So proud to help this young man break 16 minute for 5k.

Brilliant achievement & a dream to work with 🏃‍♂️

Correcting muscle function for the win 🏆

21/08/2026

Don’t like these pre made exercise sheets 😒

➡️ None specific
➡️Lacking in skill
➡️ No testing or deep/critical thinking
➡️Clients deserve better work
➡️Rehab is so important so why waste their time and your time
➡️ If this was done better the industry would be far more highly sought after as results would be a lot better.

I have a runner in clinic at the minute with Achilles pain 👎

Most people’s go to’s for Achilles issues is strengthening work eg isometric holds, calf & Soleus raises, loading work etc 💪

I like this too but I’ll let the testing determine is needed for rehab 🔑

For this runner strength work isn’t what was needed. The Achilles, Soleus and gastroc where already compensating other muscles at the ankle and higher up the chain 👌🏼

So more release work and more work to focus on better contraction of the weaker muscles elsewhere 🏃

Achilles easing, time to push more miles….

An example of some of the work that goes on in the Prehab/Performance program ✅

Most athletes have more areas that need working on and improving than they realise 💯

Steady testing and regular MOT’ing is the key to sorting that 💪

Great session here where the scar tissue for a c-section many years ago was a massive priority in terms of her dysfunction 🏆

I had a young 10 year old footballer in clinic this week with osgood schlatters ⚽️

Didn’t take long to diagnose this young man as both knees had two visible bumps 🤕

So onto getting it better 🫡

Osgood’s cause is poor function and weakness in the muscles surrounding the knee 💯

Tested my 6 imbalances and he presented with 4 👍

Treated 2 of the imbalances on both legs then recorded a video outlining exactly what I need him to do everyday for rehab 🏃

Working progress….

GAA player in clinic with a hamstring issue yesterday 🤕

Biggest issue I see with hamstring rehab is that everyone is trying to strengthen…

Just because an area is sore doesn’t mean it automatically needs strength work 😓

For this man yesterday the testing showed that the hamstrings were contacting just fine 💪

But his rec fem, medial fibres of rec fem, psoas, TFL (all hip flexors) and lumbar extensors weren’t contracting well 👎

Because these weren’t contracting well the hamstrings were picking up the slack. So in fact they needed more release work 🔑

Hamstring strength work would actually make this issue worse 🤕

One of the most problematic issues at the shoulder is the lateral bicep 👎

People will feel this issue putting the seat belt on, putting a coat on or sometimes will feel the arm has no power to lift up….

Yesterday in clinic I worked on 4 separate issues. 3 of the clients coming close to 90% better 🙌

The last one was just starting. He had poor movement in abduction (painful) and internal rotation and flexion (painful) 🤕

Worked on some stabilising muscles at the scapula - serratus, teres minor/major and also the Tricep 🫡

Range dramatically improved before end of the session - will see how it holds now with the rehab ✅

Young 14 year old hockey player and runner in clinic yesterday. She has had 18 months of pain below the knee cap 👎

They thought the issue was Osgood’s but rather than being painful on the bone she was more painful on the patellar tendon ✔️

A better diagnosis would be patellar tendinopathy…

I would argue the name of the condition does matter much….

What matters is knowing how to get it feeling better 💯

Tested for my 6 imbalances and she had 4 on each leg 🦵🏼

Treated and set up for rehab 🏃‍♀️

Working progress…
