  • Is dry needling effective for the management of plantar heel pain or plantar fasciitis

    Is dry needling effective for the management of plantar heel pain or plantar fasciitis Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a piece of strong, thick tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It connects the heel bone to the toes, creating the arch of the foot. Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain and can develop as a result of overstretching overuse, or a medical condition. Plantar fasciitis is often associated with a heel spur, a spike of bone poking out from the heel bone, although many people have heel spurs without any pain. Moderate to low evidence suggests a positive effect of TrP dry needling for improving pain intensity and pain-related disability in patients with plantar heel pain of musculoskeletal origin in the short- and long-term, respectively.

  • Do you find that your general willingness to do things is different with chronic low back pain ?

    Do you find that your general willingness to do things is different with chronic low back pain ? Sense of effort is an important but rarely researched aspect of proprioception. We developed a novel force-matching paradigm for back muscles to test the sense of effort. Sense of effort is affected in people with low back pain. People with low back pain overestimate the trunk extension force they generate. Patients match forces accurately when the sense of effort deficit can be compensated.

  • How muscle strength activities could reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, Diabetes and mortality

    How muscle strength activities could reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, Diabetes and mortality Current epidemiologic evidence suggests that engagement in muscle-strengthening activities over 1–2 sessions (or approximately 60–150 min) per week was associated with -reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (seven studies; approximately 20%–25% reduction), -type 2 diabetes (four studies; approximately 30% reduction), -cancer mortality (four studies; approximately 15%–20% reduction) -as well as all-cause mortality (six studies; approximately 20%–25% reduction). For diabetes, the risk appears to lower further with even higher levels of muscle-strengthening activities. But some studies for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality suggest a reversal whereby higher levels (≥2.5 h/week) have less benefit, or are even harmful, relative to lower levels of activity. The likely mechanisms contributing to a benefit include improvement in body composition, lipid profile, insulin resistance and inflammation. The evidence supports engaging in 1–2 sessions (up to 2.5 h) per week, preferably performed complementary to the recommended levels of aerobic MVPA.

  • Dry Needling or Kinesio Taping in muscle treatment ?

    Dry Needling or Kinesio Taping in muscle treatment ? A 2022 study looked into the upper trapezius muscle and whether it would respond better to dry needling or Kinesio taping Muscle disorders are one of the main causes of pain, one in three patients have myofascial pain syndrome ( this is when trigger points develop in the skeletal muscles) We develop trigger points thanks to our sedentary lifestyle, as we spend most of our time in a static posture, in fact, research has shown that we sit for more than Half our day ( it should be less than 6 hours total) The trapezius muscles function is - stabilise the scapula - move the scapula - rotate the scapula and extend the neck The trapezius, when trigger points are present, can refer pain to - pain on the side of the neck - pain on the back of the neck - pain behind the ear - pain in your temples A major reason that people develop trap problems is a forward head posture The results were great for either option Both dry needling and Kinesio taping increased pressure pain threshold AND reduced muscle thickness We have been helping our community for over 10+ years with their muscle and spinal problems.

    Poor Posture? You probably have breathing problems too- Here’s what the research says The link with POOR posture and Breathing problems I talk about it all the time, poor posture and bad lifestyle choices can have negative affects on the body Research looked into if you had forward head posture, whether it could lead to respiratory dysfunction So what is exactly forward head posture Well one of the first lifestyle habits i ask my patients is how long are you spending on the devices, as its recommended that it be a max of 30 minutes a day - i usually get a response of laughs or big shock eyes as most are clearly spending WAY more than 30 minutes a day on devices So becuase of this and other lifestyle choices like the way we sit, stand etc we can develop forward head posture Bad neck posture consist of hyperextend ion of the upper cervical vertebrae and forward translation of the cervical vertebrae - causing loading on the tissues like the facet joints and ligaments Some signs and symptoms you have forward head posture are neck pain Headache TMJ (temporomandibular pain) Musculoskeletal The results found that the forward head posture caused EXPANSION of the upper thorax and CONTRACTION of the lower thorax - these changes cased a DECREASE in respiratory function These findings suggest that the shape of the thorax changed and respiration decreased with forward head posture relative to a neutral head position - the person didn’t necessarily have to have neck pain to have the breathing dysfunction We have been helping our community for over 10+ years with their muscle and spinal problems.
