The research revealing this is intriguing. For those of us who lived in Africa, it was perfectly normal to see the folk there (mainly the women) walking for many kilometres with very heavy loads on their head, while happily chatting away and sharing the news of the day. It is far ...

However, the research has not studied what kind of programme produces the best results (see also SIB 3, page 6). This study (Mannion et al, (1999). 'What programme is best for the lower back?' Spine, 24(23), pp2435-2448) looked at 148 lower back pain patients and split them into three ...

The purpose of science is to challenge ideas and to consider alternative interpretations of observations. Within this, the place for neurophysiological/biomechanical studies in clinical research is not to predict the potential efficacy of a clinical approach, but to try to understand the mechanisms that underlie ...
