The Movement Clinic

And it does my head in that so few clinicians seem to understand this! How do you feel if you’re ill, or have had a whip lash or you’re tired? Yore not going to be thinking of applying to Cirque du Soleil are you!
🚨And this is your nervous system trying to protect you.

If you understand the type muscles aren’t the enemy and are in fact a perfectly natural response by a body trying to protect you then you’ll understand that the way you manage them isn’t by brutal stretching regimes and stupid foam rollers. It’s about understanding that muscles need some support and encouragement to help them to
lengthen or Contract.

‼️ once you understand this then your muscles and their treatment will make so much more sense.
And that’s why I use when I treat and educate ❤️

So proud to be associated with and Nicolas Samuels. He’s one of the most selfless, wonderful people I’ve ever had the privilege to meet and have absolute faith in the work he’s doing in Ukraine
Please follow him and keep your eye out for muggins here as I commence new projects under his leadership
AKA, I’ve found myself an adult who can adult my ideas 😂

You can’t stretch a muscle that doesn’t want to let go. Muscles aren’t tight for the hell if it, they’re tight because they’re protecting you.

The only way to loosen a tight muscle is to give it the right signals to release and the way you do that is by loading its opposite using something called reciprocal inhibition.

Teach the muscle to lengthen and give it confidence and it will do what you ask of it and more

That’s why works 🙏

Great video by guys to show the correlation between hip impingement and ankle range.

The hip and ankle work symbiotically and impeded movement in one will over load the other

The movement clinic focus is not just the pain that you manifest, it’s identifying where it came from and giving you the education and guidance you need to stop it from returning

Also known as orthotics 🙄

I only hand out orthotics if all other methods have been addressed but, TBH, they can be a cracking adjunct to prevent the foot succumbing to the hard westernised surfaces that we now find ourselves on
For the extremely flat/mobile foot or extremely arched/Cavoid foot the can be a game changer too
Have a think of this applies to you

What annoys me about the way podiatry is taught is the failure to understand how the back affects lower limb function, as though they’re separate entities?! If the podiatrist wants to understand how to improve lower limb function then they’re just going to have to look at the body as a whole because you ain’t going to be treating one if you don’t understand the involvement of the other. Healthy back function is critical to lower limb function, wilful lack of knowledge ain’t going to change that
