🔥 Acute Pain Vs Chronic Pain

For both acute pain and chronic pain, physiotherapists play a big role in managing symptoms and improving function. Here’s what a physiotherapist can offer:

🔹 Acute Pain Management

1️⃣Pain relief techniques → ice/heat therapy, electrotherapy (TENS, ultrasound), gentle manual therapy.
2️⃣Positioning & support → advice on posture, use of braces/taping if needed.
3️⃣Early mobilization → safe movements to prevent stiffness.
4️⃣Education → how to protect the injured area and promote faster healing.

🔹 Chronic Pain Management

1️⃣Individualized exercise program → stretching, strengthening, aerobic fitness to reduce stiffness and improve function.
2️⃣Manual therapy → joint mobilization, soft tissue release to ease tension.
3️⃣Pain neuroscience education → helping patients understand pain mechanisms to reduce fear and anxiety.
4️⃣Self-management strategies → pacing activities, relaxation techniques, mindfulness.
5️⃣Lifestyle advice → ergonomics, sleep hygiene, weight management, healthy movement habits.
6️⃣Multidisciplinary approach → working together with doctors, psychologists, and occupational therapists.

✅ In short:

▶️For acute pain, physio focuses on healing and protection.
▶️For chronic pain, physio focuses on long-term management, function, and quality of life.

✋腱鞘炎很常见？教你自测阶段！

很多人手腕、大拇指痛，都担心是不是腱鞘炎。其实在家也能做个简单自测，判断自己大概处于哪个阶段～

⸻

🔹 腱鞘炎的常见阶段

1️⃣ 轻度期（早期）
• 表现：拇指或手腕轻微酸胀、偶尔疼痛
• 什么时候痛：用力拧毛巾、抱小孩、刷手机时
• 休息后：一般能缓解

👉 建议：减少重复动作，冰敷缓解，适度休息

⸻

2️⃣ 中度期（发展期）
• 表现：手腕拇指根部持续疼痛，活动时加重
• 伴随：局部会有肿胀、压痛点
• 典型测试：
✋ Finkelstein Test（芬克尔斯坦测试）
① 手握拳，大拇指压在掌心里
② 手腕向小指一侧弯曲
👉 如果大拇指根部明显疼痛，就要小心了

👉 建议：佩戴护具，减少负荷，适当热敷/理疗

⸻

3️⃣ 重度期（严重期）
• 表现：疼痛持续存在，甚至晚上休息也痛
• 功能受限：拇指活动受影响，拿东西吃力
• 可能出现：明显肿块、活动时“弹响”

👉 建议：及时就医，可能需要药物注射或手术

⸻

💡小贴士
• 腱鞘炎早期调整习惯+物理治疗，恢复很快
• 宝妈、手机党、电脑族最容易中招
• 千万不要拖到疼到无法拿筷子才去看医生

⸻

📌 你平时有没有拇指或手腕痛？
不妨在家测一下，看看自己是不是也有腱鞘炎苗头～

👟看鞋底就能发现你的脚有问题吗？

很多人不知道，其实鞋底的磨损程度，能偷偷“暴露”你的脚和走路习惯～
今天就带大家看看鞋底小秘密🧐

⸻

1️⃣ 鞋底外侧磨损严重👣

👉 多数人都会这样，因为走路习惯是先外侧着地。
⚠️ 如果外侧磨损特别厉害，可能代表你有轻微O型腿、外翻步态，久了容易脚踝和膝盖疼。

2️⃣ 鞋底内侧磨损👣

👉 说明走路时脚掌内旋明显。
⚠️ 这可能和扁平足、X型腿有关，走久了容易小腿酸痛、膝盖压力大。

3️⃣ 前掌磨损很快👣

👉 多见于经常跑步、或者走路喜欢用前脚掌发力的人。
⚠️ 如果伴随脚趾、脚掌疼痛，可能提示前脚掌承受过多压力，要注意鞋垫支撑。

4️⃣ 后跟一边磨损快👣

👉 如果左脚和右脚的后跟磨损不对称，可能说明骨盆或脊柱有轻微歪斜，导致受力不均。

⸻

💡小建议：
• 选择合适的鞋垫，改善支撑。
• 定期检查鞋底，及时更换磨损严重的鞋子。
• 如果已经有疼痛，建议找专业的物理治疗师/足科医生评估。

⸻

📌 你们的鞋底是属于哪种磨损呢？

Bell’s Palsy

🧒 What is Bell’s Palsy?
Bell’s palsy is a condition where there is sudden weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face.
🔹 It happens because the facial nerve (7th cranial nerve) becomes swollen or inflamed.
🔹 usually temporary, and most people recover within a few weeks to months.

