🤔BEST EXERCISE🤔

Everyone wants to know the best exercise for living longer…

Running?
Lifting?
Walking?
Tennis?
Swimming?

Well according to this recent study… the answer is…

YES

Because people who live longer didn’t just do more exercise… they tended to do a greater variety of it too.

And before the exercise cults start sharpening their rubber bands and twirlygigs, this doesn’t prove variety magically makes you immortal.

It’s an observational study, not a randomised longevity death match.

But it does suggest that obsessing over the ONE perfect exercise is totally missing the point.

Move more and move in different ways.

Your body appreciates a bit of variety

🥵SUNBURN🥵

This current heatwave in Europe seems like an ideal time to bring out this classic analogy

When you’re sunburnt, a cool shower can sting like hell!

But the water isn’t damaging your skin.

It’s just sensitive, irritated tissue reacting to normal input.

Same with many episodes of back pain.

Bending can hurt, not because your spine is crumbling into dust, but because sensitive tissues and a grumpy nervous system don’t like it right now.

And before the conspiracy crowd storms in clutching their tinfoil and raw liver smoothies… sunscreen doesn’t give you cancer… excessive sun exposure gives you cancer.

🤦‍♂️KIMURAS FOR THERAPY🤦‍♂️

I know many people do BJJ and other combat sports for therapy (myself included) but…

This ain’t it!

If your therapy for pain looks like something that belongs in an octagon or dojo it’s time to reconsider your carer!

Again… always a chiro with this stupid sh*t… but I do know it’s not all chiros!

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

🩸TISSUE SCRAPPING🩸

Increasing blood flow into tissues can be hugely beneficial, but that’s not what tissue scrapping does… at all!

Tissue scrapping causing bleeding into tissues, not perfusion of blood into tissues

Two very different processes with very different physiological effects!

Increasing tissue bleeding is NOT the same as increasing tissue perfusion

So stop scrapping and bleeding people and get them moving and perfusing!

🤦‍♂️CHIROS🤦‍♂️

It’s not all chiropractors… but it’s always a chiropractor!

This week’s claim: one spinal manipulation = 3 weeks of strength training.

Based on a tiny study of 12 stroke patients, with an effort-dependent strength test, questionable blinding, a control group that somehow got 26% weaker, and enough methodological holes to drive a treatment table through.

A transient change in force output or neural drive proxy is not the same as actual strength adaptation.

That still requires boring things like loading tissues, progressive overload, repetition, and actual work.

But why respect exercise physiology when you can just crack someone and declare victory?

😖BACK PAIN LIFTING😖

Rule No2: Don’t blame your technique

Instead blame your bad programming, sh*tty luck, and non existent recovery strategies much more!
