✅️✅️ Day 2 of Arsenal SEMS Conference finished ✅️✅️
▶️▶️Some key take home messages from today
1️⃣ Damian Griffin - physio is crucial for helping those with FAI control the hip. Surgery alone is clinically more effective than Physio alone for FAI - surgery fixes the shape
2️⃣Joanne Kemp - Pelvic floor symptoms may occur in conjunction with hip injuries in females due to the roles of the Piriformis and Obturator Internus muscles.
Women with worse hip pain have higher kinesiophobia, less trunk endurance, less quad and calf activity, more hip flexion and adduction angles and less hip extensor activity
3️⃣ Nav Singh - no single metric/test can be used to monitor recovery, and reliable data doesn't always mean it is useful
4️⃣ David Robson, author of The Expectation
Effect - described the Brain's power to create self fulfilling prophecies, through changes in our perception, behaviour and physiology. This arises from the Brain's 'Prediction Machine'
5️⃣ Peter Brukner - Sugar, Seed Oils and Modern Grains are major factors for inflammation within the body, with a strong link between Inflammation and Tendonopathies
