🧠 Do I Need an Imaging?

👉 Why people with non‑specific chronic low back pain (cLBP) ask for scans even when not clinically needed 💭📸 �

Researchers interviewed 11 patients with chronic low back pain to understand their beliefs about diagnostic imaging like MRI and X‑rays. 🗣️💬 �

💡 Key insights:

🔹 Need to “know the cause” – Many feel imaging will explain their pain and guide treatment, even if they also recognise pain has many causes beyond what a scan shows. 🧩💥 �

🔹 Imaging after treatment fails – Lots of patients see scans as useful only after conservative care hasn’t helped. 🩹➡️📸 �

🔹 Mixed emotional impact – For some, imaging brings reassurance 👍; for others, it increases anxiety and may even mislead them. 😟🤯 �

📣 Takeaway:
Better patient education and communication are essential- helping people understand the limits of imaging in chronic non‑specific low back pain could reduce unnecessary tests and anxiety. 📘🤝

Unlock your HIP’s hidden potential 🔓🦵.

INTERNAL ROTATION- the most overlooked movement, yet the key that unlocks all other ranges of motion in the hip 🔑.

🧠✨ Migraines – More Than Just a Headache

Did you know...

✅ Migraines are the leading cause of disability in people under 50 worldwide.

✅ Hormonal changes (especially in women) play a major role — many experience relief after menopause.

✅ Stress, poor sleep, diet, and posture can all act as triggers.

✅ While medication can help manage acute attacks, addressing neck dysfunction and lifestyle factors offers long-term benefits.

💥💥💥 Research shows the majority of people notice a reduction in migraines after age 55–60.

👉 If you or someone you know struggles with migraines, remember: there is hope, and an evidence-informed approach can make a difference.

💆‍♀️ Tension-Type Headaches Explained 💆‍♂️

Do you often feel a tight band-like pressure around your head?

You might be experiencing a tension-type headache, one of the most common (and misdiagnosed) headache types.

✨ According to the Watson Headache® Approach, the neck can play a big role. Dysfunction in the upper cervical spine can “switch on” headache symptoms by sensitising the brainstem.

✅ The good news? With gentle, precise techniques—not manipulation—we can assess and treat the neck to reduce sensitisation and ease headaches.

Here are some self-help tips you can try today:
👉 Maintain good posture (avoid forward head)
👉 Manage stress & practice relaxation
👉 Gentle mobility exercises for the upper neck

💭 Neck pain causing your headaches?

You might be dealing with a Cervicogenic Headache — a type of headache that actually starts from dysfunction in the neck joints, muscles, or nerves.

💡 Common signs include:

👉 Pain that starts in the neck and spreads to the head.

👉 One-sided headaches that don’t switch sides.

👉 Headaches triggered by neck movement or posture.

Don’t just treat the pain — treat the source.
Assessment and targeted physiotherapy can make a real difference.

🏃‍♀️ Staying Active at Any Age Matters! 💪✨
A new systematic review & meta-analysis by Ruyi Yu et al. (2025) found that:

📈 Adults who stay active throughout life or increase their activity later ⏰ have a lower risk of early death from all causes, 🫀 heart disease, and 🧠 certain cancers.

🚶‍♂️ Even if you start exercising later in life — it’s never too late to benefit! 🙌.

💡 Consistent movement (walking, gym, sports, etc.) adds years to life and life to years.

👉 Keep moving, keep living!
