23.01.2022 FUNCTIONAL CUPPING THERAPY What in the world are those suction cups . Functional cupping involves the use of plastic cups placed on the skin where the air within the cup is removed to cause a vacuum effect. This negative pressure helps distract and separate the tissues underneath the cup to increase blood flow and promote healing . It is basically another form of soft tissue release, but instead of compressing/massaging the area, we are lifting the tissues. .... Here we are performing cupping with movement to help increase @charlotteprice97 lumbar mobility and stretch the lateral chain to help with lower back pain. Thanks for being a champ and allowing me to leave my mark on you . See more

20.01.2022 If you want to perform at your optimum capacity, taking preemptive measures to keep your body operating at is key. Don’t wait for an injury to happen before seeking treatment. As @darrenjhardy so nicely puts it, Small, seemingly insignificant steps completed consistently over time will create a radical difference. He calls this the .... This compound effect can also go in the other direction. When a small dysfunction felt in the body or during movement is not addressed, improper movement patterns occur. Over time, this compound effect of improper movement patterns will lead to an injury. Being proactive about seeking treatment for symptoms that don’t feel like a big deal at the time will have your body operating at its best, keeping you in the long game.

17.01.2022 "IT'S JUST OLD AGE .... wrong Most episodes of lower back pain improve and lower back pain does not get worse as we age.

16.01.2022 Tight hips from too much sitting? Sitting is especially detrimental to glute performance, whether that performance is picking up heavy pots in your garden or doing heavy squats in the gym. This is because sitting weakens the glute muscles and shortens the hip flexors, which leads to the lower back taking over during activities that require bending.... Here are some great stretches for the Glutes and Hip flexors that you can do in your office. Happy Monday

15.01.2022 BACK SPASM - People’s backs go into spasms quite often and it can be quite painful. The problem is that they do not understand why that happens. I had a number of people who say that they have never had back pain before and they don't know why the back pain came in the first place.... First of all, not having had any back pain will not save you from a spasm, secondly a back spasm has happened for a reason, it is never random. In fact every type of pain that you get in your body is happening for a reason, my job is to figure out why, treat the patterns and make sure it does not happen again. . REASONS FOR SPASMS - MUSCLE FATIGUE - When a muscle has been working for a long time, or has been performing the same action over and over again, without receiving other movements or lengtening. . RAPID MOVEMENTS - Doing something quickly, especially bending forward or rotating, when you have been still for a while, will sometimes lead to a very painful spasm in your back muscles. . DEFENSE MECHANISM - Overall the reason for muscles spasming is that they are trying to protect you from doing something stupid and hurting yourself even more. The most common case of spasms happen in the gym when people deadlift. When you try and go over on what you are currently capable of, your body will not like that and your CNS will say to your muscles to spasm in order to protect you. . If you are suffering from back pain, do not hesitate to get in touch

05.01.2022 Hip Mobility- The hip joint is a ball and socket joint capable of 6 movements. That means that it is primarily there for us to use to move in a variety of ranges and so that we are able to produce a lot of necessary actions on a daily basis. What happens if you start losing mobility of the hip? ... 1- The body will notice this lack of mobility and will try and create it somewhere else. Most common areas will be the SI joint, Lumbar spine and knees. If the body develops too much mobility in areas, which are not meant to be that mobile, this will lead to pain which then may lead to an injury. 2- You will start to disengage muscles, such as the gluteus Max and Med. Once these two start to switch off, you are going in a downward spiral of back problems and knee problems. Therefore, restoring hip function will greatly improve your bodies capabilities to deal with load up and down the chain. This patient came in with SI joint pain and mid back tension: you can see how restricted his hip mobility was and how much function we were able to restore in just one session... Now the fascinating thing is that muscles and joints have memory, so he would need to maintain this restored function of his hip by performing the set of mobility/stability exercises given to him on a consistent basis.

04.01.2022 People confuse pain and accept it as a part of getting old. .

03.01.2022 This is definitely the strangest of times... Yet every cloud has a silver lining. With every disaster comes the opportunity for renewal. Renewal of thinking and of being. This is surely a most humbling time, inviting us to slow down and reflect. And although a little rough at the moment, this is a reminder that life itself is constantly changing and inherently impermanent. Let us now work on our ability to accept this impermanence, and our ability to stretch and mold to what life throws us - learning to bend, so that we may not break

02.01.2022 MOBILITY & STABILITY - This image is a good representation on what should be STABLE and what should be MOBILE. - A lot of people that have knee pain for example - think it must be their meniscus, bursitis, tendonitis or even believe that it runs in their family ... - If you look at the chain on the side, it’s representing that everything is linked . So a lot of people that have knee pain, usually have an ankle or hip that doesn’t function well - therefore putting unnecessary pressure on the knee, leading to pain - Another good example is that if your hips are stiff, your lower back becomes UNSTABLE and therefore locks up to protect itself - causing lower back tightness and pain - If you’re experiencing pain, or feel like your body isn’t moving the way it should, jump onto my website and book in your initial consultation for a full body assessment, and let's help get you out of pain and moving better!
