What about safe vs risky exercises? Would you said that crunches or v-sits for example are a safe thing to do for a back pain sufferer?

Depends on the cause of symptoms. Both of these will increase intraabdominal pressure which is often a problem for disc issues. '100's' are generally better and you have to maintain lumbar stability throughout.

You have classic PFJS, most likely due to a biomechanical imbalance around the knee resulting in abnormal joint loading. Ischaemic positions like sitting with bent knees are classic symptoms, as are squatting and stair walking. Go and see a professional for an assessment. PM if you have any specific queries.

You may have an underlying cervical nerve root irritation which has sensitised your upper limb nerves. Unlikely that it is trapped or irritated at three separate locations. Manual therapy on the neck and shoulder girdle, taping the shoulders and offloading by moving your bars up and / or back will probably help in the short term.

I'm in!

Happy to discuss issues from a professional perspective.

I find it almost impossible to comprehend how a GP can diagnose an intervertebral ligament issue without severe trauma and diagnostic scanning. So many other causes of back pain, all of which can be addressed.

Bloody knee still giving me jipp. It's been 18 months since the initial pain I believe (cycling to Paris) I'm stretching most days now have visited 2 physios (1 private, 1 nhs) have had a bike fit.

I've recently re introduced single leg squats to the stretching as recommended by one of the physios.

Now today the pain is back again - seriously throbbing.

Just fucking fed up really. I have no idea what else I can do.

If you've put in the time and your physio / advice has been appropriate but symptoms are still ongoing then it may be time to obtain further investigations to exclude patellofemoral chondral defects or other pathology.

Back in clinic from Fri 4th.

Happy New Year to all patients old and current and friends made along the way. May 2013 bring all that you want and work for.

I am now working full-time at The London Clinic on Harley Street but continue to do self-employed work at Complete-Physio, although I am no longer at our Kentish Town site. My clinic hours are now Mon and Fri from 4-8pm inside Lomax Bespoke Health at 293 Fulham Road. I am still able to offer club discounts but the rates are higher than at Kentish Town.

Continue to email / txt / PM as needed and best wishes for the upcoming year.

Chelsea and Westminster and Charing X both good sites. I'd probably speak with your GP and stress the urgency to see what can be done. I'm not too familiar with specific NHS services in West London. Colleagues at my Chelsea clinic could assess and perform diagnostic ultrasound but this can be limited for deep intra-articular problems.

Sounds like a loose body and given your history warrants investigation. Depends largely on your local NHS. A walk in emergency clinic / sports clinic will often provide rapid access to investigations and orthopaedic input. Or you may have a lengthy wait for any meaningful treatment. There are manual ways of shifting loose bodies but this is often temporary.

No quick answer for this one I'm afraid. If you do see your GP then stress issues such as giving way and locking to raise their suspicion of an internal derangement.

Exercise induced bronchospasm, often worse when exercising intensively in cold weather. The lining of the windpipes constrict with rapid cold air inhalation with resultant asthma-like symptoms. Suggestions above all good. You want to achieve bronchodilation to permit maximum volume of air passage.

Bag and jersey sold.

Sidi's still available.
