Back pain doesn’t always start in your back. 😯 Surprisingly, it could be your hips, core, or even your ankles causing the problem. When these areas are weak or out of balance, your lower back compensates for the instability, often leading to chronic discomfort. Tight hip flexors can pull your pelvis forward, straining your lower back. Weak core muscles can force your spine to bear extra pressure. Even poor ankle mobility can affect how your body moves, leading to misalignment and back pain over time. At Pain-Free Lives, Dr. Aalai and his team go beyond treating symptoms. They get to the issue's root, addressing these imbalances with personalized, non-surgical treatments designed to bring lasting relief. 📍 Book your consultation today at Sports, Spine, and Regenerative Medicine - PainFreeLives Or Visit 745 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11230, and let’s correct the real cause of your back pain. #PainFreeLives #BackPainRelief #RootCauseOfPain #NonSurgicalTreatment #BrooklynPainRelief

👨💻Three SUPER SIMPLE adjustments you can make in your day to help with your knee pain. * featuring a special Milos guest 🐈 ✅ These modifications won’t solve your issue - you need a tailored program specific to your injury or pain. If you need any help with this shoot me a message. 📈 These changes aren’t going to be immediate pain relievers. BUT when done consistently and for longer periods of time the effect compounds. So stick with them! 1️⃣ Avoid being stagnant for hours: no joint likes to stay in the one position for long periods, particularly irritable ones. Get it moving! Small bends at your desk not pushing into pain can help loosen things up - try do it regularly. You can even try getting up for some water or a quick walk around the office. 2️⃣ Avoid excessive knee bend sitting: the more you bend your knee the joint spaces narrow, which is usually fine and not problematic. But if you have an irritable joint and you sit for hours with those spaces close together it can keep things a little more tender. Again, we’re in the compounding game here. By itself or not done often won’t do much. But be consistent with it. Besides it’s a super easy change. It’s worth adding it into your tool box. 3️⃣ Minimise how much you use your sore side on stairs: this is a massive one. Unlike the other positions, stairs inherently place significantly greater load through the joint. By performing these one at a time “good leg to heaven, bad leg to hell” you basically negate any need for your sore side to be involved in the movement. Yes it will take you longer, but eliminating a huge proportion of high joint force throughout the day (especially high volumes if you’re in offices) will absolutely compound over time. 👉 Remember these are SHORT-TERM adjustments to see if we can get you through the day more comfortably. You still need to address what’s causing the irritation and establish a plan to actually solve the issue - not run away from it. ** not applicable for patella tendinopathy/tendinitis as this presentation requires regular/progressive patella tendon loading. #kneepain #kneearthritis #kneeosteoarthritis #kneepainexercises

Ever felt a nagging pain or tightness that just won't go away? It might not be your muscles alone! Fascia, the web-like connective tissue that surrounds everything from muscles to organs, can also play a role. Fascia can get tight or restricted for various reasons, like overuse, injury, or even poor posture. When this happens, it can compress the nerves and arteries that run alongside it. Think of it like kinking a garden hose – the flow gets restricted! This compression on nerves can lead to discomfort, tingling, and even numbness. It can also restrict blood flow, causing muscle fatigue and tightness. The good news? Fascia can be helped! There are various techniques like self-massage, structured movement, and foam rolling that can help loosen restricted fascia and improve circulation. Manual therapists can also be a great resource for targeted treatments. If you're experiencing chronic pain or tightness, consider fascia as a possible culprit.

Elbow pain, from traumatic sprains to repetitive strain injuries, can be frustratingly debilitating and can make even simple tasks such as holding up a dish or a cup feel like a knife stabbing into your elbow. The early stage of a soft tissue injury is known as the acute phase of injury and is generally within the first 48 – 72 hours post injury. The key rehab goals in this period are to: 1. Reduce pain levels 2. Regain loss of function (ROM, strength) 3. Reduce muscle spasm/hypertonicity In this video, our physiotherapist Justin demonstrates a few exercises and stretches that can help with managing a painful elbow. Isometric exercises are exercises that involve a static contraction of a muscle without any movement. These exercises are pivotal during this period, as it not only helps maintain muscle mass/power, it also helps provide an analgesic effect as well for pain relief! Gentle stretches and self release of the injured muscle group can help downregulate muscle spasms, improve tissue extensibility, and reduce pain as well. It is especially important to not overdo it during the acute phase. Respect the time needed for the soft tissue to heal and focus on the basic rehab goals outlined above before progressing onto the next stage. Stay tuned for our next reel, where we will talk about what exercises you can start progressing into a sub-acute/chronic phase of an elbow injury. #acuteinjury #injurymanagement #elbowpain #elbowrehab #physiotherapy #sportsinjury #physicaltherapy
