A decade of CrossFit research. The same three injury sites.

Coaching and programming have improved, yet the pattern hasn't really moved. We look at why the shoulder and lower back keep coming up, from kipping pull-ups and muscle-ups to fatigued barbell sets. Our view: the movements don't need avoiding, but those areas deserve specific preparation and monitoring.

A Day in the Life of our Physio Jas! 👀

Today, Jas tackled a range of conditions, from hip and back pain to foot stress fractures!

But there’s more to physio than just hands-on treatment. Jas also spent time building personalised rehab programs and collaborating with the team to get second opinions on treatment plans.

It’s all about finding the right approach to help each client recover safely and get back to doing what they love!

Whose day in the life would you like to see next?

Is CrossFit actually more dangerous than other sports?

Its reputation doesn’t quite match the research. Injury rates are roughly comparable to Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics, and well below contact sports. We also look at Hyrox, where the evidence is thin and current advice borrows from CrossFit and running research.

Can a preseason hamstring test predict who will strain a hamstring this season? Our latest blog post looks at the evidence.

- Preseason strength and RFD testing hasn't reliably separated who goes on to strain and who doesn't
- Eccentric strength and hamstring:quad ratios run into the same problem
- Testing still helps: tracking a previously injured hamstring, monitoring fatigue after hard sessions, and guiding return to play

As we put it: "It's just not a crystal ball."

Full range, symmetrical strength, nothing sore on testing, and an athlete can still feel off at speed.

Part 1 of our hamstring series explains why peak strength testing can miss this, and how we test later-stage hamstring work: early force in the first 50 to 100 milliseconds, at longer muscle lengths, compared with each athlete's own peak.
