Rehab is not always a race πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’ͺ🧠πŸ”₯βš½οΈπŸ€

In our latest piece for Intouch Magazine, physio Jai Wadwell explores one of the biggest traps athletes can fall into during recovery: focusing only on getting back quickly, rather than rebuilding properly.

A strong return to sport takes more than gym numbers and training sessions. It involves movement control, confidence, fatigue tolerance, decision making, and preparation for the real demands of competition. Good rehab often looks simple, steady, and consistent, but that's where the important work happens βš‘οΈπŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ―βœ¨πŸ‘πŸ“ˆ

Layering exercises on the reformer can support gradual progression while refining technique and awareness πŸ’« Beginning with knee hovers allows focus on alignment, breathing, and controlled loading through the shoulders and trunk πŸ’ͺ🌱 Transitioning into plank to pike from the platform adds movement while keeping control front of mind!
