If you sit all day, poor posture adds up fast.

Neck stiffness, limited hip mobility, and tight hips and thighs are common with prolonged sitting. This routine focuses on restoring movement where it’s lost to help improve posture, reduce stiffness, and support better mechanics throughout the day.

Rolling your foot for plantar fasciitis might feel good, but it doesn’t fix the root cause.

In most cases, plantar fasciitis isn’t just tight tissue, it’s a load tolerance problem. If the plantar fascia and calf can’t handle daily stress, pain keeps coming back.

That’s why progressive loading, like single-leg calf raises, matters. Strength improves tissue capacity and leads to long-term relief, not just temporary symptom relief.

Give it a try!

Elbow hurts? Not sure why?

Let’s break down some elbow pain locations and common injuries such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, bursitis, and more.

Back pain when bending forward is one of the most common questions we get in physiotherapy ...”why does this hurt?”

In most cases, it’s not because bending is bad, but because the spine isn’t tolerating load and lengthening well during movement.

Everyday activities like picking something up off the floor, tying your shoes, deadlifting, sitting for long periods, or even getting out of bed all place stress on the low back. When the core and supporting muscles can’t manage that demand, bending starts to feel painful.

That’s why back pain exercises shouldn’t focus only on stretching or avoiding movement. The goal is to improve how your spine handles load through strength and control, so bending becomes easier and less painful over time.

Give these exercises a try.

Our patient, an active gym-goer, was diagnosed with vertigo/BPPV, which was impacting his day-to-day life and performance at the gym.

What many people don’t realize is that vertigo is treatable with vestibular physiotherapy.

Vestibular rehab focuses on coordination between the eyes, inner ear, head, and body to improve balance and reduce dizziness.

These vertigo exercises help retrain movement control so you can return to daily and athletic activity.

Most people train their rotator cuff the wrong way - isolating one muscle and wondering why their shoulder still hurts.

The rotator cuff isn’t a single movement or a single muscle; it’s a compression system made up of four muscles that work synergistically to keep the humeral head centered as you lift, reach, press, and rotate. When these muscles don’t coordinate, the joint compensates with shoulder hiking, pinching, or scapular squeezing, which is why so many “rotator cuff exercises” fail.

In this video, we break down how the cuff actually works, why proper humeral rotation matters, and the exact drills that force clean mechanics so you can finally improve shoulder stability, strength, and pain.
