24.01.2022 WEIGHT BEARING LUNGE / WALL TEST FOR RESTRICTED DORSILFEXION Limited ankle dorsiflexion is a contributing factor in several orthopedic conditions such as patell...ofemoral pain syndrome, ACL tears and overpronation of the foot. A wall distance of 5 inches or 12,5cm is considered a normal range of motion. Just use one hand-width as a rule of thumb. If your patient feels an anterior pinching sensation, the limitation probably lies in the joint itself and mobilizations might help. Secondly, if the patient rather describes a tension posterioly soft tissue might be the cause of the problem and targeting the soleus might resolve the limiation. To assess progress using this technique a change of 1.9cm has been described as the smallest detectable change.

20.01.2022 If only chronic pain was as simple as 'slipped' discs or muscle 'imbalances'. Sometimes, especially in the case of ACUTE pain, the cause is indeed relatively si...mple - your toe hurts because you stubbed it, or your wrist hurts because you twisted it. As your body heals itself, the pain goes away. Simple, right? BUT, more often than not, particularly when it has persisted for a long time, pain cannot be explained in terms of simple biological processes. If you've had chronic low-back or knee pain for many months, or even years, "it's complicated" may not feel like an adequate explanation, but at least it's an honest one. If someone tries to give you a simplistic explanation for your persistent pain (especially if they're also trying to sell you a simple 'cure') be VERY skeptical. Decades of scientific research has shown us that chronic pain is influenced by a WIDE range of factors in addition to biological ones, including emotions, beliefs, expectations, past experiences and cultural narratives. Indeed, the LONGER pain persists, the LESS it tends to be associated with biological factors. That's why a multi-disciplinary approach combining physical AND psychological therapies is now considered the gold-standard evidence-based treatment for chronic pain. Don't get me wrong - it would be AMAZING if there was a simple biological explanation for your persistent pain that could be solved with a simple biological treatment. But, in the vast majority of cases, that just isn't the case and, the truth is, it's complicated. #chronicpain #persistentpain #painscience #painscienceeducation #pain #painfreeliving #painrevolution #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #exercisephysiology #chiropractic #osteopathy #psychology #psychologist

18.01.2022 Many pop-up testing clinics are located outdoors. If you need a COVID-19 test this summer, make sure you plan ahead to avoid heat-related illnesses. Stay hydr...ated, drink plenty of water & carry a water bottle. Keep cool try to avoid direct sun. Wear a hat and light weight breathable clothing. Protect yourself from the sun and ‘slip, slop, slap’ when outside. Have a plan know who to call if you need help, and follow your doctor’s advice if you have any medical conditions. Never leave babies, children or animals alone in a car. Seek medical assistance immediately if you, or someone you are with, shows any sign of heat exhaustion or heatstroke.

11.01.2022 "I made the impossible possible because I didn't give up." Ten years after promising herself she would step out in high heels for her formal, 18-year-old ...Mackenziee's dream came true last night. That unforgettable moment was much more than just a fashion statement for this determined teen. You see, Mackenziee was born with cerebral palsy and has spent most of her life in a wheelchair being warned that she may never walk at all. But with the support of her team at the Queensland Children's Hospital and countless hours of physiotherapy, Mackenziee has achieved her 'Wheels to Heels' goal - and we're so proud of her!
