A recent podcast with Stu McGill has gone ‘viral’ with him claiming many outdated and unsupported things for back pain! Including no-one over the age of 50 should try and push themselves for a personal best on deadlifts! These are my thoughts on that… strap in! 😎🍿

This is the best thing you will watch on social media this week! 🥰 Its never too late to start resistance training, but often you will need a reason and the support of others to get started! 🤜🤛 Sons and daughters, I urge you all to help your parents get started! 👍

This the best hamstring machine ever… BUT I see so many people using it incorrectly!!! 🤦♂️ This glorious piece of equipment is called an ‘inverse curl’ and was designed by the late great Louis Simmonds from the notorious Westside Barbell The key to this machine is to set the support bar just at the point of where you feel you are going to fall forward and let it assist your decent and help your return Do not set the support bar to touch your chest when your upright at the start as this reduces the eccentric work on your hamstrings and completely defeats the whole point of the exercise!

Two years ago this week I suffered a bad disc herniation that I caught on camera as I was deadlifting! This caused me months of severe left leg nerve pain and a significant loss of muscle power, which properly sucked big time! However, I decided to use this as an opportunity to demonstrate how I as a physio would manage these kinds of injuries using myself as the case subject I wanted to show how many can fully recover from these horrible debilitating injuries without any specific, specialist, fancy or expensive treatments or methods And how you definitely don’t need any massage, manipulations, dry needling, cupping, or any other silly gadgets or exercises either! Instead my recovery simply revolved around having faith and trust in my bodies ability to heal itself, trying to remain positive and calm through the set backs and flare ups, keeping as active as possible, and slowly and gradually returning back to all my activities… including deadlifting! This caused a lot of discussion, disagreement, angst and anger on social media within the physio community! With many accusing me of incompetence and ignorance due to their own insecurities and vested interests in their so called specialist methods and treatments! Many physios simply could not accept that a simple, straight forward, honest and evidence based approach would work… let alone be better than theirs! Many physios did not like me highlighting to the world that physiotherapy for these kinds of issues isnt some magical cure, fix or treatment, but rather a profession that simply helps assist and support people as they recover with time and graded return back to activity!

It’s not JUST about the risks… it’s about the risks AND benefits All treatments for pain come with some rare but very serious adverse events… such as medications and even exercise! But spinal manipulations do not have any significant benefits for pain or function in the short or long term over placebos or other less risky treatments! So what’s the point! If the benefits of the treatment are non significant and other safer alternatives exist then it doesn’t matter how small the risks are… it’s just not worth! Now for all the comments of those with bias and deeply vested interests desperately trying to justify the use of manips by contorting themselves and the narrative into some extreme positions! 😎

When silly bullshit like this sells false hope to the vulnerable it needs to be called out! 🤨
