A Baker’s Cyst, or its technical name a popliteal/synovial cyst, is when the fluid-filled sac that sits at the back of our knees becomes inflamed and swollen. This can lead to knee pain and feeling like you cannot fully bend or straighten your knee.
Having a Baker’s Cyst usually means that there is an underlying injury or irritation to the knee that has caused inflammation in the knee. When we get inflammation in our knees, it will find any open area to go, if it goes to the back of our and fills that fluid-filled sac then we call it a Baker’s Cyst. A common cause of Baker’s Cyst is a flare of knee osteoarthritis. Physiotherapy is a great way to conservatively treat a Baker’s Cyst.

Massaging the TMJ can help with symptoms of pain and stiffness. It’s a good idea to start with light pressure and then gradually increase it as tolerated. Too much pressure can aggravate symptoms, especially if you’re not used to massage in that area.
Massage therapy should be applied to the muscles around the TMJ first before directly massaging the TMJ itself. This will help you determine how irritable the TMJ is. In some cases, the TMJ may be too sensitive to massage directly, and the treatment will need to be focused on the surrounding muscles. Massage can be applied to the jaw muscles, facial muscles, and surrounding muscles (e.g. neck and shoulder muscles).

If you suffer from TMJ pain, massage therapy can provide relief. Discover the benefits of massage for TMJ in Kitchener with our experienced therapists.

Trigger finger is an overuse injury where the long finger flexor tendons, tendon sheath, and ligaments get irritated and inflamed. We can even develop a thickening from the inflammation and scar tissue, called a nodule. This can lead to feelings of tightness and as it progresses may cause the finger to catch when bending or straightening your finger.

Find relief for your trigger finger with physiotherapy in Kitchener. Our experienced therapists will create personalized treatment plans to address your specific needs.
