Muscle weakness: Weakness in the muscle is caused by injuries to the muscle, lack of use, pain or nerve and brain injury. The trick to getting muscles working again is by knowing the cause – it’s not as simple as use or it lose it (although sometimes it is). You also need to know how long it will take, how hard you’ll have to work and why you can’t do certain things.
Physiotherapists are trained not only in anatomy (knowledge of muscles, bones and joints), but also in exercise physiology (knowing how train for fitness) and the neurosciences (knowing how to train following nerve and brain injuries). Some of us have further skills and training to make our skills more effective.
If you’re worried about your muscle weaknesses, please make an appointment with us and we’ll love to provide you some helpful advise and care.
