A Snowboarder's fracture refers to a fracture of the lateral process of the talus, a small bone in the ankle. It is commonly seen in snowboarders due to the unique forces placed on the ankle during the sport. The injury occurs when the foot is forcibly dorsiflexed (pointed upwards) and inverted (rolled outwards), causing the lateral process of the talus to break. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we provide comprehensive care for snowboarder's fractures, helping patients recover and return to their sport. 

Spinal injections are a minimally invasive treatment option used to alleviate pain and inflammation in the spine. These injections deliver medication, often a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid, directly to the affected area. The aim is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance the effectiveness of other rehabilitation methods such as physiotherapy. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we understand the role spinal injections can play in managing spinal conditions and support our clients through the recovery process. 

Sacroiliac spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spaces within the lower spine and sacroiliac joint area, which can cause compression of the spinal nerves. This condition often leads to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the lower back, hips, and legs. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we specialise in treating sacroiliac spinal stenosis through a range of tailored physiotherapy interventions to help reduce symptoms, improve function, and enhance quality of life. 

Snapping iliotibial band, also known as external snapping hip syndrome, occurs when the iliotibial (IT) band, a thick band of connective tissue running down the outside of the thigh, snaps over the greater trochanter (a bony prominence on the outer side of the hip). This snapping sensation can be heard or felt during hip movements, especially when the hip is flexed and extended. While the condition is often painless, it can cause discomfort, irritation, or even pain in some cases. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we specialise in assessing and treating snapping iliotibial band to help alleviate symptoms and restore normal hip function. 

Snapping iliopsoas tendon is a condition characterised by a clicking, snapping, or popping sensation felt in the front of the hip. It occurs when the iliopsoas tendon, which connects the iliopsoas muscle to the thigh bone, moves over a bony prominence in the hip joint during certain movements. While it is often painless, some individuals may experience discomfort, especially during activities involving repetitive hip flexion. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we specialise in treating snapping iliopsoas tendon to help alleviate symptoms and restore normal hip function. 

Snapping hip syndrome, also known as coxa saltans, is a condition characterised by a clicking, popping, or snapping sensation in the hip during movement. This phenomenon occurs when a tendon or muscle moves over a bony prominence in the hip, creating the snapping sound. Although it can be painless, some individuals may experience discomfort or even pain, especially when engaging in physical activities. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we specialise in diagnosing and managing snapping hip syndrome to help you regain mobility and reduce any associated symptoms. 

Slipped rib syndrome, also known as rib subluxation or rib tip syndrome, is a condition where one of the lower ribs becomes dislocated or moves out of its normal position, causing pain and discomfort. It occurs when the ligaments that hold the rib in place are stretched or weakened, allowing the rib to slip or shift slightly. This movement can irritate nearby nerves, muscles, or tissues, resulting in sharp or dull pain that may worsen with certain activities. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we specialise in diagnosing and treating slipped rib syndrome to help alleviate symptoms and restore function. 

A slipped disc, also known as a prolapsed or herniated disc, occurs when one of the discs between the vertebrae in the spine is damaged, allowing the inner gel-like material to push out through the outer layer. This condition can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, neck, or even down the arms and legs if the protruding disc presses on nearby nerves. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we offer targeted physiotherapy treatments to help manage symptoms, improve function, and support recovery. 

Shoulder osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint condition that affects the cartilage in the shoulder joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is a common condition, particularly in older adults, as the cartilage wears down over time, causing the bones to rub against each other. While age is a primary factor, shoulder OA can also be influenced by previous injuries, overuse, or genetic predisposition. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we provide comprehensive physiotherapy programs to help manage the symptoms of shoulder osteoarthritis and improve quality of life. 

Shoulder instability occurs when the shoulder joint becomes loose and slips out of its normal position. This can happen due to a traumatic injury, repetitive movements, or structural abnormalities. The shoulder is a highly mobile joint, allowing a wide range of motion, but this mobility makes it susceptible to instability. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we provide targeted rehabilitation programs to manage shoulder instability, reduce pain, and restore normal function.
