Unlike Zeus here, trying to drag a tree twice his size around the woods… 🌳🐶😂

Have you got the balance right?

You’ve got your workouts planned 💪🏼 But what happens when the DOMS is real? Do you push through anyway, or take the rest day, reduce the intensity and give your body a chance to recover?

Because without recovery, there is no progress.

😴 Poor sleep because of the kids, work or life in general?
💧 Hydration been a bit questionable?
🍽️ Fuelled properly?
🤕 Carrying a little ni**le you’ve been ignoring?

Sometimes smashing the planned workout isn’t the best option. Getting outside, getting your steps in and giving your body a lower-intensity day might actually do you more good.

And that little ni**le? A week or two of adjusting your load, intensity or frequency now could save you from 6–8 weeks of doing nothing later.

Training, recovery and injury prevention are a balancing act ⚖️ — and it’s not an exact science.

Listen to your body. Challenge it when it’s ready. Back off when it needs it. And when you’re not quite sure which one you need… that’s where we come in. 👋🏼

Whether it’s getting that niggling pain or injury checked, a Body MOT, or some injury-prevention prehab to help keep you doing what you love…

Rutledge Sports Therapy has got you 💪🏼🧡

Now, someone please tell Zeus the tree can stay in the woods. 🌳😂

⭐ Kelly Rutledge

Kelly founded the clinic in 2014 with one simple goal: to provide honest, evidence-based treatment that helps people recover from injury, reduce pain and perform at their best.

Dry needling is coming soon to Rutledge Sports Therapy!

Dry needling can help to reduce pain, release muscle tension, improve movement and support recovery from a range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.

This treatment should only ever be performed by qualified, insured and professionally registered practitioners who have completed the appropriate training.

We’re excited to be adding dry needling to our treatment options very soon. Keep an eye out for more information!

Best intentions and all that … one day I’ll get the hang of socials 😅

Recurring tension headaches?

Muscle tension through the neck and shoulders may be playing a role.

Here’s a look at some of the techniques I use to help reduce tension and improve mobility in these areas.

While every case is different, addressing restrictions within the surrounding muscles can help some individuals manage their symptoms more effectively.

If tension headaches are something you experience regularly, it may be worth exploring whether treatment could help.

The irony of being a sports therapist is spending all day reminding clients to prioritise recovery… and then forgetting your own. 😅

Today I’m taking my own advice.

Treatment is an investment in your health - it’s part of staying healthy, moving well, and performing at your best.

If your body’s been asking for a sign, this is it. 👀✨
