As the medical technology improves so does the life expectancy of the artificial joint, therefore there is less need for revised worn artificial joints, which was the initial reservation of […]
It’s a trick question! The answer is…there isn’t one! Everyone’s hip anatomy is different, so why are we being told to do a squat that looks the same as those glossy textbook photos? The textbook should have a variety of different people’s squat. By assessing your hip anatomy, we can begin to perfect our own […]

Physiotherapy is an ever evolving profession. It is a profession that initially requires a minimum of 3 years of university study and 1000 hours of clinical practice within this. After this we are required to evidence regular professional development (CPD) whether this be attending courses, in-team training, or attending seminars and lectures. What we learnt […]
