The biggest 2 pillars of recovery are:
- Sleep and downtime
- Nutrition
Getting on average a minimum of 7-8hrs a night reduces your injury risk of injury. Infact research shows that less than 8hrs a night increases your risk by of injury 1.7x and it increase with less sleep.
Nutrition in the form of carbohydrate, protein and fats (good ones) helps top up your energy stores, repair muscle/tendon. Ensure you replenish lost fluids and salts with appropriate fluids.

BOOM - BUST is unfortunately a common occurance: Injury - Recover - Load to quickly (BOOM) - Re-inujure (BUST)

Here's some tips to help avoid it ⬇️

Evidence shows rushing back too soon raises injury risk. Key guidelines:

1️⃣ Gradual Loading
– Use walk–run intervals and increase load by ~10% per week (Hreljac, 2004).
- Build volume at low intensity first

2️⃣ Pain Monitoring – Pain >3-4/10 during or after running suggests overload (Silbernagel et al., 2007). Sometimes we want pain free. This depends on your injury

3️⃣ Progressions - Increase either distance/time or intensity, not both at the same time (Nielsen et al., 2014)....Vert counts as intensity not just speed.

4️⃣ Strength & Recovery – Lower limb strength and adequate recovery reduce re-injury risk (Barton et al., 2016) & DON'T stop it when you feel better!

5️⃣ Address your Nutrition - 80% of athletes underfuel. Underfuelling increases injury risk

Smart Loading = Stronger, Safer Return to Running.

END OF SEASON is here for many sports... It's NOT a time to smash yourself‼️

In season you are going hard, often for weeks or months. The body gets tired and many are managing or carrying ni**les or injuries.

At the end of a season it is important to take some time to:
👉 REST & RECOVER, physically, psychologically and socially
👉 ADDRESS INJURIES or NIGGLES prior to the next training block/phase.

It's a time of 'transition' prior to pre-season where you'll:
👉 Build capacity
👉 Build strength
👉 Work on movement quality &
👉 Lay the foundation for when the higher intensity work needs be done as you get closer to the start of the next season.

It's NOT a time to smash yourself‼️

Our team can help you rehab and prepare for next season! Reach out if you have queations or book online

Injuries are almost always multifactorial.

People often blame them on a change in or but those things alone actually have little impact on injury rates.

Some of the biggest contributors / flags contributing injury are:
- Poor load management: doing too much too quick
💤 Lack of, or poor sleep
🍏 Poor nutrition
👎 Poor recovery
🤯 Increased stress
💪 Lack of tissue capacity / strength
🩸 Hormone imblances (both male and females)...Loss of period or lack of in females, perimenopause & menoupause, no morning er****on for males
& more

Very rarely in there a single cause‼️

Our team is skilled in working out the contributing factors, helping you address them and getting you back to training or competition better than before.

"Knee Pain ≠ The End of Running"

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints among runners, but it doesn’t have to stop you.

With the right strength work, mobility, and running technique, you can in most cases manage symptoms and keep training safely.

Get assessed, stay consistent, and run smarter, not harder. 🏃‍♀️💪

Get back FASTER by seeking EARLY TREATMENT

So often we see people who wait to see if things settle when they get injured or have a ni**le.
Unfortunately, then, in most cases when they do present it's been a problem for some time or got worse. 🥲

Seeking early intervention is shown to get you back to sport faster! Depending on the injury is could improve youe time to return to sport by weeks. Who doesn't want that⁉️

Don't delay treatment unless you want extra time off the court, field, track, pitch etc.

🏷 Tag a mate with a ni**le or injury. It might just help them get back sooner.
