One of the major problems with social media influencers. The higher the confidence and certainty in what they say, the less they actually know 🤯

A major problem with society? Most people are ignorant of their own ignorance.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias where individuals with limited knowledge or skill overestimate their own competence. This overestimation arises because their lack of knowledge prevents them from understanding their lack of knowledge.

As people increase in competence and skill, they begin to understand how much they don't know. As such, confidence decreases and then increases as skill and awareness are gained.

Strength is constantly associated with a lower risk of all cause mortality in the adult population regardless of age or gender. There are lots of different metrics used to assess strength - grip strength, knee extensor strength, sit to stand test, getting off the ground without using your hands test. The results are always the same - the stronger you are the longer you live. If you want to start on your strength training journey DM me or visit my website @ www.angusclinics.co.uk for further information.

This is Janet. Janet has moderate to severe osteoarthritis in both knees. Ordinarily she would be offered a knee replacement but unfortunately she is allergic to the anaesthetic medication. So we have to find a way to keep Janet mobile and allow her to continue with everyday tasks like walking. We’ve got her on a strengthening plan to keep her leg muscles as strong as possible to help her maintain her functionality and independence. If you’re suffering from arthritic joint pain or stiffness DM me or for further information visit www.angusclinics.co.uk

This is Janet working on her quad strength. She has moderate to severe osteoarthritis in both her knees and ordinarily would be offered a knee replacement. Unfortunately Janet is allergic to the anaesthetic medication so we have to try and work out another way of keeping her mobile. Keeping her legs as strong as possible really helps to keep her mobile and able to perform everyday activities like walking and going up and down stairs. Her pain may fluctuate but our goal is working on her functionality and keeping her moving as long as we can. If you find yourself in this position and are needing help with arthritic joint pain DM me or visit www.angusclinics.co.uk
