Propaganda we’re falling for = Staying hydrated! 💦

Hydration plays an important role in performance, injury prevention, and recovery for athletes engaged in competitive sports.

The human body is approximately 55 to 65 percent water, making fluid intake essential for numerous body functions. The benefits of optimal hydration include maintaining your core temperature through thermoregulation, removing cellular waste through respiration, perspiration, and digestion, and reducing stress on your cardiovascular system. Dehydration decreases blood volume–the amount of blood circulating throughout your body–and to compensate, your heart rate and blood pressure go up.

Key Factors 🥤
1. Muscle Repair and Growth - Hydration is essential for the transportation of nutrients to your muscles, aiding in the repair of tissue damage caused by intense workouts. Water acts as a medium to carry essential nutrients like electrolytes, amino acids, and glycogen to muscle cells, promoting quicker recovery and muscle growth.

2. Temperature Regulation - Hydration plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature. After an intense workout, your body temperature might remain elevated. Drinking water helps bring your body temperature back to normal, aiding in the recovery process.

Why do we use rock tape? 🪨

Rocktape can be used for both rider and horse.

RockTape is a brand of kinesiology tape designed to support the body without restricting movement.

Unlike traditional athletic tape, which is often rigid and limiting, RockTape is elastic and mimics the skin’s elasticity, providing a more natural range of motion. This advanced tape is used to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance proprioception, all factors associated with improved performance potential.

The Science Behind RockTape 🧬

1. Enhanced Sensory Stimulation: RockTape provides a heightened level of sensory feedback (often referred to as neurosensory stimulation) that can help athletes better perceive their movements and body positioning. This improved feedback helps in refining movement patterns and enhancing overall performance.

2. Improved Fluid Exchange: By lifting the skin, RockTape can facilitate better lymphatic drainage and blood flow. This improved fluid management helps reduce swelling and inflammation, aiding in quicker recovery and maintaining optimal muscle function.

3. Increased Body Awareness: RockTape enhances proprioception, which is the body’s ability to sense its position and movement in space. This increased body awareness is crucial for athletes to execute precise and coordinated movements, reducing the risk of injury.

4. Movement Confidence: The application of RockTape can boost an athlete’s confidence in their movements, partly due to a placebo effect. Knowing that their muscles and joints have additional support can mentally empower athletes to perform at their best without fear of injury.

“Charlie’s Kissing Spine diagnosis did feel like a tragedy for our future together when he was rising 6. After being recommended Paige for physiotherapy we are making huge progress and the future is looking positive.

Through structured rehab to produce postural changes after medicated vet treatment he’s looking so much more comfortable in his body. It’s been a rollercoaster ride so far but Paige has helped every step of the way.

She is my emotional support as well as Charlie’s physical support.”

Nutrition is essential if you want to optimise your rehab 🏋️‍♀️

🍗 Protein- 1.5-2g protein per kg body mass daily is essential to provide the building blocks for muscular hypertrophy and strength gains

🥤Creatine - 5g + per day to optimise recovery, strength and hypertonic gains

💦 Hydration- prioritising 3L water per day. This will vary with heat, sweat rate, diet, individual etc but this is a good baseline to target. Adapt and adjust depending on how you feel.

P.S. Hit your calories this is not the time to be on a calorie deficit 🥤🥑🥒

**Please note we are not nutritionist and this is just advice and a guide. Individualise this for your own training and situation.
