Conditioning that carries into the cage.

These Wattbike sprints are designed to build:

🥊 Anaerobic power
🥊 Repeat sprint ability
🥊 Fight-specific conditioning
🥊 Fatigue resistance across rounds

Short, explosive efforts with controlled rest mimic the demands of MMA — where you need to produce power, recover quickly, and go again.

This is how you build an engine that lasts all 3 rounds (or 5 when it counts).

Train hard. Recover smarter.

Taekwondo is a fast, high-impact sport that places significant strain on muscles, joints and connective tissues, particularly through repetitive kicking, spinning and explosive movement. Over time, this can lead to fatigue, stiffness and minor soft-tissue injuries if recovery isn’t prioritised. Remedial massage can play an important role in helping athletes manage training load, improve flexibility and reduce delayed muscle soreness after intense sessions.

By supporting circulation, easing muscle tension and restoring range of motion, targeted massage can help you maintain performance and lower the risk of overuse injuries. At Mixed Osteo, we tailor recovery strategies to the demands of martial arts so you can stay consistent in training.

🏃‍♂️ Marathon done — but recovery is just beginning.

Crossing the finish line is an incredible achievement, yet your body is still processing the physical stress placed on muscles, joints, tendons and the nervous system. Proper recovery in the first 48 hours is essential — focusing on gentle movement, hydration, quality nutrition and adequate sleep rather than rushing back into training.

In the following weeks, the goal shifts to restoring mobility, reducing stiffness and supporting tissue repair. A gradual return to running, combined with movement screening and early attention to lingering discomfort, can help prevent more serious injuries later on.

At Mixed Osteo, we support runners through hands-on treatment, rehabilitation and personalised recovery strategies so you can return to training safely and confidently.

🎾 Elbow pain from tennis or repetitive activity? Don’t ignore the signs.

“Tennis elbow” is a common overuse condition that develops when the tendons of the forearm become strained through repetitive gripping, lifting or racquet sports. This can lead to gradual pain on the outside of the elbow, reduced grip strength and discomfort during everyday tasks.

At Mixed Osteo, we take a comprehensive approach to elbow injuries — assessing not only the elbow itself, but also movement patterns, technique, posture and surrounding joints that may be contributing to the issue. Through hands-on treatment, targeted rehabilitation and practical advice, we aim to restore mobility, reduce strain and support long-term recovery so you can return to training and daily activities with confidence.

Not all core work is equal.

This sit-up with wall ball to overhead reach trains more than just abs — it links the core to the upper body, building strength that actually transfers to sport.

This drill develops:

🥊 Core strength through range
🥊 Coordination from trunk to arms
🥊 Overhead stability and control
🥊 Power transfer through the chain

For combat athletes, the core isn’t just about flexion — it’s about connecting the lower and upper body efficiently.

Train movements, not just muscles.

Speed and power without the wind-up.

This wall ball chest push to the wall trains explosive upper body power from a dead start, helping reduce the counter-movement that often slows punches.

By pushing the ball as fast as possible directly from the chest, the athlete develops:

🥊 Faster force production
🥊 Explosive upper body power
🥊 Improved punch speed
🥊 Better rate of force development

In boxing, the ability to generate force instantly is what separates fast punches from slow ones.

Train explosiveness. Train intent.

Curious about what dry needling feels like? This targeted technique involves the use of very fine needles to release tight or overactive muscles, helping to reduce tension and improve mobility. Most people describe the sensation as quick and precise, often followed by a feeling of relief or relaxation, almost like a reset for your muscles.

At Mixed Osteo, dry needling is often combined with osteopathic treatment and remedial massage to enhance results. By addressing trigger points and supporting healthy movement patterns, it can be an effective part of a comprehensive recovery or rehabilitation plan.

If you’re wondering whether dry needling is suitable for your condition, our team is happy to guide you through the process.

Combat sports require stability from head to toe.

This drill combines a hip lock step-up with an aqua bag on the head to challenge multiple systems at once.

It trains:

🥊 Hip co-contractions for single-leg stability
🥊 Pelvic control during movement
🥊 Neck stability under load
🥊 Balance and coordination

Exercises like this help fighters develop the ability to stay strong and controlled in unpredictable positions, which is essential in MMA.

Strength and conditioning for fighters isn’t just about lifting heavy — it’s about building control, durability, and resilience.

Train smarter.

Combat sports place unique and intense demands on the body, often involving repetitive strain, high-impact contact, and complex movement patterns. From grappling-related muscle strains to shoulder, wrist, rib, knee, and ankle injuries, fighters commonly experience issues that require specialised care and rehabilitation.

At Mixed Osteo, we understand the physical stress combat athletes face because our practitioners work closely with fighters across disciplines such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling and judo. Our integrated approach combines hands-on osteopathic treatment, movement assessment, and targeted rehabilitation strategies to support recovery, restore mobility, and reduce the risk of future injuries.

By addressing both the injury and the underlying movement patterns, we help athletes return to training stronger, smarter, and safer.
