Hawkes Physiotherapy E Course CPD: Meet your CPD training needs for FREE!!!!

-

As you may or may not know, Hawkes Physiotherapy has moved into the continuous professional development (CPD) market.




I feel that on YouTube there is a massive amount of content for CPD training but it is very inconsistent and not always up to scratch in relation to being evidence based. This makes finding the right content difficult and you might as well just roll a dice.

It was because of this reason that I felt  that Healthcare professionals need a consistent trustworthy source of high quality evidence based CPD, so I have set up, just this!

The content is fully researched and referenced so that you can check the source of the content for yourself rather than take my word for it. To get content at this standard takes an immense amount of time. For example the content in the Muscle strength and range testing playlist took 4-5 months to research, write and turn into videos.



The channel is absolutely free, which is amazing considering with normal CPD you would need to pay hundreds of pounds for a course, not to mention travelling costs etc.

So if you would like to take a look then just subscribe and spread the word!

Happy learning!!!

Patella Tendinopathy

I hear different terminology used all the time, so what is tendinitis, tendinosis or tendinopathy? Tendinopathy: This is a broad term encompassing painful conditions occurring in and around tendons, which includes tendinitis and tendinosis. Tendinitis: This basically means inflammation of a tendon. Tendinosis:  This means degeneration of tendon (Meaning cumulative damage). So what does this mean to me? For a long time tendinitis was the term used and it was considered that injured tendons were simply inflamed. Then the thinking shifted to the thought that there was little or no inflammation present in these conditions (Andres & Murrell 2008). However as is with research, the thinking is changing again: There may be an inflammatory response associated with chronic tendinopathy, even though recent opinions had decided it to be non-inflammatory (Rees 2013). So both types can occur! This is important as the way that you treat each one has to be

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Heard of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? Probably not but you may have heard of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Well they are similar but Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is in the wrist and hand whereas Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is in the Elbow. What is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? Basically it is a compression neuropathy, which means that a nerve is "trapped”. The nerve at fault in this case is the ulna nerve and where it gets “trapped” is in the cubital tunnel of the elbow: See the below picture: How common is it? It is the second most common compression neuropathy in the upper limb (Palmer & Hughes 2009). What causes it? A common cause is frequent bending of the elbow or constant repetitive pressure on the elbow itself. This then irritates the nerve and it is irritated too much then it becomes a “neuropathy”. What are the symptoms? The patient will complain of pain and numbness in the ring and little finger and weakness is common. If left untreated then this
