The IT band (ITB) is a dense, fibrous band of connective tissue that runs along the lateral thigh from the hip to the knee. It aids in lateral hip and knee stability, especially when loading or stepping through one leg (walking, running, talking stairs, jumping off one leg, etc).

ITB syndrome typically manifests as knee pain in the outside of the knee.

ITB band pain is common in many sporting activities that requires forceful leg works like running, cycling, volleyball, basketball, dancing, among many others.

Research suggests that affected individuals should incorporate exercises to strengthen the hip abductors or the outer glute muscles, and motor control exercises designed to prevent the affected limb from collapsing inwardly toward the other leg as this may cause discomfort in the region.

Check out some of the many exercises that Movement Recovery Physio incorporate to help you build a robust, pain free IT Band.

Knee pain can be bothersome, but doesn’t have to be complicated. Many times, applying the same principles to different "types" of knee pain can bring about positive and similar results.

Some common movement problems with knee pain are bending the knee with foot on the ground, straightening the knee to its full range, and receiving force or load while going up the stairs.

It is very common to see people with knee pain avoiding these movements. They walk with less knee flexion or bending, they go step on the stairs with only the non-painful leg, they avoid any squatting movements. In the long run, they avoid many functional movements and recreational activities.

In these cases, simple range of motion exercises, use of more hip dominant movements, and graded movement exposure of the lower leg motions, and pain science education are sufficient to get knee pain patients gain their confidence in moving more freely again.

If you are looking to get stellar care and undivided attention, we’re here to help.

Pain at the front of the knee has two common causes. Patellofemoral pain and patellar tendinopathy. Oftentimes they co-exist.

Patellofemoral pain (Runner's Knee) is pain that occurs on, under, or around the kneecap (patella), and is one of the most common complaints of knee pain. It is sometimes called "runner's knee” because it's more common in people who participate in sports that involve running and jumping

Patellar tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee) is a clinical diagnosis of pain and dysfunction in the patellar tendon. This tendon connects your kneecap (patella) to your shin bone (tibia). Jumper's knee weakens your tendon, and, if untreated, can lead to tears in your tendon.

For both diagnoses, focusing on things like quad strengthening, proper knee mobility around the joint, and gradual progression of exercises can produce excellent outcome.

Here we show sample exercises that can help to improve quadriceps and glute strength while also improving knee mobility, stability, and motor control.

Knee osteoarthritis has been long considered as caused by ”wear and tear” in the joint structures. It’s common belief that certain movements and activities can cause degenerative changes in joint structures.

But the truth is, osteoarthritis is caused more by inflammation than overuse of joints.

In fact, research shows that being sedentary causes a loss of volume of cartilage in the joints, while exercise and frequent movements can help the joints to be healthier by strengthening the soft tissues and bone, and producing synovial fluid to lubricate the joint.

Education and exercise are the main two interventions that are recommended for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Sometimes weight loss is also recommended.

Movement Recovery can help you recover from knee osteoarthritis pain and dysfunction.

Knee pain is very common and can be very frustrating. It can happen to anyone, from professional athletes, weekend warriors, office workers, and health workers, to stay-at-home parents. Sometimes it’s painful just walking up or down the stairs, for some it’s when getting up from a chair or walking. And for others, it may be pain with squats or running. Either way, it can start holding you back from doing what you enjoy, or carrying out daily tasks.

Fortunately, knee pain can be managed and you can return to activities that you love doing again in no time.

Let us show you some of the things we let our patients do to help them up and running again, kissing their knee pain goodbye!

As always, these are just sample movements we give to patients. We provide an individualized physiotherapy treatment program.

The knee is the joint that connects the bones of the upper and lower leg. It is needed for pretty much any form of movement – such as running, cycling or swimming. The knee is the body’s largest joint, and it has a fairly complex structure. This structure makes it possible for us to bend and straighten our knees, and to turn them slightly inward or outward.

Knee movement control is particularly important in ascending and descending activities like walking or running uphill and downhill, and even simple activities like going up and down the stairs. Lack of, or weak, motor control in the knee can lead to injury and pain in any of the structures in the knee – tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

Allow us to show you some of the exercises we have to help you train your knee motor control.

The knee joint is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body. It is constructed of 4 bones and an extensive network of ligaments and muscles. The joint is also bathed in synovial fluid which is contained inside the joint’s synovial membrane called the joint capsule.

To maintain good knee functions, it is important that the knee joint is constantly lubricated with synovial fluid. And this is best achieved through movements. Contrary to what most people believe that repetitive pressure in the knee can cause arthritis, challenging our knees through different movements and forces can make them more robust and
resilient.

We've compiled the movements that we have seen to be most helpful and most comfortable in helping and preventing knee injuries. And if you want to know more about how to boost resilience in your knees, as well as other joints in your body, we at Movement Recovery are ready to help.

The most important muscles of the shoulder that nobody sees!!!

These muscles have a pivotal role in overall shoulder health and function but they are also the most overlooked!

They are so important that all shoulder functions get better if you give them the TLC that they deserve. AND IF YOU DO THE EXERCISES RIGHT. Because most people do them wrong.

The rotator cuff muscles get the least love because they can’t be seen and are not bodybuilding muscles that add to size and bulk. But these muscles literally hold the shoulder joint in place and are active in virtually every movement of the shoulder.

So if you want to be smart about your training and want to make sure your shoulders stay healthy even up to old age, then you better start giving this muscle group some consistent love and attention.

And because we love you, here are the exercises that we believe would be helpful to most of you.

👌These exercises might be simple but they are effective and very helpful. They also give us diagnostic clues. So if you experience pain, discomfort, or difficulty performing these, then maybe it's about time we meet for a more thorough assessment. We take great pleasure in caring for you.

Do you want to know a secret?

Everyone in the industry accepts this as a fact but not everyone communicates this to the public.

So maybe it’s not really a secret anymore but more like common knowledge we don’t really tell you about.

Are you ready? This might change your whole recovery and fitness routines.
Here we go: The best way to stretch is not to stretch but to use muscle contractions

Let’s make it make sense.
If you want lasting changes and actual lengthening that happens long term, the better strategy is not to pull and tug on tight muscles. It is actually within the very nature of muscles to fight against stretch. Look up the stretch reflex if you don’t believe us.

The better strategy is to contract the tight muscles while moving them to end range or to contract the muscles that do the opposite movement of the tight muscles.

Don’t believe us? Try the three exercises we chose for you today.

They’re not just effective. They also save you time and save you from the agony of that burning and tearing sensation you get so much during the end range of aggressive stretches.

We’re here to help. So if you have problems with tightness, spasms, and lack of mobility, just send us a message and we’ll figure out how to best help solve your problems.
