Physiotherapists play a crucial role in this process, aiding the identification, early management, rehabilitation, and safe return to sport for individuals that have sustained a concussion.  

“I have been experiencing pain in my heel when I first wake up in the morning. The pain lasts for the first few steps in the morning and by the time I make it to the kitchen it’s gone. I also noticed that when I start moving after a period of prolonged sitting the pain comes back. What is happening, and why does my heel hurt after not doing anything?”

Question: I have recently been experiencing pain in the side of my hip since starting to exercise more again. I can’t lie on either side at night and it hurts when I try to run or stand for too long, or if I try to hold my 2-year-old son on my hip. It even hurts after resting when I get up from sitting at my desk for long periods of time. My Doctor says I have ‘Trochanteric Bursitis’ - how do I fix it?

“Recently, I have been having difficulty lifting my arm above my head due to both pain and weakness. This particularly makes my job as a painter difficult as majority of my work is done overhead.

I don’t remember any incident that would have triggered the shoulder pain.” Read on for the answer from our very own Physiotherapist, Olivia Yin.
