24.01.2022 The single-leg deadlift is a huge bang for buck exercise. It works the glute power into hip extension but works them hard to counteract rotation. This is known as hip stability - their ability to resist and control the hip against certain forces.... Let's not forget the upper body grip and lower body balance All the while loading the spine to HALF the normal load it would take vs a conventional deadlift. Technique Tips: - Hold 2 kettlebells with a strong grip - Pack you shoulders - Hinge through your hips with a soft slightly bent knee - The leg you are lifting shoulder be straight Shift your hips and body weight backward so your weight is on your heel not your toes. Breath steadily, slow and steady with the movement No back pain should be felt, do not bend your stance knee too much. Are you having trouble with this exercise? Our Physio team are here to help, we not only know how to coach this exercise but we can develop a Hip Strength Program to help with lower back or knee niggles.

24.01.2022 The Pallof Press is an amazing core exercise that is a welcome addition to anyone's program. It works your obliques and also your shoulders too. The beauty of the Pallof Press is that it challenges the core without moving the spine.... This can be easily made easier or harder by selecting different weights on the cable machine or you can use a powerband. Pallof Technique Tips: - Initially choose a lighter weight for the first time - Feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart - Hold the cable in both hands - Slowly press the cable forward with both hands to challenge the core Keep your trunk and legs stationary - resist the rotation that the cable machine is going to provide Hold for 5 seconds. Working up to 20 seconds No rounding your back - stay upright If you have any questions about the Pallof Press or other core exercises, our Physio team is here to help.

23.01.2022 Squatting to a box ?? Yep, that's right. Read more to find out why Box Squats may be right for you. A full deep Squat can be a tricky lift to master as a few things need to happen to be successful. The basics you need:... 1 Decent mobility in your hips and ankles to get depth. 2 Balance at the bottom of your squat so you don't fall over. If you are missing one or both of the above then the "Box Squat" may be your saving grace So how does a box squat help Great question, it helps in a couple of ways. Think of the box as being your squat depth limiter. If you have severely limited ankle or hip limitations the box can be set up to the height where you can maintain great squat technique. If your balance becomes a problem the deeper you go into a squat - this is when you feel like you are falling backward, you want to shoot your arms in front of you, your knees come together. If this is the case the box is used as a teaching tool to get you confident and comfortable at higher squat heights first. As you get more confident and your technique improves - you lower the box To add some load you can hold a kettle of dumbbell in front of you. I hope you found this useful, we will add a more advanced version of this in future technique tips.

22.01.2022 Lock down Update 6:30am Monday 1st Feb. Fieldwork can provide Telehealth services only.

21.01.2022 Breathing is obviously very important to make sure you don't... well... you know... We all know it's critical to daily life. But who has actually taken the time to learn how to use it effectively.... Breathing is one way we can control our nervous system It can help you get out of "Fight or Flight " mode and back into "Rest and Digest " Quick tip... "Rest and Digest" is where you want to be for most of the day Unfortunately in our modern, always-connected, busy lives, this is seldom the case. Breathing is one of many ways to help us get out of "Fight or Flight" Crocodile breathing is one easy way to get started. Technique Tips: - Lay face down on a comfortable surface - Hands under your forehead - Relax your arms and legs Slowly inhale by pushing your belly button into the floor. This will feel as though your lower back is lifting and falling with each breath Breath steadily starting with 30 - 60 seconds - working your way up to what you feel comfortable No tensing your neck or shoulders No need to deep breath. Normal breaths are fine. Are you after more tips about breathing? Our Physio team can take a look and give you some tips.

20.01.2022 If you have limited Overhead Shoulder Mobility but you still want to safely workout your overhead press? Then the Landmine Press may not be a bad option for you. Especially if you do not have access to an incline bench. Using the barbell in a Torsinator (hinge device) like in the video can open up a lot of doors to get get some strength gains overhead while you are working on improving your overhead mobility.... Technique Tips: - Half kneel on the same knee you are overhead pressing with - Start with the barbell just touching the top of your pec - Press the barbell overhead - the bar path will be up and forward. Press overhead smoothly Even tempo up and down Do not let you lower back overextend at the top of the press You can use a lighter 8kg or 15kg barbell if the standard 20kg Barbell is too heavy. No heavy enough? Add some weight plates

19.01.2022 The adductors can be a tricky place release except if you have the right tool for the job. The Alpha Ball is larger then your normal trigger ball and it is dense yet slightly soft. It is great for getting into bigger muscle groups just like your adductors.... The adductor magnus is great to release if your adductors get tight at the bottom of the squat. How To: - Find a flat surface that is sitting height - Place the Aplha Ball under your adductor - Lean slighty forward and place your hands on the box / bench you are sitting on - Lift your bottom off the floor Find all of the trigger points in your adductor Hold for 5 20 seconds on each trigger point No *PAIN* should be felt only pressure. Are you after a more tailored approach to your mobility? Our Physio team can develop a mobility program specific to your needs.

13.01.2022 Lower Back feeling a little bit tight? Using a trigger ball to release a muscle called your QL (Quadratus Lumborum) is a nice way to give you some short term relief Your QL is located to the left and right side of your lower back.... It has quite the trigger point in the middle of the outside area of it. Those people that have had this released before know what I am talking about. Mobility Tips - Lay on your back with hips bent and feet on floor - Place the trigger ball into one side of your lower back - Rock your knees slowly from left to right to place more or less pressure on the ball Move the ball higher or lower along the QL to release other areas Breath steadily Hold for 2-5 seconds. Rocking knees steadily. No pain should be felt. If you are still having issues with your lower back tightness your QL may not be the issue.

Ok lets get you up to date with the actions we have taken immediately as this affects all services and current clients of Fieldwork Health. 1 Closing down Remedial Massage and Alter G for this week.

We apologise to all of our massage and Alter G clients that were booked in this week, we will get in contact soon about rescheduling your appointment. 2 Face Masks are mandatory on all Clients, FWH Clinicians and Support teams. This is to keep you and our team safe during this lockdown. We will keep up our room hygiene between clients as best we can. 3 Clients only to attend the clinic. Please only bring yourselves to the clinic, not friends or family members with you unless mandatory for your appointment.

Just call us when you are in the car park and we will call you when your appointment is ready to go. 4 If in doubt reschedule its ok, we all understand. The outbreak was directly in our area, if anyone is isolating or getting a COVID test please DO NOT come into the clinic because you have an appointment. Please reschedule your appointment until after your 14 day isolation or quarantine period has ended or after a negative COVID test.

08.01.2022 Tired of rolling your quads out the old fashioned way? Add this one into your foam roller regime for a little bit of spice Quad Foam Roller with a Pin and Stretch....

This is where the "Pin and Stretch" comes into it. We want you to actively move into the range of motion you want to improve. In the case of the quad - bending your knee, bringing your heel to your bottom will place the quad on stretch as you release it with the foam roller. 2 benefits for the price of one!! Quad Pin and Stretch Technique Tips: - Both legs on the roller - Elbows under your shoulders - Hold a gentle plank position Bend one knee as far as you feel comfortable Hold for 2-5 seconds, repeat for 3 reps. Finding different spots on your quads with each round.
