1.Inflammation of the Achilles tendon and it usually affects the Gastrocnemius and Soleus.
2.While the adductor longus, adductor magnus, adductor brevis, and pectineal muscles are all adductors of the hip, of these the adductor longus is most often injured in sports.
3.Joint hypomobility (including loss of joint play) that requires manual movement, mobilization, or manipulation to restore normal function, or as hypermobility that requires stabilization.
4.Tight hamstrings interfere with foot position. Poor contact of the feet with the ground: unstable foundation. Tight neck muscles interfere with proper head carriage and movement, distorting the sensations provided by the balance centers of the inner ear.
5.Sporting activities involving repeated jumping or sudden stopping and turning, such as in basketball. These activities can cause tiny blood vessels in the skin to shear and rupture.
6.Caused by toes constantly crashing into the end of sports shoes/boots during sports, especially if there are abrupt stops or constant pounding of the foot.
7.Tight Innercostals, Pectoralis Major, and or Scalenes.
8.Can be caused by tightened extensor hallucis longus.
9.A stretch or compression injury to the brachial plexus. Immediate, severe, burning pain and prickly paresthesia that radiates from the neck, extending circumferentially to the arm or fingers. Additionally, symptoms often include numbness and brief paralysis of the arm.
10.It is simply a closed space between two moving surfaces that has a small amount of lubricating fluid inside. Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Deltoid Muscles, Greater Trochanter Area
11.There are 9 tendons and the median nerve pass through the tunnel from the forearm to the hand. Increased pressure in the tunnel form inflammation in one or many of the tendons irritate the median nerve. Flexor Retinaculum, Flexor Digitorum Superficialis, Flexor Digitorum Profundus, and or the Palmaris Longus.
12.Pain in the neck which does not radiate outwards is called cervicalgia. The neck muscles are constantly under tension to hold the head up.
13.Posterior tibialis muscle is constricted and tight. With neuromuscular therapy, this muscle responds rapidly, especially in children, and can help alleviate club foot.
14.Injury to the soft-tissue often produced by a blunt force such as a kick, fall, or blow. The result will be pain, swelling, and discoloration. Treatment for contusions includes Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (R.I.C.E.). More serious contusions may need to be examined by a physician.
15.The intercostals muscles are affected.
16.Stenosing tenosynovitis of the short extensor (extensor pollicis brevis) and long abductor tendon (abductor pollicis longus) of the thumb.

18.Foot slaps down when walking, weakness in the dorsi-flexor muscles.
19.This relatively common disorder is characterized by hyperplasia of the palmar fascia and related
structures, with nodule formation and contracture of the palmar fascia.
20.There are 18 tender points that doctors look for in making a diagnosis. According to the ACR
requirements, a patient must have 11 of the 18 to be considered as having it.
21.This muscle tunnel syndrome represents entrapment of the ulnar nerve between the humeral
and ulnar heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle.
22.When you kick the ball, the repeated downward stretching and the kick impact effect on the front
part of the ankle joint can cause this condition. This leads to strain and inflammation of the joint
capsule and later to the formation of small bony growths (osteophytes) on the edge of the joint.
23.Tight abdominus rectus muscle and floor of the pelvis.
24.Painful condition, which results in a severe loss of motion in the shoulder. It may follow an injury to the shoulder, but may also arise gradually with no warning or injury. Usually the Subscapularis is affected.
25.Disruption of the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb resulting from forced radial deviation of the MCPjoint of the thumb.
26.Inflammation of the medial epicondyle. Palmaris Longus, Flexor Digitorum Superficialis, Flexor Carpi Radialis,Flexor Carpi Ulnaris, or Pronator Teres.
27.Bruise or a stretching or tearing of the fibers comprising muscles that run from the front of the hip bone to the inside of the thigh.
28.Common nerve compression affecting the ulnar nerve as it passes through a tunnel in the wrist called Guyon's canal. This problem is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, but involves a completely different nerve. Sometimes both conditions can be causing a problem in the same hand.
29.Pain and/or restriction of movement at the joints of the big toe.
30.Are caused by tight extensor digitorum longus.

