Common vestibular symptoms in the elderly include dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, unsteadiness, and increased risk of falls. Physiotherapists can help by conducting a thorough assessment to determine the underlying cause of these symptoms, such as vestibular dysfunction or age-related changes. They can then develop an individualized treatment plan that may include specific exercises and techniques aimed at improving balance, coordination, and overall vestibular function. Physiotherapists can also educate patients on appropriate strategies to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of falls, enhancing the overall quality of life for elderly individuals with vestibular issues.

⚽️ Common Soccer Injuries

• Sprained Ankle - Quick direction changes, collisions, or landing awkwardly can lead to ankle sprains.

• Knee Injuries - ACL tears, Meniscus tears, and Patellar Tendonitis from running, jumping, and pivoting

• Hamstring Strain - during sprinting, sudden stops, or kicks. Inadequate warm-up, muscle imbalances, and fatigue contribute to this injury.

• Groin Strain - The inner thigh muscles can get strained due to sudden movements or kicks. Lack of flexibility, poor warm-up, and inadequate conditioning contribute to this injury

• Shin Splints - cause pain along the shinbone (tibia) due to excessive stress on the muscles and connective tissues in the area. They often result from overuse, repetitive impact, or sudden increases in training intensity

Our expert physiotherapists can help you overcome soccer injuries and get back in the game stronger than ever. Contact us for more information! ⚽️💪

Prevention is key when it comes to Achilles pain. Here are some tips to help reduce your risk of developing this injury:

• Warm-up Properly: A proper warm-up routine can help prepare your muscles and tendons for the stress of running. This can include dynamic stretching, foam rolling, or a short jog.
• Stretch Regularly: Regular stretching of the calf muscles can help improve flexibility and reduce the risk of Achilles pain.
• Appropriate Footwear: Make sure you wear running shoes that fit properly and provide adequate support and cushioning.
• Gradual Progression: Increase your mileage and intensity gradually to allow your body time to adapt to the stress of running.
• Strengthening Exercises: Strengthening exercises for the calf muscles and Achilles tendon can help improve their resilience and reduce the risk of injury

Running is a popular form of exercise that provides many physical and mental health benefits. However, it can also be associated with certain injuries, one of which is Achilles tendon pain. 🏃🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏿‍♂️

Achilles pain refers to any discomfort or pain in the Achilles tendon, which runs down the back of the lower leg and attaches to the heel bone. Achilles pain can occur in two main areas: the mid-portion of the tendon or the insertion point at the heel bone. It is a common injury among runners, particularly those who train intensively or have recently increased their mileage.

If you're experiencing discomfort or pain in your Achilles tendon, our expert physiotherapists can provide targeted treatment and support.

Stay tuned for the next post we will give some tips for prevention of achilles tendon pain 🙂
