The latest addition to Modern Manual Therapy Premium is here! The initial video lecture series is live and the next two lectures will be released every other week. These great refreshers are from Dr. Scotty Butcher of Strength Rebels.

Scotty goes over how to review and be critical of research. After that, he will be joined by Dr. Andrew Rothschild, MMT Blog contributor, and fellow UpDoc Media podcaster - check out Healthcare DisruPTion with the ever popular Jerry Durham.

Andrew and Scotty will do audio/video reviews of research, plus give the all important common sense take of how to apply (or not apply) it clinically. New reviews will be coming every other week, so just more amazing content for all of you subscribers!

There seems to be a recent trend by the public and the media to demonize specific exercises for their potential to open up the gates of hell and blast your body into oblivion. Perhaps this is not all that surprising considering that physical therapists themselves can use such language (well, not usually verbatim!) when instructing clients on the do's and don'ts of exercise prescription.

This is simply not true. There are no 'bad' exercises. However, the link between getting hurt and lifting is not a direct one, and certainly not due to a specific lift/exercise. There is poor execution, poor set up and cueing, and/or poor loading/programming, but don't blame it on the exercise. That said, everyone and their dog has heard of someone getting hurt from lifting heavy shit and perhaps this is where both the media and well intentioned therapists go wrong.

This CNN article is an example of such uninformed collaboration. The article is rife with both scientific and practical error, not to mention committing probably the worst sin that we can possibly commit: doing unintentional harm (nociception, in this case) to our clients.

Have a view at my response to the CNN article. Also, for those looking for a more research based response, check out this post where I respond to a physical therapist's column about avoiding certain exercises in rehabilitation and health settings.
