adjust, like a camera stabilising a shaky image.

The wobble means you’re:
• Building joint stability
• Improving co-ordination
• Increasing neural drive
• Enhancing load tolerance

This is why isometrics are so powerful in rehab.

4. Shaking means you’re at the right level of challenge

If you never shake, the exercise might actually be too easy.

Shaking = you’re pushing into the zone where adaptation happens.
Your nervous system is being stimulated enough to change.

So, is shaking good?

Yes — as long as it’s not painful and you can keep good form.

Shaking means:
• Your nervous system is learning
• Your stabilisers are waking up
• Your movement control is improving
• You’re building resilience

It’s not a failure — it’s a sign you’re getting stronger.
