⭐️OSTEOARTHRITIS⭐️

Have you been told it’s osteoarthritis & you’re not really sure what that means?

You’re not the only one.

A lot of people hear the word arthritis & assume it means they need to stop exercising, slow right down, or just put up with the pain.

That’s usually not the case.

In this post we cover:
▫️What osteoarthritis actually is
▫️Which joints it commonly affects
▫️What genuinely helps
▫️Why movement matters more than most people think

Osteoarthritis is common. It can be sore & frustrating.
But there’s usually a lot that can be done to help you move better & feel more confident again.

"I had been suffering from back pain for quite some time and had started to become progressively worse. Kevin was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad I made the appointment.
Kevin put me at ease and was able to pinpoint straight away where and what the issue was and explaining all the time as he provided treatment. A few sessions later and along with some exercises to do at home, my back was much improved.

⭐️PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME⭐️

Pain in the bum that sometimes travels down the leg?

It could be piriformis syndrome. This is where a small muscle deep in the buttock irritates the sciatic nerve & causes pain through the glute & sometimes down the back of the leg.

In this post we cover:

▫️What piriformis syndrome actually is
▫️Why it can feel a lot like sciatica
▫️Common things that can flare it up
▫️What usually helps calm it down

⭐️ACHILLIES RUPTURE REPAIR⭐️

This patient was struggling to progress with rehab because full bodyweight loading was just too much too soon.

So we changed the environment.

By lying him down on the Reformer, we could reduce bodyweight demand & add resistance at a level his Achilles could actually tolerate. That meant we could start rebuilding strength, control & confidence without constantly flaring things up.

Fast forward….. & now he’s hopping.

The Reformer isn’t reserved for the “Insta Pilates” crowd. Used properly, it’s a brilliant rehab tool. Especially when we need to bridge the gap between early stage exercises & proper functional loading.

Smart rehab isn’t about making things look fancy. It’s about finding the right load, at the right time, for the person in front of us.

"I was recommended Kevin at Athletica as I was dissatisfied and lacked confidence in my NHS plan following an Achilles tendon rupture. Kevin transformed my attitude from the first consultation. A really clear plan, an honest appraisal and a good rapport. I just finished my time with him after 5 months of work. I have just completed an outdoor 5k run some 6-8 weeks ahead of schedule. Hugely grateful and impressed." says K on Google
