Low Back Pain: How it Happens, and What to Do About It

Being inactive and sedentary, is not a natural thing for us to do as our bodies are made to move. This can lead to increased tension/tightness, reduced strength, endurance and activity in the muscles that stabilise our spine and posture. On the other hand, if we have a labour-intensive job which includes heavy and/or repetitive work, we can overload our back muscles. If we don’t allow these muscles to rest and recover, then this can be a potential cause of LBP. LBP is quite interesting in the way that it is not totally a physical problem. High stress and anxiety levels can greatly impact on our pain levels. By relaxing and reducing stress, we can directly reduce our pain. It may be tempting to just rest and recover during an LBP episode, but it is crucial that you try to remain active and return to movement slowly. This will reduce stiffness and relieve muscle spasms.

ACL Ruptures: How it Happens and What You Can Do

Any sport or activity that requires fast direction changes, jumping, landing, cutting, twisting, starting and stopping has a potential for ACL injuries. These injuries typically happen when your knee goes into a hyperextended position or excessively rotated position for example when it buckles inwards during landing. After an ACL injury there are two treatment options: high quality rehabilitation alone or ACL reconstruction surgery together with high quality rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is similar for both options of treatment and lasts for about 6-9 months.
