The drums of change are beating and I feel hopeful that our profession can step into a progressive, inclusive and intersectionally representative future!

Physio is Queer too! And I love my LGBTQIA+ physio family so much.

All my healthcare colleagues. Please read.

Her discussion about the danger of separating 'the letter of the law' from the 'spirit of the law' is important. Because it is so dangerous.

When we take compassion and conscience away from how we as civilians understand the law and act with it, we become the tools of oppression

Solidarity today with the suffragette of our times, Trudi Warner, who this wicked Government wants to criminalise for telling the truth. #IStandWithTrudi

Nothing challenges bullies more than continuing to share your joy and celebrate with your community.
So I'm STILL so joyful and proud that this statement was made and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy with the @csplgbtqia+ 🏳️‍🌈⚧🏳️‍⚧️ are continuing to build a safe and inclusive profession for physios and patients.

We are still feeling the love following this strong leadership stance on anti-transphobia in healthcare.
We expected this would be welcomed by most & challenged by some
The work is ongoing & we continue to represent the LGBTQIA voice as proud queer Physios csp.org.uk/news/2024-04-1…

Apparently I've been on twitter for 15 years today.
It's changed a lot over the years and I've had some great times and some really awful times. On the whole, I think it's a place that offers up a nice opportunity for learning and meeting people in your network. #MyXAnniversary

Heading into clinic after a great weekend talking all things pain, neuroscience, touch and rehab...thanks SandyHiltonPT Paingeeks

Just spent 2 days on this for pelvic pain (it applies to humans in general and I suspect all alive things)

In loving memory of Amer Elramlawi, a nurse from Gaza.

We will not forget Amer will continue to call for a permanent and immediate ceasefire so that no more lives are stolen and humanitarian aid can be offered.

'Improving health is a political choice'

#frankenpatients from the SandyHiltonPT course!! What a fun and creative way to do case studies 🤓 .

'My job is to help younnot need me' SandyHiltonPT qith Paingeeks in Amsterdam dropping truth #physiotherapy

With neurodynamics: 'what you move first moves most, and what you move last moves least because you've already taken up the slack. This matters when we are using this for therapy for pain. There is no way of knowing what's best for the person, go slow, watch their breathing.'

'Peeing, pooping and sex are all meant to be pleasurable.' The tissues and nerves that bring these actions about are all sensitive as normal, so when we assess/touch these areas, be gentle.

If a person experience these actions with pain, we don't need to poke them to prove it.

A person's social context and history are a necessary part of our formulation and planning to help someone with pain.

'The human is going to have a response to what you're doing, we want that to positive or neutral and to be able to explore enough repetitions for it to update how they view and experience that body area/movement.' SandyHiltonPT #paingeeks

Clarity
Empathy
Accuracy
These are good principles for how we approach the clinic
