A new study is drawing public and clinical attention, showing that adults with disabling low-back pain who completed just eight sessions of a novel therapy saw sustained improvements in their pain and activity levels – even after three years. The treatment, called cognitive functional therapy (CFT), blends physical therapy with a psychology-based approach.
Running is a widely practiced physical activity with well-established health benefits. However, it is frequently associated with overuse musculoskeletal injuries. Among the modifiable biomechanical variables, increasing cadence, defined as the number of steps per minute, has emerged as a promising target for reducing injury risk by altering impact forces and load distribution. The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate and critically appraise the scientific evidence on the effects of running cadence modification on biomechanics and injury prevention in adult runners.
Regular exercise provides a wide range of benefits, including weight management, improved cardiovascular health and sleep quality. But for many people, common forms of exercise, such as walking, running and weight training, are a struggle due to pain, weakness, mobility issues or fear of falling. Aquatic exercise is an excellent way to focus on fitness in a gravity-reduced environment.

Running is not typically related to higher-than-usual incidences of lower back pain. However, excessive running without sufficient recovery time, improper running form, and other factors may contribute to lower back problems.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a type of physical therapy that uses exercises to reduce dizziness and improve balance. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy helps retrain your brain to process balance signals correctly when your inner ear is not working as it should.
Back pain is more common than homeownership in the U.S. While about 65% of adults own a home, nearly 80% of adults will have back pain at some point. Despite how common this type of pain is, myths about it persist.
Tennis demands explosive movement like lunges, pivots, sprints and sudden stops. Every serve starts with a push from the toes. Every rally shifts weight between the heel and forefoot. Unlike sports with linear movement, like sprinting, tennis places constant multi-directional stress on the feet and ankles—two of the most frequently injured body parts in the game.
Horseback riding is more than just a hobby - it’s a physically demanding, mentally engaging sport that deserves the same level of medical attention and athlete care as any other high-impact discipline.
