The Red Carpet of dreams!!! We want to wish everyone doing the Highland Fling 53 mile Ultramarathon tomorrow, the very best of luck! A special race for husband and wife team Jonny and Mariam, who have both stepped foot on that special finishers red carpet. A memorable moment for those lucky enough to experience it. We want to especially wish Jonny's coached athletes towing the start line in the morning. You have all trained well, so just go and enjoy it! πŸƒπŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈβ›°οΈπŸžπŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸ₯ƒ

😁Self help strategies to help manage back pain:

1- Keep moving
2- Establish routine & be proactive not reactive, think 2-3 minutes activity every hour rather than a 30 minute blast at the end of the day.
3- Accept responsibility & seek guidance. It is your body and your back and you need to find a way forward, nobody can do it for you.
4- Exercise for fun, exercise should be enjoyable and a way to relax your mind as well as your body.
5- Manage stress.
6- Be patient. You won’t change things overnight and chances are you will have many peaks and troughs in your recovery.

Have you ever booked a Running Technique Assessment with us? πŸ˜ƒ

With this assessment you will have your running assessed on a treadmill via slow motion video. This is a great place to start to show general running traits that we can work on to improve your running form. πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

We can cue your running to address adverse loading on a current injury, prevent injury or increase efficiency and speed. πŸ’‘

During this assessment we will also discuss your running practices such as volume and zone intensity in training as well as gather data from your running such as your cadence. ✍️

All this information is considered for your bespoke running plan as no two runners will have the exact same running practices, biomechanics or running technique. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Your experienced Sports Physiotherapist will identify how your injury or problem relates to what is seen in your slow motion video from the treadmill and referenced to data from your own watch data from outdoor runs. 🍁

They will then be able to form a bespoke running rehab plan for you, coaching the various exercises and running technique alterations that you need on your return appointment. 😁

This assessment provides essential coaching for anyone who is starting out running and is just looking to ensure they’re running in a way that is less likely to cause them problems. 🦡

It is also very insightful for more seasoned runners who are currently not injured to just see how they are running and if anything should be worked on. Lets face it, very few of us have had any form of running technique coaching and we could all look to improve it! πŸ†

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS

By using the shockwave machine, shockwaves are passed through the skin to the injured part of the foot
The shock waves applied promote blood flow and stimulate stem cell activity in the tissue providing pain relief while increasing the healing response
For optimal treatment outcomes shockwave therapy will be combined with a bespoke rehabilitation and strengthening plan based around an assessment of your unique needs and goals by our experienced Physiotherapists
Shockwave therapy is often advised to those who have not reacted well to frequent treatment methods including physiotherapy, RICE, steroid injection, and painkillers.

Medal Monday time πŸ₯‡πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸ»

A massive congratulations to Kaley, who had Jonny helping with her coaching for the Jungfrau Marathon in the stunning Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. This is not your ordinary marathon as it has an astounding 6500ft ⛰️⬆️ of uphill elevation gain and very little descent 🫨Kaley had never done anything like this, having come from a road running background, so she stepped right out of her comfort zone with training and the event and should be really proud of this one!! A holiday well earned πŸ‘ Well done Kayley from a proud coach and all of us at Physio Effect.

Happy 40th Birthday Jenny!

A quadruple haul for Medal Monday today πŸ…πŸ…πŸ…πŸ† Huge congratulations to the Kilpatricks after yet another successful over the weekend. All 3 achieved PBs πŸ™Œ

Out of nearly 2000 runners, Jonny, at his third Lakeland 50, finished in 8:06hrs and was 5th overall beating his last year's time of 8:20hrs. He also wins 1st MV40. There was only about 1 minute between 3rd,4th, 5th, and 6th places and was a very competitive front end of the field!

Mariam finished her second Lakeland 50 in a time of 11:06hrs beating her previous time of 12:12hrs. She placed 25th lady and 12th FV40.

Last but not least, Aria takes home her seventh Lakeland 1 πŸ₯‡ beating her previous times each year (her first year at age 2, took her 35 mins).

It's race weekend for the Kilpatrick family who are back down for the Ultra Tour of the Lake District. Both Jonny and Mariam will be doing the Lakeland 50 this year while their wee one Aria will be running Lakeland 1. πŸƒπŸ½β€β™‚οΈ πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈβ›°οΈ

The Lakeland 50/100 Weekend has three races running concurrently: a 100 mile, a 50 mile and a 1 mile race. Jonny already has two 100s and two 50s on his completion list, while Mariam has one 100 and one 50 already in her books. Aria, however, will have done SEVEN Lakeland 1 finishes in her 8 years of life.

Good luck to the Kilpatrick family, enjoy your day out on the fells ⛰️⛰️⛰️

The race will start at 10am on Saturday

If you would like to track Jonny and Mariam, here are their live trackers:

A bit of a delay on this post, but we just wanted to say a huge well done to one of Jonny's coached athletes, Mike, who ran the Lairig Ghru Hill Race last month! ⛰️⛰️⛰️

The Lairig Ghru is a category C Long Hill Race run over 43km (26.7 miles) between the police stations of Braemar and Aviemore. This classic race takes place in a spectacular setting and follows a historic drove road rising to 835m between some of the highest peaks in Britain.

Mike, having already done his "A - Race" earlier in the year (Pennine Barrier 50 mile Ultra), used the Lairig Ghru race to practice his fueling strategy over a "shorter and faster" route. He felt it all worked really well, and he had a great day out! Well done, Mike! Your hard work over the past few months is certainly paying off πŸ™Œ

Our Story

Physio Effect was formed in 2012 by childhood friends Jonny Kilpatrick and Danny Wray. After completing their physiotherapy degrees at Glasgow Caledonian University, Jonny and Danny have each worked for more than ten years in sports and musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, including several years developing their skills working in private practices in New Zealand and Australia. Their aim is to bring an excellent quality and standard of care to their private practice in the UK that is similar to that enjoyed by those down under.

At Physio Effect we strive to bring you the very best in evidence-based, hands-on Physiotherapy care. Our treatment is always based on thorough assessment and understanding of your individual condition ensuring that you get the best possible care unique to your injury. At Physio Effect you can rest assured your therapist is highly qualified with the skill and experience to accurately diagnose, treat and educate you about your condition.
