Repetitive gripping is a key component of many hybrid training formats, but it can also place significant strain on the forearm and inner elbow over time.

A common condition associated with this is medial epicondylitis, where the tendons at the inner elbow become irritated due to repeated loading.

In many cases, the issue is not a single movement, but the accumulation of tension — particularly from sustained gripping during exercises such as rope work or kettlebell training.

Simple strategies such as managing grip intensity and incorporating brief recovery techniques between sets may help reduce strain during training.

Tendon pain is often described as “inflammation,” but not all cases are the same.

Tendonitis refers to an acute inflammatory response, while tendinosis describes longer-term structural changes within the tendon. This distinction is important, as approaches like rest and ice may be helpful early on, but may not be sufficient for persistent symptoms.

In longer-standing cases, recovery often involves gradual loading and restoring tendon function rather than complete rest.

The term “slipped disc” is commonly used, but is it anatomically accurate?

Intervertebral discs do not slip out of place. Instead, they may change shape or bulge over time due to mechanical stress and natural ageing.
In many cases, disc bulges are asymptomatic. Pain typically occurs when nearby nerves are irritated or compressed.

Understanding this distinction is important, as management focuses not only on imaging findings, but also on symptoms, movement, and spinal function.

Bunions (hallux valgus) are a progressive deformity of the big toe joint that may affect alignment, footwear comfort, and walking mechanics over time.

In selected cases, minimally invasive bunion correction may be considered. This technique uses small access points and specialised instruments to address bone alignment under imaging guidance.
Compared to traditional open surgery, it aims to reduce surgical exposure, although recovery outcomes vary depending on individual factors and the severity of the condition.

A clinical assessment is required to determine suitability and guide appropriate treatment planning.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is commonly associated with compression of the median nerve at the wrist. However, in some cases, similar symptoms may also be influenced by nerve irritation originating from the cervical spine.

This is known as double crush syndrome, where the nerve is affected at more than one level along its pathway. This can contribute to more persistent or severe symptoms.

Recognising possible multi-level nerve involvement is important, especially when symptoms extend beyond the wrist or do not improve as expected with initial treatment.

"I have bad hips."

We often hear this from even active patients, but "bad hips" is rarely a complete diagnosis. Often, the culprit is Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)—a structural mismatch where the hip bones don't glide smoothly, leading to labral tears and persistent groin pain.

Ignoring that "clicking" sensation doesn't just mean living with discomfort; it accelerates the wear and tear of your cartilage. The goal of modern Orthopedics is Hip Preservation: identifying and correcting these mechanical issues early to ensure your natural joint lasts a lifetime, rather than settling for a hip replacement down the road.

Ankle sprains don’t always fully recover just because the pain is gone.

Some people continue to feel instability, especially on uneven ground — a sign that the issue may involve more than just ligament healing. It can be related to how the body senses joint position (proprioception) and how well the ankle responds to movement.

Rehabilitation often focuses on restoring both stability and control, while some cases may require further assessment for structural support. If ankle instability is affecting your daily activities or sports, a proper evaluation can help guide the next step.
