🦴 World Osteoporosis Day

For physios, reducing fracture risk isn’t just about bone density — it’s also about helping patients move safely and confidently.
💪 Weightbearing exercise can help address low bone density and poor hip abductor function, while weightbearing balance training can target an important contributor to falls and fracture risk.
The key is looking at the whole picture and using exercise strategically to help reduce the risk of a neck of femur fracture. 🏋️‍♀️

📚 A great reminder that strengthening (especially of the hip abductors) and balance training both have an important place in osteoporosis management.

🌸 World Menopause Day

Menopause can bring changes that impact broadly on health, including the musculoskeletal system and pain, yet it’s a topic that can easily be overlooked in routine physiotherapy assessment.
For health professionals, asking about menopausal status can provide valuable context when assessing and managing musculoskeletal presentations in women over 40. 🧠
💬 Do you routinely ask your 40+ patients about their menopausal status?
If not, it’s time to start.
Let’s be part of the solution and work towards better, more informed management of musculoskeletal conditions in menopausal women. 💪

Friday Reduced tibial torsion may contribute to anterior hip overload and instability.

In an individual with reduced tibial torsion (internal tibial torsion), bringing the foot to face the front will put the hip into relatively greater than normal hip external rotation.

This may potentially add to overload of the anterior joint structures, particularly if combined with excessive femoral anteversion.

Be aware of the impact of lower limb malrotation on hip joint loads.

🧠 Imaging can tell you what’s there — but can it tell you what’s causing the pain?

Pathological MRI findings are common, even in people without trochanteric pain. So while imaging can provide valuable information, the presence of tendon or peri-trochanteric changes doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the source of a patient’s symptoms.
For clinicians managing lateral hip pain, this is an important reminder to interpret imaging alongside the patient’s presentation, clinical findings and overall pattern of symptoms. 🔎

😴 When hip or pelvic pain is making sleep uncomfortable, small changes to the sleep environment may help.
As a physiotherapist, you may have patients struggling to find a comfortable position at night due to lateral hip pain, proximal hamstring symptoms, coccyx pain or other pelvic conditions.
Mattress toppers, like the Body Huggar Mattress Topper may be a useful option to discuss with patients who are finding sleep difficult due to tenderness around the hip and pelvis. 🛏️
The egg-carton foam surface can help distribute weight more evenly, reducing pressure over tender bony prominences.
💡 A practical self-management option you can recommend alongside your clinical care.

🔙 Friday Flashback: Are you overlooking gait training in the management of gluteal tendinopathy?

Strengthening is clearly a cornerstone of physiotherapy management — but is it the whole picture? 🤔
The way a patient loads their hip during everyday activities, including walking, may also be an important consideration when managing gluteal tendinopathy.
📚 This blog explores the evidence behind gait impairments in gluteal tendinopathy and what it may mean for physiotherapy assessment and treatment.

🧠 Lateral hip pain is still often assumed to be an inflammatory condition of the trochanteric bursae.
But what does the evidence say about the most common soft tissue pathologies associated with pain over the greater trochanter, or GTPS?
🔎 There are many potential sources of local nociception.
📖 Head to the linked blog to find out which structures are most commonly implicated and what this may mean for your clinical reasoning.

🧘‍♀️ Helping patients stay active while managing hip pain can mean thinking beyond “stop” or “avoid.”
Yoga is a great example. Rather than simply advising patients to stop certain poses, understanding which movements may need modification, why, and how to adapt them can help you provide more individualised advice. 🧠
