What Happens to Your Body When You Play Tennis Regularly
Research shows tennis may extend lifespan and improve heart health, bone strength, mobility, and social connection. While injuries, cost, and access can be drawbacks, experts agree that tennis provides broad health benefits.
Reported Rates of Labral Repair and Reconstruction in Primary Hip Arthroscopy Vary Widely Across Published Studies: A Systematic Review
Among studies reporting labral repair and reconstruction during primary hip arthroscopy, the proportion of each procedure performed varies widely. These findings highlight the procedural heterogeneity across surgeons performing hip arthroscopy.
What to know about knee stiffness
A stiff knee is a common complaint, especially among older adults and those who are very physically active. Knee stiffness can occur due to low flexibility or muscular imbalances in the legs, injury, or arthritis. The most suitable treatment for knee stiffness depends on the underlying cause.
How to Get Rid of Sore Muscles: 10 Relief Tips
It's common for your muscles to feel sore after a workout, particularly if it's a new exercise for you or a more intense session. Experts call this delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and it happens after physical activity that puts an unaccustomed load on your muscles. Whether muscle soreness is mild and barely noticeable or extremely painful, there are several ways in which to relieve discomfort and possibly recover faster.
Protected Weight-Bearing and Early Passive Mobilization Are Common Components of Rehabilitation After Hip Arthroscopy With Labral Reconstruction
Given the increasing prevalence of hip arthroscopy with labral reconstruction, a systematic understanding of existing rehabilitation protocols is essential to guide clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review of postoperative rehabilitation protocols after hip arthroscopy with labral reconstruction. The authors hypothesized that there would be heterogeneity in the postoperative rehabilitation protocols reported in the literature.
Does running ruin your knees? And how old is too old to start?
You've probably heard that running is tough on your knees - and even that it can cause long-term damage. But is this true?
Are Topical Anti-Inflammatory Creams Worth the Rub?
Chronic pain and inflammation can really take a toll on your physical and mental health. Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) can help reduce pain and inflammation. But they also carry certain risks for cardiovascular and kidney issues, stroke, bleeding and ulcers when you take them for extended periods of time. Fortunately, there are topical anti-inflammatory creams that offer the same amount of relief with significantly reduced risks.
Repair of a Proximal Hip Capsular Avulsion in Revision Hip Arthroscopy
Revision hip arthroscopy is challenging from a diagnostic and technical perspective and has been repeatedly shown to have inferior outcomes when compared to primary hip arthroscopy. Capsular defects are common findings in the revision setting that have been successfully managed with capsular reconstruction. We propose a technique of capsular repair for a proximal capsular defect without the need for a capsular reconstruction.
SLAP Tear of the Shoulder
A SLAP tear is an injury to the labrum, the cartilage rim that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint. SLAP stands for "superior labrum anterior and posterior," meaning that the tear occurs at the front of the upper arm where the bicep tendon connects to the shoulder.
Exercises and stretches for hip pain
Hip pain can have a range of causes, from minor injury to chronic inflammation. In many cases, gently exercising and stretching the hips can help relieve pain and restore mobility.
