25.01.2022 When considering Total Knee Replacements, the WHY part is actually pretty easy. Theres lots of wear and tear, theres lots of arthritis and theres an immense amount of pain. The WHAT bit is actually pretty stock standard. The procedure is done well these days, and youll get generally good outcomes. The WHEN question is actually a harder question to answer. When should I get the knee replacement? How long should I wait until I consider Total Knee Replacement? ... The conventional wisdom is that you wait it out as long as possible. You wait until you cant bear the pain anymore, and then you go and see your surgeon and he does it for you. I have a problem with that particular piece of advice. Watch the video to find out more!

25.01.2022 One of the major obstacles to improving the upper back and neck pain that people often complain about, is getting their pillow right.

25.01.2022 One of the frustrating questions we often have to answer is: Are squats bad for your knees? This question often comes after somebody has been talking to their doctor or their trainer, or the butcher, maybe the mechanic, maybe even the guy down the street. Now obviously these people feel like they are authorities on the topic. And the advice given to them is that squats are bad for your knees. This couldnt be further from the truth.

24.01.2022 Despite the birthday cake, getting old is rarely a cause for celebration. At least physically. Nobody ever said I cant wait till Im 70. Many joints ache, your bladder never really feels empty, and a full uninterrupted nights sleep makes up the bulk of your birthday wishes. If you add stiff, grindy arthritic knees to that equation, its easy to see why you dont like to leave the house without being a little grumpy. So when Total Knee Replacements became a thing, its no wo...nder your eyes lit up like a 30 year old. Finally, a solution to the knee pain that wakes you up multiple times a night. So now that this is an option for you, and many others of the vintage disposition, lets take a deep dive and answer the three main considerations youll have to think about before going under the knife.

24.01.2022 Weve all either seen (and heard it happen), seen it on T.V, or had it happen to ourselves. Tearing an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in the knee is one of those injuries where you just know its bad. If youre an athlete, you can already see yourself sitting out the season, and if youre Jane Average, the shock and trauma of having it happen to you is a little unbelievable. The sound is like a gunshot going off, and the pain is sharp and knife like through the whole knee. Up until that point in time, its likely that you would not have experienced such pain. Nothing can prepare you, and nothing can be done then and there. YOURE OUT! Read more here on this shattering injury: https://www.sportsmedicineclinic.com.au/acl-rehab-done-rig/ SK

01.01.2022 Follow these tips for a properly executed squat. Yes, there may be slight variations based on your individual body, but dont let anybody fool you that there arent basic guidelines to a great squat. So, here they are.

01.01.2022 Contrary to popular belief, the squat (when done correctly) is not a primarily knee loading movement. It is a predominantly HIP DRIVE movement. Its Hip Centric and promotes Hip Drive. So if your squats cause you knee pain, its because you have failed to load the hips properly and are placing too much emphasis on the knee.
