🚶‍♀️ What your unique walking style might be telling you 🚶‍♂️

Did you know your walk is like your fingerprint?
Every step reveals a secret about your body.

👣 Short, shuffling steps?
👉 Could mean stiff hips, or early balance / neurological changes.
👣 One foot slapping the ground?
👉 Your ankle might not be pulling its weight.
👣 One hip hiking higher than the other?
👉 Often a sign of weak glutes or your back working overtime.
👣 Excessive foot roll in or out?
👉 Your knees and back may be compensating - often the hidden start of pain.

As physios, we read gait like a book. Your walk tells us if muscles are weak, joints are stiff, or your body is compensating in ways you don’t even notice.

✨ Here’s the best part: small changes in how you move can prevent big problems later.

➡️ Drop a 👣 if you’ve ever noticed something quirky about your walk.
➡️ Or DM us at Destiny Health to book a gait check: it might just change the way you move(and feel) every single day.

🔥 SHOULDER INJURY AT THE FRONT?
HAVE YOU RULED OUT AN AC JOINT SPRAIN? 🔥

That little bump on top of your shoulder? That’s your AC (Acromioclavicular) joint, and when it takes a hit - whether from a fall, tackle, or gym accident - you could end up with an AC joint sprain, where its ligaments become torn! 😩

Here’s how bad it can get:

🥇 Grade 1: Mild sprain, no visible deformity. Just pain & tenderness.

🥈 Grade 2: Partial ligament tear. Noticeable swelling & pain lifting the arm.

🥉 Grade 3: Complete ligament tear. Shoulder "bump" appears. Arm movement = 😵‍💫

🔥 Grade 4: Clavicle pushed backward. OUCH! Surgery may be needed.

💥 Grade 5: Ligaments SHREDDED. Big bump, intense pain. Surgery often required.

💡 How Physio Can Help:
✅ Pain management & swelling control
✅ Strengthening surrounding muscles for support
✅ Mobility & rehab exercises to restore function
✅ Hands-on therapy & taping techniques
✅ Close communication with any doctors that become involved

💪 Got a sore AC joint? Let’s get you pain-free!

Dislocated your kneecap? A physio can help you recover and prevent it from happening again! Here’s how:

🔹 Joint Mobilisation – Ensuring better kneecap tracking to prevent future dislocations.
🔹 Balance & Proprioception – Single-leg work to improve control and stability.
🔹 Strength Training – Targeting glutes, core, and hip muscles for improved knee alignment.
🔹 Biomechanics Fixes – Correcting movement patterns to reduce stress on the knee.
🔹 Bracing or Taping – Support during activity while your knee regains strength.

🏃‍♂️ The goal? Get you back to pain-free movement—stronger than before!
