Lower Back Pain is an issue most of us can associate with!
Most acute low back pain results from injury to the muscles, ligaments, joints, or discs. The body also reacts to injury by mobilising an inflammatory healing response. While inflammation sounds minor, it can cause severe pain.
​
It is important to get lower back pain assessed so the cause can be identified and the appropriate treatment can be provided.
​
Massage and stretching can help alleviate tightness and other symptoms, and rehabilitation can help improve strength and posture in order to help prevent further issues.
LOWER
BACK
PAIN
Shoulder injuries are frequently caused by sporting activity that include more excessive and repetitive overhead movements such as in swimming, tennis and weightlifting. Injuries can also occur during day to day activities such as cleaning and gardening for example.
Pain and lack of mobility can be caused by muscle and ligament strains as well as dislocations and bony abnormalities. However the most common cause of shoulder injuries is due to the rotator cuff.
​
Shoulder injuries should be assessed so that the appropriate treatment plan can be advised.

SHOULDER
INJURIES
The knee is one of the most commonly injured structures in your body, and has a high injury incidence rate in contact sports such as football and rugby.
Your knee is a complex joint with many components, making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries. Some of the most common knee injuries include fractures, dislocations, sprains, and ligament tears.
Many knee injuries can be successfully treated with simple measures, such as bracing and rehabilitation exercises. Other more serious injuries however may require surgery to correct.
KNEE
INJURIES
HIP
INJURIES
Hip pain usually has a slower onset than other structures such as the knee and ankle. For example labral tears and osteoarthritis are commonly diagnosed in older athletes that were most active during their 20s and 30s.
​
Another common cause of hip pain can be tightness or a strain of the hip flexors. These are a large group of muscles that control movement around the hip such as lifting your leg up or moving your trunk up when lay down.
​
As like all injuries it is important that your hip pain is assessed properly so that its cause can be identified. Mobilisations and rehabilitation exercises can help mobilise the joint and strengthen to protect from further injury,
ANKLE
INJURIES
Ankle sprains are the most common of all ankle injuries. These often occur when you badly 'roll' or evert your ankle. This excessive and unnatural movement can damage the ligaments on the outside of your ankle, which are called the Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL).
​
Damage to this ligament can be painful and cause swelling and bruising. It is important to RICE the injury and seek advice from a health care professional. Appropriate treatment and rehabilitation can help with the healing of the damaged ligaments and lead to successful recovery from your injury.
