Thumb arthritis, also known as basal thumb arthritis, can quickly make you realize how much you need your thumbs for daily activities.

Thumb arthritis sometimes called basal joint arthritis is a condition characterized by inflammation and wear of the thumb joint. Of the two common types of arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis is the kind that most commonly affects the thumb.

Hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a painful condition where the femoral head (the ball of the hip) pinches against the acetabulum (the hip socket).

The hips are defined as two large ball and socket joints. For optimal function, the ball of the femur should be able to move smoothly within the socket of the pelvis without interference.

Dealing with hip impingement? Exercises may help to reduce pain and keep symptoms at bay.

Hip impingement is a condition brought on by the wear and tear of the cartilage (labrum) between the acetabulum and femoral head.

If you’ve pulled your quad, these stretches and exercises can help boost healing by strengthening surrounding muscles and improving range of motion.

A pulled quad, or quadriceps muscle tear, is a sports injury most common among active middle-aged individuals.

When dealing with Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction, taping techniques applied to the foot, ankle, and heel can aid in pain relief and injury prevention.

When recovering from Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction, exercises are a great tool for rebuilding strength and range of motion. These exercises are recommended by physical therapists, but you should be professionally evaluated prior to starting any new exercise routine.

A  proper plan for posterior tibial tendon dysfunction treatment is vital, particularly because the condition can progress if left untreated.

Do you have unexplained pain in your foot or ankle? Does it seem that your arches aren’t as high as they used to be? Or have your arches always been relatively flat?  These are all signs that you might be developing posterior tibial tendon dysfunction or PTTD.
