“I was told to just keep stretching it… but it’s not helping.”

Sound familiar?

If you’ve strained a muscle, hammering it with stretching early on can actually delay recovery. A muscle strain is damaged fibres. Constant stretching before the tissue has settled just keeps poking the problem.

Stretching isn’t bad. But blind stretching is.

At Sports Physio UK Slaithwaite, we don’t do blanket advice.
🧠 We assess properly.
🔍 We work out what structure is actually involved.
🏃‍♀️ We look at how the injury happened.
💪 We build a progressive rehab plan that fits you.

Sometimes the answer isn’t stretching at all.
Sometimes it’s strength.
Sometimes it’s load management.
Sometimes it’s fixing something else entirely.

If you’ve been “stretching it out” for weeks and it’s still there, that’s your cue to change approach.
Let’s get you moving forward again.

🤣We thought waiting lists were bad… but an appointment in 2099 takes the crown 😂

We’ve seen some long waits for hospital physio before, but this one genuinely made us double check the calendar.

You want help this week. At Sports Physio UK Slaithwaite, we can usually see you within a few days.

🏃 Running injuries
🚴 Cycling and sports rehab

We assess properly, explain clearly and get you moving again with a structured plan. No vague leaflets. No endless waiting.

If you’ve been told to sit tight for months, there is another option.

And it definitely doesn’t involve waiting until 2099.

🦷 Brush your teeth. Stand on one leg. Help your whole body. 🦷

Sounds daft? Stay with me.

Standing on one leg while brushing your teeth is a quick daily win for your body, and it takes exactly zero extra time.

Why it works;
🧠 Improves balance by challenging your nervous system
🦴 Strengthens hips, knees and ankles, key joints for everyday movement.
💪 Engages your core, without you even thinking about it.
🧓 Reduces fall risk as we age by training single-leg control.
🏃 Transfers to sport, running, walking, stairs, everything starts on one leg.

We spend most of life on one leg at a time. Walking, running, climbing stairs, even getting dressed. Yet we rarely train it.

This is sneaky rehab.
This is preventative physio.
This is brushing your teeth with purpose.

💡 Pro tips;
➡️ Switch legs halfway through
➡️ Make it harder by closing your eyes
➡️ Wobbling is good, falling into the sink is not

Small habits. Big return on investment. That’s how resilient bodies are built.

If balance, stability or joint confidence is something you’re struggling with, we do far more than sink-side exercises.

🧠 Torn a muscle? Resting and rehabilitation are not the same thing 🧠

Muscle injuries heal through biological stages:
🩸 Inflammation
🧱 Tissue repair
🏗️ Structural remodelling

Rest helps calm symptoms early, but rest alone does not optimise healing.

Without guided physiotherapy:
⚠️ Scar tissue forms with reduced quality
⚠️ Strength and load tolerance remain compromised
⚠️ Re-injury risk rises when normal activity resumes

At our physiotherapy clinic in Slaithwaite, muscle tear rehabilitation is built around mechanical stimulus, not guesswork.
👋 Hands-on treatment supports tissue glide, circulation, and reduces excessive muscle tone.
🏋️ Structured strength and loading, introduced progressively, improves fibre organisation, restores function, and rebuilds confidence in movement.

This approach:
📈 Enhances tissue resilience
⚖️ Restores real-world strength
🧠 Improves neuromuscular control

Pain settling is just one milestone. True recovery means the muscle can tolerate load again.

💥 Pulled or torn a muscle?💥

It’s more than just soreness.

A muscle tear happens when fibres overload and fail. The body responds with swelling, pain, and weakness. Healing starts naturally, but without guidance, the muscle often heals weaker or stiffer than before.

