Physiotherapy

Director & Sports Physiotherapist, Frank Care, answers your question: “I have recently taken up running but want to make sure I do everything right with my recovery. What should I make sure I do? “

“I was playing footy the other day and I noticed I’m getting sharp pain along the inside/outside of my knee. I think it started when I changed direction chasing the ball. I think I may have twisted my knee while turning. Sometimes while I’m walking I feel my knee give way and sometimes when I try to bend it, it locks in place! What’s going on with my knee?”

“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 notice the pain is also worse at the end of the day and at night when sleeping on that side. What have I done? 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.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) refers to a multifactorial pathogenesis that leads to pain in and around the patella in the absence of other pathology. Historically, it has been referred to as anterior knee pain and is extremely common throughout the lifespan. Almost anyone can get it, but it particularly affects runners, cyclists, hikers, gym-goers, and office workers.
