Bar & Hertz Recovery

Your bones are continuously changing — new bone is made and old bone is broken down. When you're young, your body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone, and your bone mass increases. Most people reach their peak bone mass around age 30. After that, bone remodeling continues, but you lose slightly more bone mass than you gain.

These are the simple steps you can take to prevent or slow bone loss.

If you're concerned about your bone health or your risk factors for osteoporosis, including a recent bone fracture, consult professional advice.

Thanks to a collaboration with Asia & Medical AG, Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSW) machines and equipment is made available in Singapore to help countless number of patients suffering from chronic pain, even with people who are non-responsive to conventional physiotherapy.

Simply defined, tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or disease, and often causes swelling, pain, or irritation.

Tendinitis that affects the insertion of the tendon can occur at any time, even in patients who are not active.

Applying ESWT over the inflamed regions can activate the body’s natural healing process.

Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) is a common hip condition that causes pain over the outside of your thigh/buttock muscle.
The cause for these symptoms is usually due to an injury to the soft tissues that lie over the upper aspect of the thigh bone.

Most cases of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome resolve on their own within several weeks or months cold compressed, anti-inflammatory medicine, sufficient rest or physical therapy. However, the more severe condition may persist for up to one or two years.

ESWT or shockwave therapy can be one of the effective treatments that are non-invasive, non-medicated for GTPS.

Crashes happen. Here’s the right way to check in with your body and your bike when the inevitable occurs:
✅First make sure you don’t have any major injuries—before you even get off the ground. If all of your limbs are attached and intact, and you’re not seeing three bikes where there’s only one, move quickly to a safe spot off the road or out of the way of other riders and start assessing.
✅Slow down - take your time getting up and moving around. You don’t need to jump back on your bike as fast as possible—slow down and assess the damage to yourself and your bike before pedalling off.
✅Basic First Aid - Before anything else—even before you get up—check your body. Can you feel all of your limbs, are all bones still under your skin, and is there a lot of blood?
• Concussion: Checking to see if you bent or cracked your helmet is a quick way to assess whether you hit your head on a ride
• Follow-up: If there’s bruise or pain, it’s advisable to seek professional helps to ensure there is no serious fractures that could potentially lead to long-term effect on your body.

Spasticity is common after stroke, with the prevalence ranging from 30% to 80% of stroke survivors.

Poststroke spasticity (PSS) is a common complication associated with other signs and symptoms of the upper motor neuron syndrome, including agonist/antagonist co-contraction, weakness, and lack of coordination. Together, they result in impairments and functional problems that can predispose to costly complications

ESWT is known to be one of the effective treatments for stroke-related spasticity. Visit one of our partner clinics to find out if shockwave therapy is suitable for your treatment.

During a shockwave therapy treatment, powerful acoustic sound waves are generated using a precision ballistic mechanism in the handpiece which converts kinetic energy into sound energy.

These short pulses of shockwaves will reach the affected tissues that propagate faster than the speed of sound, creating microtrauma and activating an acute inflammatory response, which increases blood flow to help support the healing process.

As the result, patient can expect an almost immediate pain relief within the first two sessions. Regular shockwave treatments are required to ensure that deep tissue regeneration is sustained.

Sports injuries are common to athletes. You have probably heard or read about major athletes quitting their elite careers midway as a result of sustaining injuries.

Do take note of these 6 sports injuries which may potentially have a long-term effect on your life.

You have flatfeet when the arches on the inside of your feet are flattened, allowing the entire soles of your feet to touch the floor when you stand up.

A common and usually painless condition, flat feet can occur when the arches don't develop during childhood. In other cases, flat feet develop after an injury or from the simple wear-and-tear stresses of age.
Factors that can increase your risk of flatfeet include obesity, injury to your foot or ankle, rheumatoid arthritis, aging, diabetes.

Feeling pain, numbness, weakness, or tingling in your hands or the wrists? This could be carpal tunnel syndrome.

If left untreated, it could lead to weakness, lack of coordination, and permanent nerve damage.

Available treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome include medications and surgery, or you can also explore ESWT – shockwave therapy as a non-invasive treatment using powerful acoustic waves.

