Painful conditions like osteoarthritis share common risk factors with many co-morbidities across all of the bodily systems. We need to move beyond seeing pain as a "joint" or "muscle" or "bone" problem and see it for what it is...a systems problem. frontiersin.org/journals/end…

Dear X Friends, What you eat is how you sleep: A balanced diet rich in plant-based foods enhances the production of sleep-regulating metabolites such as melatonin, GABA & serotonin – no need to supplement! tinyurl.com/2pbv75z6

Are the disappointing results for exercise on pain outcomes in knee OA unexpected? Interventions that focus on the joint and not the person will always be suboptimal. cochrane.org/CD004376/CENTRA…

Great work! Behaviour change is complex and simply telling people the benefits of exercise etc doesn't seem to work.
Clinicians are increasingly being recommended to try to change our patient’s lifestyle. But is our advice helping people change behavior? Is this an effective & feasible approach to improve public health? Check out our paper in @AnnalsofIM @GCSHcare (1/5) acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/…

Helping patients make sense of pain is more about listening as opposed to just telling. Really informative talk by @kieranosull highlighting aspects that make up person centred care whilst talking about CFT
