🦵 Monday Physio Tip: My Go-To Exercise? Single-Leg Balance! 🧠

If I had to choose just one exercise to recommend, it would be single-leg balance—and here’s why:

1. It strengthens the connection between the upper trunk and lower limbs, promoting full-body coordination.
2. It’s closely linked to postural control and neck-related issues, helping reduce strain through improved alignment.
3. It reduces the risk of falls by improving proprioception and reactive balance.
4. It enhances lower limb stability, which supports almost all forms of movement—from sport to stair climbing.
5. It activates lateral hip stabilisers like the gluteus medius, which helps:

Ease lower back pain through better pelvic control

Reduce stress on knees and decrease hip and knee pain during functional tasks

Prevent overuse injuries in active individuals—especially in runners and field athletes.

Improve gait, ankle control, and core stability

You don’t need fancy equipment to start—just stand on one leg for 30 seconds. Want a challenge? Try it with your eyes closed, on an unstable surface, or while turning your head.

Don’t believe me? Check this out → Single-Leg Balance Training: A Systematic Review
This research backs up the role of balance work in improving strength, stability, and injury prevention across age groups and activity levels.

A simple exercise with powerful benefits—don’t underestimate the single-leg stance!

What Makes Us Different?

We tailor treatment to your unique needs—because no two runners (or injuries) are alike.

Hear is an example of what we consider when someone presents with a running injury prior to selecting the best treatment that fits around your life, training goals and aspirations.

✅ Training History – Volume (load magnitude), intensity, consistency, competition level and previous injuries.
✅ Tissue Load & Recovery – How well your body handles stress, include bone, Tendon/ligaments and muscle.
✅ Physiological Factors – Simply how your made, hormones, hypermobility, fitness level, and more.
✅ Muscle Dynamics – Strength, flexibility, control, and balance.
✅ Biomechanics – Core stability, hip/pelvic control, and foot mechanics.
✅ Technique & Efficiency – Small tweaks can improve performance and reduce injury risk.
✅ Psychosocial Factors – Mindset and personality impact recovery. Driven individuals may struggle with routine disruption, while others might lack rehab motivation.

The Key to Recovery:

A thorough assessment is the foundation of effective rehab.

Take-Home Points
📌 Injuries are rarely caused by one factor—treatment must be multifaceted.
📌 Rehab should be individualised and specific to you.
📌 Mindset matters in injury recovery and performance.
📌 Alot of injuries come down to on inconsistency in training load, volume and intensity.
📌If in doubt get it checked by a qualified health professional.
