  SPEAKER_00: It is very important you don't ignore this.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: By me, Felicity Thow.
• 0:06
  Greetings and Happy New Year from my new role as
• 0:09
  Editor-in-Chief of MSK Mag.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: Admittedly,
• 0:12
  it looks a great deal like my previous role of Editor adjacent
• 0:16
  to Chief of MSK Mag,
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: only with the added responsibility of penning this editorial every month.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: Of course,
• 0:23
  with such great power comes great editorial responsibility to
• 0:27
  borrow and slightly
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: tweak one of our titles this month.
• 0:30
  And so if you have any feedback about MSK Mag or things you'd
• 0:34
  like to see more of,
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: please do get in touch on mskmag at physio-matters.com.
• 0:42
  My predecessor Jack Chew gave me this advice for coming up with
• 0:45
  trending MSK issues
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: for the editorial.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: Get LinkedIn.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 0:50
  forgive me for writing this in December whilst clinging to my
• 0:52
  Christmas jumper and
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: mulled wine and putting LinkedIn firmly in my January to-do list.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: Tis not the season.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: By the time you read this though, look me up.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be the new person without any friends.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: The social media platform I found on mostly is Instagram,
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: and the trend stuck in my head,
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: and probably yours for the past several weeks,
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: comes with the soundtrack of Billy Joel's lyrics from Piano Man,
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: and probably will be for life,
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: merging into a Fleetwood Mac song whilst a video montage plays,
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: overlaid with the captions,
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: in your 20s,
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: a thing will present itself.
• 1:28
  It is very important you do slash do not engage with slash
• 1:32
  marry slash get on board this thing.
• 1:36
  Now,
• 1:36
  who doesn't love a self-reflective social media trend this time
• 1:39
  of year?
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: You'll have to sing the backing music yourself.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: But here's MSK Mag's January issue version.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: In your early career,
• 1:52
  colleagues will tell you studying ergonomics at master's level
• 1:55
  will be boring.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: It is very important you do not listen to them.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: The result is Liz Prokopovich's article, The Human Factor.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: In your life,
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: you will tell yourself that you fully intend to do all of the things,
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: including the home exercise program and that new business venture.
• 2:14
  It is very important that you do not believe yourself until
• 2:17
  you've set up a
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: framework to success.
• 2:20
  You can read about that framework in Nicola Graham's The Road
• 2:23
  to Failure is Paved
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: with Good Intentions.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: In your clinic,
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: you will see people with tendinopathy in whom you will also really,
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: really suspect something else inflammatory is going on.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: It is very important you don't ignore that instinct.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Instead, read Jack Marcher's Rheumatology and Tendons.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: Certainly no.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Spardae.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: In treating hypermobility in your patients,
• 2:49
  you will start to notice certain trends among some of those who
• 2:52
  are neurodiverse.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: It is very important you allow these patients to feel seen.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: You can learn to do the same in Sue Julian's article,
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: Should We Treat Neurodivergent Patients Differently?
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: In your practice,
• 3:05
  you will be tempted to treat everyone you see using spinal
• 3:08
  manipulations because
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: chiropractic.
• 3:11
  It is very important you listen to your granddad's advice when
• 3:14
  this happens.
• 3:15
  Read about this advice and his own in Glenn Winslade's With
• 3:19
  Great Power Comes Great
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: Chiropractic Responsibility.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: And,
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: in your reading of MSK Mag,
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: you'll occasionally disagree,
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: often learn something new,
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: and hopefully feel part of a bigger conversation.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: It is very important you keep joining in,
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: largely because it's far less fun if I'm talking to myself.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Here's to the conversations we'll spark in 2026.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Melissa.
