🦵 Struggling with Jumper’s Knee? Chiropractic Can Help. 🦵

Jumper’s knee, or patellar tendinitis, is a common overuse injury that affects athletes involved in jumping sports like basketball, volleyball, and track. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain and performance limitations.

At our clinic, we take a comprehensive biomechanical approach to treating jumper’s knee. Chiropractic care can help by:

✅ Improving knee joint alignment
✅ Reducing inflammation and muscle tension
✅ Enhancing hip, ankle, and core stability
✅ Promoting faster recovery through targeted adjustments and rehab exercises

By restoring proper movement patterns and reducing strain on the patellar tendon, chiropractic treatment not only helps alleviate pain—but also prevents recurrence.

🏊‍♀️ Love swimming but feeling a little sore? 🏊‍♂️

Swimming is amazing for your body — low impact, full-body movement, and easy on the joints. But even the best swimmers can run into aches and pains. Shoulder twinges? Neck stiffness? That nagging lower back tightness after laps?

These are common signs of swimmer’s shoulder, overuse injuries, or core/muscle imbalances — especially if your technique is slightly off or you're increasing your swim time.

💡 Expert tip: Don’t ignore the small stuff! Early attention = quicker recovery and less chance of long-term damage.

Our physiotherapists are trained to assess your movement, identify the root cause, and guide you back to pain-free swimming — whether you’re training for a triathlon or just doing laps for fun!

✅ Injury assessment
✅ Hands-on treatment
✅ Custom rehab exercises
✅ Technique advice to help you stay injury-free

3. When yawning, try to keep you tongue on the roof of your mouth;
4. Avoid clicking your jaw intentionally;
5. Cut your food into bite sized pieces, like steak, burgers, apples, etc.

Shovelling Tips!!!

If you have to tackle the snow that has fallen during the blizzard here are a few tips for shovelling :

1. Warm up your muscles - before you even venture outside do some light stretching and movement to warm up your muscles for the work that is ahead of you.

2. Pace yourself - you know your body best! You do not want to overexert yourself, take breaks and rest when required.

3. Lift with your legs, not your back - Make sure you bend your knees and use the muscles in your legs not your back when shovelling. If you can push the snow instead of lifting the snow, that is the best option!

4. Don’t overload your shovel - make sure you only load your shovel with an amount you are capable of lifting. If the load is too heavy, you will increase the risk of injury.

5. Stay hydrated - take breaks and drink water so that you remain hydrated while shoveling.

Safe shovelling everyone!!!
