It’s rare to get through a year without straining a muscle, injuring a ligament, or hurting your back! As long as you’re on this planet, you’re susceptible to an injury.

But when you’re having pain, what makes more sense: ice or heat? The age old dilemma!

It really depends on how recently the injury happened. In today’s video, Dr. Pichini delves into which you should use, ice or heat, depending on the circumstances!

You’ve probably heard of plantar fasciitis - but haven’t thought much of it until you’ve felt the pain in your heel!

A thick piece of connective tissue that runs along the heel and sole of your foot can often be a troublesome area.

It’s often caused by repetitive movement, sudden weight gain, or damage to the plantar fascia. This results in pain whenever you put weight on your foot!

In today’s post, Dr. Pichini and the team demonstrate 3 exercises you can do at home for relief from plantar fasciitis!

1️⃣ 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗙 𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗦𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣
Stand up on the edge of a step. Move up onto your toes, and then slowly lower your heels below the level of the step. Perform this for 10 repetitions, 2 sets, daily.

2️⃣ 𝗛𝗘𝗘𝗟 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗣 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗖𝗛
With toes on the edge of a step, slowly lower heels until a gently stretch is felt in the calf muscle. Keep your knee straight. Perform this for 10 repetitions, holding for 30 seconds, daily.

3️⃣ 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗖𝗜𝗔 𝗥𝗢𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗨𝗧
Sit down and step on a water bottle with the foot (you can also use a frozen water bottle for additional pressure). Move the water bottle forwards and bak with your foot. Perform this for 10 repetitions, 2 sets, daily.

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body - it’s able to move into a variety of different planes.

However, the impressive mobility of the shoulder joint comes at the cost of its stability, in other words its ability to maintain its position.

This means the shoulder is often prone to injury. From rotator cuff injuries to tendon strains, from subluxations to dislocations, it’s important to keep your shoulders strong and healthy, especially as we age.

In today’s post, our wonderful physiotherapist Satnam Chohan demonstrates three exercises you can do at home to ensure good shoulder health and proper stability!

Ever look at a foot along the inside?

You’ve probably noticed an upward curve along the middle. This is called the arch of the foot (technically known as the medial longitudinal arch).

It’s made of tendons and other tissues of the foot. And when these tendons have the proper tension, the foot forms a normal arch.

When these tendons aren’t under enough tension, this results in a flat or fallen arch (also known as a “flat foot”)

In this video, Dr. Pichini demonstrates a self-test you can do at home to see if you have a flat arch!

When your muscles or joints are painful, topical analgesics like Biofreeze and Volarin can offer relief.

But remember…

➡️ Never apply them on open wounds or damaged skin

➡️ Never use them prior to or after using a heating pad or ice

➡️ Wash your hands well after using them, as they can irritate your eyes and sinuses

Also, it’s important to keep In mind topical analgesics only offer temporary pain relief.

They won’t necessarily cure the cause of your pain!

In this video, Dr. Pichini discusses topical analgesics and their many uses!

Tendons are incredibly strong. Despite this, if you overuse them with repetitive work and without rest, they can become sore and painful.

This is often caused by repetitive micro tears in the tendon, resulting in a condition called tendonitis.

The biceps are one area this is common. Especially in occupations involving repetitive movement including assembly line workers, housekeepers, and office workers.

In this video, Dr. Pichini explains what biceps tendonitis is, and demonstrates one stretch you can do at home for fast-acting relief.
