Have you ever been going about your day, and suddenly you notice a pain somewhere for seemingly no reason? Have you wondered why when you touch something hot, you feel pain even if you don't burn yourself?

Pain manifests itself in a lot of different ways, sometimes without making any sense at all... until now!!

Our blog post outlines how weird the notion of 'pain' really is, why some people feel more pain than others over the same incident, and all without having to understand neurotransmitters, or other fancy science speak!

Pain is complicated, and is actually an output. How pain works depends on many factors. This is Pain Science!

You may have been struggling with pain and dysfunction from knee osteoarthritis and/or other knee injuries for years prior to being put on a list for a total knee replacement (or total knee arthroplasty), when suddenly a pandemic occurred which slowed the world to a halt.

There may be other reasons why your knee replacement has been cancelled or postponed. Maybe your health is not where it needs to be to undergo surgery. Or maybe you even had second thoughts about the surgery all together.
Now the question is… What the heck are you going to do for your knee instead?

Luckily for you, there are some simple tips and tricks that can help you manage pain and function, and possibly even set yourself up for BETTER success after your surgery… or even avoid surgery altogether.

I’m sure you’ve heard of rehab (short for rehabilitation – in our case, physical rehabilitation), but have you heard of prehab (short for prehabilitation)?

Prehab is a great way to make sure your knee is optimized for surgery, and help you bounce back faster.

Check out our new blogpost for more details!

Knee replacement postponed? Do these exercises in the meantime. Videos and exercises to help until your surgery.

Have you ever experienced a nagging injury that just doesn’t seem to go away? Have you completed rehab (physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, massage therapy etc.) but still find that injury bothers you months or even years later? If you’ve experienced this, you’re not alone!
Many people go through and complete rehab to fix an injury, only to find their pain or injury returns later!
What gives? Today, we’ll discuss why this happens, and what you can do differently to fix your injury for good!
Check out our blog post!

People usually attend rehab to fix a pain or injury that has been impacting their life. All too often rehab is finished once their pain settles and is no longer an inconvenience to their life, rather than when they are fully better.

As you know from our blog post on rotator cuff surgery, we used to work alongside a shoulder surgeon. What we didn’t mention is that we actually worked with two surgeons! The second surgeon specialized in hip and knee surgeries.

This also translated to significant experience treating post-operative knee replacements, hip replacements, ligament reconstructions, knee scopes, and meniscus repairs. This blog post will cover the last two: knee scopes and meniscus repairs.

In this blog we try and clarify the ins and outs of a knee scope/meniscus repair. There’s LOTS to know, and if you’re going to go through any surgery, it’s nice to feel prepared!

In short, this is what the research says: do not have a knee scope surgery for degenerative knee/meniscus changes. Do physiotherapy instead.
