A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our Charity HYROX sim today 💙
All in support of MAGPAS Air Ambulance.

We’ve raised somewhere in the region of £1,000, which is incredible.

What we love most is seeing people from all backgrounds, ages, and fitness levels taking on the sprint.
Our format is built so everyone can get involved.

We’re already looking forward to the next one.

Save the date for 4th July where we look to really turn it up a notch. Bringing fun and fitness to even more people, and all for great causes.

Here is an infographic displaying what children’s injuries I have treated over the months leading up to the New Year.
Below is some information regarding some issues I have come across both online and in person.

They age from 8-17
79 in total
21 Severs Disease - Numerous Solemaids insoles provided.
7 Ankle/foot non severs
15 Knee issues
5 Hamstring
3 Hip issue
4 Calf issues
4 Concussion’s
3 Groin/Adductor issues
7 Quad/Thigh problems
6 Upper back or neck related
2 Shoulder issues
2 Wrist problem

75 out of 79 play some form of sport, or have a hobby its affecting. Predominately football. But it also includes swimming, athletics, tennis, rugby, playing a musical instrument, gymnastics and competitive video gaming.

57 out of 79 are boys.

Over 60/79 play football amongst other sports.

21/23 children who present with severs disease play football (non kicking foot mainly). 22/23 were boys.

13/15 knee issues are female. 6 ACL issues included in this.

Over half the girls I have seen have knee issues! And many others had quad/thigh problems.

3 injuries were broken bones.

I have been putting these infographics together for several years based on what I see in clinic. It’s evident to see that boys have far more heel issues, and females have more knee issues.

Would you like me to put together any information on specific injuries?

Many of these issues can be prevented, or even the severity reduced with the right advice, load management and training. If your child is currently suffering from pain or an injury please get in touch. I can help you!

Merry Christmas to everyone I’ve had the pleasure of working with this year. It’s been the busiest and most enjoyable one yet.

Thank you for your continued support. It’s been a great year, working on so many different projects and learning plenty along the way.

I’m now taking a short break until Friday 2nd January, but I’m already looking forward to what the new year brings.

Have a brilliant Christmas, and I’ll see you all in the New Year.

A very windy one in Ely for the Half Marathon today! Great seeing some of my clients taking part too over the different distances.

Always nice having my biggest cheerleader (the wife Emma!) at the finish line, along with the kids.

Well done to everyone today whether you took part running, or was helping out. Awesome having these events on our doorstep 😀

A fantastic achievement. Giving children & teenagers the chance to be involved in using the gym.

Luckily as part of my job working with people of all ages my clients have access to these great facilities. Whether it be for injury, rehab or performance based training.

I have been able to expand this to further. Kids can now train. Whether it be for fun, to improve their sport or make themselves bulletproof for anything life throws at them 😀

I truly love what I do ❤️

Things have heated up and this weekend looks like a scorcher! Firstly please check on your elderly & vulnerable neighbours over the next few days! You know how those older folk love a cardigan even in the summer..

Here are some tips to help you stay hydrated 🙂

1. Drink a glass first thing in the morning.
Im always thirsty when I get up and a simple was of increasing your fluid is to simply drink a glass of water first thing. You can even keep one next to your bed ready for when you wake up.

2. Keep a water bottle with you at all times.
Keep a bottle of water with you and sip on it regularly throughout the day. I have purchased one of those gallon jugs which I keep at my desk. It's a good way of also tracking how much fluid you have taken in. If you work in an office and do an 8 hour shift for example, aim to finish it by the time you're leaving to go home.

3. Have a drink with you when exercising.
Always ensure you take a drink with you when you exercise. Being a little dehydrated can seriously effect your workout and really make your performance suffer!

4. Use electrolytes! These have gained a lot of popularity recently. They come in all kinds of wonderful flavours now, so the choice is massive. I personally use them, and will start the date with some, as well as use them around training. If you want more information feel free to reach out.

5. Naturally flavour your water
For those who hate plain water you can infuse it with lemon, berries or anything that takes your fancy. Just pop in what you want and leave it over night. This could also help you stay away from sugary drinks.

6. Set a reminder.
It's easy to forget to drink, we all do it. You can set a phone reminder or even download apps to remind you to drink! No excuses ha

7. Eat more fruits and veggies.
Eat your fruits and vegetables as these are high in water swell as vitamins and minerals.

8. If you're unsure about how much fluid to take on board. I try and stick to the 1 litre per 20kg of bodyweight rule (in my opinion)

Keep safe guys!

Today I want to celebrate one of my own child's achievements.

My daughter Mollie has recently taken up weightlifting, as part of the youth gym at and is loving it.

She decided to enter Soham Strength Challenge at the last minute, to see what she could do. She managed to achieve a PB of 55kg on the deadlift and had plenty more left in the tank!

I am extremely proud of her, and am over the moon that she has fallen in love with lifting heavy things.

Thank you for the awesome photos.
