• The shoulder is the most dislocated joint due to its inherently unstable nature.
• Shoulder dislocations and subluxations are more common in those playing contact sports and for people with hypermobility.
• Once you dislocate your shoulder once, your joint is lax and more prone to further dislocations, making following a good rehab program very important.
• The act of subluxing or dislocating your shoulder can result in damage to some of the structures of the shoulder that may warrant imaging to investigate.
• Shoulder dislocations have a large effect on quality of life and activities of daily living when poorly managed.
• A good rehab and strengthening program, with a graded return to sport generally results in very good outcomes.
• Each shoulder injury requires an individual approach to make the rehabilitation most effective.
• When conservative management fails, or in the presence of multiple dislocations, a referral to an orthopaedic specialist for advice on surgical repair may be warranted.

ITB syndrome, sometimes called ITB friction syndrome, is an overuse injury of the attachment of the ITB onto the outside of the knee.
* It is seen most in distance runners and with hiking.
* Traditionally described as excessive friction and rubbing of the distal ITB onto the bone, recent evidence suggests the problem is more related to excessive compression of the under surface of the tissue onto the bone.
* This occurs due to poor hip and knee control while under load because of weakness, poor biomechanics or both.
* Commonly the condition presents after increasing training volume too quickly or with a sudden spike in training load.
* Management involves decreasing loads down to an appropriate level and addressing any weakness or biomechanical issues.
* While often poorly managed and painful, a simple program of load management and corrective exercises should result in significant pain reduction and improved function.
* If you have been suffering with pain and reduced function due to ITB syndrome, follow the link below to book an appointment with one of our expert physios to get a plan to get you back out there doing the things you love!

• Spondylolisthesis most commonly affects the lower back and then the neck.
• It typically occurs due to congenital deformity of the spine, with sports involving repetitive high velocity movements or as a progressive degenerative change over time.
• Symptoms can mimic other back conditions.
• Local back and/or neck pain are the most common symptoms.
• In more severe cases, compression of the nerves, with radiation of pain may be present.
• Spondylolisthesis can be suspected through a physical examination but is confirmed through imaging.
• Spondylolisthesis will require a long-term management strategy to maintain strength and mobility.
• In most cases, conservative exercise-based management is quiet effective.
• Treatment typically involves avoiding aggravating activities as well as a strength program for the core and limbs and exercises to improve movement control.
• In more severe cases, orthopaedic review may be required.
• Stop putting up with back pain and reduced function. Book an appointment now with one of our experienced physios for a diagnosis and plan to get you back to your active best.

• Cervical disc injury is a common complaint typically affecting the neck but can include referred pain into the shoulder and arm.
• Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the condition but include neck and shoulder pain, muscle spasm and reduced movement.
• At times the injury will result in irritation of the nerves supplying the arms, resulting in pain, tingling, numbness or weakness into the arms.
• Management generally involves manual therapy to restore joint and neural mobility, education around the nature of the injury and activities to avoid and exercises to strengthen and increase mobility of the neck.
• Anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications are often useful in assisting to settle the symptoms.
• Imaging is not required to diagnose a cervical disc injury but may be indicated in the suspicion of a severe disc injury or significant neural compression.
• A surgical consultant can be required for severe disc herniations, particularly in the presence of significant neural compression.
• Don’t put up with pain and reduced function from a sore neck. Click on the following link and book an appointment today with one of our experienced physios for an accurate diagnosis of your issues and a plan to get you pain free and doing the things you love!
