Another sore and swollen knee aspirated today…

Aspirating the knee joint (joint aspiration or arthrocentesis) involves using a needle to withdraw fluid from the joint space. This procedure can provide both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits:

Therapeutic Benefits:
• Pain Relief: Reducing joint pressure caused by excess fluid, especially in cases of large effusions.
• Improved Mobility: Decreased swelling can improve joint range of motion.
• Reduction of Inflammation: In inflammatory conditions like gout or rheumatoid arthritis, removing inflammatory fluid can help control symptoms.

Evaluating Joint Effusion Causes: Can help distinguish between trauma-related haemarthrosis, degenerative joint disease, or other causes.

If you’d like us to take a look at your sore swollen knee please get in touch…

The Dragon Flag.

The dragon flag is a core and bodyweight exercise popularised by martial artist and actor Bruce Lee. While Bruce Lee may not have invented the movement, he’s widely credited with bringing it into the spotlight.

Where It Comes From:
1970s Popularisation: Bruce Lee incorporated dragon flags as part of his personal training to develop extreme core strength, spinal control, and explosive martial arts power. His training philosophy focused on building functional strength rather than just muscle size, and the dragon flag fit that perfectly.

The Name: The name "dragon flag" is thought to be linked to Bruce Lee’s nickname, The Dragon, rather than anything related to the shape of the exercise itself.

Cinematic Appearances: Bruce Lee’s training clips and photos often show him performing dragon flags on a bench or on the floor, contributing to its reputation as a challenging and elite movement.

It’s now considered a very difficult benchmark for core strength, hip flexor control, and anti-extension strength—similar in purpose to moves like the Dead Bug, stability ball roll out and Rocking plank but with a unique load on the body.

I should be more extended at the top position but my head got squashed by the pole 😆
How many can you manage!!!!!
be careful dont go in cold and certainly build up !!!!!!

🚴‍♂️ A Big Week of Bike Fits! 🔧

It’s been a busy and rewarding week in the fit studio — working with everyone from complete beginners needing full adjustments, to experienced riders fine-tuning their position on new bikes or ironing out long-standing issues.

I've really enjoyed the conversations, problem-solving, and helping each cyclist get more out of their riding. 🙌

We hope all our clients found the sessions helpful, insightful, and confidence-boosting.

With summer in full swing, we’re looking forward to welcoming many more of you in over the coming weeks!

📩 Need a bike fit?
Whether you’re new to cycling or chasing marginal gains, get in touch to book your session — and ride better, longer, and more comfortably.

please share to anyone looking to be more comfortable on the bike....

A Turkish get up
No idea why it’s Turkish……

The Turkish Get-Up is highly effective for shoulder stability because it challenges the shoulder through a full range of movement, under load, while requiring constant control and balance.

⸻

✅ Why the Turkish Get-Up is Good for Shoulder Stability:
1. Stable Shoulder Under Load
• From start to finish, the shoulder is supporting a kettlebell overhead in a fully extended position.
• This strengthens the smaller stabilising muscles (like the rotator cuff) by forcing them to stay active throughout the movement.
2. Movement Through Multiple Planes
• The get-up takes the body through a variety of directions and positions, while the shoulder must remain steady overhead.
• This trains the shoulder to stay stable during complex and unpredictable movements—very useful for sport and everyday activity.
3. Improves Body Awareness and Control
• Because the exercise is performed slowly and deliberately, it helps improve proprioception—the body’s ability to sense position and movement.
• This teaches the shoulder how to respond and stabilise under different stresses.
4. Keeps the Joint Centred
• The movement encourages the shoulder joint to stay correctly positioned within the socket, even as the body moves underneath it.
• This reduces the risk of overuse or strain injuries.
5. Supports Good Scapular (Shoulder Blade) Mechanics
• The shoulder blade moves and stabilises naturally during the get-up, which is key to shoulder health and long-term function.
