We started a new segment when we visited Therapy Expo called "Change My Mind". In this Jack Chew posed the statement that "We Can't Meaningfully Alter Tissue With Manual Therapy". It is a contentious statement especially at a show with a lot of massage booths, tape and tissue sports guns. A really interesting conversation that will test bias on both sides of the argument.

Welcome to another episode of The Words Matter Podcast.It seems like the last episode with Dave Newell and Jack Chew was necessary; the feedback by and large was supportive, but clearly you cannot please everyone and for some people there is no argument, reason or evidence (let alone a podcast) that will ever initiate a reflection or reconsideration of their position and beliefs. So as promised, I've continued to explore these issues and today I'm speaking with Dr Carlo Martini about pseudoscience and pseudoscientific claims.Carlo is an Associate Professor in Philosophy of Science at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University (Milan) and visiting fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Social Science at the University of Helsinki.He has worked on the interface between science and policy, scientific expertise, and science communication. Carlo leads the work package "Behavioral Tools for Building Trust" in the H2020 Project "Policy, Expertise and Trust"I spoke with Carlo last year in a two-part episode on expertise and experts; and many of the topics around pseudoscience that we discuss today have overlap with expertise and how we recognize and come to trust an expert – so it would be well worth listening or re-listening to those conversations which are episodes 53 and 54. So on this episode we talk about: The value-ladeness of the term ‘scientific' and how the label can add value to a treatment, practice or person. We speak about the equalising effect the label ‘pseudoscience' and how this seeks to remove any underserved benefit or misusing the label of ‘scientific'. We speak about the motives, incentives and intentions of those that might make or perpetuate pseudoscientific claims. We speak about how some practices and professions seem more susceptible than others to be informed by pseudoscience; but that pseudoscience can be found in across all disciplines from homeopathy, osteopathy, nutrition, medicine and even physics. We speak about the importance of peer-review and the openness of scientific community. And finally, we speak about the ethics and harms of pseudoscience and pseudoscientific claims. So this was another great conversation with Carlo; his outsider position affords him a more dispassionate view of healthcare and his philosophical and sociological perspectives on pseudoscience was incredibly insightful.Find Carlo on Twitter @martinicarloSupport the podcast and contribute via Patreon hereIf you liked the podcast, you'll love The Words Matter online course and mentoring to develop your clinical expertise  - ideal for all MSK therapists.Follow Words Matter on:Instagram @Wordsmatter_education @TheWordsMatterPodcastTwitter @WordsClinicalFacebook Words Matter - Improving Clinical Communication  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome to another episode of The Words Matter Podcast.So it's been a pretty action packed few weeks on social media; for those of you that have not been following there was a storm in a pericardial tea cup - for my thoughts on the saga visit my Instagram bio where there's an Instagram live video.It was a rather unique experience, so the researcher in me wants to describe the situation, understand the antecedent conditions and get some purchase on the underlying beliefs and intentions when colleagues make implausible and sometimes bizarre claims and also reflect on our reaction to them and perhaps how we can engineer a more productive response.As such, I'm going to follow this trail and in addition to this episode there are episodes planned with Carlo Martini (see our previous episodes on expertise and trust here and here) examining the phenomenon of pseudoscience; and also more Outsider episodes where guests relay their own experiences and outcomes of engaging with colleagues who hold such implausible beliefs and make such poorly evidenced claims which can only seem to map to the most distorted view of a biological reality.So I'm on a bit of a quest for the next few episodes at least to try understand how to approach (small t) truth claims which are used to describe what seems like an objective biological reality but come from seemingly completely different epistemologies and play by a different set of rules than that of biological reality.How can we talk with colleagues that seem to hold significant differences in foundational aspects of healthcare and what it is to be a health professional such as the nature of evidence, logic, ethics and intellectually honest argumentation?Just to declare and reflect on my own position; I am not a walking-talking positivist or strident empiricist; far from it - I most certainly do consider and embrace the plurality of truths which comes from the social construction of knowledge…as it relates to the social world; but for me I cannot see how a sense of relativism can extend to the natural world or the biology reality which brutally confronts us every second of our lives- whether we like it or not; literally with every breath we take and every time our left ventricle contracts.I may be guilty here of epistemological blurring or straddling different paradigms - but clearly as with many of us, my position is evolving and it's only through more critical self-reflection and more conversations that I might be able to iron out any wrinkles in my position or even change it completely.So please subscribe to the podcast and consider supporting the show via Patreon; and as always a big thank you to those of you already doing one or both of those things.So in this episode I'm speaking with Jack Chew and Prof. Dave Newell. Jack is an MSK Physio and broadcaster from the North of England and was the mind behind the phenomenal Physio Matters Podcast which was a huge inspiration for The Words Matter Podcast. He also leads the incredibly successful pan-professional MSK conference Therapy Live; as well as being  the director of MSK Reform. Jack keeps his hand in clinically at Chews Health HQ in South Manchester. And he's recently been elected as a council member for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.Dave holds positions of Professor of Integrated Musculoskeletal Healthcare and Director of Research at AECC University College also well Visiting Research Fellow at Faculty of Medicine, University of Southampton. He has spent the last 30 