Persistent “shin splints”? 🦵

What feels like muscle pain could actually be a stress fracture - small cracks in the bone caused by repetitive stress.

Early warning signs can include localized tenderness, pain at rest, or discomfort that doesn’t improve with usual recovery. Common sites include the tibia, metatarsals, and femoral neck.

Rest alone isn’t enough. Correcting training errors, addressing biomechanical issues, and early imaging are key to safe recovery.

Repetitive wrist pain isn’t just from sports or typing! ✋

Everyday activities that involve repeated motions can strain your muscles, tendons, and nerves - sometimes leading to conditions like De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, tendon overuse injuries, or early carpal tunnel symptoms.

Watch for persistent pain, swelling, tingling, or loss of grip strength. Improper ergonomics, poor technique, or overuse can all contribute.
Prevention and recovery focus on targeted strengthening, stretching, load management, and ergonomic adjustments.

Did you know your foot mechanics can affect your knees, hips, and even your back? 🦶➡️🦵➡️🦴

The body works as a connected chain - misalignment in one area can create strain elsewhere.

Flat feet, for example, may cause your knees to rotate internally, which can lead to hip or lower back discomfort.

Rather than treating pain in isolation, consider a whole-body approach to prevent injuries and improve movement.

Are your joints unusually flexible? 🤸‍♀️

Being naturally hypermobile isn’t always an advantage. Extra joint range can strain muscles and ligaments, sometimes causing sprains, clicking, or instability.

Strength and control are key to protecting hypermobile joints while physiotherapy can help improve stability, reduce injury risk, and keep you moving safely.

Pain when lifting your arm? 🫱
Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff tears can both cause discomfort with overhead movement — but they’re not the same.

Impingement involves compression of the rotator cuff tendons, while a tear means actual tendon damage — often from wear and tear or sudden injury.

Recognising the difference helps guide proper management and prevent worsening of the condition.

Experiencing pain on the outside of your knee? 🦵
It might not be a knee joint problem at all.

Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is a common cause of lateral knee pain, especially among runners and cyclists. It’s often linked to friction and tension along the IT band — influenced by hip muscle imbalances and biomechanics.

Understanding the true source of pain is key to lasting relief.
Learn how targeted strengthening, flexibility work, and proper load management can help prevent recurrence.

Keep twisting your ankle? 😣
Repeated ankle sprains can weaken the ligaments and balance sensors that stabilise your ankle - a condition known as chronic ankle instability.

If left untreated, this can affect your balance, mobility, and increase your risk of future injuries.

Learn how to recognise the signs and rebuild ankle stability. Contact Dr Ananda at 97720527 for a deeper assessment of your orthopaedic needs.
