A year on, and the advice is just as relevant.

Dr David Porter and Dr Kush Joshi, were featured in British GQ discussing why tennis is one of the best sports for supporting long-term health and longevity.

Whether you're a seasoned player or thinking of picking up a racket for the first time, tennis offers benefits for cardiovascular fitness, strength, balance, coordination and healthy ageing. With the tennis season in full swing, there's never been a better time to get on court.

If you missed the article last year, it's well worth a read🎾

Day 3. This is probably the worst you've felt since crossing the finish line.

Your quads are on fire. Stairs are a problem. You're walking like you've aged 30 years overnight.

This is completely normal.

Post-marathon muscle soreness peaks between 48 and 72 hours. It's called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and it's your body responding to the micro-damage caused by 26.2 miles of repetitive impact. It is not a sign that something is wrong.

Here's the part that matters: Days 4 and 5 are the trap. The soreness starts to ease. You feel human again. And the temptation to go for "just a short run" kicks in.

Don't.

Your muscles may feel ready. The deeper tissue repair isn't done. Running too early is the most common cause of post-marathon injury we see in clinic - and it's the most avoidable.

Our free 14-Day Post-Marathon Recovery Guide covers exactly what to do from today through to your first run back. Day-by-day timeline, red flags to watch for, and when it's genuinely safe to train again.

Written by Lead Physiotherapist Ian Gilham and Dr David Porter, formerly First Team Doctor at Chelsea FC.

You’ve done it. 26.2 miles.

Right now, your body only needs to know four things: keep walking for the next 20 minutes, take on fluids and a recovery snack within the hour, wrap up warm, and prioritise sleep tonight.

Everything else can wait — but not forever.

The 14 days after a marathon shape the next six months of your running. That’s when overuse injuries declare themselves, when runners make the mistake of going too early, and when the difference between finishing the season stronger and finishing it in clinic gets decided.

We’ve written a free guide covering all of it.

The day-by-day timeline we use with the runners we treat. The red flags that mean you should get assessed. When you can run again — and how.

Written by our Lead Physiotherapist Ian Gilham and our Founder Dr David Porter (formerly First Team Doctor, Chelsea FC).

Congratulations. Properly, seriously, well done.

Running ni**le or running injury? A physiotherapist explains how to tell the difference before the London Marathon.

Race week is the worst time to Google your symptoms. Every runner has aches. Not every ache is an injury.

The difference matters because the management is completely different. A ni**le needs reassurance and routine. An injury needs assessment and a plan.

Swipe through for the clinical markers we use to distinguish between the two.

If you are running the London Marathon on Sunday and something does not feel right, a physiotherapy assessment this week could be the difference between finishing comfortably and finishing with a problem that follows you for months.

Recovering from injury? This is why physio-led reformer pilates works.

Most people think of pilates as a fitness class. In a clinical setting, it’s a rehabilitation tool.

Physio-led reformer pilates combines low-impact, controlled movement with adjustable resistance tailored to each patient. That means we can target and isolate the specific muscle groups that need strengthening after injury - without overloading the body.
It’s rehab that’s built around you, not a generic programme.

If you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic pain, or returning to training after surgery, reformer pilates could be the missing piece.

Behind every athlete are the early mornings, the setbacks, the training sessions no one sees and the determination to keep going.

Because it’s never just about the moment , it’s about the example.

You never know who might be watching, learning and believing they can do it too.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women who show up, push forward and inspire the next generation.

Valentine’s Day is a pretty appropriate moment to talk about cardiac health.

A few weeks ago, Dr David Porter was in Kuwait for the Sports Doctors Network Middle East Summit, delivering a presentation on cardiac screening and sudden cardiac death in professional football. Dr Porter regularly speaks internationally, drawing on his experience in elite football and sports medicine to share best practice in athlete health, risk management, and return-to-performance decision-making.

He also contributed as a panel member on the evidence for biologics in professional athletes, and on rehabilitation to match readiness.

We apply the same standard here at Opus: evidence-led clinical decision-making, structured rehabilitation, and personalised care.

If you’re returning from injury, managing ongoing pain, or want a clear, structured plan for performance and longevity, book an assessment at www.opusbiological.com
