Achilles rupture

Through overuse or accident your achilles can tear or rupture.

Achilles tendinopathy

Achilles tendinopathy (sometimes called achilles tendonitis) is caused by repeated “micro injuries” to the achilles tendon that do not completely heal.

Ankle instability

Ankle instability is a condition whereby the ankle feels like it is constantly ‘giving way.’ Those suffering from the condition may experience pain, discomfort, tenderness and swelling.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the nerve that crosses the front of your wrist (the median nerve) is trapped causing pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand and arm.

Connective tissue disease

Connective tissue diseases usually present as a weakness or inflammation of the tissues. Many include an autoimmune reaction meaning your body’s normal defence system triggers an attack on the cells, tissues or joints causing pain and inflammation.

De Quervain's

De Quervain’s is a type of tendonitis that causes pain when you move your wrist and thumb, and usually a tender swelling at the base of your thumb.

Dupuytren's

Dupuytren’s disease occurs when scar-like tissue forms just beneath the skin of the fingers and the palm of the hand.

Heterotopic ossification

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a condition that involves the muscles becoming bruised and “ossifying” (turning into bone), which usually results in pain and a significant loss of movement.

Plantar fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of this tissue. This condition is often caused by an injury or over use such as excessive running, standing or walking.

Skier's Thumb

Skier’s thumb is a common injury sustained when falling on an outstretched hand, causing the ligament on the inside of the thumb to become stretched or torn.

Soft tissue

Soft tissues are the tendons, ligaments and muscles in your body that allow you mobility.

Tendonitis

The tissue that attaches muscles to a bone is called a tendon. Tendonitis is an inflammation of a tendon or the muscles around a tendon.

Tenosynovitis

Tenosynovitis occurs when a tendon is injured or irritated or the sheath is injured causing restricted movement pain and swelling.
