🦎 Spinal Health 🦎
The thoracic spine is the more funky name for your “mid back”😎
Its the part of your spine where your ribs attach - to protect your vital organs like your heart and lungs. The large number of ribs attaching here, can often limit the mobility in your thoracic spine, causing restrictions.
•
•
•
The problem is: this may then overload other vertebrae, as these other vertebrae need to do 1) their own functions + 2) the functions of those that are restricted!
= a common example that causes low back pain
= the biomechanical load in your low back is too high, because of restrictions elsewhere, causing pain.

Why are we so successful in treating back pain? Because we approach the body as a whole, which means we will be able to find these restrictions and improve the range of motion in those that need it.

‼️ ATTENTION: if you are not on the list, I shall NOT treat you ‼️
We are known to help with a variety of issues, because we are loud and proud general practitioners - because we tend to look at the body as a whole: not just a knee or a neck. However, some like to specialise in one or more areas because of a growth of their interest.

Surprise surprise: I am one of those! I’m basically publicly confessing that… I’m a nerd 🤓

🏀 Basketball is one of the main sports I absolutely love - as I have been playing basketball myself, since I was 5 years old. This could imply, that I could be more aware of the aches and pains players are presenting with and how to manage them.
•
•
•
Is there 1 area on that list that I prefer above the rest? Not particularly, but that may change over the years. Which is the beauty of our profession🤞(so ask me again when I’m 30 🎂)

🏃‍♀️Here’s something you knee-d to know: running is NOT bad for your knees!🏃‍♂️
•
•

“Most people get knee pain when running, so running is bad” 🏃‍♀️
Unfortunately, that’s not really correct🥺 Running isn’t bad at all, instead, it helps with a range of things all throughout the body, as any form of exercise does. Running isn’t an exception.
“But even young, fit and healthy people get it!”
The reason why running often causes pain is, because there is mostly an underlying issue causing you these pains. This is often mechanical, reversible and preventable.
Let’s give you an example: the main function of having the arch in our foot is to help shock absorption. If this arch is hardly there, then more shock will go through the knees and hips, causing you pain when striking your heel on the floor.
Another reason may be because you have a weakness in your glutes, failing to pull your knee in the most optimal position for it to function painless.
These are basic examples of “running mechanics” which needs to be on point, before starting intensive training.
I have quite a lot of compassion with knees… a majority of people hate them but they’re often not the cause!!! 🥺
I hope this may change your gossip about them🥰
Thank me later
