Neck Injuries
You are not alone. Back problems are very common. Up to 80% of the population will, at some point in their life, experience significant back and/or neck pain. At any given time between 20% and 50% of the population will be experiencing some type of back pain. Most do not find that the pain, while troublesome, does not significantly interfere with their normal activities of daily living (ADL’s)...

Shoulder Injuries
Rotator cuff tendonitis is a condition characterised by damage, inflammation and/or degeneration of one or more of the rotator cuff tendons. Four muscles, the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles form the rotator cuff. These muscles attach the shoulder blade (scapula) to the arm bone (humerus). As the arm is raised, the rotator cuff keeps the head of the humerus and the socket of the scapula moving properly together...

Elbow Pathologies
Tennis elbow is the common term used to describe pain occurring at the outside bump (lateral epicondyle) of the elbow. The muscles of the forearm that bend the wrist backwards have a common tendon attaching them to the lateral epicondyle. During contraction of the forearm extensors, tension is placed through the extensor tendon at its attachment to the lateral epicondyle. When this tension is excessive straining of the tendon occurs..

Wrist & Hand Injuries
The wrist is composed of eight (8) bones surrounded by a strong fibrous band that normally functions as a support for the joint. The space between the fibrous band and the wrist bones is called the carpal tunnel. The median nerve passes through this tunnel to supply the thumb, index and middle fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be caused by anything that creates swelling (e.g. pregnancy) or a change in the positions of the wrist structures (e.g. fracture or dislocation)...

Hip Injuries
The muscles at the inner aspect of your thigh are known as the adductor or groin muscles. These muscles originate from the pelvis and insert into the inner aspect of the thigh and lower leg bones. The groin muscles are responsible for stabilising the pelvis and moving the leg towards the midline of the body (adduction). They are particularly active during running (especially when changing direction) and kicking...

Knee Injuries
A ligament is a strong fibrous band that attaches bone to bone. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of four ligaments that stabilizes the knee. It runs from the back of the femur (thigh bone) to the front of the tibia (shin bone). The ACL plays a role in preventing excessive twisting, hyperextension, or forward movement of the tibia on the femur...

Foot & Ankle Injuries
The plantar fascia is a fibrous structure that runs the entire length of the bottom of the foot. It helps maintain the arch of the foot. Irritation results in a persistent pain located on the bottom and medial aspect of the heel (calcaneus) bone. The pain is usually most noticeable first thing in the morning, but eases with continued walking after about 5-10 minutes. It may also be more noticeable during the first few steps after sitting for an extended period of time...
