Bit of local bias in today’s blog – and I have to declare a conflict that the CPA has put me up in the very nice Hilton Hotel at the base of Whistler Mountain.<\/p>\nBit of local bias in today’s blog – and I have to declare a conflict that the CPA has put me up in the very nice Hilton Hotel at the base of Whistler Mountain.<\/p>\n
So if I say the Hilton has delicious breakfast cereal and great local art galleries next door, you need to be aware that I paid for the former, and am trying to avoid my wife seeing the latter.<\/p>\n
More importantly Professor Carolyn Emery<\/a>, internationally renowned physiotherapist and paediatric sports injury prevention researcher, shared advances in a well-attended session yesterday. She is a leader at the Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre (SIPRC), University of Calgary<\/a>. Take home message for me? 10-15 of the right type of neurodynamic (what we used to call balance\/strength\/coordination) exercises can prevent lower limb injuries and likely ACL rupture<\/a>. Some coaches are ‘buying’ in but there is a way to go. Coaches – how can you sleep at night if you are NOT doing this in youth soccer, handball, and likely other sports. How can we sleep while the kids aren’t learning<\/em><\/a> (to perform these prevention exercises) [apologies to Midnight Oil and some readers will know what I mean]. Thanks Carolyn Emery.<\/p>\n I was reminded of Roald Bahr’s thoughtful editorial in BJSM<\/a>. Also, remember the Review and Summary Statement from the IOC ACL prevention meeting<\/a> – always in BJSM’s top 10 downloads per month.<\/p>\n Today, I look forward to Uni of Queensland’s Michele Sterling<\/a> this morning – Whiplash: Minor Injury but Complex Condition.<\/p>\n What am I speaking about for my supper? A meeting with young researchers in the morning – how to get published. Later, in a session on scope of practice in physiotherapy (very hot topic), I contribute the exercise prescription part. There’ll be some overlap with an Editorial that got posted in BMJ today<\/a> – although the BMJ piece has doctors as the target audience for obvious reasons. And I’ll give the smokadiabesity <\/a>a run here in Canada – see what folks think! The point of the editorial and my talk today? What can clinicians do get people moving. Exercise is Medicine<\/a> — we know that. The challenge is implementation (see the current issue<\/a> of BJSM!).<\/p>\n Have a great Saturday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bit of local bias in today’s blog – and I have to declare a conflict that the CPA has put me up in the very nice Hilton Hotel at the base of Whistler Mountain.
