Foot and ankle pain can stem from a variety of different causes. The discomfort is commonly caused by injury to any of the ankle bones, ligaments, or tendons, as well as types of arthritis.

Common conditions that affect the ankle include:

Muscle strains, sprains, tears and spasms are some of the most common causes of acute and chronic neck pain. Neck muscles usually strain from poor postures, such as leaning or hunching over a computer or the phone.

Common conditions that affect the neck include:

Because of its extensive range of motion and flexibility, the shoulder is one of the most injured joints in the body. Elbows are also susceptible to pain due to their repeated use.

In a lifetime our feet carry the average person more than 100000 miles, they absorbs tons of force each day, much of it on a hard surface. Pain tends to be the greatest reason for needing Orthotics. The conditions that are commonly treated with biomechanical evaluation and Orthotics are:

Heel pain is a common problem in all ages. It presents with pain in your heel or the sole of your foot especially obvious when you put your foot to the ground in the morning. It is primarily caused by strain and inflammation in the plantar fascia, which is the ligamentous stucture that runs along your arch from, heel to the forefoot. There are a number of causes for this condition including abnormal alignment of your feet. Your expert physiotherapist will discuss with you the reasons and treatment options.

Your foot type is hereditary. Some people have flat feet which means that there arches are relaxed and low. In flat feet or otherwise known as pronated feet ,the feet roll inward as they go from heel strike the toe off. As a result it places abnormal stress and inflammation on a number of areas such as metatarsal, heels, tendons, bunions, knee, hip and low back. Proper corrective prescription orthotics can help to control this condition.

Bunions result from incorrect alignment of your foot resulting in abnormal strain at the 1st digit of the foot. The pressure on the 1st digit causes it to drifts to the side resulting in the deformity known as a bunion. Once a person has developed the bunion, it may be difficult to fit shoes and pressure from shoes may aggravate it. Orthotic may address the underlying reason for the bunion and decelerate its progression but they will not correct the bunion deformity once it is established. Orthotic will redistribute the weight away from the painful bunion causing an improvement in the persons pain.

Metartasarlgia is pain in the ball of the foot ,in the area just before the toes. It may develop in people with either the high rigid arched foot or the flat footed person. Pain may come the dropped metatarsal heads or the little nerves in between them causing a mortons neuroma. Accurate assessment of the alignment fault is essential to good orthotic prescription in conjunction with other treatments.

The Achilles tendon is the large tendon that connects your calf muscle to your heel. Pain and inflammation of the Achilles tendon may result from the abnormal pull on the tendon that may results in degeneration of the tendon and even rupture of the tendon.

Shin splints is a common injury that can affect any type of athlete. It is a characterized by pain over the shin from overloading the muscle of the lower limb. It is commonly seen in people with flat feet or overpronated as the muscles have to work harder to get the feet out of the flat position to repulse the body forward. People with high arches also experience shin pain from poor shock attention and tight calves. In both situations, orthotics can support the foot to reduce the workload on the shins.

A sprained ankle can occur during a landing or sudden sideways or twisting movement of the foot resulting in an injury of the ligament in the ankle. It is a common injury and more common in people who do not have normal alignment of their feet. It is important to correct any imbalances in the foot after injury to prevent repeat injury which is so common. Orthotic can improve the stability of the foot.

Research has shown that regular exercise can help lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, and improve overall health and fitness. Exercise can help improve blood pressure in several ways, including:

Not all types of exercise are created equal when it comes to managing high blood pressure. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week for adults. Some examples of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise include brisk walking, cycling, and swimming. Vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise includes activities like running, jumping rope, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Here are some of the best types of exercise for managing high blood pressure:

Aerobic exercise, also known as cardio, is any exercise that raises your heart rate and breathing rate. This type of exercise is excellent for managing high blood pressure because it helps strengthen the heart, improve blood flow, and aid in weight loss. Aerobic exercise includes walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, and dancing.

Resistance training, also known as strength training, involves using weights, resistance bands, or even your own body weight to build muscle. Resistance training is great for managing high blood pressure because it can help lower resting blood pressure, increase muscle strength, and aid in weight loss. Examples of resistance training exercises include squats, lunges, push-ups, and bicep curls.

A low-impact exercise combining physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation, yoga is brilliant for managing high blood pressure because it can help reduce stress levels, lower resting heart rate, and improve blood flow. Some yoga poses that are particularly beneficial for managing high blood pressure include the tree pose, bridge pose, and corpse pose.
