Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common causes of wrist pain, numbness, and tingling. It occurs when the median nerve, which passes through a narrow tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed. At Pain Free Health, our physiotherapists in Langley, Richmond, Ladner, South Surrey, Surrey, White Rock, and Queensborough regularly treat patients struggling with this condition.
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. Whether caused by poor posture, muscle imbalances, sedentary lifestyles, or injury, back pain can significantly impact daily life. One evidence-based and highly effective approach to managing and preventing low back pain is Physio-Led Pilates. This specialized form of rehabilitation combines the principles of Pilates with the expertise of a licensed physiotherapist to restore stability, strength, and confidence in movement.
In 2025, chiropractic care has evolved far beyond the traditional image of “just cracking backs.” Today’s evidence-informed chiropractor is a primary healthcare professional who combines the latest research with clinical expertise to help patients move better, recover faster, and live pain-free. Whether working independently or alongside physiotherapists, registered massage therapists (RMTs), acupuncturists, and kinesiologists, chiropractors are playing a central role in modern rehabilitation and wellness.
Our feet are the foundation of our movement. They carry us through work, exercise, and daily activities, often without us thinking much about them. That is, until pain sets in. Foot pain can be frustrating and limiting, and it often feels like it appears out of nowhere. In reality, the source of the pain usually depends on where in the foot it is felt. By paying attention to the location, we can often identify the structures involved and begin to understand what is going wrong.
As children grow, so do their bodies—and unfortunately, so do their habits. With the rise of screen time, online learning, and heavy backpacks, poor posture is becoming more common in kids and teens. Over time, slouching can lead to muscular imbalances, fatigue, and even back or neck pain. That’s where the PostureMedic brace comes in.
As children grow, their bodies go through major physical changes — and their feet are no exception. A child’s feet are the foundation for the rest of their musculoskeletal system, and proper foot development is crucial for ensuring good posture, balanced movement, and long-term joint health.
Knee pain is one of the most common complaints among youth athletes. Research shows that 15–30% of young athletes experience knee pain, particularly during running, jumping, and high-impact sports. One of the leading causes in adolescents is a condition called Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD).
Shoulder blade pain is one of the most common complaints we see at Pain Free Health. While many patients assume it’s due to muscle knots or posture, one overlooked cause is irritation of the dorsal scapular nerve—a small but important nerve that originates from the C5–C6 cervical roots.
Kinesiology tape, often called “kin tape,” has become a familiar sight on athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and even people recovering from everyday injuries. While it might look like colorful athletic tape, it works in a very different way. Kin tape is designed to support muscles and joints without limiting movement. When applied correctly, it can help manage pain, improve circulation, and speed up recovery. At Pain Free Health Clinic, we use kin tape as part of many treatment plans to help patients return to their daily activities more comfortably.
Posterior shin splints are a common yet often misunderstood lower leg injury. They cause pain along the inside of the shin, typically due to inflammation of the posterior tibialis muscle and tendon. If untreated, shin splints can progress into stress reactions or stress fractures, leading to long recovery times.
At Pain Free Health, we regularly treat athletes, runners, and active individuals with shin pain. This case study shows how a full assessment and targeted treatment can prevent a mild injury from turning into a more serious problem.
