Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a condition characterized by stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It often develops gradually, and risk factors include underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, and a period of immobility, such as recovery from a surgery.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist's carpal tunnel, leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. It is often caused by repetitive hand movements, wrist anatomy, or conditions like arthritis.
Core Strengthening
This focuses on improving the strength and stability of the muscles in the torso area, particularly the back, abdominal, and gluteal muscles, which are essential for posture, balance, and overall movement. A strong core helps reduce the risk of injury, alleviates back pain, and enhances performance in daily activities and sports.
De Quervain Tenosynovitis
De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty with hand movements, especially gripping or twisting. It is often associated with repetitive thumb and wrist motions.
Elbow Pain in Little League Pitchers
Elbow pain in Little League pitchers, often referred to as Little League elbow, is an overuse injury caused by repetitive throwing motions that stress the growth plates in the elbow. This condition can result in pain, swelling, and reduced throwing ability. Rehabilitation focuses on rest, activity modification, physical therapy to improve arm strength and flexibility, and proper pitching mechanics to prevent further injury and ensure a safe return to play.
Epicondylosis (Lateral) With and Without Nerve Entrapment
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylosis, is a common painful condition that affects the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow. This condition can cause pain, stiffness, and weakness in the forearm and hand, sometimes accompanied by nerve compression symptoms like numbness or tingling.
Functional Rehabilitation
The functional rehabilitation program is focused on restoring strength, mobility, and coordination to help individuals return to daily activities, work, or sports after injury or illness. Functional rehabilitation emphasizes task-specific exercises, balance training, and movement patterns that mimic real-life activities to improve overall function. By combining physical therapy, strength training, and injury prevention strategies, functional rehabilitation helps patients regain independence and optimize performance.
Impingement Syndromes of the Shoulder
Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when the tendons or bursa in the shoulder become compressed or irritated, leading to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. It is often caused by repetitive overhead movements, inflammation, or structural abnormalities.
Shoulder Tendon and Muscle Injuries
Athletes and individuals who engage in repetitive overhead motions are at increased risk for shoulder tendon and muscle injuries. These injuries often involve the rotator cuff, biceps tendon, or other muscles around the shoulder joint, leading to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion.
Tendinopathy
Tendinopathy refers to the degeneration or inflammation of a tendon, often caused by overuse or repetitive strain. Also known as tendinitis, this condition can lead to pain, swelling, and reduced function in the affected area, commonly affecting the shoulder, elbow, and wrist.
