Have you ever twisted your ankle? Women face ankle sprains more frequently than men, influenced by hormonal factors, different footwear choices (like heels), and potentially a broader pelvic structure.

Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) is also more common in females, often stemming from a lack of pre-injury strength, joint proprioception, and muscle activation. This can lead to a cycle of recurrent ankle sprains.

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role during the acute, subacute, and recovery phases, helping to restore full function and prevent future injuries.

Dry needling and acupuncture are often confused. They are distinct therapies with unique foundations.

Dry needling has a western medicine basis, where the principles of neurophysiology and neurochemistry explain it's effectiveness.

In contrast, acupuncture is grounded in the ancient practices of Chinese Medicine, focusing on meridian lines and Chi points to restore balance.

Shoulder blade movement and its positioning on your ribcage are crucial for maintaining healthy and functional shoulder activity.

At Physiotherapy for Women, we often see winging shoulder blades in women experiencing shoulder and mid-back pain. This may be a sign of muscle weakness, causing the inner edge of the blade to lift away from the thorax.

Our skilled physiotherapists will assess specific muscle weaknesses and tailor exercises to enhance your shoulder strength and function.

Unlock the full potential of your deep core abdominal muscles before diving into your workouts! Proper core activation is key. It’s not just about sucking in your tummy, which often leads to superficial muscle engagement. To effectively manage back pain, pelvic joint discomfort, hip issues, and boost overall trunk strength, mastering deep core activation is essential.
