Jack James whiteley arrived weighing 8lb 3oz.
I know a lot of my patients have been keen to be kept informed of the arrival of baby Whiteley so I thought a departure from my usual posts would be in order!!

Did you know that something as simple as a tennis ball can help you relieve back pain? Rolling a tennis ball under your feet helps loosen tight muscles and tendons, not just in your feet, but also in your back and hamstrings. This simple act stimulates circulation and helps reduce tension, making it an easy way to alleviate discomfort.

It’s an effective and inexpensive method that can be done at home or on the go. This technique also promotes better flexibility and supports overall muscle health by releasing built-up tension in areas that are often neglected. Regular practice can lead to significant improvements in your posture and pain management.

Next time you're feeling tight, grab a tennis ball and give this method a try. You might be surprised by how much relief it brings! 🎾🦶

It’s a useful article. As it points out, a brace can be helpful but is best used in conjunction with physio. If you’re suffering from tennis elbow (or golfer’s elbow), call or text now on 07882508822 email james@jameswhiteleyphysiotherapy.co.uk or book online. I will fully assess the problem and tailor a treatment approach to your needs.
