Have you heard that many types of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears and, meniscus tears can recover without surgery, and can heal themselves back together?

At Carina Central Physiotherapy we are fortunate to have Musucloskeletal Physiotherapist Michael Ingle on our team who was is a co-developer of the BLEX (BLock EXtension) ACL healing method. This involves using a specific knee brace over 12 weeks to restrict the knee to certain angles to enhance the ability of the ACL to heal back together naturally, without the need for surgery.

Long COVID and Physiotherapy
Most of the population will recover fully following a COVID-19 infection, however for a small group of people the lasting effects can have a big impact on their exercise tolerance, return to work and sport, breathing and quality of life.
Click on the link below for Jen Phillip's excellent blog about how Respiratory Physiotherapy can help with Long COVID.

Long COVID, or Post COVID syndrome, are terms used to describe symptoms that last longer than 12 weeks following initial COVID 19 infection. A respiratory physiotherapist is recommended as a key part of rehabilitation.
