20.01.2022 What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist? And who should your child see? Although Physiotherapists and Occupational therapists overlap in some settings they also have many differences. Therefore it is important to understand the role of the two therapists to enable your child to receive optimum results for their needs to reach full potential into adulthood. A Physiotherapist’s role is focused on the child’s ability to perform movement of the... human body. Whether this be an injury or disability the PT will often develop a program to help increase strength, balance, improve posture, coordination, gross motor skills and joint range of motion. As well as decreasing pain and the possibility to prevent surgery. Occupational Therapists will treat the child as a whole and help the child fully engage in daily life. Whether this be slow development or a disability the OT will focus on improving cognitive skills, fine motor skills, social skills, handwriting and overall daily living tasks that are going to help the child reach optimum engagement in life.

09.01.2022 I have dropped a size, but the number is still the same on the scale? This is because muscle weighs more than fat! Fat helps insulate the body and traps heat, while muscle boosts your metabolism - this means the more muscle you have the more energy you burn when you are at rest - meaning you can eat more food and not put on weight!! (Just another reason to love weight training).... Research has found that the percentage of body fat increases your risk of overall death regardless of your weight. E.g. the term skinny fat, Meaning even those with a low body weight but poor muscle to fat ratio are at risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. This is why progress photos, skin folds and other methods of measuring progress of muscle tone are just as important as measuring weight when training.

08.01.2022 Alcohol has some detrimental effects however, effects can be minimised to allow you to include alcohol in your diet without sabotaging your progress. After consuming alcohol, it enters the stomach and small intestine, where its transported to the blood vessels and moves into your bloodstream. In this process, approximately 20% of the alcohol is absorbed through the stomach and the remaining 80% is absorbed by the small intestine. Alcohol is processed by the liver and broken ...down into a substance called acetate. Acetate is a toxin, as a result your body prioritises the metabolism of alcohol above everything else. Therefore the digestion of food is halted until all the alcohol has been cleared. Directly after training your body needs food to refuel and recover, drinking alcohol minimises the body's ability to do this effectively. Alcohol also leads to further dehydration. Therefore alcohol consumption following training has been shown to increase cortisol and testosterone levels and decrease muscle protein synthesis. As a result long-term muscular adaptations could be impaired if alcohol consumption during recovery is consistent.
