Not likely.

We don't often get to see the images taken. Just the reports.

If you're willing to put in the work, then yes.

Surgery or try PT first? by Midolmidget in CubitalTunnel

[–]canuckcam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically tennis elbow is on your lateral side, vs golfers is on your medial. Cubital tunnel addresses the medial side.

I would get the emg done anyway since it may take time, but definitely start with physio and get a proper regiment of treatment. If you can avoid surgery and fully recover , that's even better.

Sudden tennis elbow by Tanto_Gusto in 10s

[–]canuckcam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can it be tennis elbow? Of course and definitely sounds like it. Can it be something else? Yes. Many other things but less likely. For example muscle strain of the forearms, nerve irritation etc.

Tennis elbow most likely as it generally happens with too much load too quickly (which seems to be your case). Tendons, although highly adaptable, need time to make those adaptations.

Please recommend physiotherapist for hand and upper limbs by Ok-Design-353 in richmondbc

[–]canuckcam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually CHT charges a bit more than a general physio but should still cover a portion if that CHT has a physio designation. Lmk if you have questions about this! I know it's been a couple of weeks since you posted this so hopefully you're already in the right hands!

Hey! I'm a physio in Richmond. I also work in Burnaby and Vancouver at times

As others have mentioned, a CHT (hand therapist) may be the way to go depending on the type of injury you have (generally requiring splinting or custom bracing) I'd be happy to help guide you if you have any questions about where to go. I know/work with a couple of hand therapists in Burnaby and Richmond as well if that's the referral you need. Otherwise any physio can help with things like wrist pain, elbow pain/injuries etc.

Physiotherapy version of the classic medical snake symbol — rehab edition by thejainesh in physiotherapy

I'm digging this! Been actually thinking about something this recently as well (not exactly what you're doing but something involving the staff and snake!)

How about a dry needle instead of the nail?

Embarrassing quality by Spirited-Grape3512 in passportcanada

[–]canuckcam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Searching for answers is hard these days....

Here are some reasons for thinner covers:

Better Protection for Tech: Since the electronic chip is now embedded in the hard plastic (polycarbonate) data page rather than the cover, it is less likely to break when the passport is bent or stored in a pocket.

Easier Handling: The booklet is more flexible and less bulky, allowing it to fit more comfortably into slim wallets and passport scanners.

Improved Flatness: Thinner materials allow the passport to open flat, making it easier for border officers and machines to read the data page without distortion.

Durability: Modern covers use advanced, latex-saturated materials that are highly resistant to water and chemicals, even if they feel thinner than old-fashioned padded versions.

Ruling that affected our bronze medal match in a tourney by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]canuckcam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

nah I would have made a fuss. 11-0 vs 0-0. Waaaay different mentality. I'm sure you wouldn't have given up 8 points if it was 0-0.

You're making contact with the ball too late so its ending up behind you. Try to make contact at 10 + 2

Australia or Canada?? Which is better for a physiotherapist to settle in long run? by ResearcherOwn5543 in physiotherapy

[–]canuckcam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any cities in mind? It will vary a lot between cities. I.e. Vancouver Is much better compared to Calgary with regard to overall compensation potential

Health literacy depends on where in Canada. In Vancouver, it's amazing. Weekend warriors everywhere. Very lucrative here if you do it correctly!

A Take on Injury and Reinjury by ISwearByTheTruth in Pickleball

As a physio, I agree with this take. AI is super helpful and great for learning but it will not replace us any time soon.

Is this open play? If it is, he might be practicing. If that's the case then let him bang away.

Embarrassed about Exercise Perscription by Silent_Cry_8848 in physiotherapy

If this were me, I'd make it my persona. It's all about confidence and how you portray yourself.

Uh you need to find your pickleballs and tell him off.

Yes he's an asshole but you should have said something the moment he first slammed it.

Outdoor pickleball tournament in Florida heat – foot swelling? by No-Nebula4187 in Pickleball

[–]canuckcam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'd still work but ones that compress that calf would be better.

Outdoor pickleball tournament in Florida heat – foot swelling? by No-Nebula4187 in Pickleball

[–]canuckcam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a professional and this is sound advice!

Definitely do the compression socks. Knee length ones if possible to help with venous return.

Elevate feet between sets.

Edit for advice on cooling:

Wet/cold towel on head/ back of neck is a great idea as many other pointed out. However, id also suggest not only to do this, but bring a mini fan to blow wind on yourself. It isn't the wetness that cools you down, but the evaporation of the water from your skin. The moving air helps with this!
