Introduction In the world of rehabilitation and fitness, innovation is key to unlocking new methods for faster and more effective recovery.

A shoulder dislocation typically occurs as an acute injury, where the head of the humerus (top of the upper arm bone) is forced out of the front (~95% of the time) or the back (~5%) of the shoulder joint due to a high force mechanism of injury. Following this injury, early relocation (by a medical professional) is critical to decrease the amount of structural damage as well as decrease any neurological implications. Due to the degree of trauma required required to cause the

This week we are discussing scientifically-backed and practical sleep tips for improving sleep quality. A lot of these tips may be obvious to most, but we all need a re-up of this information every now and again. Optimising your sleep environment, minimising the impact of stimulants and managing factors such as jetlag and stress are among the more well-known strategies. An often underutilized tool for improving sleep however is through sleep diaries. This allows us to be more

The term literacy is generally used to describe someone’s proficiency within a written language, although there are other types of literacy (i.e. “my parents are completely computer illiterate!”) that one might refer to. Physical Literacy can be defined as the “Confidence, competence, understanding and motivation to be physically active throughout the lifespan”. To successfully navigate life as human beings, we need to be comfortable moving in a number of different environmen

Less commonly seen in winter sports are injuries to the neck. Similar to lower back injuries, acute onset of pain in the neck may follow a long day of unaccustomed activity, an odd or unexpected movement, or even a night’s sleep on a different sleeping surface. As with lower back injuries, provided there are no neural signs such as weakness or numbness in the hands or arms, then these problems can be managed conservatively and should settle in a number of weeks.

As with any sports, there is the risk of acute muscle strains with skiing and snowboarding. Some of the common sights of muscle injury are: The hamstring: often when a ski becomes stuck and the body is flung forwards, placing excessive stress on the back of the thigh. The quadriceps: often caused by a fall when the knees are bent under and the body bent back, placing the front of the thigh under excessive stretch. The adductors: the two skis move away from each other causin

Idalis is a 46 year-old female university teacher who presented to us a year ago with a 4-year history of persistent lower back pain and neurological symptoms in the legs. The symptoms came on during a period of high stress, initially in the form of isolated back pain, which over the last year before seeing us progressed to a pins and needles sensation in the legs and numbness in the foot, which she reported feeling much worse when wearing more restrictive clothing (yoga tigh

Our last post discussed rotator cuff injuries. Due to the violent nature of skiing and snowboarding related falls, it is also not uncommon for us to see dislocations of the shoulder. A shoulder dislocation is where the head of the humerus (top of the arm bone), moves out of the normal confines of the shoulder joint socket (glenoid). The most common direction of dislocation is anterior (to the front), and the typical mechanism of injury is a combination of outwards rotation wi
