We tested whether external spinal stiffness reflects internal vertebral motion.
We found
No meaningful associations
small Intervertebral motion small + en bloc movement

Very well stated! I 100% agree with this. For researchers it is often difficult to entangle all the implications in strict scientific writing. The @JOSPT blog helped, this helps even more. Thanks @ShepDPT!
Some thoughts on recent @JOSPT publications from @Casper_Nim and their message.
Thanks to @DukeCEMMT and @chadcookpt for publishing the blog.

Great to work with the team at The Lighthouse @Macquarie_Uni to put together this article highlighting our recently published research on low back pain
A new review by Macquarie University researchers has identified the treatments that may have a long term impact on back pain - and those that don’t: macquarie.university/3Ha2s5t

What works long-term for chronic low back pain?
CBT, mindfulness, exercise & multidisciplinary care may help—but effects are modest & evidence uncertain.
Pain is complex. Long-term outcomes need long-term funding.

Such an honor to be invited and to talk with @ChrisHughen about many interesting topics related to SMT including our newest @JOSPT paper jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.…
shoutout to @JanHartvigsen @chadcookpt @smperle @GNK1 @CARLProgram just to name a few who have been part of this.
In our latest podcast episode, @ChrisHughen sat down with @Casper_Nim to discuss all things Spinal Manipulation.
We dive into what spinal manipulations definitely aren’t doing, improving manual therapy education, navigating treatment options, the narratives behind an intervention, and much more.

Instead of just calling MPS nonsense, we attempt to highlight what the problems are and what needs to be done.

So honored to be invited to speak at this webinar.
This @ForceNET webinar is going to be darn good. In the last couple of years, @Casper_Nim has published two major papers questioning many of the training notions around SMT. Join us for free on April 22nd by logging in to: duke.zoom.us/j/92184176505

I think this suggests shared mechanisms across applications. Proud to be part of this one

🧐 Time to rethink how we communicate & teach SMT? Our latest systematic review suggests so!

How important is SMT specificity?
Our new paper shows specificity might matter less than we thought, but don’t misinterpret it! 🚨 Proper training & skill still matter such as good patient alliance, respectful hands-on techniques, adapting to patient comfort