43.Inflammation of the outer ear canal that extends from the ear drum to the external ear opening.
The inflammation usually occurs at the surface skin of the ear canal and is often caused by a fungal or bacterial infection.
44.Condition characterized by pain when a person lifts his/her arm between 45 and 160 degrees from the side of the body. The condition is caused by tendonitis or bursitis of the shoulder.
45.Patellofemoral pain is caused by patella alta (a congenitally high-riding patella); plicae (fibrous bands attached to the patella); tight hamstrings; tight heel cords; tightness of the vastus lateralis, iliotibial tract, and lateral retinaculum; weakness of the vastus medialis; and Q angle (between the patella tendon and the long axis of the thigh) > 15°.
46.The neurovascular bundle gets entrapped between the pectoralis minor and the coracoid process. Hyper abduction often reproduces the symptoms, and Wright's or Roo's tests are often positive.
47.Higher than normal arch in the foot and could be a tight Tibialis Anterior muscle.
48.Is flat feet, not enough of an arch, weakness in the soleus-gastroc group or tibialis anterior.

53.Flexor hallucis longus, Flexor digitorum longus, Tibialis posterior.
54.A Cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and it is a Nerve entrapment at the pronator teres muscle area. The median nerve can get entrapped between the humeral and ulnar heads of the pronator teres muscle. The patient will complain of pain and tingling in the palmar and dorsal aspect of the hand, palm, and fingers.
55.Chronic psoas shortening and weakness may occur due to sleeping in the fetal position, exercise programs emphasizing repetitive hip flexion, and sedentary life styles.

64.Excessive tension among muscles and tendons on one side of a joint displace the bone.
65.Problem for many individuals involved in vigorous overhead shoulder motions such as racquet sports. Impingement syndrome is primarily caused by compression of the sub-acromial soft tissues underneath the acromion process of the scapula or the coracoacromial ligament of the shoulder.
66.Sprain or Tear in the Ligaments.
67.Usually a sprain of the ulnar collateral ligament caused by a fall with the arm outstretched.
68.This syndrome refers to conditions about the hip that cause an audible or palpable "snapping." The cause can be intra-articular or extra-articular. The most common cause involves the snapping of the IT band or the TFL over the greater trochanter of the femur (external snapping).
69.The slipping of all or part of one vertebra forward on another vertebra.
70.Injury to a ligament and is often caused by a wrench or twist. Sprains often affect the ankles, knees, or wrists. The treatment for a sprain includes Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (R.I.C.

79.Characterized by severe, throbbing pain beneath the toenail. Symptoms include vague swelling
of the toe and purple discoloration under the nail. The discoloration is from bleeding, which may appear as vertical streaks beneath the nail.
80.Inflammation of the gliding surface of the tendon and the surrounding sheath; Sheathed tendons are usually found in the wrist and ankles where tendons pass close to the bone.
81.Most headaches are caused by muscular tension in the scalp and surrounding muscles of the jaw, neck, shoulders, and back. Upper Traps, Rectus Capitus, Splenius Capitus, Suboccipitals, and or the Sternocleidomastoid.

Collection of syndromes brought about by abnormal compression of the neurovascular bundle by bony, ligamentous or muscular obstacles between the cervical spine and the lower border of the axilla. Tight Anterior Scalene or Pectoralis minor.
83.The commonest sports-related shoulder problem in young people is shoulder tendonitis. This literally means an inflammation of the tendons, and the commonest tendons to get affected are those which form the so- called "rotator cuff.”
84.Can be caused by entrapment of the deep peroneal nerve in the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Releasing the deep anterior compartment muscles takes the pressure off the peroneal nerve and over time toe drop is diminished and may be eliminated.
85.Usually the result of a thickening in the tendon that forms a nodule.
86.Pain where the big toe joins the foot. The pain may be caused by a simple bruise but more commonly resultsfrom a sprain of the ligaments that attach the toe to the foot. A sprain is a stretching or tearing of the ligaments.

___Inflammation of tendon.
___Most headaches are caused by muscular tension in the scalp and surrounding muscles of the jaw, neck, shoulders, and back. Upper Traps, Rectus Capitus, Splenius Capitus, Suboccipitals, and or the Sternocleidomastoid.
___Can be caused by entrapment of the deep peroneal nerve in the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Releasing the deep anterior compartment muscles takes the pressure off the peroneal nerve and over time toe drop is diminished and may be eliminated.
___The commonest sports-related shoulder problem in young people is shoulder tendonitis. This literally means an inflammation of the tendons, and the commonest tendons to get affected are those which form the so- called "rotator cuff.”
