Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a psychological treatment for long-term low back pain, worked very well, according to a new study. Here’s the main story: After one month of treatment, two-thirds of the people in the treatment group were almost pain-free. Most of these changes were still there a year later. This is a very good […]

Plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common foot condition treated by health care providers.This painful condition can cause impairment of activity and disability.Patients usually report pain after palpation of the proximal insertion of the plantar fascia and plantar medial heel, and the pain is most noticeable when patients begin walking after a period of inactivity.Clinicians […]
The author perspective during study: Ankle plantarflexion contractures are associated with an increase in knee extension during stance phase. However, some people with simulated ankle contractures may walk with an increase in knee flexion instead. Ankle plantarflexion contractures also adversely affect gait velocity, step length and cadence. How this study helps in your Clinical practice: […]

Spinal mobilization vs conventional physiotherapy in the management of chronic low back pain due to spinal disk degeneration: a randomized controlled trial Article in The Journal of manual & manipulative therapy · June 2016 DOI: 10.1080/10669817.2016.1184435 Randomised control trial : Level 1b Curious about the effects of a 5-week, once a week session of 10-minute […]
Numerous variables, including mobility, coordination, stability, balance, fitness, strength, and power, all have an impact on how we move. These factors combine in intricate ways to decide how you will move or hold yourself in a given situation. The majority of the time, social aspects go unconsidered. They are still underappreciated as a restriction on […]

Five paired (right and left) muscles and related fascias make up the abdominal musculature. The abdominal muscles help with mobility but are also crucial for safeguarding the abdominal viscera and putting pressure on the abdomen to make it easier to urinate, defecate, and give birth (childbirth). Internal obliques, external obliques, and transverse abdominis are three […]
Post operative status of knee joint, we quite oftenly see loos of terminal knee extension. We routinely approach for VMO strengthening and electrical stimulation to VMO, Exs. However, we do not get optimal result during gait cycle. Functioning/playing without full knee extension motion can cause problems not only at the knee joint but also up […]

Proper scapulothoracic motion is necessary for the health and function of shoulder and it is principal focus in the rehabilitation setting. Various types of push ups are used frequently during shoulder rehab as a closed kinematic chain exercise. David and colleagues conducted a study to examine the effect of different shoulder position on scapular kinematics […]
Return to sports decisions (RTP) should be made collaboratively with the team physician, rehabilitation staff, and the athlete. Physical exam findings should be consistent with pre-injury levels of pain, ROM, stability, strength, and overall function. The athlete should demonstrate adequate:Power.Muscular endurance. Sport-specific demands. Return to sports should be step-wise and the athlete should be carefully […]
