The ankle and knee are quite common joints to injure during sporting activities and many of us will have experienced twisting an ankle very easily whether in the home or just outdoors when walking.
This type of twisting injury will normally involve damage to the ligaments around the ankle and knee.
If the injury is not too severe then it will heal by itself and there will be no longstanding problems.
However, some people can continue to experience pain and disability many months after the initial injury.

Neck and back pain are quite common in the general population.
It can result from age related changes in the spine, structural deformities, poor posture, overuse and from problems with the discs that can compress and irritate the nerves that exit the spine at each vertebral level.
Whiplash injuries can happen for example after a road traffic accident or a sporting injury.
Headaches can be caused by poor posture, tight muscles, and stiff joints.
In the acute stage rest, pain relief and a gradual return to normal activities maybe all that is required.

The shoulder joint is very flexible in a multitude of directions and relies heavily on the surrounding muscles to help maintain good function.
Like the neck and back the shoulder is another joint that commonly gets painful.
It can be related to poor posture, overuse (tendonitis) or because of a sporting injury.
Shoulder pain and poor function can be caused by arthritis.
Another common problem found in shoulders is a condition called adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder).
Your physiotherapist may use a combination of massage, mobility and strengthening exercises, electrotherapy, and acupuncture to help you get back the function you need to carry on with your daily and sporting activities.

The two most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
They both affect the joints of the body, but rheumatoid arthritis can be more aggressive and may need stronger medication to help control pain levels and inflammation.
Physiotherapy can help maintain strength and mobility of an arthritic joint and your physiotherapist will provide an exercise programme that is best suited to your needs and condition.
When the arthritis becomes chronic the muscles and other connective tissues can become very tight.

Injury to the soft tissues of the body can affect anyone.
The most common tissues damaged are the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia (connective tissue).
These structures can be injured during sport, overuse activities such as gardening, decorating and falling over.
Sustained postures such as desk work and long-distance driving can place the body under stress, and this may cause long term tension in these soft tissue structures.
Your physiotherapist will carry out a thorough assessment to find which muscle and structures are causing the problem or have been damaged after injury.
