Dong-Kyu Lee and colleagues conducted a study on traditional curl- up and curl-up with neck flexion restriction. Their studies found that traditional curl-up exercise significantly increased the activity of SCM (sternocleido mastoid), whereas, curl-up with neck flexion restriction considerably reduced activation of SCM. So regular curl-up exercise will over activate the SCM and as we […]

One of the first exercises typically implemented towards the beginning of ACL rehabilitation is quad sets. A progression of this exercise is to place an ankle weight on the patient’s ankle to provide increased resistance upon VMO contraction, making the task more difficult.

The question “Is it Time to Normalise Scapular Dyskinesis?” is posed in a recent study (Salahm 2023). The evidence that “abnormal” scapular mobility may result in shoulder discomfort is examined in a comprehensive review. It makes me think of a study by McQuade from a few years ago titled “Critical and Theoretical Perspective on Scapular […]
Blog In this video you will understand about how much do we need to emphasis on upper fiber of trapezius. So, it’s about understanding the muscles work together. Let’s not make one muscle is the culprit. The bottom line is unless you’ve had a nerve injury, there is not one muscle that will be totally […]
What tools do you provide your patients to manage stress, whether it’s caused by their injuries or psychological factors? Have you ever wondered whether you could do more with patients who are lying on a heat pack (or other modality) at the start or finish of treatment? ⇒ Can we do more in 15 minutes? […]
We hear it all the time…”Keep your shoulders back! Stand straight! Posture has become an ever present issue within healthcare circles but why exactly is posture so important? As renowned Doctor of Science Vladimir Janda explains, “Human movement and function requires a balance of muscle length and strength between opposing muscles surrounding a joint.” Poor […]
Presenting patients with widespread pain? Do you know someone who is stiff and doesn’t know where to begin? When Exercise don’t work out, that’s irritating, right? When your patients just can’t seem to get into standard exercises, it’s a frequent difficulty. Nobody has time for a dozen remedial exercises that might or might not work, […]
Our comprehension of the human body’s mechanics is on the brink of a revolutionary transformation. The traditional model, which posits that we have 600 muscles functioning through tendons over separate ligaments that restrict joint movement, has long been our best explanation. However, this model is now outdated, obsolete, and grossly inadequate. All these elements are […]
What does inhibited mean? The neural input to a muscle is lowered .The muscle still works but it’s not as efficient to generate power. To generate power during movement. Therefore it appears weak!! The body finds balance to complete movement task but unfortunately it finds another way for muscle in the movement pattern to do […]
Blog There are variety of assesment tool can be used to evaluate core stability. A multidirectional approach is recommended utilizing tests for muscle recruitment,endurance,neuromuscular control. Core stability must be trained in progressive manner. . Enhancing core stability through exercise is common to musculoskeletal injury prevention programs. Definitive evidence demonstrating an association between core instability and injury […]

Recent studies have suggested that patients opting for physical therapy have demonstrated high satisfaction, an improvement in function, and success in avoiding surgery. It has been observed in patients whose repairs fail after surgical repair, that reported satisfaction levels and clinical outcome scores are similar to those with intact repairs. The authors of this study suggest […]
