Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It is the
fastest growing neurological condition. This progressive neurological condition is characterised by both motor (movement) and non-motor symptoms.
Lateral epicondalgia is more commonly known as tennis elbow. It is pain that typically occurs on the outside (lateral part) of the elbow. It is usually caused by repetitive movement or overuse of the forearm muscles that control the wrist, particularly extension.
With winter sports on the horizon, and many pre-seasons having already started, the incidence of sports related concussion presenting to physiotherapists, doctors and hospitals increase given the uptake of more contact sports. Non-contact sports are not exempt from concussions either, so it is vital to know and monitor the signs and symptoms of a concussion.
Whiplash associated disorder (WAD) is a type of neck injury that occurs when the head is forcefully moved back and forth on the neck, commonly during a motor vehicle accident. This may cause injury to the muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints of the neck; and can result in pain, dizziness and other symptoms that range from mild to severe.
What are the benefits of pelvic floor strengthening exercises for reducing stress urinary incontinence?
Lower limb stress fractures are common injuries, especially among athletes engaged in high-impact activities.
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).
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 (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.
