    diagnostics: Cervical spondylosis is a disorder in which there is abnormal wear on the cervical vertebrae.  It is caused by a degeneration of the vertebrae.  This can cause the bones to press down on the spinal roots, which can result in pain and discomfort.  Most individuals show signs of this disorder by age 60. This is a disorder that I will expect to see a lot in the physiotherapy setting, perhaps referred for management of pain and stiffness. I’d expect muscle tightness as well, on which stretches should be taught. However I think the most important thing would be strategies to cope with the disorder and how not to let it deterioriate, of which an important thing to take note of is posture. It’s always posture.

PortraitHello! We are a pair of good friends from the only Physio school in Singapore. We go by the nicknames, crabby and fatty.

These are primarily stuff we wished we had someone to tell us. We also only reblog items relevant to physio. We hope to increase the awareness of what physiotherapy is about. Occasionally, you may hear about our day.

You can leave a message in our 'ask' box if there's anything :)

Current status: GRADUATED .
