Here is a an excellent presentation of the Tendinopathy continuum that I wanted to share with you!
Low back pain is very common. Most of us will experience some form of back pain in our lifetime.
So is it always necessary to have an imaging like Xray, CT or MRI to work out the cause of the back pain?
Here are some of the downsides associated with back imaging that should be considered:
The patellar tendon is a strong thick tendon that sits below your kneecap at the front of the knee and is responsible for transferring load between the quadriceps muscle to the shin. These loads are passed through in activities such as stairs, running, jumping and landing. In some cases, loads that are placed through the patellar tendon can be excessive and increased too quickly and the tendon can begin to fail. Inflammatory and degenerate processes then commence and can lead to pain and disrepair.
Patellar tendinopathy (aka Jumper’s knee) commonly affects people involved in jumping sports such as basketball and volleyball. it usually presents in scenarios where the load is increased too quickly or excessively. For example, a sudden change in volume/load, or in frequency of training, or potentially after a rest/ off-season period and return to sport too quickly.
In everyone’s busy schedule between work, social, life and sleep, the hardest commitment is fitting exercise in to the busy equation!
So if you are struggling to fit a fitness routine into your weekly schedule, here are some handy tips for keeping active.
In addition to last week’s post about TFCC injuries in the wrist.
What are the suggested treatment options for the management of TFCC injuries?
Management of TFCC injuries is mainly determined by whether the distal radioulnar joint is stable. If instability is present the joint needs to be stabilised.
Conservative options for TFCC injury are mainly considered in presence of a stable distal radioulnar joint include:
