If you’ve ever felt ‘weak’ in an area… read this

Clients often tell me:
“My core’s weak.”
“My glutes are weak.”

Here’s the thing - most of the time, it’s not weakness.

It’s a lack of coordination. Your brain isn’t switching on that muscle properly.
Once we re-train that link, it’s surprising how fast it changes.

That might be a simple activation drill.
Or a tweak to your movement pattern.
Or even just showing your body it’s safe to use that muscle again.

So before you label yourself as “weak,” ask:
Have I actually tested this properly?
Or is it just switched off?

If you want me to show you the difference, pop into clinic and we’ll find out.

Which muscle group do you think is your “weak spot”?

“I’ve tried everything before, nothing works for me”

I hear this a lot.
GP. Physio. Massage. Stretches from YouTube.
And you’re still in pain.

That doesn’t mean your body can’t change.
It usually means the full picture hasn’t been looked at.

Because pain doesn’t always come from the spot that hurts.
Back pain can come from your hips.
Knee pain can come from your ankle.

That’s why I never just treat the sore bit.
I look at the whole story, your movement, your history, your strength, your coordination.

If no one’s done that for you before… you haven’t really tried everything.

Message me “INFO” if you want to see what’s really going on.

“What if this is just my life now?”

I hear this all the time in clinic.
Someone comes in with back pain, shoulder pain, whatever it is. And they say quietly…
“What if this is just me now?”

It’s not just pain.
It’s the fear of being stuck with it forever.
The fear of losing independence.
The fear of missing out on things you love.

And that fear is worse than the pain itself.

Here’s the truth - your body isn’t broken. It can adapt, heal, get stronger. But you’ve got to give it the right input. The right movement. The right plan.

So if you’re sat there in Worcester thinking “maybe this is just my normal now”… ask yourself this:
What’s the cost of not fixing it?
What’s the cost of giving up things you love at 30, 40, 50 years old?

It’s not about pain. It’s about life.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking this?

5 ways to tell if your pain isn’t just going to ‘go away’

People often hope pain will just vanish if they wait long enough.
Sometimes it does.
But often… it doesn’t.

Here are 5 signs you probably need to do something about it:

1️⃣ You’ve had it more than 2 weeks with no real change.
2️⃣ It eases with rest but flares the second you’re active again.
3️⃣ You’ve already stopped doing certain movements because of it.
4️⃣ You’ve tried “just stretching” but it always comes back.
5️⃣ You’ve noticed weakness or stiffness building in the area.

Pain hanging around isn’t just about discomfort.
It’s about what it starts to take away from your day.

Leave it long enough, and you don’t just have pain. You have lost strength, lost mobility, lost confidence.

If you’re in that “wait and see” stage… how’s that working so far?

What’s been your longest-running ache or pain?

HAPPY NEW YEAR RUNNERS! 🎉

What are your running goals for this year? Are you training for a marathon or just want to get back into running?

If you’re new to running, I strongly recommend the “walk, run, walk” technique to get you started.

With this technique, you can start off by walking for 1 minute, running for a minute and then walking, and carrying on for as long as you want.

Don’t over think it, just get out there and start a great hobby for 2025! (Maybe once it’s a bit warmer outside though 😅)

Let’s have a great year!

Our whole lives we’ve been told to “sit up straight” and “stop slouching” by our parents, teachers and our physios.

But if we sit up straight all day, the muscles in our back can over-work and become fatigued. This can lead to stiffness and pain.

The body loves to move, this is one of the reasons why we fidget.

Every now and then we can slouch to relax and lengthen the muscles in the back. Try slouching as shown here, try to slow down your breathing as well to really get that relaxation into the body.

And don’t forget to fidget and try other sitting positions throughout the day too.

And of course, get up and move around as much as possible!

Today was my first gym session for 3 weeks as I was away on holiday.

And to describe it in one word: Ouch! 😅

For anyone who exercises regularly, you know that first session back is so difficult. You feel weaker, less motivated, and you know you’re gonna feel sore in the morning.

My advice for those getting back to exercise after a long time off because of a holiday, or an injury, or if you’re just starting out at the gym:

Aim to do 3 exercises, then leave.

It doesn’t sound like much, but having an easily achievable goal can motivate you to get yourself to the gym, do your 3 exercises and feel accomplished for the day.

You might find that once you’ve done the 3 exercises, you have some energy to do a little more.

Then the next couple workouts will get easier.

Give it a go and see how you get on.

Swipe to see what happened when I got home from the gym 😅

What type of massage should you get?

I get asked by new clients what type of massage I do and what they should be looking for. It can get quite confusing when searching for the right treatment for you.

In today's article I talk about the causes of sciatica, what it is and a couple of tips on how to relieve the severe pain that come with sciatica.

Sciatica pain is very common so share with your friends to help them out 😃

Read the article here: https://jcinjuryclinic.com/2021/08/12/159/

Sciatica has always been a common term for as long as I can remember. Patients will have either been told they have sciatica, or they have googled their symptoms and have self-diagnosed themselves …
