jwebmin — Sat, 20 Feb 2021 06:27:59 +0000

Many may have heard the line “my glutes aren’t firing” thrown around, perhaps in relation to back, hip, or knee pain or even in terms of poor leg strength. Our physios here at Transcend health take a moment to discuss this concept, the fallacies around it’s language, and what people may really mean when they express something like this. If you happen to have back, hip, or knee pain chances are you’ll get something out of this episode so let us know what you think!

In a rapidly advancing technological age, robotics have made their way from factory floor to surgical room – Dr MacKenzie explains how he uses the assistance of highly specialised robots to achieve, by far, better results on particular operations than without and what he thinks the future of surgery may look like.

Ep 8 – Dr Stuart Mackenzie Part 1

jwebmin — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 02:19:39 +0000

Surgery can be very scary. For a lot of people, they want to avoid it at all costs. When it comes to joint replacements a lot of patients want to know what other options there are. Or if they should try something pre-surgery.

Will injections like cortisone help?

Are stem cells going to regrow my cartilage?

Will taking turmeric, glucosamine or something else help?

Is it safe to exercise?

Am I just getting old and should stop doing everything?

In this episode of our special three-part series we sit down with Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr Stuart MacKenzie and discuss the options to consider before getting a hip or knee replacement. What’s worth your time, money and energy. What is a waste and what is potentially doing you harm.
