In adults with #LowBackPain (LBP), high-frequency exercise programs were associated with better outcomes than high-intensity focused programs.
That is one of the key findings from our September #SystematicReview ➡️ ow.ly/mSwn50ZOZyi

Gracias por compartir @Sedolor ❤️🤗
🏃♀️ El #ejercicio como intervención aislada puede reducir la kinesiofobia en adultos con #dolorlumbar crónico inespecífico.
👉Un metaanálisis de 8 ensayos (854 participantes) observó una reducción clínicamente relevante, aunque la alta heterogeneidad y la baja certeza de la evidencia obligan a interpretar los resultados con cautela. 👇

Many thanks to @JOSPT for sharing our work!
Very pleased to see our study highlighted and to contribute to the discussion on exercise prescription and dosage in low back pain.
Thank you for helping our research reach a wider audience!

If exercise is “MEDICINE” for fibromyalgia then which type, should we prescribe?
The message is clear. There is no single “BEST” exercise. Instead, the optimal choice may depend on timing, patient preference, and long-term adherence. Notably, modalities such as dance may offer additional benefits through enjoyment, social engagement, and sustainability.
However, clinicians should interpret these rankings cautiously, as evidence certainty remains low to moderate and heterogeneous. This paper reinforces a key principle in rehabilitation. Exercise selection should be individualised, meaningful, and sustainable, rather than protocol driven.

😍BARBELLS FOR BACK PAIN😍
Huge bias stroking time… a new systematic review confirms what many of us already know:
Resistance training helps many with chronic low back pain!
✅ Less pain
✅ Less disability
✅ Better quality of life
tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
And yes I’m aware that not all the results reached clinical significance and the other limitations of this review
And yes I know its not going to work well with everyone, and not on its own without education and empowerment!
But its a damn sight better than ‘laser-guided electro-dry needling or ‘functional postural realignment therapy’ thats for sure!
Less massages and manips… more kettlebells and bands!

El dolor lumbar crónico inespecífico #CLBP es una de las principales causas de discapacidad en todo el mundo 🌍
Sabemos que el ejercicio terapéutico se recomienda como primera línea de tto, pero… ¿Qué modalidad es más eficaz?
🧵
💪 Recomendaciones para la prescripción de ejercicio:
2–3 sesiones/semana × ≥12 semanas
4–6 ejercicios (sentadilla, peso muerto, planchas, remos, crunch, extensiones de espalda)
2–3 series de 10–20 repeticiones a 30–40% 1RM
