Having maintenance to help niggles and aches and pains can be really helpful when training for the marathon. Well done to my patient Sam Murray for running 18 miles yesterday and doing all the hard strengthening rehab as well as the running. You’ve got this . If you can please donate to a good cause of Make a wish charity

I really didn’t want to have to stop seeing my patients but due to government guidelines it is necessary to close therefore I am unable to see anyone there.

Rest assured that I am in the process of looking at various different options potentially available to me, Skype / telephone etc , so will keep you informed of what happens next.

In the meantime if I can provide any help, reassurance or guidance please don’t hesitate to give me a call.

Be careful everyone and stay safe, well and sane. 😘

Are you competing this summer? Ironman, Triathlon, CycleCross or Road race?

Are you training out on the roads, taking part in spin classes, at home using or a turbo trainer or just pottering around with the kids on your bike?

It’s this time of year that I start to see more people with tight hip flexors, groin pain or tight lower leg muscles. These injuries and niggles can greatly affect performance and often require physio intervention to ease them. Stretching, stretching and more stretching can help ease the pain and loosen things up. So make sure that before AND after you cycle 2 miles or 200miles you are stretching those hip flexors and lower legs.

One major impact on muscles and the aches and pains you can get is your riding position. Neck and shoulder pain is an indicator of incorrect bike fit, so have a chat with your local bike shop and ask them to check you out.

Morning everyone! How are you doing this morning? At least the sun is out and our serotonin levels will be rising. Here's a fun fact for your Monday morning.

Did you know.......The tongue is unique in that it is the only muscle that isn't connected to bone at both ends?

It is connected on one end to the hyoid bone, which is also unique as it is the only bone not connected to any other bone in the body.

Do you know any other fun facts about our bodies? (polite ones only please!)

As many of you know I am a huge fan of doing exercises to help strengthen and stretch your muscles. These don't have to be huge complicated gym workouts, it's better if you can fit them into your daily routine.

I think this farmer has nailed it, don't you? Just watch the tracking of those knees! 😂🐄

Off skiing? Then this exercise is for you, it is great for pre-season ski training. How many times do we get onto the slopes and think "ooh that aches and creaks!"⁣ This exercise will strengthen your quadriceps and reduce those aches and pains.
⁣
So try these exercises a few weeks before going.⁣
⁣
Here's the health warning! Be careful if you have knee or knee cap issues. It is advisable to get them assessed before skiing or embarking on these exercises as the wrong exercises can aggravate pre-existing conditions.⁣
⁣
Have a great time, what's the snow like out there?⁣ I would love to see some pictures! ⁣

Did you know that for every 1 lb of weight lost there is a 4 lb reduction in the stress on your knees? Quite an amazing change when you think about it.

So often we take our knees for granted until they start to go wrong. I see people with a variety of knee complaints, tears and strain yes, but also some with osteoarthritis and other aches and pains.

Be kind to your body and assist it to do its job rather than hinder it.

For more advice or an appointment please do get in touch.

Motor Neurone Disease is a debilitating condition which we don't know much about. Treatment usually involves a combined approach between doctors and physiotherapists. This new trail, the largest of its generation could be groundbreaking.

A major study will assess if new - and existing - drugs can help people with motor neurone disease.
