Condition of the Month: Rotator Cuff Syndrome

The shoulder is a relatively unstable ball and socket joint. It is stabilized by the rotator cuff, a group of four small muscles that wrap around the shoulder. Rotator cuff syndrome is a vague term used to describe the collection of injuries that can occur to the rotator cuff.

Condition of the Month: Runner's Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)

As the weather warms up, people are beginning to come out of hibernation and become more active. More kids are running around and playing sports, and more people are walking or jogging outside. As a result, there is a high incidence of "runner's knee" or patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). It is one of the most common conditions that physiotherapists see in their practice.