🧒 Signs and Symptoms
🔹 Drooping of one side of the face
🔹Inability to close the eye fully on the affected side
🔹 Drooping of the mouth, drooling, difficulty smiling
🔹 Change in taste sensation
🔹 Pain around the ear or jaw
🔹 Increased sensitivity to sound on one side

🧒 Medical Management
🔹 Steroid medication (e.g. Prednisolone) – reduces nerve swelling, best started within 72 hours.
🔹 Antiviral drugs – sometimes used if a viral infection is suspected.
🔹 Eye care is very important:
Use lubricating eye drops during the day.
Use ointment and an eye patch/taping at night to protect the eye.
🔹 Pain relief – paracetamol or other painkillers if needed.

🧒 Physiotherapy & Self-Care
🔹 Facial exercises in front of a mirror:
▫️Raise eyebrows
▫️Close eyes gently, then tightly
▫️Smile, pout, show teeth
▫️Blow out cheeks with air
🔹 Massage – gentle massage of facial muscles to reduce stiffness.
🔹 Cold or heat packs – may help relieve discomfort.
🔹 Balance chewing – use both sides of the mouth when eating.

🧒 Recovery & Outlook
🔹 Most patients recover in 2–3 months.
🔹 Early treatment helps recovery.
Some may have longer recovery or mild residual weakness.
🔹 Regular follow-up with your physiotherapist is important.

✅ Remember: Protect your eye, start treatment early, and do gentle facial exercises.

腰椎间盘突出千万不要这样练🙅🏻🙅🏻

腰突后急性期 (Acute back pain/ sciatica)绝对不能做的动作❗️做错动作反而增加腰椎的负担，越练越伤！
❌小燕飞
❌仰卧起坐
❌眼镜蛇式

在急性期发作时，任何动作都不要去做，最好躺着休息敷冰🧊，需要行动或者工作时可以佩戴护腰带，帮助减轻腰部压力，等急性期过后再去做相关的康复训练动作，增强腰腹力量。

❓为什么核心力量(core muscle)可以帮助减少腰痛？

答：🚫 如果核心力量不足，可能导致...

⭐️脊柱支撑力差 → 腰椎压力集中 → 加剧突出

⭐️身体稳定性差 → 日常动作更易拉伤

⭐️姿势代偿 → 其他部位（如臀部、膝盖）过度负荷

💡 适合腰突康复期的核心训练（循序渐进）：

> ⚠️训练前建议咨询医生或康复师，避免诱发疼痛

以下是适合腰突患者做的运动：
✅俯卧肘撑
✅死虫式
✅鸟狗式

以上训练动作要在无痛的情况下完成，如有不适请立即停止哦。

🏸 Lateral tibial plateau fracture
- A break in the upper surface of the tibia where it meets the femur.

⚠️ Causes:
🤾 Injury causing a force greater than the bone can withstand.
🤾 Usually due to a direct blow.
🤾 Indirect stress caused by twisting or bending.

🧎What are the symptoms of a lateral tibial plateau fracture❓
1. Pain when weight is applied
2. Tenderness and swelling in the leg or calf
3. Limited range of motion
4. Severe cases: numbness or "pins and needles" in the foot due to nerve damage

🩺 Medical Management
🔸Imaging: X-rays, CT, or MRI for accurate assessment
🔸Conservative treatment (if non-displaced fracture):
🔸Immobilization using brace or cast
🔸Non-weight bearing with crutches
🔸Surgical intervention (for displaced or complex fractures):
🔸ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation)
🔸Plates, screws, or rods to stabilize bones

🏋️ Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy starts as soon as it's safe (post-op or after initial healing). Goals are to reduce pain, restore movement, strengthen muscles, and return to function.

1. Postoperative care if undergoing surgery.
2. Early range of motion exercises as tolerated.
3. Strengthening exercises eg. Isometric quad sets, gluteal squeeze, heel slides, straight leg raise etc.
4. Gait training

📌Other than exercises, physiotherapist will help u with some electrical modalities to enhance blood supply to promote bone and cartilage healing as well as for pain management.

🏃🏻‍♂️Osgood-Scaltter Disease🏀

Osgood-Schaltter disease is a painful swelling on the knee which happens when the patellar tendon is irritated. It often affects children who are still growing, especially in those who are hoing through a growth spurt. A growth spurt can make the child's body more sensitive to stress and strain on the muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons when they use their knees a lot (intense sport training). This can irritate the joint and cause pain and swelling.

🏥Syptoms:
1. Knee pain especially below the knee cap area
2. Swelling on the tibial tubercle
3. Tenderness when touched
4. A hard and painful bump just below the kneecap
5. Pain when squatting, stairclimbing, jumping and running.

🏥Causes:
1. Repetitive strain injury: Intense physical activities can put alot of pressure on the knee and cause overuse injury
2. Muscle imbalance: Hamstring thigtness and quadriceps weakness
3. Age: Children between 11 to 14 are more likely to have this pain as they experience the most groth spurts
4. Playing sports that require alot of running and jumping

👩🏻‍⚕️Treatment:
1. Rest: Avoid the sport activity that caused the irritation in their knee.
2. Icing: Apply ice on painful area 15 mins for few times per day to reduce inflammation
3. Physical therapy: Ultrasound,, TENS and stretching quads muscles to relieve tension on the patellar tendon.

