What role does physiotherapy play in enhancing connective tissue mobility for MPS patients?

Recent research sheds light on the significant impact of physiotherapy on patients suffering from myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in the cervical region. In 2012, the study led by Başak Acar and Oznur Tunca Yılmaz, explored how electrotherapy and exercise influence pain intensity and connective tissue mobility in these patients. The study involved 60 patients, randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group received … Continue reading What role does physiotherapy play in enhancing connective tissue mobility for MPS patients?

Centeralisation phenomena: the complete guide to understanding the most popular finding during orthopaedic physical examination

Introduction The increasing reduction and elimination of distal pain in response to therapeutic loading procedures is referred to as centralization. During the decrease of a derangement, centralization occurs. This blog provides a full discussion of the phenomenon as well as an overview of its features. Definition Centralisation is the process by which the distal pain coming from the spine is gradually eliminated from distal to … Continue reading Centeralisation phenomena: the complete guide to understanding the most popular finding during orthopaedic physical examination

Can unsupervised protocols match the therapeutic impact of supervised programs for cervical pain?

In 2019, a study conducted by Juliusz Huber and Przemysław Lisiński, researchers aimed to assess the initial effects of supervised versus unsupervised rehabilitation protocols in patients presenting with myofascial pain syndrome, disk-root conflict, and degenerative spine disease at the cervical level. The study involved three distinct groups of patients, each comprising 60 individuals with confirmed diagnoses of myofascial pain syndrome, disk-root conflict, or degenerative spine … Continue reading Can unsupervised protocols match the therapeutic impact of supervised programs for cervical pain?

The issue with neck pain: prevelance and natural history

The history of neck pain is explained in this blog. The distribution, natural history, and clinical course of a disease are all factors that contemporary clinical epidemiology considers. We present a quick summary of these dimensions in relation to neck pain. Let’s discuss prevalence: Compared to lumbar back pain, the epidemiology of neck pain in the adult population has received less attention, although there is … Continue reading The issue with neck pain: prevelance and natural history

What is neurodynamics? The very minimum you should understand.

Since the 1970s, when these procedures were first introduced, the treatment of neural tissue has remained a common component of diagnostics and treatment in manual physiotherapy (Elvey 1979; Butler 1991, 2000; Shacklock 1995, 2005; Hall & Elvey 1999). Theoretically, neurodynamics is just another name for neural mobilisation or neural mobilisation combined with certain additional neurosciences, according to some therapists. Moving neural tissues is just one … Continue reading What is neurodynamics? The very minimum you should understand.
