“Does your BIG TOE look like this?”.

TRUTH: This is a TOE PAIN but a hip problem.

Our hips are the steering wheel for our leg. If the muscles of our hip can’t rotate our hip well, then each time our foot (1) hits the ground (2) toes off to the next step THIS will happen.

Bunions are NOT genetic. We make them.

Cross-training is a great way for injured athletes to maintain fitness. Look for options that are comfortable in terms of symptoms and easily accessible for the patient.

A sports therapist has a degree-level education and a broader skill set that includes diagnosing and rehabilitating injuries, prescribing exercise, and providing nutritional advice. A sports massage therapist specializes in manual soft tissue manipulation to relieve muscle tension and aid recovery, but does not have the same diagnostic or comprehensive rehabilitation training as a sports therapist.

"Have you ever been told you have IT BAND SYNDROME?"

🤬

Here are some better QUESTIONS:

"Has the side of your KNEE felt like it was on fire?"
"Do you get clicking, popping, or snapping on the outside of that knee?"
"Does hurt to bend that knee and hurt when going down a hill or walking downstairs?"
"Does that pain worsen with activity, especially running?"
"Does that pain spread to the hip and thigh?"

If you answered YES, then there is a really good chance that your IT BAND is pretty upset with you!

MY ADVICE:

Pay attention to HOW YOU ARE SITTING!

Most of us can't avoid SITTING all together but we can do things to minimise how negative it can potentially be. If you are suffering from the symptoms of IT Band Pain Syndrome (or you don't want to!)

STOP SITTING WITH YOU ANKLE CROSSED OVER YOUR KNEE!!

"Why?"

This position ask one hip to:

- flex more
- adduct more (swing inwardS0
- externally rotate more (turn out)

than the other.

As a result your hips will likely adjust by twisting and since your spine is connected to your pelvis (via the sacrum) this means you whole entire spine may have to twist.

NONE of that is good and will create many imbalances if you have to sit for long enough periods of time.

So SIT with both feet on the floor and have a better day!

👴🏻OLD BUT GOLD👵🏻

Here’s a paper from 30 years ago showing how lifting weights regularly is not associated with increased risks of spinal disc issues

Yet these myths and messages still continue to spread today and are getting worse!

Many people also like to complain that old research is not useful research… but that’s utter nonsense

Research doesn’t have a ‘best before date’ like food making it automatically garbage after a set period of time

Yes its good to stay as up to date as possible but old research can be very useful and insightful in showing us how things have or haven’t changed!

🌿 Focus on the Therapy: Acupuncture 🌿

Therapists who practice acupuncture, an ancient healing therapy used for thousands of years to restore balance and wellbeing.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterilized needles into specific points on the body, carefully chosen to treat a wide variety of conditions.

Why it works:

• In Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture balances the flow of Qi, or life energy, through the body along meridians.
• In Western science, acupuncture stimulates nerves, boosts natural painkillers, supports the nervous system, and encourages the body to heal itself naturally.

As a registered therapist trained to deliver this therapy safely and effectively, combining ancient wisdom with modern understanding to support both your physical and emotional wellbeing.

💚 We are proud to support our members who bring this amazing therapy to life.

If you have an article on Acupuncture we would be happy to showcase your amazing work.
