In this article, our physiotherapists will explain: The consequences of an ankle sprain Symptoms and diagnostic tests […]
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the fascia covering the muscles on the sole of the foot. The first symptom of this inflammation is pain, particularly in the posterior insertion area, around the calcaneus, and in the centre of the sole of the foot, with consequent difficulty in walking and general functional weakness of the […]

Pubalgia rather than an illness is considered a syndrome, for which the number of cases (epidemiology, in scientific terms) is difficult to calculate, as are the relative causes and symptoms, above all due to the anatomical complexity of the groin region and frequent overlapping features of other types of disorder. In general, pubalgia refers to […]
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy that involves trapped nerves, caused by compression of the median nerve on its route through the carpal tunnel of the wrist.

There are many causes of foot pain, differing greatly according to the anatomical area affected, which is not always easy to identify. When pain is localised beneath the sole of the foot or at the rear, it could be tallonitis, a frequent condition in both adults and children which, if not appropriately treated, can turn […]
