Management of Hamstring Injuries by Physiotherapy
The accurate diagnosis of the injury and the degree of its severity is the crucial factor to be decided initially as this indicates how the injury is to be expected to improve and how long it will be until the patient has functionally recovered. The mainstay of treatment is physiotherapy and the physio has to decide the how to progress the treatment according to the level of tissue injury and the time...

Multiple Sclerosis
MS or multiple sclerosis is a central nervous system disease which involves inflammation of the nerve tracts and loss of the insulating myelin sheaths around the nerves, a condition known as demyelination. The small scarrings and thickenings which occur in the MS lesions are known as sclerosis. MS is a very active disease and new nerve lesions are constantly being formed with consequential clinical worsenings and increased disability.... (posted by Jonathan 2 years 69 days ago.)

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)
In childhood the most frequent rheumatological disease is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis which is also one of the most frequent chronic diseases in this age group. There are a number of different but related disorders which are expressed in chronic inflammation of the joints. It is not clear what causes these conditions and the complexity of the underlying genetic bases for them makes it difficult to clearly distinguish... (posted by Jonathan 2 years 76 days ago.)

Injuries to the Acromioclavicular Joint - Part One
The shoulder is a very vulnerable joint in many functional and sporting situations and needs careful treatment and management to recover back to its normal abilities. The main joint in this region is the shoulder joint proper, known as the glenohumeral joint, but above the shoulder itself lies the acromioclavicular joint which is vulnerable to sporting injuries. Contact sports, falling off bicycles... (posted by Jonathan 2 years 79 days ago.)
