Symptom playlists

  • Stiff neck & shoulders — A feeling of heaviness or tightness from the neck across the shoulders and upper back, often noticed after long periods in one position.
  • Neck pain — Pain or stiffness in the neck. It can come on suddenly, as after sleeping awkwardly, or last longer. Most neck pain is not serious, and gentle movement is commonly advised.
  • Shoulder pain & stiffness — Shoulder pain or difficulty lifting the arm, including frozen shoulder, where the shoulder gradually becomes stiff. There are many possible causes.
  • Low back pain — Pain in the lower back. Most low back pain has no single identifiable cause, and staying as active as you can is usually recommended over long rest.
  • Pain or tingling down the leg — Pain or tingling that spreads from the buttock down the leg, thought to come from irritation of a nerve in the lower back.
  • Posture — Concerns such as a rounded upper back or shoulders. Rather than holding one 'correct' posture, changing position often is generally considered more important.
  • Tension-type headache — A tight, band-like headache across the head or at the back (tension-type headache), sometimes felt together with neck and shoulder tension. Any unusual headache should be checked first.
  • Hip pain — Pain around the hip or groin, often noticed when walking, standing up or using stairs.
  • Knee pain & stiffness — Knee pain, including knee osteoarthritis, where joint cartilage changes with age. Strengthening the thigh and hip muscles is commonly recommended.
  • Knee pain with running or jumping — Pain around the knee (front or outer side) after running or jumping. Adjusting training load and gradual strengthening are commonly used.
  • Twisted ankle — An injury to the ankle ligaments from rolling the ankle. Once swelling settles, movement, strength and balance are gradually restored.
  • Achilles pain — Pain in or around the Achilles tendon just above the heel, more common in runners or after a sudden increase in activity.
  • Heel & sole pain — Pain under the heel or along the sole of the foot, typically worse with the first steps in the morning.
  • Bunion (big toe joint) — The big toe angles towards the other toes and the joint at its base sticks out. Exercise does not reverse the shape, but is used for comfort and foot function.
  • Low arches (flat feet) — A low or flattening foot arch. If it is not painful, it is often not a problem.
  • Toes that feel weak — Toes that do not rest firmly on the ground, or feel weak. The videos focus on moving and strengthening the toes.
  • Elbow pain (outer or inner side) — Pain on the outer (tennis elbow) or inner (golfer's elbow) side of the elbow, more common with repetitive hand and wrist use.
  • Wrist & thumb pain — Pain in the wrist or at the base of the thumb, such as tendon irritation. Reducing overuse is often combined with gentle exercise.
  • Numb or tingling hand — Numbness or tingling in the thumb and first fingers, often worse at night or in the morning, caused by pressure on a nerve at the wrist.
  • Jaw pain & clicking — Pain in the jaw joint or muscles, clicking, or difficulty opening the mouth, sometimes linked to teeth grinding or clenching.
  • Breathing practice — A feeling of shallow or restricted breathing. These videos are slow-breathing practice. Seek care if breathlessness comes on suddenly or gets worse.
  • Balance & fall prevention — Unsteadiness or worry about falling. Balance and leg-strength exercises are known to help prevent falls.
  • Stiffness / flexibility — Feeling stiff or less flexible. These videos are whole-body stretching and mobility routines.
