LATERAL FEMORAL HEAD

A Lateral femoral head is when the ball of the thigh bone moves laterally and upwards, usually from tight hip lateral rotators.

Signs of this is a toe out gait, at rest and when walking and a general feeling of instability in the hip.

A feeling of the hip/leg being wobbly, aching in the glutes and low back pain which can also radiate into the side of the hip may also be symptoms of a lateral femoral head.

Unfortunately McIvor Therapies will be introducing a £20 cancellation fee. If an appointment is cancelled within 24hrs a short notice cancellation fee of £20 will apply.

Recently we have been badly affected by people only giving a few hours notice,if that, therefore making it almost impossible to fill the appointment.

"THIS AFFECTS OUT LIVELYHOOD"

In line with all health professionals and other appointment based businesses, we will require a 24 hour cancellation notice.

Thank you for your understanding

Kenny, Scott & Donna

FROZEN SHOULDER

The medical term for frozen shoulder is adhesive capsulitis, and is a very painful and debilitating condition that causes the joint capsule of the shoulder to thicken.There is 3 stages to frozen shoulder - freezing, frozen and thawing.

Freezing stage - a lot of pain and limited movement of the shoulder

Frozen stage - less pain but the shoulder still feels stiff and restricted.

Thawing stage - much less pain and more movement

This condition can last months or even years. Usually characterised by pain at the front of the shoulder, especially around the biceps tendon, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and suscapularis tendons. Pain may also radiate into the neck, back, chest and down the arms.

We can help.
