According to the Oxford English Dictionary diagnosis (of something) is ‘the act of discovering or identifying the exact cause of an illness or a problem’.

A diagnosis is vital in guiding the treatment and rehabilitation of all sports and musculoskeletal injuries. It tells us what needs to happen, but not necessarily WHAT to do or HOW to do it. For example, an achilles tendinopathy diagnosis will mean strength and function needs to be restored.

The WHAT and HOW can be relatively straightforward, and a good percentage of problems will respond positively to a variety of common interventions such as rest, activity modification, stretches etc.

However, sometimes problems don’t respond. Maybe your achilles tendinopathy drags on for months , frustratingly you’re still not able to run despite a seemingly well structured strengthening program.
In these cases it’s important to look closely again at the reasons why the condition is not responding.

The list of possibilities here is extensive...
Is the foot working adequately?
Is there a dynamic knee vagus? Is this a problem?
Are the hip and pelvic muscles functioning well?
Is there a possible problem in the other leg which is being compensated for?
Could There be a lack of trunk rotation due to a concurrent shoulder problem?
Is the exercise selection appropriate and specific enough?

These are just a few examples, often there will be a combination of these issues. Working through them, deciding what’s most relevant, and to what extent can be difficult, especially when we consider that everyone is different.

This is where the skill and expertise of the Physio, coupled with a depth of experience, and an open but analytical mind is paramount to getting to the root of complex MSK conditions.

Hope you enjoyed your time over Christmas and the New Year. Can’t believe we are almost a week in already.

This year , one of our family goals is to spend more time in nature , so we have begun the 1000 Hours Outside challenge. We did this a few years ago and didn’t quite make the total , but we were definitely more intentional with our time … and my daughter enjoyed filling in the chart! Hopefully we will complete it in 2025 and at least this week’s beautiful mornings has got us off to a good start.

Professionally I’ve got a couple of interesting challenges to begin the year with , including programming and monitoring a client’s return to international powerlifting after a quad tendon repair and for a client with shoulder impingement competing in his first Hyrox event

Stefan and I wish you a healthy and fulfilling 2025.

We’re well into the new school year , a time of new beginnings.

25 years ago I walked through the doors of Rookwood Hospital to start my first job as a Junior Physiotherapist. I had a great team who supported me on a very steep learning curve.

Since then , having worked in the NHS , private hospital , professional and elite sport , my own private practice , I have worked with and learnt from some amazing people. I am still as passionately curious as ever , and am constantly striving for improvement personally and professionally.

But , in the words of Aristotle “The more you know , the more you know you don’t know” I have started a new Masters in strength and conditioning at Cardiff Metropolitan University to provide a further educational challenge. This further study will facilitate a deeper dive into areas of particular interest to me , such as movement analysis , biomechanics , motor control and even further enhance my problem solving skills and solutions in daily practice.

To all of you on embarking new ventures this autumn , good for you!

Apologies for the grainy graduation photo of me outside UHW in 1999 😂
