Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome / Gluteal Tendinopathy

Historically, pain localised to the outside of the thigh was hypothesised to be caused by inflammation of the trochanteric bursae. However, research has shown that the trochanteric bursae is rarely inflamed on imaging in patients with pain localised to the outside of the thigh (Connell et al. 2003).

Avoiding Running Injuries

As you start exercising, it is common to go too hard too soon, which increases the risk of injury. These have typically been called ‘overload’ injuries, whereas it’s more likely that your tissues (muscles, tendons and bones) are under prepared for the spike in exercise. Therefore, we monitor ‘workload’ to help minimise injury risk and safely achieve your exercise goal.

Cerebral Palsy: Unlocking Potential

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a movement disorder which appears in early childhood. Signs and symptoms vary among people and over time, but include poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles, and tremors. There may be problems with sensation, vision, hearing, and speaking.

Understanding Vertigo and Its Common Form, BPPV

Vertigo is often described as a sensation where either you or your surroundings seem to be moving without any actual motion. A specific type called positional vertigo occurs when head movements relative to gravity cause this sensation. One prevalent type of positional vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), a disorder stemming from the inner ear leading to repeated episodes of vertigo.
