WEEK 8 POST OP — STARTING STRENGTH

Pec reconstruction rehab.

This is where strength begins.

Not heavy.
Not explosive.
Controlled. Intentional. Earned.

This stage isn’t about pushing limits,
it’s about teaching the muscle to switch back on.

At 8 weeks post repair, the tendon is healing but still vulnerable.

This phase is about:

• Restoring activation
• Building tendon tolerance
• Laying the foundation for real strength

Brick by brick.

After 10 years of treating, I wanted to give something back to the people who’ve trusted me with their recovery.

Rugby season’s back and I’m itching for a game.

Nothing beats summer rugby. Ball in hand, sun out, and a shoulder sunk into someone.

May 31st 2025 was the tackle that ended my season.

Late December, surgery was a success. Now I’m finally cleared to start building strength again, steady.

It’s a long process. No shortcuts. You can’t rush it.

Everything now is geared towards comeback season — Summer 2026.

Until then, I’m in the treatment room at and Castleford, helping others stay on the field.

If you need treatment, message to book.

Therapist Approved Foam Rolling.

Most people foam roll wrong.

They rush it.
They roll over joints.
They think pain means progress.

Here’s the simple rule:

Before training → 30–60 seconds prep
After training → 1–2 minutes slow recovery

Roll muscle.
Not joints.
Slow it down.
Breathe.

Recovery isn’t optional if you’re training hard.

The Magic of the Challenge Cup

Some clubs you play for.
Some clubs are part of you

For me, it’s always been Lock Lane ARLFC.

The only amateur club I’ve ever known.
Since I was six years old.

So seeing the lads step out last Friday against the reigning Super League champions Hull Kingston Rovers hit differently.

An amateur team
against one of the best professional sides in the country, who now go on to face Brisbane Broncos in the World Club Challenge.

The standard. The magnitude of it.

And the lads stood up and were counted .

Couldn’t be prouder of everyone involved.

A common phrase I heard was:
“Bet you wished you were playing.”
and yeah it really did sting watching from the sidelines.

Nothing worse than not being out there with your own club.

But that fire just builds.

Return of The Pick, June/July.

Week 4 post pec reconstruction 💪🏽

Feeling way more confident with movement now.
Range’s coming back. Control feels sharper every day.

Still no strength work yet, healing first, always.

Stick mobility.
Scap setting.

The boring stuff… but this is what actually gets you back properly.

And the good news…

Rebuild. Recover. Return.

Physio’s impressed with recovery so far.

Week 3–4 after pec reconstruction and the goal isn’t strength yet…
It’s control. Range. Healing.

No ego lifting.
No pressing.
Just smart rehab.

Wall slides.
Mobility.
Activation.
Repeat daily.

As an athlete and a therapist, I know this part matters most.
Build the foundations now… or pay for it later.

Slow work today = strong return in February. Back doing what I love. 💆🏽‍♂️💆🏽‍♀️

Let’s get this thing back on the road. 🚗

Spoke with the surgeon this week and he’s very happy with how my pec reconstruction is healing 💪🏽
I’ve been cleared to start rebuilding gradually, beginning with the pendulum exercises you can see here. Slow, controlled, and exactly where I need to be.

After next week, the sling is gone 👋🏽
So clients, have no fear, I’m good to work.
