⭐️OSGOOD SCHLATTERS⭐️

Osgood Schlatter’s is one of the most common causes of knee pain in growing children. We see it all the time in clinic, & know exactly how to support your child through it.

It’s linked to growth spurts, when the bones grow quickly but the muscles and tendons haven’t quite caught up.

▫️You’ll usually see pain or swelling just below the kneecap
▫️It often flares during or after sport
▫️It’s very treatable & not something to panic about

The goal isn’t to stop all activity. It’s to help them keep moving safely, manage pain, & support development, without missing out on what they love doing.

📍 If your child is struggling with knee pain, we can help. Book in via the link in our bio or drop us a message.

⭐️INJURY PREVENTION FOR HOCKEY PLAYERS⭐️

Hockey season is properly underway, and some of those little aches and pains might be rearing their head again. Here are some Pilates based exercises to help you stay injury free 💪

✨Spinal extension for spinal protection - back injuries are common in hockey due to positional demand. Protect your spine!

🏑Side kick level 1 for glute activation - this is where you generate power for sprinting and protecting the knee from rotational forces

✨Swimming level 1 for posterior sling activation - this simple movement fires up all of the muscles in the back of your body that are responsible for control and power

🏑Floating Superman for advanced posterior sling activation - this more advanced version of the swimming exercise incorporates core stability also making the challenge harder but oh so worth it!

✨Lunge with twist for power & control - in hockey how often are we on one leg and rotating at the same time? To execute the movement well we need to practice. This is the perfect functional exercise for the hockey player to take into the gym

Are injuries holding you back? Let’s get you back to your best 💪

"I'm really pleased that friends recommended Athletica to me when pains began in my right hip.
I was a little apprehensive about my first visit to a physiotherapist, but Dr Vani Grewal was very pleasant and easy to talk to. Her assessment of the problem was very thorough, and the programme of exercises that she prescribed brought about an improvement surprisingly quickly. Three weeks on, the pains have gone and I am.." says Alison on Google
