<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">We regularly test every system in our body to predict problems <em>except</em> our musculoskeletal system - WHY??</span></h3>
&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yearly eye test</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regular hearing tests</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dentists once a year</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wellman/Wellwoman screening </span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Breast screening</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cholesterol testing </span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blood pressure testing</span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet with the musculoskeletal system we literally WAIT until we have symptoms before we seek help! Usually by this time it’s probably been hanging around for some time because of our body’s amazing ability to compensate, adapt and yet continue to function.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Our body has proven to be ingenious at evolving to its environment, which we see very obviously in various situation. Take bodybuilding competitions for example, with the right environment in place i.e. training and diet etc, muscles can grow.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">A runner will adapt to their sport and a desk workers body will also adapt to prolonged sitting with certain areas in their bodies staying in lengthened or shortened positions as they sit and type.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Even a bricklayer's hands can develop a thick layer of calluses on the skin that’s to protect their hands.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3803" src="https://biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/calluses-on-hand-1-1.jpg" alt="calluses-on-hand-1" width="336" height="224" /></span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">With all of this evidence and information I find it incredible, particularly with the amount of musculoskeletal problems commonly suffered today, that there is not a compulsory standardised annual musculoskeletal screening system. This could then be offered to everyone to help reduce NHS costs and absenteeism costs for businesses both large and small? Medical insurance companies would LOVE something like this, right!? They are happy to pay out for you to have other physical examinations to avoid problems later on that might cost them even more.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">As movement/exercise specialists we could all contribute to reducing these costs with risk reduction screenings and bespoke exercise programming. Some barely even speak to each other professionally because of a fear of losing clients but thats a whole other Juicemail topic! ;)</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Not only would having these skills enable us to assist reduction  unnecessary injuries and recurring ones, it could reduce insidious low grade aches and niggles, improve the way people move and all while increasing performance levels!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The bodybuilders gain symmetry<img class="wp-image-2964 alignright" src="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Screen-Shot-2017-07-03-at-10.10.13-1024x813.png" alt="screen-shot-2017-07-03-at-10-10-13" width="373" height="296" /></span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The runner gets faster
</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The desk worker had less fatigue &amp; pain thus reducing absenteeism</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The bricklayer would probably still have hardened skin on his hands but hopefully, would have less back &amp; knee problems!</span>

Common problems like non specific low back pain could be addressed bespokely instead of a uniform method that is based on assumptions.

<span style="font-weight: 400;">We are perfectly placed with our exercise knowledge for this very role!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">People employe our services for the fun stuff, they see us sometimes several times a week. With us they have positive goals because we are the movement specialists and THAT is more commonly the problem isn’t it!?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">We should stop slagging PT Education off and take some responsibility to improving it. L3 PT, Pilates or Sports Massage are superb base level qualifications to get started.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">We cannot appreciate L3 without demonstrating the ability to appreciate L2 first. It’s called layered learning.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So once you’ve gained L3, practise it and understand the right questions you need answers to THEN we go on to learn more. With our personal development and education ultimately being our responsibility, surely learning how to perform these types of musculoskeletal screens/assessments would be ideal.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">WE, as movement specialists, could be the first point of call each year for assessing the nation’s physical health to REDUCE injury risk and improve movement ability through appropriate exercise  preparation to improve intrinsic capacity.  </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Having a standardised, evidence-based, reproducible system could make a huge deal of difference to our client's success and achievements.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">And in fact to our Nation!</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">And of course over-time the NHS </span>
