Often with musculoskeletal injuries it may be considered that fracture of a bone is often a preferred diagnosis because of it’s standard healing time. Often soft tissue injuries such as tendinopathies are much more problematic and can take some time to heal. Unfortunately, however, some bones just don’t react according to the “rest and heal” model over a period of six weeks. Ongoing stressors due to bone loading/position and issues such as poor blood flow can indeed impair and prolong a certain and predictable recovery.

Physiotherapy helps to guide recovery by determining the type of injury and the influence of the patients’ ongoing activities during a period of rehabilitation. Ultimately, if a precise accident/incident cannot be determined, then any of the factors effecting loading in the body must be considered as part of a comprehensive Biomechanical analysis. This will help prevent recurrence of the patient’s injury. Can you imagine, returning to your beloved activity after 3 months of absence, only to have a recurrence of the original injury.

I recently received a few infographics from “The Running Physio” which offer an excellent starting point for the consideration of the injuries I have alluded to. It must be understood that it is often our active pursuits that keep us mentally and physically healthy. It’s no fun being injured but a lack of understanding or prognostic factors can only make recovery more aggravating. Although many of the injuries noted in the infographic can be difficult to treat and require prolonged periods of rest it is in the full understanding of your injury that can get you through these often challenging and frustrating times. So, keep aware, keep active, move well and stay strong.

😔 Low back and neck pain are highly prevalent in office workers and can be the cause of significant disability.

🔍 A new study found that regular active breaks or postural shifts may prevent the onset of low back or neck pain in at-risk office workers

👉🏻 This is an interesting paper, and it highlights that changing positions or taking breaks from sitting may be more feasible for people at risk of developing neck or low back pain in an office setting, compared to completing an exercise program.

👥 Dr. Sarah Haag reviewed this paper for the new October 2021 issue of the Physio Network Research Reviews.
