As a physio I’m regularly seeing runners with issues that could easily be avoided with a proper recovery plan.

If you’ve got a goal or an event in mind, it can be easy to focus on building up your training and miles and neglect the recovery periods

Common mistakes I’m seeing in clinic
> over training - online programmes are v popular and can be brilliant for introducing routine and progress but don’t know your medical history, exercise history, external or internal stress or many other factors that can influence your recovery. If you’ve just completed a big effort run…. You need to schedule time to properly rest after.
> Too many events stacked up over short periods - if you get the running bug, it can be tempting to sign up for multiple events to keep your motivation high, but this often feeds my point above and isn’t realistic for a lot of recreational runners to sustain
> Not adequately fuelling after a run - lots of products, gels, electrolyte drinks, gummies etc are well marketed for the run itself, but your nutrition after and during high intensity training blocks is really important for injury prevention
> Missing the mobility and strength work - running is great, but to prevent injury and improve performance you need to do this work, especially if you’re new to running and your body is adapting to the new load

Save this so you remember after your next race 🔒

International Women’s Day

Starting my own business after having my first baby was terrifying. Throw covid lockdowns, another pregnancy & trying to give myself some maternity leave into the mix and it’s fair to say it’s been tough to keep up. BUT I genuinely love what I do. It’s because I get to meet, treat and help so many lovely and amazing women in the Physio clinic, via my women’s health online membership and via that I feel so grateful to call this work. Being part of a community of women supporting one another is special.

I’m forever grateful for the support and collaboration between other women in business that I’ve experienced too since starting out. Brighton & Hove is seriously lucky to have some amazing women’s health pro’s.

In my recent newsletter to members I put a shortlist together of other women in business in other fields that I admire for the work that they do alongside being mothers. They inspire me and help to motivate me to keep going! If you’ve not already discovered them, here’s a few recommendations for your scrolling!

I’ll be honest, if it wasn’t my job I wouldn’t have made it to my mat today.

A combination of things has left me feeling like I’m limping to the finish line for the end of this year, I’m exhausted. Almost everyone I speak to says they feel the same.

So this is just a reminder that exercise should be enjoyable, not used as a punishment. Movement can make you feel better, and if you can create a habit where it is a regular feature in your life you’ll 100% feel the benefits, but it’s also ok to sometimes choose to rest. Sometimes that’s more valuable. I do feel better for the time I spent moving today, but let’s also normalise the days when you don’t fit it in!

You inspire me 💛

Today I’m celebrating hitting a big milestone in my Membership. When it first started I had zero expectations, but knew I wanted to continue to reach women during lockdown when so many health and wellness services were not available.

Today the community has grown to include more members than I had ever hoped for! And best of all - each of you inspire me to commit to my own practise, time on my mat and to continue to create content that I know will feel so good for you.

Thank you for your messages, tags, emails and chats. It’s the favourite part of my job!

Is there any better reason to go to work?

This message from a client this week made my day, and was opportunity for us both to reflect on how far she has come with her treatment and self-care plan 💛

Feeling grateful for time and space to practise my flows here.

A quiet week on here for me as we’ve taken time out to celebrate 1 year of him 🤍

This postnatal journey has been completely different to my first, and a very steep learning curve. I’ve felt confident in my physical recovery, but struggled so much more to look after my mental well-being.

I’m marking this week with a memory of where I’m at. The biggest struggles are finding any spare time to create healthy habits for myself, trying to conserve my depleted energy stores, feeling desperate for an uninterrupted nights sleep, battling the constant tug between wanting more time with my babies and also wanting to grow a business that I am passionate about and see it flourish.

I’m also so much more confident as a mother. I have made a conscious effort to slow down and enjoy the simple moments with them both. I love how different they are, and also finding similarities between them. I love to watch them together.

I hope so much that the next year will feel like we are gaining back some freedoms to show them more.

It feels like things are shifting again. Here’s to the next chapter!

Missing waking up to this view 🏔

It was the first proper break we’ve taken for quite a while & allowed for some much needed headspace.

I’m feeling determined to make some changes and make time for the routines and habits that make me feel better 🙏 Why is it so easy to let things slip that we know are so good for us?!
