🍑 GLUTES. ARE. GONE. 🍑

I always tell my patients, “You’ll thank me later”… well, today I’m the one needing an ice pack and a pep talk. 🥲🔥

After a seriously hectic leg session on Monday, my glutes have officially left the chat.
Walking? Optional. Sitting? Painful. Stairs? Absolutely not. 😂

But honestly… I loved every second. Nothing like getting a taste of my own medicine to remind me how real the burn is! 💪🔥

Shoutout to Cals for keeping me strong (and slightly broken).
Here’s to stronger glutes and questionable life choices! 🤣🍑

💥 Chronic pain doesn’t have to control your life.

Whether it’s arthritis, back pain, or postural issues, Biokineticists use exercise as therapy to reduce pain and improve movement. By identifying weak or imbalanced muscles, we help retrain the body to move correctly - restoring strength and stability.

Pain-free living starts with better movement.

🦽 Movement After Spinal Injury Matters
Living with a spinal cord injury brings unique challenges - from reduced mobility to managing muscle spasticity and preventing secondary complications. But movement is still possible, and it’s one of the most powerful tools for maintaining health and independence.

Biokineticists specialise in creating safe, adapted exercise programmes for people with paraplegia and other spinal cord injuries. These programmes focus on:
✨ Building and maintaining muscle strength
✨ Improving circulation and joint health
✨ Managing spasticity and pain
✨ Enhancing functional ability for everyday independence

Every session is carefully designed to meet each individual’s needs, ensuring safety while maximising physical potential. Beyond the body, exercise also supports mental well-being and confidence - helping patients take back control of their lives.

📢Among high‑risk survivors adhering to ACS and AICR guidelines (which include regular physical activity), a recent JAMA Network Open observational study found a 37% reduction in disease recurrence and a 58% decrease in mortality.

Survivors meeting the recommended 150 minutes/week moderate activity both before diagnosis and two years post-treatment saw a 55% lower recurrence risk and 68% lower all‑cause mortality compared to those who didn’t meet guidelines.

Exercise is medicine.

I repeat “EXERCISE IS MEDICINE!”