Knee and joint pain may be common complaints among runners, but chances are slim that arthritis is the culprit. In fact, multiple studies have shown that regular running strengthens the joints and actually protects against development of osteoarthritis later in life.

More common sources of pain or injury in runners’ knees are iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) and patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS)

However, orthopaedic specialists stressed that all athletes, including runners, pay attention to any pain they experience, and have it evaluated sooner rather than later. Addressing pain early can help prevent further injury and a more difficult recovery down the road.

The popularity of yoga continues to rise, and there are a lot of good reasons to roll out your mat.

At the same time, yoga isn’t without risk. Though with a lower risk of injury, a recent study suggests certain yoga poses, particularly those that involve extreme flexing or extending the spine, can lead to compression fractures in patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

These tips might be helpful to prevent any potential injury in your yoga journey.

I went on a "mission" islandwide to replenish my medical partners ultrasound gel when I received the email on a global recall of one widely used gel. I can't imagine how my partners will react when a few of the supplier has ran out of stock.

Ultrasound gel is a necessity when they are using extracorporeal shockwave technology (ESWT). It acts as a coupling gel between the transmitter and the body. This allows shockwaves to effectively break down any scar tissues thats causing chronic pain. ESWT activates your body's natural healing mechanism - reducing inflammation and increaing blood flow to the area of injuriy.

All my partners were surprised and pleased with this "rescue mission" I see this as a form of After- Sales service.

Working from home may be the new 'normal' for some but a poorly set-up home office/space can lead to various injuries such as neck pain and back pain.

Here are some useful tips to combat neck pain due to the poor posture:

1️⃣Posture - Keeping your head within your shoulders can help reduce the load on your neck and prevent strain.
2️⃣Keep moving It is generally safe to keep moving your neck within pain-free range of movement. Complete Neck immobilization is usually not recommended (unless you have a fracture). Several studies have shown that immobilization slows down the healing process and promotes chronic pain.
3️⃣Sound asleep - Having adequate support for your head during your night rest is essential to prevent a wry neck and stiffness in the mornings.
4️⃣Adopt a healthy lifestyle - – During the acute phase of any injury (first 72 hours), it can be useful to place an ice pack on the injured area to prevent any swelling and pain.
– Heat packs can be used after the initial acute phase, which can help reduce muscle spasms and joint stiffness.
5️⃣Gentle Stretching – Gentle stretches that do not cause pain may help alleviate neck tightness. Seek for professional advice if you experience pain with stretches.
6️⃣Neck treatment – Neck joint mobilizations/manipulations may assist to restore range of motion and cervical spinal decompression can assist in relieving numbness in the arms.

Do not delay treatment, as chronic pain and stiffness can often make your condition worsen and more challenging to treat. Physiotherapists can help identify the root of the problem and work to restore your range of motion, alleviate your pain, and bring back the confidence in you.

💊Pain medication not only masks your pain and symptoms but it can also create new problems for you in the long run.

It is evident in the studies that consuming painkillers in the long term such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin may come with unpleasant side effects, such as:
❌Drowsiness or confusion
❌Increased risk of organ damage (internal bleeding, stomach, or kidney issues)
❌Hormonal imbalances that may lead to weight gain
❌Respiratory issues
❌Depression or anxiety
❌Constipation

There are various pathways to overcoming chronic pain and one of those would be shockwave therapy.

Studies carried out by Scientists have also shown that shockwaves act in another unique way. By hyper-stimulating the nerve fibres, this blocks any escalation in pain stimulation and therefore strengthens the analgesic effect (also known as Gate Control Theory).

1️⃣Substance P, a growth factor and pain modulator, is one of the central messenger substances that is released. The release of such a drug has an analgesic effect while also enlarging blood vessels, stimulating blood circulation, and assisting in the creation of new bone tissue. In essence, we know that when shockwaves are used to treat a sore region, the healing process is accelerated.

2️⃣Shockwaves produce an anti-inflammatory response by blocking inflammatory mediators like Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX II), which reduces any inflammatory process. In a nutshell, it serves as a stimulant during the healing process.

3️⃣Shockwave therapies help to improve our endogenous cellular defence mechanisms to defend us from disease by committing to the release of free radicals. The signal and modulator modules in the body are critical for the activation of these cells.
