It's important to warm up your muscles before exercising or playing sports. Stretching increases blood flow and flexibility - which can help prevent muscle strains and sprains - and also improves muscle elasticity and reduces muscle tension.

If done properly, stretching can also result in increased flexibility, improved posture, enhanced athletic performance, and stress relief. Most S&C Coaches think improving flexibility can help improve running speed ~ according to Dr Escher.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist. It happens when the median nerve—which runs from your forearm into your palm—gets compressed inside the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist.

Symptoms often start gradually and may include:
- Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger
- Hand or wrist pain, especially at night
- Weak grip or dropping objects
- A burning or electric sensation in the hand
Symptoms can worsen if left untreated.

You can lower your risk by:
- Taking regular breaks from repetitive tasks
- Keeping wrists in a neutral position
- Using ergonomic tools
- Stretching hands and wrists daily

March 7th, I have decided to take on an exciting challenge—Climbing the O2— to raise money and awareness for a cause that means a lot to me: the Epilepsy Society.

Epilepsy affects more than half a million people in the UK, yet it’s still surrounded by misunderstanding and stigma. The Epilepsy Society provides life-changing support, pioneering research, and vital care for those living with the condition, as well as their families. Every donation helps them continue their incredible work—improving lives, advancing treatments, and offering hope to so many.

By climbing the O2, I want to show my support, raise awareness, and do my part to help make a difference. Any donation, big or small, will genuinely make an impact. Even sharing this page helps

Not all back pain is “normal.” Some symptoms can signal something more serious and shouldn’t be ignored. This guide highlights key red flags—including worsening pain, nerve symptoms, bladder or bowel changes, trauma, and unexplained weight loss—that require urgent medical review.

If you or someone you know recognises any of these signs, seek medical advice promptly. Early assessment can make all the difference.

Walking is one of the simplest and most accessible forms of physical activity, yet it offers a wide range of benefits for both physical and mental health: Even short daily walks—such as 20–30 minutes—can make a meaningful difference. Whether for fitness, mental clarity, or general well-being, walking is a powerful habit with lasting benefits.

✨Enhances cognitive function: Regular walking is linked to better memory, focus, and overall brain health.
✨Promotes better sleep: Regular walking can help improve sleep quality and regulate sleep patterns.
✨Reduces stress and anxiety: Walking—particularly outdoors—can calm the mind and lower stress hormones.
✨Improves mood: Physical movement triggers the release of endorphins, which can reduce symptoms of depression.
✨Strengthens muscles and bones: It tones leg and core muscles and helps maintain bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
✨Improves heart health: Regular walking helps lower blood pressure, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
✨Supports weight management: Walking burns calories and boosts metabolism, helping with weight control when done consistently.
