ACL RUPTURES in the AFLW

A recent study by Deakin University looking at AFLW players- found that females are 9 x more likely to rupture their ACL than males.

Researchers are hoping this leads to more ‘Female specific training’ to prevent these knee injuries

Pain in the back of your leg??
It may not be the hamstring...

Pain in the location of the hamstring can be wrongly diagnosed as a problem with the muscle when in fact it is referred pain from the lumbar spine.

At our clinic we have state-of-the-art digital hamstring muscle testing to assist us in diagnosis. Generally, if there has been no loss of strength, it is important to look further than the hamstring muscle as cause of pain, despite the location. One of the most likely causes is referral from the lumbar spine.

Further assessment of the lumbar spine and neural testing may confirm that the pain is from that region, rather than hamstring despite pain location, and appropriate and effective management can commence.

If you're having issues with your hamstring and no success with resolving it then perhaps it’s from your lumbar spine?
Get in touch today on 4929 2323 to organise an appointment so one of our expert physiotherapists can assist you.

Have you heard of “frozen shoulder”?

This is when the capsule develops adhesions and subsequently thickens and tightens around the shoulder joint making it painful and stiff. Its technical term is “adhesive capsulitis”.

Risk factors include:
- prolonged immobilisation of the shoulder (due to surgery, injury or stroke)
- diabetes
- over 65 years old
- female.

There usually isn’t one incident, it just starts being painful one day and develops from there. It doesn’t show up in X-ray or ultrasound scans, so it sometimes can be missed.

Get in touch with our team today on 4929 2323 if you're concerned about your shoulder. There are specific assessments we can do to see if you possibly have a frozen shoulder, and there are lots of treatment options to assist in your recovery.