👀 What we assess: 👀
🧠 How and why the injury happened
🔍 Severity of the tear
⚖️ Strength deficits and movement compensation

🛠️ How we fix it:
💪 Progressive rehab, not guesswork
📊 Targeted loading to stimulate proper healing
🏃 Return to activity with confidence, not crossed fingers

⏭️ Coming tomorrow ⏭️
Rest versus rehab. One sounds sensible, the other actually works. We’ll explain why.

“Just pop some ice on it.”

Right...How far are we taking this advice? 😂
Ice pack?
Frozen peas?
Full Arctic expedition?

Ice has its place, short term, specific situations, specific injuries.

But pain is rarely that simple.
❌️Not all pain equals inflammation.
❌️Not all injuries need icing.
❌️And no one has ever fixed a long term problem by living next to the freezer.

At Sports Physio UK Slaithwaite, we focus on why something hurts, not just how cold we can make it.
Proper assessment, clear explanation, hands on treatment, and a plan that actually moves you forward.

Because if ice alone worked… we’d all be healed by winter!

If something’s been hanging around longer than it should, let’s get eyes on it.

🖐️ “You’ve got Mr Miyagi Hands" But why? Can you work out the answer? 🖐

Words every practitioner smiles at. But this case was more interesting than that. Being told you completed magic feels good, but really, we just do our job!

A mid-30s female police officer came into clinic yesterday, after a fall around four weeks ago. During the fall she injured her right hand and finger.
✔️X-rays done.
✔️Medical assessment done.
😞Conclusion, soft tissue injury, rest it and let it settle.

She did exactly what the doctors told her but the pain didn’t settle.
😩Weakness persisted.
😩Movement reduced.
😩Frustration growing.
😩She couldn’t fully curl her first finger.
😩She couldn’t bring it down to the base of the thumb.
😩Grip was weak.
😩And crucially, it was starting to affect her job.

Having been to clinic previously, she knew something wasn’t right and booked in.

The assessment had to start with the history. Ideally, knowing how she landed or how the finger moved during the fall would have given clues to the mechanism. Unfortunately, she couldn’t recall that detail. So instead, we went full detective mode.
🧠 Detailed history
🦴 Bony assessment
🤲 Ligaments
🧵 Tendons
💪 Muscle function and strength
⚡ Sensation and neural input

The finger was significantly weak. She could only curl it about 50 percent. She couldn’t touch the base of the thumb. She couldn’t hold or squeeze an object under that finger.

Scott knew what was happening! New where to go next.
So then came treatment.

And here’s the cool and interesting bit.
After around 20 minutes, she could
✔️ Fully curl the finger
✔️ Touch the base of the thumb
✔️ Squeeze and grip objects
✔️ Move the finger freely again
Things that were impossible 20 minutes earlier.
So here’s the question...

Where do you think Scott treated to get that result?
Was it the finger?
Or somewhere else entirely? If so, where?
Drop your thoughts in the comments.

I’ll reveal the answer in the next post and likely a short video to break down the why behind it, because this one’s a great example of why pain and weakness aren’t always coming from where you think they are.

Sometimes it’s not magic hands. It’s just understanding how the body actually works.

❓️❓️❓️❓️
So, where did Scott treat? And if your confident enough, what do you think Scott did treatment/modality wise?

💪Sometimes the best physio decision is knowing when to bring another professional into the picture.💪

At Sports Physio UK Slaithwaite, we treat the whole person, not just the painful area.

Over the last three weeks, we’ve referred two patients on to Slaithwaite Foot Clinic when it became clear that foot mechanics were influencing ankle, knee, hip and back symptoms.

Both patients have since returned to us with fantastic feedback.

✅️ Clear assessments,
✅️ expert input,
✅️ and treatment that genuinely supported their recovery.

This is exactly how modern healthcare should work.
Physiotherapy doesn’t exist in isolation. Sometimes the fastest route to progress is collaboration with trusted local professionals who are exceptional at what they do.
No ego. No territory guarding.

Just the right care, at the right time, for the best outcome.
That’s how we do things in Slaithwaite.
