SR Sports Therapy

SR Sports Therapy We are a musculoskeletal injury service based in Lincoln with an interest in exercise rehabilitation.

SR Sports Therapy was developed as a musculoskeletal and sports injury service accessible to Lincoln and the surrounding areas, offering access to advice, education and rehabilitation. We have a special interest in the application of post-operative rehabilitation and rehabilitation for common injuries such as ankle sprains, knee ligament and meniscus injuries, groin pain, shoulder complaints and m

ore! Steven, Owner & Sports Therapist at SR Sports Therapy, runs a clinic at Active Arena Lincoln, and has experience dealing with athletes of a number of backgrounds, from extensive experience in a variety of settings including professional football, working with professional boxers and MMA athletes, to recreational golfers, amateur runners, rugby players and the general public! Your injury may not be sports related, but we can work with most musculoskeletal issues including work-related, muscular and joint aches and pains. Steven holds over 9 years post-graduate experience and has performed pitch-side first aid care for clubs for 8+ seasons! We do things differently, and offer a service that allows access to supervised rehabilitation three times a week (Open Gym Rehabilitation Membership), and semi-remote management of your rehabilitation (Semi-Remote Rehabilitation Programme). Both these services offer extensive value for money - more details can be found on our website of these services. Steven is an experienced Sports Therapist and currently works as a Lecturer in Sport & Exercise Therapy at the University of Lincoln when not in the clinic. He graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a degree in BSc Sports Therapy and furthered his knowledge by finishing a MSc in Sport & Exercise Medicine in 2018. As a member of the Society of Sports Therapists, Steven has also held roles as an FA medical tutor across 4 different counties, lecturer practitioner at the University of Central Lancashire, and associate lecturing roles. An avid football fan, Steven tried many sports when he was a bit younger including windsurfing, and now enjoys playing tug or being walked by his German Shepherd named Thor - if you get to know more about Thor, you’ll know why he walks Steven! If you are experiencing discomfort, pain or would like help minimising the risk of injury, then get in touch by direct messaging us.

Access to platforms such as RehabGuru or True Coach to view, track and log your rehab progress, the availability of equipment such as velocity trackers and blood flow restriction training for those that it’s suitable for, not forgetting on-site force plate and strength testing - our service is a little different to the norm and targets the use of objective measures to track and dictate your exercise rehabilitation. With three ways of working with us, we can tailor our approach to best suit your needs, and maximise the results. Want to know more? DMs are open for any questions or enquiries.

🚨 A new pricing structure will be implemented from 1st February 2025 🚨
➖
After thinking long and hard, we are adjusting our pricing from the 1st February 2025 to 1) better reflect the service being offered and the access we provide to a wide array of training techniques and profiling/objective testing; 2) better align to pricing seen elsewhere - for example, other providers may have previously been seen as a similar cost, but likely only provided 30 minutes of time compared to our 45-minute appointment slots… There will still be 10% discount applied to those under 18, over 65, those in the armed forces, and students 🙋🏻‍♂️
➖
This change in pricing will affect all services offered, however there is still great value for money seen in some of the higher priced services, with big savings seen with the semi-remote rehabilitation and open gym rehabilitation options when considering the ‘per-session cost’ and the added support your receive with these options! Book in before the 1st February, and pay the current prices - so get in fast 🏃🏻‍♂️💨💨💨🔥

Struggling with an injury, and in particular wanting to get back to sport - why not book in for an assessment and we can work with you to managing it with exercise rehabilitation. With experience in professional and semi professional football, alongside clinical work which has included professional combat sport athletes, professional footballers, runners, gym-goers and more, we can work with you to develop the necessary physical qualities whilst managing the injury back to return to sport. With three ways of working with us, from traditional appointment-by-appointment, to semi-remote rehabilitation blending in-person and online, and finally our more intensive open-gym rehabilitation allowing 3 sessions in person per week, we have something to suit everyone’s needs.

