" So, I was wondering, what is the difference between you and a Chiropractor ? " ......

If only I had a fiver every time someone had asked me this question, after 30 years as a Physio I'd be on a beach in the Maldives. Just my pennys worth !

Post natal is a real ' perfect storm ' scenario for developing a bone stress Injury ( BSI )for runners and endurance athletes.

1. You have your body back ! - 10k booked for six months time 🥳
2. Your hormones have been screwed around with for 10 months 😵‍💫
3. Now your sleep is also screwed around with... permanently! 🥴
4. In energy/ nutrition terms you are fairly depleted having just spent a year growing a human. 🤰
5. You are desperate to get your body back AND a precious 30 mins of peace and solitude 🤗

All of the above can contribute to altered bone health and a disappointing return to exercise and running. There are injuries that can be ' run through ' or managed but BSI really isn't in this category ! Pushing through a BSI really is a recipe for turning weeks off into months off.

Get a proper diagnosis of any niggles BEFORE deciding it can be ' run through ' as you may be doing more harm than good and setting yourself up for frustration and disappointment.

Wowsers !
That's a LOT of metalwork ! Start of a long road of rehab but if anyone can do it she can.
Did you know that bone is the only tissue that our bodies can replace like for like ? The amazing human body can grow new bone tissue to replace broken tissue and it will be just as strong as before.

We are genuinely amazing .

Lindsey Vonn has shared an injury update, with plenty of screws and plates in her leg 🤯

Kung Hei Fat Choi - Welcome to the Year of the Horse.
From my family to yours I wish you much health, wealth and happiness. 🙇‍♀️🧧🏮🍊
Horse folk are regarded as enthusistic, optomistic and energetic which bodes well for the year. However, they can also be impulsive, restless and resist authority so also hang on to your hats !!! 🤪😉

Compartment Syndrome has been in the news this week after LIndsay Vonn's awful injury in the Olympics Downhill final last weekend. I thought it was worth pointing out that not ALL Compartment Syndrome is as dramatic or serious as hers .... basically not all compartment syndrome comes with scaffolding !!!

Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome ( CECS ) is far more common - especially in endurance athletes, runners specifically -

In a nutshell it is a restriction in the blood flow to the muscles causing pain and sometimes associated numbness or weakness in severe cases. Our muscles ( particularly in our limbs ) are arranged in contained compartments separated by layers of tough, inelastic fascia which won't stretch if a compartment fills with swollen muscles ( or blood in Lindsay's case ! ) . This can be remedied by Physio or Sports Therapy addressing joint stiffness, muscle tightness and biomechanical changes.

Word of warning - DON'T Google 'Compartment Syndrome' if you are of a queasy disposition ! ....... here's a picture of my Jen jumping instead. ....... the reason for my grey hairs !!! 😫 😵😵‍💫

Amazing effort or insanity ??

These lot are hurtling down a wooded mountainside at 90mph strapped to two planks of wood so I'm not sure any of them are sane 😄. Olympic athletes just aren't built like us mere mortals.

It's interesting that the broken leg is the same side as her ACLD knee - did wearing a brace to support the ACL mean the forces were transmitted down the leg ? 🤔

Lindsey Vonn has fractured her left leg, the same leg she suffered her ruptured ACL.

Sadly it's often the chronic aches and pains that aren't prioritised when the pressures rise in the NHS. Understandably so, but that still doesn't help when you are in pain and can't get to work or take part in your normal activities. 😕

See if we can help with Physio, Sports Therapy, Acupuncture, massage and Holistics.

We can help with :
🚩 Sciatica
🚩 Rotator cuff problems
🚩 Back pain
🚩 Disc problems
🚩 Sporting injuries.
