GLUTEAL TENDINOPATHY

What is that uncomfortable, persistent bum/hip pain you are getting?

Gluteal tendinopathy can cause pain around the outer hip, glute areas, often noticed when walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side.

It could develop gradually and may be linked to muscle weakness, overuse, or hormonal changes such as those experienced during menopause.

Sports therapy treatments such as targeted soft tissue work, dry needling, and strength-based rehab could help reduce discomfort and support recovery.

Book a consultation at The Repair Room to assess your hip health and begin a tailored treatment plan.

Osteoarthritis – More Than “Wear and Tear”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint condition where cartilage breaks down, bones rub together, and surrounding muscles tighten. This can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility, most commonly in the knees, hips, hands, spine, and feet.

At The Repair Room, we help manage OA and maintain joint function using evidence-based, targeted treatments, often combined for the best outcomes:

💆‍♂️ Sports Massage – eases muscle tension and reduces joint stress
🪶 IASTM – improves soft tissue mobility and releases restrictions around the joint
🤲 Joint Mobilisations – restores movement and stimulates cartilage nutrition
💉 Dry Needling – relaxes overactive muscles and improves joint alignment
🎯 Sports Taping – supports joints, reduces strain, and improves movement patterns
🔥 Cupping Therapy – boosts circulation and eases stiffness
💡 Infrared Light Therapy – promotes tissue repair and reduces inflammation
🏋️‍♀️ Strength & Mobility Rehab – stabilises joints, improves movement, and slows progression

Combining these treatments can maximise pain relief, improve mobility, and support long-term joint health.

If you’re noticing stiffness, pain, or reduced mobility, book an assessment at The Repair Room and take control of your joint health today.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – What You Need to Know

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) happens when the median nerve in your wrist becomes compressed, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hand and fingers.

It’s often linked to repetitive wrist movements, prolonged computer use, or poor wrist positioning — but certain health conditions can make you more susceptible, including:

Diabetes – affects nerve health and tissue flexibility

Rheumatoid Arthritis – inflammation narrows the carpal tunnel

Hypothyroidism – fluid retention increases nerve pressure

Obesity – added tissue and inflammation reduce tunnel space

Other metabolic or inflammatory conditions such as gout or amyloidosis

Those most at risk include office workers, hairdressers, mechanics, musicians, and athletes in weightlifting, cycling, racket sports, and gymnastics — anyone performing repetitive gripping or wrist-loading movements.

At The Repair Room, we use targeted therapies to reduce pressure and restore function, including:
💉 Dry Needling
💆‍♂️ Sports Massage
🤲 Peripheral Mobilisations
🎯 Taping & Cupping Therapy
💡 Infrared Light Therapy

If you’re experiencing wrist pain, tingling, or hand weakness — don’t ignore it.
Early treatment is key.
📍 Book your assessment today with The Repair Room and start your recovery.
