To generate power, you need mobility. To have mobility, you need stability. Proximal stability feeds distal mobility. Instability signals the brain and nervous system to put the brakes on power output because it feels threatened. A lack of stability is a threat to your nervous system. When dysfunctional movement patterns exist, the brain will simply […]
Background and objective : TrP-DN plus proprioceptive/strengthening exercises experienced greater improvements in function and pain than those receiving the exercise program alone. Inclusive criteria : (1) age between 18 and 50 years, (2) history of at least one ankle sprain, (3) at least one episode of giving away in the previous 6 months, (4) ankle […]
What is Synergistic dominance ? It is a self-serving substitution system that allows us to carry on life even though parts of our structure . It may be slowly breaking down and decompensating. A typical synergistic pattern often exists in runners with a unilaterally tight/hypertonic iliopsoas that is reciprocally inhibiting the ipsilateral gluteus maximus. The […]
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 […]
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 […]

Blog Proactive Physio Knowledge Episode # 9 Rotator cuff related shoulder pain Rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP) is an over-arching term that encompasses a spectrum of shoulder conditions including; subacromial pain (impingement) syndrome, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and symptomatic partial and full thickness rotator cuff tears. For those diagnosed with RCRSP one aim of treatment […]

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 […]
Hamstring Strain : Mechanism, risk factors, rehabilitation and return to the sports
Why this studies are relevant? Hamstring injuries have long been the bane of athletes’ participation in sport among those who engage in sprinting and explosive movements, primarily because of both the high occurrence and recurrence rates. These injuries appear to create subsequent weakness at the muscle’s lengthened state, predisposing the athlete to further injury. Lengthened […]
