Text Messages as a Reminder Aid and Educational Tool

This study sent patients text messages as reminders to adhere to treatment and educational tips. It seems the patients were positive about the texts:

"User feedback on the TM (text message) system was positive with 88% and 92% of participants reporting that the reminder TMs and educational TMs were helpful, respectively. In conclusion, study participants were receptive to using TMs as a reminder aid and educational tool. The positive trends observed are promising and lay the ground work for further studies needed to elucidate the full potential of this simple and cost-effective intervention".

Shovelling snow?

Are you in pain shovelling snow? Take regular breaks, let your knees do the work and try doing some back extensions (leaning back) either standing up or when you get indoors (on the floor half press ups).
