Main barriers perceived by clinicians to ideal assessment and monitoring:
💰 financial constraints

🏋🏼 access to equipment
⚠️patient symptom severity.

Conditioned pain modulation is NOT different in people with lower-limb

perceptions around self-reported data.
1. Athletes are often dishonest when self-reporting
2. Athletes feel the process is burdensome and invaluable
3. We need athlete friendly collection methods

In a foreign country for a conference and excited to see as much as I can but also have a list of jobs to do 10 pages long (including finish my slides)
Instead I do none of this and spend friday night watching the new avengers film...
Early Christmas present - lovely email from a 78 year old patient I reviewed recently with hip and knee OA who had stopped all exercise due to pain but is now fully functional and hitting the gym in his retirement complex 🙌
Thanks to Renee and the High Performance staff at the Fremantle Football club for inviting me down to talk about all things tricky tendons yesterday! I hope you all got something out of it 😊

paper:
1️⃣moderate chronic caffeine intake(~3mg/kg/day)is okay
2️⃣ for habituated caffeine users benefits may be blunted BUT ⬆️ pre-comp dose may avoid this
3️⃣ pre-comp withdrawal is not recommended
I have been taken aback by the number of DMs and emails I have received in the past 24 hours from academics (>95% women/NB) sharing that my recent experience is the reason they do not share their own research or opinions on this platform. They do not view X as a safe space. WOW
