Playing around with some stuff… This is really hard! My tib post was screaming at me 💪🏼🤣 Tib post has short muscle fibres - it’s not a primary mover, so exercises like this challenge it in a more functional way than something like banded inversion. Progress with a heel raise🦶🏼

Midfoot Pain 🦶🏼👈🏼 Excluding neural, so remember to consider superficial peroneal nerve for dorsal foot & sural nerve for lateral. Deep peroneal is 1-2 webspace (more forefoot). BSI of navicular, base of 2nd MT & Jones # (zone 2 5th MT) are highest risk areas ⚠️

Sesamoiditis or FHB tendinopathy? 🤔 Mini thread & case study 🧵 1/5 The sesamoids live within the FHB’s distal tendons & articulate with the head of the 1st metatarsal, acting as a fulcrum to increase the leverage of FHB/FHL. But is all ‘sesamoid’ pain actually the sesamoids?

🚨IT’S NEVER THE HIP FLEXOR 🚨 @DrJN_SportsMed Unless your patient describes overload after doing activities like these, consider other differentials. Important to rule out stress fractures or hip joint pathology. The HF may be part of the picture, but it’s often not the driver.

One of my favourite parts of my job is the teaching... it's also the most time-consuming. So much reading, studying and preparation needed to get to this point and stay on top of the research, but it's worth it 🤓❤️📚🦶🏼

So proud to say I was 'The Lion King' Physio 2021-2024 🦒🐘🦓🫶🏼 I can't explain how much I'll miss everyone - their energy, joy, talent + love. People always ask me what's the best thing about my job & the answer is without doubt - the performers 🥰 Always remember your pride 🦁

Hey Team! I’m seeing more people with CRPS, and while I’m ok at signposting/managing/treating, I’d like to be better please… 🙏🏻 Anyone have any resources or go-to websites/advice etc that they can send in my direction? Any help much appreciated ☺️

Can we discuss the flexibility, control, and proprioception needed for this?! One of the most beautiful dance poses I’ve seen in a while… Max Dawe 🤩

Heel Lifts. So useful for so many foot and ankle injuries: Achilles tendinopathy (mid-portion & insertional), paratenonitis, anterior impingement, plantar fasciopathy, peroneal tendinopathy, calf strains… NB: These form part of management only & won’t be suitable for all Pts ☝🏼

I love Twitter. This year I’m now talking on the main stage for Therapy Live & Therapy Expo. Today I was able to help a dancer before an important exam after a physio who follows me on here recommended me. For all the bad press SoMe gets, it def has the ability to change lives ☺️

Proximal hamstring tendinopathy is different in people who are very flexible - dancers, gymnasts etc. They're often injured in end-range (extreme outer range) positions, so you need to include these when they get to the appropriate place in their rehab journey 🤸🏻 Thread 🧵 1/4

Lat ankle sprain 3 days & 4 wks after injury. PF + IV mechanism landing on lateral foot out of a jump - high energy. X-ray cleared by A&E but I suspect there’s a talar dome injury. Stiff T/C joint, difficulty walking, tender talar dome, muscle guarding, AM stiffness. MRI needed🦶🏼

I love anatomy. Currently experiencing pretty awful shoulder pain from all the air they pumped into my abdomen for the cholescestectomy! It’s absolutely textbook - just like the pic 🤩 Also extremely painful. I’m trying to focus on the positives… 🤣 #CliniciansWithPain
