For 2021 I am doing something new with the NAF with some very short extra episodes or 'extrasodes' released each month, where I give some thoughts and opinions on various things. Don't panic Greg and myself will still be doing our usual monthly episodes as normal, these are just a little something extra for you. To start I take a look at how we can all move forward with social media debates and discussions. -Adam To become a show patreon click here https://www.patreon.com/NAFphysiopodcast

So for this month’s episode Adam and Greg discuss sham and placebo exercises in rehab. Now this topic is clearly raising lots of questions and doubts about our specific exercises and how and why those exercises help people with aches and pains. But does this mean that our specific exercises are useless and not necessary when sham and placebos work just as well, and does this also mean we can do whatever the hell we like with our exercise prescriptions? Warning: Watch out for a rather strong and long Adam rant at the beginning!

In this episode Greg and Adam discuss lying, deceit, and dishonesty but not in the way you may first think. They discuss how our body can often lie to us, telling us it's stiff, weak, out of place, or damaged when it's not. They try to work out why and when it does this and how we can tell when we are being lied to or not by our own body.
