23.01.2022 Are you doing your workout in the gym correctly? This is a great video posted by Jude (a Personal Trainer & Nutritionist) for checking your form on common exercises seen in the gym.

23.01.2022 Bulgarian squat is one of the best exercise to train the gluts and quadriceps muscles. Heres why: -it strengthens your hip and knee in a functional position. Imagine sprinting, landing on one foot after a serve tennis, going for a lay up in basketball -focuses on single leg workout: improves balance and emphasises the workout on the working leg -improves neuromuscular hip and knee coordination/alignment (making sure the hip, knee and foot are in a straight line)... Video 1 shows you the correct technique on how to do the exercise. Video 2 shows you variations of the bulgarian squat to further challenge your core. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv0iTzHe9OE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QxjRlUd6qQ

19.01.2022 DOES MY SHOULDER PAIN ACTUALLY COME FROM THE SHOULDER OR SOMEWHERE ELSE?? Not all shoulder pain actually comes from the joint itself. Sometimes theres the possibilities of referral from the neck and thoracic spine. Other times, our visceral structures such as the diaphragm, lungs, heart, oesophagus, stomach, liver, spleen and pancreas can also refer pain to the shoulder. The visceral-referred typed of pain often are described as vague, poorly localised, deep and it is not af...fected by the position or activity of the shoulder. It is because the nerve cross over the same area in the spinal cord. In a case study, a 49yo woman who is recovering from a surgery for her gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), complained of shoulder pain while passing a bowel movement and easing after 2-3min.

18.01.2022 For those of you who suffers from tendon pain, it will be good to watch this video spoken by Prof. Jill Cook, who is one of the top researchers in tendon pathology. In this video she will be explaining the characteristic of a tendon and its function like a spring. Likewise, when we are experiencing tendon pain, one of the main factors is caused by doing too many high energy storing and release activities. For example, running, jumping, skipping, cutting and changing directions in sports are high energy activities. So one of the management in the rehabilitation is to reduce this kind of activities to a manageable level and then gradually increase it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKkSp-TlofI&t=33s

17.01.2022 Meniscus tear or rotator cuff tendon tear can be a normal wear and tear process of aging. If you had a scan which showed this above, do not rush into getting a surgery. Ask your surgeon if you would benefit from conservative treatments like strengthening rehabilitation or get a second opinion of if are unsure and do not forget to consult your physiotherapist who is highly trained in these areas.

09.01.2022 Do you have pain along the front of your shoulder? The pain is worse when you are cooled down and better when you are warmed up. Most likely you will have long head of biceps tendinopathy. In this video, you will be shown on how to feel for it and the 3 progression exercises to strengthen the tendon. By strengthening it will allow the tendon to adapt to the load that you are putting on it with your daily activities and then your pain should start to decrease. After performing... the exercises, mild pain/discomfort may be experienced and that is normal. Stop if the pain gets any worse. You should be able to do 10-15 reps 3 sets with a comfortable weight every 2nd day. Please note: pain over the front of the shoulder can be caused by other structures eg referral from the neck, shoulder labral tear... Make sure you see your Physiotherapist for a diagnosis. https://www.facebook.com/ThePrehabGuys/videos/1893925057298393/

08.01.2022 Knee surgery is not always the first option and should not be if you are experiencing chronic knee pain. I have seen some of my patients who fall into the trap of getting surgery because of their scans and surgeons advice. I would encourage my patients to ask their surgeon "Would surgery help my knee significantly compared to trialing conservative treatment first?" What a lot of knee sufferers do not realise is with rehab and strengthening the knee can often get better, stro...nger and no longer need surgery! The secret behind this is through strengthening the muscles around the knee and that will increase protection, control and cushion for the knee. Below is a video of a mans testimony who had 13 surgeries on his knee and none has helped his pain. Once he started physiotherapy his pain started getting better in a few weeks! Surgery should always be the last resort. Get your assessment with a physiotherapist today before making a decision to opt for surgery! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpqRngDEp_E

07.01.2022 Just completed a 2 day in depth specialised course on the pelvis and hip. Now excited to share my knowledge and help my patients to return back their daily function. :) Food for thought: 1) Have ever you wondered that the human body works like a kinetic chain? Namely, a lower back pain can be a combination results of dysfunctions around the thoracic joints, ribs, hips or pelvis. 2) Are you currently suffering from persistent pain and you have been seeing a health practition...er but cannot shake the injury off or return to your sports? Have you been managed holistically? Perhaps you should ask if your health care practitioner have been listening to your issues and whether you have you been thoroughly assessed? See more