Why would you want to some of your rehabilitation sessions to be alongside another patient? 🤔
➖
As part of our open gym rehabilitation sessions you have the opportunity to complete your rehab session alongside another patient, making up a 2:1 patient-to-therapist ratio. Some people may be wondering why on Earth you would want to pay to do your session alongside another patient… well there’s actually quite a few benefits (see post) and it can easily be implemented, especially if you complete your reps or work in the rest period of the other patient, meaning you don’t miss out on those coaching cues and tips that you’d normally get from us!
➖
From the social interaction, to sharing your wins and worries with someone else, to having a bit of competition back to your sessions, and feeling apart of something again, I believe this approach can bring some great things to your rehab journey!

How can monitoring speed, help you to develop your strength 🤯
➖
Velocity Based Training, commonly abbreviated to VBT, is a method of training where you record and monitor bar speed throughout a lift or action - this can, as a result of measuring bar speed, enable you to then determine the type of physical quality being worked based on the speed. Not only that, but if we want to work a particular physical quality, we can track when to stop a set based on when we stop performing the lift within a set threshold of speeds! 🔥
➖
Each exercise type can often be seen to have a different speed associated to a 1-Repetition Maximum attempt, and therefore the speeds set to work different physical qualities could vary slightly!
➖
Why do we like using VBT when appropriate in patient rehab sessions… well using our VBT unit, we can track speed, we can estimate your 1RM during sessions to minimise the need for designated testing sessions, we can monitor for fatigue in sets and sessions, as well as set up leaderboards to allow some competition between patients! The second image is an example of a deadlift estimated 1RM from an incremental load test, where 4 different weights were lifted, the speed recorded and the maximum load estimated from these speeds - these loss ideally need to be between 50-90% of your maximum to try to make the estimate as accurate as possible.

After 3 years at Active Arena, we are moving the clinic to a new site across Lincoln! An opportunity has arisen to take on some space in the new gym at and we jumped at the opportunity. This aligns perfectly to the direction of our practice being exercise-driven where suitable, and there are some exciting new opportunities as a result of working with CR Fitness including patient’s having discounted access to classes and discounted off-peak memberships.
➖
We will be holding appointments as normal at Active Arena until Saturday 27th January, and then the clinic will be closed from Sunday 28th January until Friday 2nd February to allow us enough time to get all our kit shifted across the city to the new site!
➖
So, from Friday 2nd February, our clinic will be at CR Fitness, Unit 6 Vulcan Park, George Street, Lincoln, LN5 8LG. It is across the railway line, so please account for potentially stopping at the railway for 5 minutes to ensure you are not late for appointments. In rush-hour periods, also account for some city-centre traffic!

Keep your eyes peeled for updates on how the move is going 👀

Previously struggled with wrist or elbow pain? Strengthening the surrounding musculature is a great way to reduce likelihood of injuries in these two joints! 💪🏼
➖
Quite simply you could start with using a variety of equipment and kit to strengthen the wrist flexors and extensors. Often, complaints at the elbow result from overload of the tendons of these muscles through sudden loading we aren’t accustomed to, so be nice and gradual with the amount of sets and reps, frequency and load used.
➖
We can then combine this with methods of improving grip strength, and can do this through loading various forms of grip - so get using different kit, from kettlebells to cables, from dumbbells to gripping bumper plates!
➖
There’s a tonne more options, too many to list here, so if you want to know more, fire me a message saying ‘GRIP’ and we can have a chat!

We see lots of different problems in our injury clinic, with most being from a sporting or activity-related cause. From ACL-reconstructions to that pesky general low back pain that affects a whole host of us, we can manage and have dealt with most musculoskeletal complaints, and use an active approach of exercise rehabilitation combined to get you back to function.

Having an operation for a musculoskeletal problem can be daunting and knowing what you should be focusing on in the early management is important.
➖
Our two top tips are:
1️⃣ do the basics well - don’t forget the importance of managing swelling at the joint and pain.
2️⃣ don’t get overwhelmed by all the things you can’t do, and speak with your therapist about what you can still do to maintain all the other athletic qualities available to you - this could endurance, strength of the other limb, anaerobic fitness and more!
