25.01.2022 This is why we have a kneecap! #Repost @rehabscience with @make_repost ... The patella (kneecap) serves a very important function - It makes your quadriceps muscles more effective due to its important function as a sesamoid bone. In fact, the patella makes the quads approximately 30% more powerful! - The tendon of the quadriceps muscles crosses over the knee joint, attaching on the leg just under the front of the knee. When the muscle contracts, it rotates the knee into extension by pulling up on the lower leg. - Because the patella lies between the tendon and knee, it positions the tendon farther away from the point of rotation. This distance imparts a major mechanical advantage (the farther away from the center of rotation, the less force/effort needed to lift). - Pain associated with the joint behind the patella (patellofemoral joint) is quite common and can often be successfully treated with hip and knee training and a bit of behavior modification. If you pain in this region, make sure to checkout my kneecap pain posts at the hashtag below. . #RehabScienceKnee See more

20.01.2022 Running events may not be running at the moment... but not much stops runners from running! Common lower limb injuries in runners: - Achilles tendinopathy - Medial knee joint pain (cartilage) - ITB syndrome... - Gluteal tendinopathy - 4th and 5th metatarsal pain - Tibial Stress fractures/reactions - Plantarfasciopathy - Patella Tendinopathy - proximal hamstring Tendinopathy - Compartment syndrome Common reasons runners get injured: - poor joint range of motion - running mechanics - muscle imbalances - fatigue - excessive loads (speed, plyometrics, hills, running volume, running surfaces) - recent change to training load or type of training - poor footwear Physio can help assess and manage these issues and keep you out there doing what you love!

19.01.2022 Chronic pain and Illness: Measure your progress not always by the symptoms themselves, but by how quickly you bounce back from a flare up or how long it has been since the last flare up! Often you feel like youre back to square one, but often we dont realise the progress we have made!Chronic pain and Illness: Measure your progress not always by the symptoms themselves, but by how quickly you bounce back from a flare up or how long it has been since the last flare up!
