💡 The current evidence supports a strong recommendation for exercise as first line treatment in patients clinically diagnosed with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome. Compared to corticosteroid injection, exercise is superior in increasing the likelihood that a patient experiences a meaningful global improvement.

👉🏻 This is from the new paper "Exercise compared to a control condition or other conservative treatment options in patients with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials" by Kjeldsen et al 2024

Virtual care is great for some cases. It saves people's time from traveling and increases convenience to attain care. Having a virtual consultation first might be useful to find out if you need in-person care.

Wow could this be relevant at some point?

These VR headsets could help people become virtually pain-free, science suggests Commercially available virtual reality headsets and handsets might be able to help doctors and physiotherapists treat one of society's most debilitating health problems: chronic pain.

Yes take care of your feet!

Time to post this gem again from the team at . In short: wear pointy shoes = develop pointy feet (aka bunions)
👣
WOMEN DITCHED THE STAYS AND CORSETS – ISNT’ IT TIME WE DID THE SAME WITH NARROW, POINTY SHOES??
This image shows how feet can be pushed and pinched into the shape of shoes. And for women and girls this shoe shape is more than likely to be slim and pointy
So what happens to slim and pointy feet? When we consider adult women are FOUR TIMES as likely as men to have debilitating, painful foot problems, it’s pretty clear WOMEN’S SHOES are a problem
Isn’t it time fashion stopped constricting our bodies into painful submission? This mother is making sure her daughter DOESN’T follow in her pointy-shoe footsteps, literally
While Mum has uncomfortable, unhealthy and unhappy feet, she’s making sure Daughter’s footsteps stay FOOT-SHAPED: she goes barefoot where possible and when shoes are necessary makes sure those shoes are foot-shaped: FLEXIBLE, WIDE and BENDY so her daughter’s feet can grow strong and healthy
VivoKids are all created to be as close to barefoot as possible; protecting only from climate and terrain so feet can do their natural, healthy thing as they grow
We don’t believe in corsets: for bodies - or feet!

STUDY OF THE DAY: This umbrella review of systematic reviews looked at treatment of adults with acute ankle sprain on the outcomes of pain, swelling, range of motion, instability, function, reinjury rate, and return to sport.

The authors found evidence supporting the effectiveness of non-surgical treatment in managing acute ankle sprain. They also conclude that functional treatment seems to be preferable to immobilization.
