And if it’s a muscle-skeletal problem strap yourself in for another part of this ride…
➡️ Gate keepers of NHS GP receptionists (300 calls)
➡️ Painkillers and anti-inflammatories (3 weeks)
➡️ Even stronger Painkiller and anti inflammatories Welcome to Zombie land (3 weeks)
➡️ X-ray (low priority 6/8 weeks)
➡️ The witch doctor at the local market (a runny tummy and sweats 🤣)
➡️ MSK outpatient referral (6/10 weeks)
❔Guess what
❕Most soft tissue injuries will be resolved by now but without the correct advice they’re de-conditioned and your risk of re-injury is high.
❔Want to just get back to health as soon as possible? Want the best management plan? Want to know what’s wrong and what to expect?
✅ Skip all the nonsense and see a professional ASAP.
😁 Your body deserves better

This short video is highlighting some of the early stages of Total Knee Replacement rehabilitration looks like. It's extremely important in the first 6-8 weeks to set the foundations of rehabilitation to set the patient up for long term success. All too often people are just set home from hospital with a sheet of exercises and no further input. This is a tradegy. The patinet doesn't know what to expect, their confidence drops and they sometimes end up with more mobility issues than they started with. So if you're not sure about your what you should be doing or you've had no advice whatsoever please feel free to give me a shout. Any family members that have been through this feel free to tag them in.

What’s it going to be?
If it’s the latter surround yourself with great people and an environment that can help. If you don’t have these you will find the strength inside. You are amazing.
✌🏽💪🏽🖖🏽
If it’s the former... find some great running shoes! 🤣

With everyone on limited exercise right now the main go to’s will be walking, running or riding a bike.

The biggest misconception is that running is easy and everyone can run.
This is not completely untrue however running is an art that takes mastery. Every healthy human being has the physiology to run however most of us run with lots of bad bio-mechanical habits. The main reasons for these are wearing the wrong shoes, not listening to what our bodies are telling us, not taking enough time to learn how to run and the most common running too much.
🥴😵😫
Running shouldn’t be a constant battle with your head, lungs and body it should be perfect union where they all work perfectly together and you almost feel like you could run forever.
🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏿‍♂️
This is massive a subject area that is too big to cover on a couple of posts but start by going for a run and really concentrating on what happens at your feet. Running technique needs to be practice far more than how far you can run.
The average athlete spends hours ‘training’ good technique so why don’t you need to?
Spend more time practising HOW to run and I guarantee before long you’ll run faster and longer with less injuries.
Soon as you start to run your body will naturally adopt a midfoot, footpad, heel strike then toe off pattern. It all goes very quickly. But if you’re a heel striker you’ve taught yourself a bad habit also if your heel never hits the ground this is inefficient also.
There’s a reason the Top 5 running injuries are all bio-mechanical.

Had my maiden ride on wow got to say great fun.
🚴🏾‍♂️
I’m someone that needs constant distraction or stimulation so I struggle with endurance training.
However this may change that. Great fun, competitive and interactive. Anyone out there want to do a group ride or a few races let me know. 🚴🏾‍♂️🚴🏽‍♀️🚵🏿‍♀️🚵🏿‍♀️
Ps nothing over an hour for those clowns that love those silly distances 🤣 I’ll do most things under 40km. Get at me.
Getting creative with this stay at home stuff. If you haven’t tried it get involved.

What’s that ni**le?


I would define a ni**le as something that doesn’t stop you training but always seems to be there in the background. Some days it bites you hard and other days you hardly feel it. Which is why the approach tends to be it’ll be ok (when it’s good) and I must get this sorted (when it’s bad) and these are momentary thoughts which go as quick as the pain itself. They don’t tend to impair you in your every day life and most of the time you can’t feel them hence why the can be around for years. But you never know what underlying damage they are causing. (Tendonopathies, capsule tears, arthritis etc).
So what are they?
They’re early signs of a few things
*bad technique*
*imbalances*
*fatigue*
*underlying damage*
*compensation patterns*
So now is a wonderful time to get on top of yours.
1. What your ni**le is? Where is it, when do you get it, how long does it last.

2. What’s causing yours? following are a few examples

Shoulder impingement can be,
bad technique, lack of mobility or anterior/posterior muscle imbalance.
Niggling knee pain when running can be,
Bad technique, fatigue, compensation patterns

3. How do I fix it? Sometimes disguised in our business as Prehab, supplementary work, accessory movements, mobility exercises

These are normally low load specific movements done with body weight, bands or small weights.
Now is that perfect time to get working on them.
In sport these are the things you never really see yet athletes spend hours doing them. Footballers (glute activations), gymnasts (ballistic stretching), golfers (back mobility) so on and so forth.
These take up massive amounts of time and are somewhat boring but they make a massive difference in your performance and we all have time on our hands at present.
This area is so vast I didn’t want to go into too much detail.
If a ni**le is left alone it can do some serious damage long term so why take the risk?
Any questions about your ni**le?
Not sure about yours?
Get asking.
There’s no such thing as a bad question.
Ask away.
