Welcome Back Rheumatology Fans,
Polymyalgia Rheumatica is a fascinating condition which for a long long (loooooong) time has been treated with steroids and the crossing of fingers. We are now seeing progress however with biologics on the horizon.
This publication HERE (I have put think link rather than the doc so they can use tracking) brings us good information on targets for Physios (and other MSK Professionals) in PMR and I see this as a big step forward.
Thinking about what I teach on my courses there isn’t anything new in here from my point of view, it is essentially how I teach management of PMR BUT I have been extrapolating from other conditions - mostly RA. Now we can lean on this more specifically and that makes the little nerd inside me very happy.
Below I go into more detail on the specifics, you can upgrade your substack membership or enroll in my online course which will give you access as well
