Being able to walk pain free does not mean your ankle is ready for sport. Running, jumping, and changing direction place far higher demands on the joint. Skipping proper rehab is why ankle sprains often repeat.

Before returning to sport, you still need good ankle bend range, strong balance and hopping control, and confidence with cutting and change of direction. Without these, the ankle remains vulnerable even if pain has settled.

Effective rehab rebuilds range, balance, and sport control. Reducing pain alone is not enough to protect the joint long term.

Leg pain is not always the same. Understanding whether it comes from a nerve or a muscle helps you choose the right treatment and avoid wasting time.

𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 include burning or electric sensations, pins and needles, or symptoms that travel below the knee into the calf or foot. These often link back to irritation in the lower spine.

𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 include a local ache, discomfort that worsens after training, and pain that eases with light movement or warming up.

Because symptoms can overlap, assessment matters. Treating a nerve issue like a muscle problem often leads to slow or failed recovery.

If leg pain is confusing or not improving, book an assessment at The Hanham Clinic and get clarity on what is driving your symptoms. 📍

Short aches often settle on their own. Ongoing symptoms usually do not. Knowing when to act can save months of frustration later.

It is time to book an assessment if you have pain lasting 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟬 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟰 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀, tingling or numbness in the arms or legs, pain that disrupts sleep, or discomfort that stops you from training or working properly.

These signs often mean the issue needs more than rest or stretching. Early assessment helps identify the cause and prevents problems from becoming chronic.

Cold weather often makes joints feel tighter and slower, especially if you sit for long periods or jump straight into activity without warming up. A few simple habits help reduce stiffness and protect your joints through winter.

Before activity, take five minutes to warm up. Gentle movement increases circulation and prepares joints for load. During the day, aim to move every hour. Standing, walking, or light mobility keeps tissues warm and mobile.

If stiffness keeps returning or starts to limit what you can do, it is usually a sign something deeper needs attention.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱. Many begin with stiffness and tension in the neck, especially after long periods of sitting or screen use. When the neck stops moving well, surrounding muscles tighten and refer pain upward.

Common signs your headache may be neck related include pain at the base of the skull, headaches that worsen with sitting posture, and a neck that feels stiff or restricted during the headache.

Treating only the head often gives short term relief. Addressing neck movement, posture, and muscle tension helps reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches.

Arriving at The Hanham Clinic barely able to walk is frightening for anyone, especially an active person. This client came in with severe hip and sciatic pain that made even simple steps difficult.

Soon after their first treatment with Kyla, they were able to walk pain free! Over a full course of treatment, their strength and mobility returned. By the end, they were running again and taking part in sport without fear of another flare up.

Kyla’s approach is clear and supportive. She explains each step, focuses on long-term recovery, and understands the goals of athletes who want to return to competition. Effective care is not only about reducing pain, it is about restoring confidence and performance.

Walking without pain feels like progress. Running demands far more from your joints, tendons, and control. Skipping this step often leads to the same injury coming back.

Before you run, your body needs to pass three basics. Single leg balance shows control. Calf strength endurance protects the Achilles and knee. Hip control keeps load off the lower back and pelvis.

A common mistake happens next. Increasing distance and speed in the same week overloads tissue fast. Tendons and joints struggle to keep up.

𝗔 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. Add time first. Build speed later. Layer strength work in every week to support the change.

If pain returns or confidence drops, your body is giving feedback. That is the moment to reassess, not push harder.

The way you move each day shapes how your spine feels long term. Small habits, done consistently, lower the risk of flare ups from work, training, and everyday life. You do not need perfection. You need awareness and repetition.

⏱️ Moving every hour keeps joints lubricated and muscles active. Standing up, walking, and resetting your posture for 60 seconds reduces stiffness from sitting.

🏋️ Lifting with a hip hinge protects your lower back. Using your hips instead of bending through the spine spreads load where your body handles it best.

📋 A baseline check matters before pain shows up. Testing joint motion and movement control early helps catch issues while they are easy to fix.

These habits take minutes. The payoff lasts all year.

New goals demand a body that moves well. Before you push harder, take a moment to check how your body is coping. Small issues early in the year often turn into bigger setbacks later.

The first things we usually see holding people back are stiff joints, weak movement control, and training loads that increase too fast. These are all fixable when caught early.

• Can you squat without pain or stiffness?
• Can you turn your head left and right evenly?
• Do your first steps in the morning feel sore or restricted?

If any answer is no, your body is asking for support. Ignoring early signs often leads to flare ups weeks later.

As the year comes to a close, we want to thank all our patients for trusting us with your care. Helping you move better, recover properly, and stay active is something we genuinely enjoy every day.

The festive period often brings more sitting, more travel, and less routine. Keep moving when you can, take regular breaks, and listen to your body if it feels tight or sore. Small habits still matter over Christmas. 🎁🦴

We wish you a relaxed, pain free Christmas and a strong start to the new year. If something has been bothering you, we are ready to help when you are.

Patellar tendinopathy builds up when training load rises faster than your body can handle. You can prevent most flare ups with a few simple habits.

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱:
Increase intensity or volume slowly. Sudden spikes are one of the biggest causes of tendon pain.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀:
Tendons heal slower than muscles. Recovery is not optional if you want long-term progress.

𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴:
• 30 second wall sits, 3 rounds
• Single leg wall sits, 3 rounds each leg
• Follow with controlled single leg step downs

These drills help calm pain, improve tendon strength, and prepare the knee for impact.

If patellar tendon pain keeps returning, book an assessment at The Hanham Clinic. We’ll build a rehab plan specific to your sport and training load.
