Injuries and Their Corresponding Treatments
Physiotherapy deals with diagnosing and managing a person’s injury. It focuses on treating people with functional problems that interfere with their daily lives. This type of treatment is especially essential for Singaporeans. Lower body injuries rank fourth in the country’s top health issues, based on the latest National Sports Participation Survey by the Singapore Sports Council.

Physio & Sole Clinic helps its patients with the following injuries.

• Ankle Sprains

A typical sports injury, an ankle sprain happens when a person rolls, turns or twists their ankle awkwardly. Ligaments in the ankle area get stretched or even torn. Because ligaments are tissues responsible for supporting one’s ankle bones, injury to this area could cause pain and difficulty while walking. Physio & Sole Clinic helps ankle sprain patients using the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) method together with joint mobilisations, soft tissue release, taping and ultrasound therapy.

• Frozen Shoulder

An individual gets a frozen shoulder when tissues surrounding their shoulder joint get inflamed. It causes pain and restricted movement in the shoulder. There is no primary cause identified for this condition yet. The clinic treats a frozen shoulder through pain and anti-inflammatory medication. Physiotherapy sessions that include stretching and manual therapy are also done to improve the patient’s range of motion.

• Golfer’s Elbow

This injury often comes in two stages: inflammatory and degenerative. The inflammatory phase involves pain after a repetitive activity. It may go away with rest, but the pain often resurfaces after a while. The degenerative stage, on the other hand, happens when a person feels persistent pain during simple activities such as using their phone. To treat it, the clinic creates a custom programme to manage the patient’s elbow pain. It also uses strengthening exercises, ultrasound therapy, and massage to treat the affected area.

• ITB Friction Syndrome

This happens when there’s repetitive friction against the connective tissue that runs through the thigh and knee. A person may feel pain on their knee, which spreads up towards the hip or down the leg. The clinic treats this condition through soft tissue releases, ultrasound therapy and taping.

• Knee Osteoarthritis

This disorder happens due to gradual wear and tear of cartilage that cushions one’s bones. Bony spurs and cysts develop around the knee joint, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and even deformities in the knee. Physio & Sole Clinic helps Knee Osteoarthritis patients recover using manual therapy and a personalised strengthening program for the hips and lower limbs.

• Lower Back Pain

This is a general term for any pain coming from the lower back. Its root cause is determined by a full physical examination to identify if it’s a spine fracture or something else. The clinic treats lower back pain through any of the following: electrical stimulation, exercise programs, manual therapy and movement retraining.

Physiotherapy is a non-invasive way of treating injuries. It’s also backed by years of research. Physio & Sole clinic treats patients' injuries with physiotherapy and educates them about their condition to make sure they live an injury-free life.
