Here Poppy is performing a rehab drill using the reaction lights which encourages her to maintain a good squat position whilst changing direction. Poppy plays hockey and this drill is designed to in some way recreate the chaos of sport, getting her body and brain to work together. The band encourages her to use her gluts (bum muscles) which helps to keep her knees out rather than letting her knees fall inwards. The lights are there to provide another stimulus that she has react to, just like she would have to on the hockey field. When carrying out return to sport rehab it isn't enough to improve the squat position in isolation we have to train the brain as well as the body. Try this at home with coloured markers or objects on the floor - family members can shout the colours or objects that you have to move towards. Can you keep your knees out and maintain a good squat position? Can move quickly and react?

On this day one year ago I opened the doors to the first client at Performance Physio and Pilates! What a fantastically busy year it has been since I joined the High Street. I love the space I have created, it allows me to provide a great level of care with areas for treatment and rehabilitation. I am so grateful for the good word of those that have tried out the services first hand, word of mouth is such a powerful and brilliant way to promote small businesses like mine. The Pilates classes have grown hugely and I absolutely love teaching over 50 people a week in the classes I run at Innerleithen Memorial Hall and Innerleithen Pipe Band Hall. Being part of the community has been a pleasure and I am really proud to be able to support Kids Innerleithen Cycling Club. This year has also seen the launch of the search for a star campaign, in which I found Torin, Poppy and Emily. All brilliant sporty kids who will help me to provide advice and support for young athletes and their parents, who follow the campaign. Huge thanks to my biggest supporters, my family who help me daily and support me always. Here's to another brilliant year, let's see what it brings 😃

Torin's Sport Screening session this week identified that his hamstrings are tight. There can be lots of reasons for this - hamstrings shorten in sitting so spending lots of time in a seated position can cause them to tighten up. It can often be linked to growth, the thigh bones may grow rapidly and the muscles don't always keep up and therefore they can becoming short and tight. On functional movements like deadlifting, which requires you to stretch through the hamstrings, Torin was still able to perform the movement but he rounded his lower back in order to help because of the tightness through the hamstrimgs. You can see in this video that Torin has to try hard to control his lower back position as he stretches out his hamstrings. Improving his hamstring flexibility will not only help to improve the mobility around his hips, helping him during functional movement, it will also help to protect his lumbar spine as he continues to grow.

THE SEARCH FOR A STAR CAMPAIGN IS UNDERWAY!

This week Torin came in for his first sports screening session and with his consent I am going to share with you some snippets from our session that could help you or your sporty kids. We talked about growth, we looked at where he is in terms of growth and maturation and calculated his predicted adult height. Torin has entered into the stage of peak height velocity (PHV), which is the period when a child is in the fastest rate of growth. Girls usually reach their PHV earlier than boys. Mapping growth is really important, it helps us to know when additional fueling, rest and recovery may be needed. It also helps us to diagnose and treat injuries effectively because a growing child gets very different injuries to a developed adult. For more information on why kids get injured head to Kids Back 2 Sport where you will find tons of information. Watch this space for more .......

Congratulations to the final Search for a Star prize winner Torin Urie!

Torin is a very keen runner with the ambition to be the best hill runner he can be. He has set himself the personal target of running 5K in under 19 minutes this year! He is part of the Moorfoot Runners development squad, training for hills and cross country. He also runs on the track and if you went to county sports this year you will of seen Torin pick up 3 trophies for sprinting, 600m and the relay. He also plays football for Peebles Football Club 2013s and when he has spare time loves riding his mountain bike.

I wanted to support Torin because he is ambitious and came across as a great character on his application form. He talked about wanting to be a role model for younger athletes to look up to and I felt he would be both willing and able to help me spread good advice and top tips across the campaign

Torin has won support from Performance Physio and Pilates for the school year 25/26. This will include sport screening sessions across the season to screen for injuries and to check in with factors such as growth that can massively impact sports performance. He will be provided with physiotherapy support should he need it and I will offer my knowledge on looking after kids in sport to the clubs he is associated with in order to support not only Torin but others within the community.

So please follow Torin throughout the campaign and hopefully you will pick up some 'golden nuggets' of information that will help keep you or your kids doing the sport they love injury free.

A huge thank you again to all who applied, you are all stars and I wish you all the best for the upcoming season.