🦶🏻Accessory navicular syndrome⚡️

An accesory navicular is a small extra bone or cartilage located near the inner side of the foot, just above the longitudinal arch, where the navicular bone sits. Some people may have this additional piece of bone congenitally. This can cause pain and inflammation in middle of foot.

👉🏻Causes of Accessory Navicular Syndrome:
1. Overuse or Repetitive Stress: High-impact activities such as running, jumping, or intense sports can cause stress to the accessory navicular, leading to inflammation or pain.
2. Foot Deformities: Abnormal foot structure, such as flat feet can further stresses the accessory navicular.
3. Trauma or Injury: Direct injury to the foot or a sudden impact can cause trauma to the accessory navicular
4. Ankle Sprains: Acute injuries like ankle sprains can trigger inflammation of the accessory navicular
5. Tight Footwear: Shoes that don’t provide sufficient room and adequate support can lead to gait abnormality and worsening symptoms.

👉🏻Symptoms of Accessory Navicular Syndrome:
1. Pain in the Inner Arch: Pain along the inside of the foot, near the arch. This pain may worsen with activity or standing for prolonged periods.
2. Swelling and Tenderness: The area around the accessory navicular may become swollen and tender to the touch, especially after physical activity or excessive movement.
3. Difficulty with Movement: Some individuals may experience stiffness or difficulty moving the foot, especially when walking or engaging in high-impact activities.
4. Pain with Footwear: Tight or ill-fitting shoes may exacerbate the pain, especially if the footwear places pressure on the arch.

👉🏻Risk factor of Accessory Navicular Syndrome:
1. Age: The condition tends to affect adolescents or young adults with higher physical activity.
2. Foot Structure: Individuals with flat feet or overpronation are at higher risk.
3. Sports Participation: People who participate in sports that involve running, dancing, or jumping are more likely to experience irritation of the accessory navicular due to repetitive stress on the foot.
4. Family History: A family history of accessory navicular may increase the likelihood of developing the syndrome.

👉🏻Treatment Options:
1. Rest and Activity Modification: Resting the foot and reducing high-impact activities can help to reduce inflammation. Lower-impact sports such as swimming or cycling are good alternatives while recovering.
2. Ice Therapy: Applying ice to the affected area can help reduce swelling and numb the pain.
3. Orthotics and Footwear Adjustments: Custom orthotics or insoles can provide better arch support and reduce stress on the accessory navicular.
4. Advanced Therapies: Shockwave therapy can help to reduce pain and inflammation and accelerate recovery.
5. Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises can strengthen tendons and the arch, improve endurance and promote healing.

What is a Jones Fracture?

🎯 A Jones fracture is a break at the base of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot, located on the outer side, just below the little toe. It is a common injury and can happen due to:

1⃣ Twisting the foot
2⃣ Ankle sprains
3⃣ Repetitive stress (especially in athletes)

🎯 Causes:

✅ Sudden inversion injury (rolling the ankle)
✅ Overuse or stress in athletes or runners
✅ Falls or direct trauma to the side of the foot

🎯 Signs and Symptoms:

✅ Pain and swelling on the outer edge of the foot
✅ Difficulty walking or bearing weight
✅ Bruising or tenderness around the area
✅ Pain that worsens with activity

⏭️Medical Treatment

👨‍⚕️ The doctor may recommend:
☑️ Rest and protection of the foot
☑️ Immobilization with a boot or cast (typically 6–8 weeks)
☑️ Non-weight bearing or limited weight-bearing using crutches
☑️ Pain medications and anti-inflammatories
☑️ Surgical fixation (in some cases, especially in athletes or if healing is slow)

❓Physiotherapy Management

A physiotherapist plays an important role in rehabilitation during and after immobilization. The main goals are to:

🛌 During Immobilization:

✔️ Education on crutch use and safe mobility
✔️ Maintain fitness through non-weight-bearing exercises
✔️ Circulation exercises to reduce swelling
✔️ Prevent joint stiffness in the hip and knee

🚶 After Immobilization (Boot/Cast Off):

✔️ Gradual weight-bearing training
✔️ Manual therapy to restore foot and ankle mobility
✔️ Strengthening exercises for the foot, ankle, and lower limb
✔️ Balance and proprioception training
✔️ Gait retraining (walking normally again)
✔️ Return to sport or work guidance and progressive loading

‼️Tips for Recovery

✅ Follow your doctor and physiotherapist’s advice
✅ Avoid high-impact activities until cleared
✅ Wear supportive footwear
✅ Do prescribed exercises daily
✅ Attend follow-up appointments

🏥 Physiotherapy Can Help You:

✔ Regain strength and mobility
