🦶 Fun Fact Friday: Your Achilles tendon can handle 6–8× your bodyweight when you run!

That’s why tendons need progressive loading (not just stretching).

Try this mini-strength set:

• Heel raises knee straight (gastrocnemius) – 3×8–12
• Heel raises knee bent (soleus) – 3×8–12
• Slow tempo: 3s up, 3s down. Progress to single-leg or add a backpack when comfy.

Got a ni**le? We can help with assessment, rehab planning, sports massage, or shockwave (when appropriate).

Stiff neck/shoulders from desk work?

Try this quick reset:

• 5x chin tucks (don’t poke the chin)
• 5x shoulder blade squeezes (2 second hold)
• 5x thoracic rotations each side
• 5x sit-to-stands

Do it 2–3 times a day = big gains in comfort & focus.

Need a plan that sticks? Try our therapist-led Pilates (mat, chair & standing).

Persistent tendon pain?

Shockwave can help jump-start recovery for:

• Achilles tendinopathy
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tennis/golfer’s elbow
• Gluteal/hip tendinopathy

Why we use it: non-invasive, targets stubborn pain, pairs brilliantly with rehab exercises.

🦶 Plantar Fasciitis? Here’s what actually helps
Heel pain first thing in the morning or after standing? You’re not alone - and you can fix it.

What the evidence says:

• Stretching works -calf/Achilles + plantar fascia stretches ease pain and improve walking.
• Strength + control help - foot/ankle strengthening beats stretching alone.
• Support matters - taping, decent footwear, and (when needed) orthotics = great short–mid term relief.

Try this 5-minute starter:

Plantar fascia stretch (seated, pull toes back) – 3×30s/side
Calf stretch (knee straight + bent) – 3×30s each
Towel scrunches / short-foot – 2×12–15 reps

Small daily doses → big gains over time.

Struggling or stuck? We’ll assess, treat and build you a plan that lasts.

Feeling a bit wobbly lately? Try this quick self-check:

Stand on one leg (near a support).

Hold for up to 60s. Switch sides.

Repeat with a soft knee bend.

👉 If you feel unsteady, that’s your sign to work on strength & balance.

We can help with therapist-led Pilates (mat, chair & standing) and 1:1 physio/sports therapy to build stability, confidence and control.
