Both physiotherapy and massage therapy are renowned for their ability to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life. Although these disciplines have different focuses and techniques, they can work harmoniously to offer a more comprehensive approach to recovery and well-being.

Among these, physiotherapy and osteopathy are two distinct yet complementary approaches that can significantly enhance recovery and overall wellness. This is a quick reference to help you understand how these disciplines can work together, allowing you to make more informed choices about your treatment options and optimize your experience.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (TTS) is a painful condition caused by compression of the tibial nerve as it passes through the tarsal tunnel, located on the inside of the ankle.

In this blog, we'll explore how the Fortius physiotherapy team can provide interventions that can play a crucial role in managing Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome.

Pain during a woman’s “time of the month” is considered normal. So normal in fact, that it has its own name. Period pain is called Dysmennorhoea (Dis-men-or-ee-a). Dysmennorhoea is the most common health issue women face during their reproductive years, about 60% of us deal with this (Bajalan 2019).
