Our views for this article: Drawing in,” also known as, transverse abdominis (TVA) activation is often the first cue given by a Physiotherapist when guiding an patient through an exercise or movement pattern. “Bracing” is an alternative approach to lumbar stabilization involving an isometric contraction of both deep and superficial trunk musculature. This article provides evidence […]
Purpose : This review aims to identify, through an analysis of literature, what are the rehabilitation and reconditioning processes for post meniscectomy sport. To propose some theoretical tools of scientific reflection to enhance the clinical / rehabilitative aspects of personalization of post-meniscal recovery program in relation to the joint environment and the femoral-tibial compressive forces. […]
Your goal is to strengthen the intrinsics muscles of foot. The question is which exercise is best? This study closely observed all muscle activation of the abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, abductor digiti minimi, quadratus plantae, flexor digiti minimi, adductor hallucis oblique, flexor hallucis brevis, and interossei and lumbricals with the short foot, toe spreading, […]
Why this study relevant? Many of the reviewed ACL rehabilitation protocols recommended treatment modalities that current research doesn’t support. it is very important That a high variability in content and time scales of rehab components existed, which can be confusing to both patients and therapists. BACKGROUND: Many orthopedic protocols following ACL reconstruction exist, however they […]
We know that we have 3 systems that keep us upright against the gravitational plane: 1) The visual system 2) The vestibular system 3) The proprioceptive system. As we grow, we seem to become more dependent upon the visual system to maintain stability of the head. Older people seem to be less stable than younger ones, […]
Musculoskeletal disorders continue to be a global challenge, with neck pain being the most recurrent problem affecting 203 million people in 2020 (1). Physiotherapy for neck rehabilitation has predominantly emphasized movement restoration through manual therapy and Range of Motion (ROM) exercises. Perhaps an overemphasis on pain management without adequately addressing the physical impairments is the […]
Due to the wide range of shoulder instability symptoms, it is crucial to comprehend a number of variables that will affect the rehabilitation process. This will enable us to tailor rehabilitation regimens for shoulder instability and speed up healing. While creating my rehabilitation programs for nonoperative shoulder instability rehabilitation, I take into account six important […]
Clinical comentry: Different sports place different demands on the knee. Achieving quad symmetry (greater than 90%) as well as waiting for 9 months has a significant reduction in the risk of re-injury. Clearly there is something to do with natural healing of the graft and tunneled bone. However, allowing time without strengthening adequately also has […]

For years, our industry has heard about the link between weak glutes and Low Back Pain (LBP). As a result, glute strengthening has become the go-to approach for low back pain rehabilitation. To fully comprehend this, let us first review the functional anatomy of the glutes: The gluteals are composed of three major muscles: Gluteus […]

At some point in our careers, we have all given the exercise prescription of 3 sets of 10. But why do we always default to this brainless, no good evidence, an arbitrary number of sets and reps? Simple, because we are lazy and its a simple enough number to remember. Some people will argue that […]
How long does it take for Achilles tendinopathy to heal? – Proactive Physio Knowledge
As always, the response is dependent. For many people with Achilles tendinopathy, it can take 3 to 6 months to observe improvement, and full pain relief can occasionally take longer than a year. Some people however see quick recovery within 3 months (Silbernagel et al. 2007). In fact, only 65% of participants in a Silbernagel […]
