As we age, there is a loss of muscle mass and strength, which can result in functional deterioration, decline in gait and balance, increased fall risks, and loss of independence. 

Strength training has been shown in studies to improve older adults' performance in simple activities such as walking, stair climbing , and sit to stand. 

These studies also show that the most common complaints from strength training are muscle soreness and joint pain.

As physios, we are highly trained to treat muscle soreness and joint pain. 

Book an appointment with one of our physios today, so that your muscle soreness or joint pain do not prevent you from exercising.

Femoro-acetabular impingement syndrome is a movement related hip disorder where the commonly reported symptom is hip and/or groin pain. Movements such as turning, twisting, squatting may cause sharp, stabbing pain around the anterior hip or groin area.

One precursor of developing such an injury is because the hip bones do not form normally during childhood development. As we get older, our lifestyle and activities, combined with a variation in hip structure, can lead to FAI syndrome.

Current treatment calls for NSAIDs to help reduce any pain and inflammation.

PHYSIOTHERAPY can help improve the range of motion in your hip and strengthen the muscles that support the joint.

If neither have been helpful in reducing pain and diagnostic imaging has shown joint damage, then arthroscopic surgery may be recommended.

If you are experiencing hip/groin pain, book an appointment with one of our physios today.

Adhesive capsulitis also known as frozen shoulder can be a debilitating injury due to pain, the loss of shoulder range of motion (ROM) and function. 

It can happen on its own without any known trauma (primary frozen shoulder) or after a shoulder injury (secondary). This may be due to the pain felt during a shoulder injury and subsequent immobilization. 

Frozen shoulder is self limiting but could take up to 4 years to resolve and often times people still experience mild pain and limited ROM.

Studies have shown effectiveness of corticosteroid injections and physiotherapy. Because of a risk of secondary frozen shoulder, it is important to seek professional help if you are experiencing pain and subsequent inability to move your shoulder after an injury. 

Physiotherapy can assess and provide treatment to reduce pain and increase ROM to the shoulder as quickly as possible.

The 2nd component of managing runner's knee pain is making sure your hips are strong - specifically your gluteus medius and maximus. Strength in the hips will improve the stability in your knees. 

The 1st two exercises isolate each specific muscle, so when you do them , take your time and make sure you can feel the muscles contract. 

When you run, you are moving from one leg to the other and using your body's rotation and arm swing to generate energy. The "hip airplane" is a great exercise to train your hip and core strength.

For a more detailed and comprehensive exercise program regarding runner's knee, consult with your physio.

Originally developed in the 1980s to treat urological conditions, ESWT was later modified to treat a variety of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions.

Some studies have shown significant increases in blood flow after shockwave treatment.

This could lead to better tissue regeneration in tendinopathies through the better blood supply.

Another study also reported reduction in calcification deposit size in rotator cuff tendinitis.

Studies have reported ESWT to be a safe treatment with no serious side effects.

It is important to note that a comprehensive rehabilitation protocol over an isolated treatment method is always preferred.

To see if shockwave therapy is right for you and to receive a comprehensive rehab protocol, click the link in our bio and book an appointment with one of our physios.
