I also discuss the vital importance of knowing what you want to know and why. rehabilitationmatters.com/academic-reh... #neurorehab

Exercise is the risk you take to avoid the complications of being still (inactive)!!
The risk of injury associated with various exercises is relatively low.
The risks associated with being still (physical inactivity) are vastly underrated and far more dangerous.

Alternative narratives, fed through influencers, is a powerful drug. They align so well with those who were spoon fed the superiority of natural remedies and the evils of western medicine and big pharma. I suspect we’ve only opened a door that will never close.

Science challenges the assumption that relentless “pounding” on the road is hard on joints. A 2018 survey of marathoners showed:

🏃🏻♀️ less arthritis than general population

Healthcare will continue to fall short when it comes to pain when it is looked at as a mind OR body issue rather than what science is clearly telling us. It’s always an AND thing for all of us in everything we experience. #painscience #chronicpain
