The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. These muscles keep the ball of the upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder. A rotator cuff injury can cause a dull ache in the shoulder that worsens at night.

Rotator cuff injuries are common and increase with age. These injuries may occur earlier in people who have jobs that require repeatedly performing overhead motions.

The pain and symptoms can include:
💪A dull ache deep in the shoulder.
💪Pain at night disturbing sleep
💪Difficulty brushing your hair or reaching behind your back.
💪Arm weakness.

Biokinetic stretches and exercises can improve flexibility and strength of the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint.

Jacky brilliantly demonstrates this simple, yet effective spinal stabilising exercise to strengthen her multifidus and lower back.

The multifidus is a key muscle in maintaining spinal balance and posture. Muscle weakness and atrophy of the multifidus is associated with chronic low back pain.

Retraining the spinal stabilising muscles is done in a series of steps. The 1st step is to isolate the muscle. The 2nd step is to co‐contract it in conjunction with the other muscles of the core and back. The final step is to co‐contract the entire back and core (connect simultaneously to the transversus abdominis & multifidus) with the larger superficial muscle during functional activities.

By incorporating multifidus muscle exercises into your exercise routine, you can help reduce back pain, improve back strength, stability, balance and overall mobility 💪🦵🏋️🤸

Snapping Hip Syndrome (SHS), also known as Coxa Saltans, is a condition that is characterized by a snapping sensation, and/or audible “snap” or “click” noise, in or around the hip when it is in motion.

There are various causes for SHS, which can be classified as external, internal, or intra-articular in origin. For most people this condition is simply an annoyance; however it may result in both pain and weakness affecting overall functional mobility.

Both external and internal SHS are rarely the result of a traumatic injury. Most often they result from overuse of the hip in a repetitive manner, repeatedly going into hip flexion and extension. This is commonly seen in activities such a running, dancing, kickboxing, and soccer.

Biokinetics plays a crucial role in the management of snapping hip syndrome, focusing on stretching, strengthening, and neuromuscular retraining to improve hip joint mechanics and reduce snapping. Specific exercises to target the hip flexors, hip abductors, hip external rotators, and core muscles to address muscle imbalances and improve hip stability.

Working hard on some shoulder rehab 💪💪💪 Kimanta is sorting her shoulder instability out like a boss! She's starting with some proper rotator cuff strengthening and is waxing it.

Some therapy for the therapist 😎

Well done Kimanta 🙏💪👏
Keep up the brilliant work and positive attitude 👌

Banded Y Fly is an isolation exercise that primarily targets the shoulders, specifically the upper trapezius and deltoids. By using a resistance band, you add constant tension throughout the movement, which can help improve shoulder stability and strength. The Y position also helps to engage the shoulders in a different plane of motion compared to typical fly exercises.

The most common type of hip arthritis is osteoarthritis, which is also called degenerative joint disease.

Osteoarthritis occurs when the joint surface cartilage (hyaline cartilage/ articular cartilage) becomes worn away leaving the raw bone beneath exposed. The cartilage normally serves as a “pad” or a bearing in the joint. When the cartilage wears away, the result is a roughed joint surface that causes pain and stiffness.

Osteoarthritis of the hip results in pain, stiffness, and joint deformity. The symptoms of osteoarthritis can affect a persons ability to walk, work, and enjoy life.

Hip osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that can takes months to years to appear. While it is not “curable,” it can be treatable using activity modifications, medications, and/or injections. If those interventions don’t work, hip replacement surgery can be an option to relieve the pain.

For most patients who have mild arthritis, pain can be managed with ice, rest, activity modifications, medications or joint injections.

Sciatica and lower back pain are similar in that they are both classifications of back pain, and they are sometimes confused for one another. This is due to an overlap in similar symptoms. However, lower back pain and sciatica are different.

Sciatic nerve pain is usually caused by a herniated disc, bone spur, or other skeletal issue. The pain itself is often described as shooting, searing pain all the way down the nerve. Some people also describe feelings of numbness, tingling, or burning along the nerve as well. Many also experience weakness in the affected leg or foot. Sciatica often comes on suddenly.

Lower back pain differs from sciatica in that it can be caused by any number of things, from minor accidents, poor sleep, or even moving too suddenly. It can be confused with sciatica because of the area where the pain happens to be focused – the lower back. Lower back pain usually occurs near the “beltline”, or just at the waist.

Biokinetics can help for both sciatica and low back pain through corrective postural exercises, stretches and guided therapeutic exercises that strengthen the lower back muscles and condition the spinal tissues and joints.

Bursitis is a painful swelling, usually around your joints. It’s common in the shoulders, elbows, knees and feet. You’re more likely to get it if you have a job or hobby that puts a lot of stress on your joints.

Repetitive motions like throwing, lifting heavy objects, running etc, commonly cause bursitis. Spending time in positions that put pressure on a specific part of your body (such as kneeling) can also cause bursitis.

It’s less common, but injuries and infections can cause bursitis, as well.

Treatment includes rest/avoiding repetitive movements that aggravate the joint, as well as biokinetic rehab to increase range of motion at the affected joint. Strengthening to increase stability of the joint and prevent improper joint mechanics is also crucial.

Scoliosis is a side-to-side curve of the spine. It's most often diagnosed after age 10 or in the early teen years. The spine can curve to either side and in different parts of the back.

Most scoliosis is mild. But some curves get worse as children grow. If the curve gets very bad, scoliosis can cause back pain and breathing problems. A bad curve of the spine can push on the lungs and make it hard to breathe.

Biokinetic strengthening and bracing are used to treat milder forms of scoliosis conservatively and avoid surgery.

Housemaid's knee - also known as prepatellar bursitis.

It is caused by inflammation of a small fluid-filled sac (the bursa) in front of the kneecap. It more commonly occurs in people who spend long periods of time kneeling.

The symptoms include:

🦵Knee pain and swelling around the knee
🦵Redness of the skin over the knee.
🦵A tender kneecap.
🦵Difficulty bending the knee and walking.

It is generally more common in males than in females. Its also more common in tradesmen who spend long periods of time kneeling like carpet fitters and roofers. Housemaid's knee in children is more likely to be caused by infection.

Infection is also a common cause of housemaid's knee in people whose immune systems are not working well - like those receiving chemotherapy treatment for cancer.

Treatment includes:
Resting the knee.
For kneeling, the use of a thick foam cushion or knee pads - these can help to prevent the condition from coming back.

🌟A biokineticist can help by teaching you some exercises if your knee joint is affected by a reduced range of movement and to strengthen the muscles around the knee.