years teaching and generating research in chiropractic institutions internationally, holding the position of Research Director in two other chiropractic programs in the UK and Australia.Dave has published extensively in areas relevant to musculoskeletal conditions in general and the chiropractic profession in particular. His contemporary areas of research interest lie in contextual factors in the therapeutic encounter, therapeutic alliance and the alignment of chiropractic profession with national health systems. Like Jack, Dave is a podcaster and is one of the hosts of icarechirocast, an international podcast discussion with leaders in the chiropractic profession. Dave and I spoke way back in August 2020 on episode 15 where we touched on the dogma and ideology which permeates through corners of our respective professions - so take a listen for further context around the topic. Another relevant episode is my recent talk with the philosophers of science Dr Elena Rocca and Dr Saúl Pérez-González about biological mechanisms and how we can judge the plausibility of such mechanistic claims - this was  episode 69 from March this yearSo in this episode we speak about: The growing phenomenon of calling out the falsehoods make by professional colleagues on social media. We ask if this is effective and whether there's an obligation to do this and with whom does the obligation lie? We talk about what constitutes a nonsense claim and the gradations of bizarreness and implausibility. We ask what is the most productive way to respond to such seemingly ludicrous claims? We talk about to what extent can healthcare professionals hold and perpetuate such beliefs and the ethics and harms in holding or espousing such implausible beliefs. We discuss how some practitioners seem to embody and fall in love their such ideas; and the situation where some clinicians are unable or not prepared to separate their ideas from their professional selves and identity; making it almost impossible to 'play the ball and not the person'. So this was such an enjoyable conversation; and only time will tell as to whether we achieved our mission of at least beginning to make sense of some of the truths and their plausibility in healthcare – I'm grateful to Jack and Dave for sharing their own valuable insights.Find Jack @JackAChew and Dave @NewellDave on Twitter Support the podcast and contribute via Patreon hereIf you liked the podcast, you'll love The Words Matter online course and mentoring to develop your clinical expertise  - ideal for all MSK therapists.Follow Words Matter on:Instagram @Wordsmatter_education @TheWordsMatterPodcastTwitter @WordsClinicalFacebook Words Matter - Improving Clinical Communication ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Thanks for reading the 17th edition of my sciatica newsletter. This newsletter tracks my research into all things lumbar radicular pain!For this week’s podcast I spoke to Mark Laslett! Here’s the timestamps for our conversation, with some links to one or two papers Mark mentions:1:38: On somatic referred pain.2:40: “Do you have a theory of what's going on when someone has radicular pain but their MRI does not show anything to explain it?”7:11: “Does largely compressive radicular pain have a different clinical picture to largely chemical?”12:10: The role of injections in the wider treatment plan. Mark refers to this study.16:20: Using screening questionnaires.19:25: Mark's approach to practice and different treatment modalities.24:50: How treatment of radicular pain has changed over time, the natural time course of radicular pain and speed of onset as a predictor of recovery.30:44: “Is there a role for exercise in treating someone whose radicular pain does not centralise?”33:33: “Are there any long term restrictions on movement after radicular pain has settled? And for squatting and deadlifting specifically?” Mark refers to this paper.39:39: The role of anti-neuropathic pain medications.43:40: Coming changes to Mark's online course and treating low back pain when research and guidelines feel vagueThanks to Mark for taking the time to talk. I sent him a list of questions ahead of time but it got lost in an email thread so he didn’t see it. When we realised this before recording, he said “Well if I needed to prepare to answer your questions, I shouldn’t be answering your questions!”. What a pro!Other bits and bobsI was mortified to notice I’d commited a typo in the *title* of last week’s newsletter. But, no one noticed… right?Tina has updated her already-brilliant website Living Well With Pain so now it’s even better. Great, practical information for patients and clinicians on sciatica, in particular persistent sciatica. Here’s another really impressive spinal cord prosectionA new RCT by Julie Fritz and colleagues randomized 220 people with sciatica to receive usual care or usual care with four additional sessions of physical therapy. After six months, the early physical therapy group had an average 5.4 points better score on the Oswestry and an average 1 point less back pain - differences of debateable clinical importance. There was no average difference in leg pain. Unfortunately, I cannot access the full paper yet so I don’t know what the PT consisted of, or what they classed as sciatica etc. But the results seem disappointing although not that surprising. I think it’s really valuable to get an idea of how much PT treatment affects radicular pain so that we can decide how best to spend our time with patients and advise them on what to expect.Incidentally, the paper seems to be a very similar design to an older paper by Luijsterburg et al., and both found that patients getting extra PT reported greater treatment success but that their symptoms weren’t that different. Here’s my chat with Jack Chew, talking about research (maybe not much new to readers of this newsletter) and from 18 minutes on I pretend I have it all figured out when it comes to social media and news consumption.

Podcast titles are limited to 100 characters; the ideal title would have been…”Working as a multidisciplinary team in elite sport – the role of physiotherapy, strength and conditioning teams, medical folks, soft tissue therapists, exercise rehabilitators etc.”. A leading elite team physiotherapist (Andrew Wallis, PT) and a head of sports science/conditioning (Darren Burgess, PhD) provide you the inside view from within two elite teams. And they have international experience before their current jobs. You'll hear WHO these teams include on the sports medicine payroll. Our hosts (Ebonie Rio, David Opar) ask whose head would be on the chopping block if there was a rash of hamstring strains after a vigorous pre-season training.
