Last weekend saw Jack complete the Gritstone Trail 35 mile Ultra Run!

This run was self supported, in the build up to hopefully longer unsupported distances in the future.

It was difficult for the last 5 miles (following the final big hill climb), but overall pleased with performance, and was great to get a gauge of fitness levels and areas that need to be worked on.

More Hill repeats, and lots of unilateral leg strengthening work ahead!

One thing that was tested was the use of poles for the hills, and these made a huge difference.... Highly recommended!

It was great to have St. Hugh's School - Woodhall Spa sport scholars over at the clinic last week for an introductory education session on Sports Physio, injury risk and injury risk reduction in their age group and choosen sports!

I hope all the scholars enjoyed the session, and took away some useful information from the session which will help them reduce the risk of developing injuries, help identify when an injury may be developing, and what to do if faced with an injury.

Our Sports Scholarship pupils spent an afternoon at Woodhall Spa Physiotherapy & Sports Injuries Clinic to find out more about the work of physiotherapists working in a sport setting.

The Clinic’s Director and Clinical Lead, Jack Shaw, delivered a session on sports physiotherapy with a particular focus on how it applies to the Sports Scholars at their age and point in their sporting journey.

Along with a presentation and practical lesson pupils also toured the physio suite and gym which is based at Woodhall Spa Golf Club.

The Scholars are looking forward to a return visit when they will be taking part in a strength and conditioning session.

It has been fantastic to know and work alongside Richard Latham at Woodhall Spa Golf Club!

He gave the opportunity for Woodhall Spa Physiotherapy and Sports Injuries Clinic to become what it is today, for which we are very thankful.

We wish him all the best in his retirement, and may that be filled with plenty of Golf and writing about Golf!

Struggling with focus? Get out for a 20 minute walk to get that brain activity going again!

Not only does walking get the brain going, there are so many benefits both physically and mentally.

For the recreational runners!

Study on the effects of strength training and foam rolling on running related injuries in recreational runners.

Recreational runners - minimum of 15km / week for 12 months.

Performed strength exercises and foam rolling twice a week for 18 weeks.

Strength Exercise including:
- 1 leg squat
- Forward Lunges
- Banded side steps
- Banded Hip Abduction
- Side Plank

Foam Rolling applied to
- Hamstrings
- Quadriceps
- Gluteals
- Abductor Muscles
- Plantar Fascia
- Calf
- Tibialis Anterior

Resulted in reduction in injuries (85%) and increased days prior to injury (57 days) in the high compliance group!

It should be noted that only the high compliance group had a significant improvement compared to the control group. Showing low compliance with the strength training and foam rolling had no significant benefit.

If you have an injury or a ni**le, book in for an assessment and we can help you get on the road to recovery asap.

If you are interested in injury prevention techniques (i.e. strength training, foam rolling, training monitoring) but unsure where to start, book in and we can get you going with this too.
