Lower Back Pain & Exercise
Low Back Pain is a huge burden on the community. The impacts are felt in the healthcare system, lost days at work & obviously the psychosocial impacts on the sufferer. But what are the different types of back pain & does exercise help?
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Thoracic outlet syndrome, commonly abbreviated to TOS, may very well be one of the most difficult and controversial diagnosis in clinical medicine.
The goal of this Blog is to breakdown this condition and to better understand what we as musculoskeletal type practitioners can do to provide the best care for patients presenting with possible symptoms of TOS. Whether that be assessing the condition, providing hands on or exercise based treatment or even knowing when best to refer on a patient that may need further investigation or even surgical intervention.

Taping for Postural Correction
Taping a clients back is a common tool used at the clinic for postural correction to hold the body in the perfect anatomical position and to create awareness of slouching during day to day living. A huge majority of our cases we see of lower and upper back pain is essentially self inflicted through bad habits of poor posture and can easily be improved to prevent any future and long-term injuries.
