It’s so worrying to hear of more cuts to NHS I think services are tighter and tighter compared to what we had 25 years ago. Physio rehab is just not prioritised and people are facing more long term disabilities because of it. Keeping people moving well is fundamental to long term health. Rehab isn’t optional it’s essential.

The world health organisation defines health as a state of physical, mental and social wellbeing…… Gyms are a great way to improve all three. Get in touch if you need help returning to exercise or learning what you can do to keep healthy.

Gyms are no longer a place to just work out. Instead more young people are joining them to make new friends and be a part of a community, rather than just getting active. Read more about the reasons why here: https://bit.ly/3XNbTwZ

The sun is out! Go and grab yourself some Vitamin D? 😎

Getting outside in the sun offers numerous health benefits, including an improved mood, decreased stress, and reduced feelings of fatigue.

Just don't forget your SPF ☀️

Paddler specific anterior shoulder pain.

This is a good video to show how the anterior shoulder can get overloaded from paddling.

https://youtu.be/WNWCELwUTms

However it’s not just internal rotation deficit that overloads it can also happen if you’re over protracted through over reaching (because you’ve been taught to lengthen your stroke), or over loading through the down pressure at the catch (normally too big a blade) that’s all to do with timing muscle balance and control or you’re too tight in the anterior chest wall because of over training or not appropriately maintaining a healthy muscle balance.

*So we can help with manual therapy to reduce internal rotation deficit.

*Stretching and soft tissue release to prevent tightening that pulls the ball forward in the socket.

*Video analysis to see how and where you become overloaded

*Proprioceptive rehab

*Strength and conditioning for sport specific drills

*Injury prevention to counteract training overload.

If you need some help we offer sports specific sessions virtually, on the water or in the gym or clinic settings.
