Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a condition where your shoulder becomes stiff, painful and difficult to move. It happens when the tissues around your shoulder joint become thick and tight, making movement difficult.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can occur when the muscles and tendons that help your shoulder move become irritated or injured. This can cause pain when lifting your arm, reaching overhead or during certain activities. It can arise from overuse, an injury, repetitive overhead movements, or simply from normal wear and tear over time. With targeted rehabilitation, we can help you recover from this injury.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when the nerves or blood vessels between your neck and shoulder become compressed. This can cause pain, numbness, tingling or weakness in your shoulder, arm or hand. It can be caused by poor posture, injuries or repetitive movements. Specialized rehabilitation can relieve the compression and pain and restore your function.
Tennis/
Golfer's Elbow
Golfer's elbow is pain on the inside of your elbow, where the tendons attach to the bone. It's usually caused by overuse of the muscles that help you grip, twist or bend your arm. You don't have to golf to get it – any activity that intensively uses these movements can cause it.
Tennis elbow is similar, but affects the outside of the elbow. It's caused by overuse of the muscles that extend your wrist and fingers. You don't have to play tennis to get it – it can occur with any repeated arm movement. With rehabilitation, we can relieve the pain and promote recovery.
Post-operative Rehabilitation
Some injuries require surgery (such as an elbow, wrist or shoulder fracture, a torn muscle tendon or nerve damage). Rehabilitation in preparation for and after surgery is of utmost importance to restore your functions and activities.
Groin Pain
Sports groin pain refers to discomfort or injuries in the groin area, which often occur in athletes requiring sudden movements, such as soccer, hockey or running. This pain is often the result of overuse or strain of the muscles, tendons or ligaments in the groin area. Appropriate rehabilitation is important for symptom relief, tissue recovery and tissue load capacity to prevent recurring injuries.
Muscle Injury
Muscle injuries are common in sports and daily activities, especially during running, jumping or sudden changes in direction. They usually affect large muscles such as the hamstrings (back of thigh), quadriceps (front of thigh), calf muscles or groin muscles. Early treatment and a good rehabilitation program are important to ensure full recovery and prevent further injuries.
Tendon Injury
Lower limb tendon injuries occur when the strong bands that connect muscles to bones – called tendons – become irritated, inflamed or torn. Common places for these injuries are the Achilles tendon (at the back of the ankle), patellar tendon (below the kneecap), hamstring tendons (at the back of the thigh) and plantar fascia (under the foot). Tendon injuries can take a long time to heal, so it's important to start treatment early and follow a rehabilitation program for full recovery.
Meniscus Injury
The meniscus is a piece of cartilage in your knee that acts as a cushion between the bones. A meniscus injury occurs when this cartilage tears, often during activities that require twisting, turning or suddenly stopping – as in sports – or during heavy lifting. In many cases, a meniscus injury requires surgery. Starting rehabilitation early helps prevent further damage and promotes healing when the meniscus does not require surgery. Post-operative rehabilitation is essential to restore all functions and be active again.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most important ligaments in your knee that keeps your knee stable. An ACL injury usually occurs during sports where you must stop abruptly, change direction or jump, such as soccer, basketball or skiing. A torn ACL is usually surgically repaired. An ACL injury is serious – with or without surgery – but with proper treatment and rehabilitation, many people can resume their favorite activities.
Ankle Sprain
A lateral ankle sprain occurs when you turn or twist your ankle inward, causing the ligaments on the outside of your ankle to stretch or tear. It's one of the most common injuries, especially during sports, running or simply stepping awkwardly. With early and targeted rehabilitation, we can promote full recovery and resume your activities.
Syndesmosis Injury
A syndesmosis injury occurs when the strong ligaments that hold the two bones in the lower leg (the tibia and fibula) together are stretched or torn. This injury is less common than a lateral ankle sprain, but is often overlooked as an ankle sprain, but can be more serious. Syndesmosis injuries often take longer to heal than lateral ankle sprains, but with proper rehabilitation, most people recover fully.
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome
Medial tibial stress syndrome, or "shin splints", causes pain along the inner edge of the shinbone (the tibia). It's common in runners, dancers or anyone who suddenly increases movement. With relative, guided rest, load management and targeted rehabilitation, most people recover fully and can resume their usual activities without pain.
Achilles Tendon Rupture
An Achilles tendon rupture occurs when the large tendon at the back of your ankle – which connects your calf muscles to your heel bone – tears. This often happens during sports where you must start, stop or jump abruptly, such as basketball or tennis. With proper treatment and comprehensive rehabilitation, many people recover fully.
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc occurs when one of the soft cushions (discs) between the bones in your spine bulges or tears. This can press on nearby nerves and cause pain, numbness or weakness, usually in the back, legs, neck or arms. 95% of people recover through gradual rehabilitation to completely pain-free functioning.
Neck Pain
Neck pain often occurs without a clear cause, such as an injury, fracture or disease. It's very common and is often related to muscle fatigue, poor posture during repeated stress or repetitive strain. Neck pain can be relieved with many targeted rehabilitation methods.
Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is very common and is usually not caused by a serious problem. It's often caused by muscle fatigue, poor posture during repeated stress or overload. Most cases of lower back pain disappear within a short time, and rehabilitation works well to relieve the pain and prevent recurring back pain in the long term.
Spondylolysis – Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolysis is a small stress fracture in one of the bones in the lower back. If the bone shifts out of place through the fracture, this is called spondylolisthesis. This condition often occurs in young athletes, especially in sports that require a lot of bending and twisting, such as gymnastics, football or weightlifting. In some cases, surgical intervention is needed, but most people recover well with targeted and gradual rehabilitation.
Lumbopelvic Dysfunction
Lumbopelvic dysfunction means there is a problem with the cooperation between the lower back (lumbar spine) and the pelvis. It can cause pain, stiffness or an unstable feeling in the lower back, hips or pelvis. It's often caused by muscle imbalances, stiff joints or a disrupted movement pattern. With proper rehabilitation treatment and exercises, most people can resume their normal activities.
Post-operative Rehabilitation
Sometimes, when neck, back or pelvic complaints do not improve with rest, therapy or other treatments, surgery may be needed. Surgery is usually only recommended if the pain is severe, daily activities are limited or nerves are compressed. With proper rehabilitation after surgery, most people recover and can resume their activities.
Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord, often caused by trauma or disease. This injury can lead to loss of sensation and/or movement below the injury. The severity and location of the injury determine which functions are affected. Rehabilitation after a spinal cord injury is about more than just physical recovery. Education is essential to help patients regain control of their lives and improve their quality of life. With proper support and educational resources, patients can adapt to their new situation and lead a meaningful, independent life.
