“🔥Posture - belief vs evidence⤵️
❓What are your current beliefs around posture? How have those beliefs been influenced and formed? .
❗️Are you open to changing your stance on posture? If yes, keep on reading. If no, we can talk it out in the comments but let’s try to keep it respectful.
👉Posture has been a focus of rehab, medicine, training, etc for a long time. However, much of the beliefs around this topic are not substantiated in research. Typically research in this area is conducted with a great deal of assumptions in place that it is important and it has such a big impact. When we research these root beliefs, this is not the case and these are challenged.
🗣Typically what is required is a shift in perspective and understanding context, not complete disregard of old beliefs. .
📌Posture is not good or bad, it depends on a lot of variables (time spent there, load, tolerance, capacity, etc.)
📌There no perfect posture, every posture has stress in different ways and some might not be appropriate temporarily for different reasons.
📌Posture is a part of stress on tissues, but there are many more variables than just it that influence injuries.
📌When it comes to pain, you can’t blame one thing. Pain is complicated and individual and influenced by so much more than just arbitrary positions of joints.
🙌We need to shift our beliefs for growth and less fear mongering as a society. Hopefully this helps a few people and I’ll make more posts soon that We can build on from this.

We can really harm people with our words.

“Scans dont explain much about:
- your current pain
- the activities you are capable of
- how likely you are recover

Muscles, joints etc- need movement to be optimally healthy

Remember: imaging findings relevant to your age -- natural age related adaptive changes!”

Good to know for all physiotherapists how to build muscle. That is what we often want with our patients when we want them to exercise: to get stronger and more robust. Hypertrophy is not always the goal of course, but when it is, this is the most evidence based way to go.
Great post by 😊👍👏
Quote from this tweet:
“This table best summarizes what we currently know about building muscle. It’s based on hundreds of randomized controlled trials, review papers, and meta analyses. ⁣Thanks to and for their help.”
