Medal Monday!

With consent ✅

Congratulations to fellow Stevenage Strider (and Spurs fan) Richie Longley for smashing out a PB at the Hertfordshire Half Marathon yesterday 🙌🏻.

Richard has been seeing Steve regularly for sports massage to complement his training and has also consulted one of the physios a few weeks ago when he was injured.

We’re delighted for Richard with his PB of 1:30:14 - so close to his sub 90 minute goal - and Hertfordshire is a tough hilly course!

Thank you for choosing ASK Physio Richard 🤩🥳

Steve and I are back from a lovely holiday in Vilamoura - which is where we had our first holiday together back in the year 2000.

We found the same table at the same restaurant and laughed about how we sat there together 26 years ago - if only we had known we would return in the future as married couple running a business together and with two kids at university.

HUGE thanks to the team - especially Nicki, Sam and Charlie, who really held the fort for us and managed everything while we were gone. Our planned reception cover was taken into hospital leaving us without admin for most of the week. The team did a great job of holding the fort. 👌🏻

Congratulations to Chris who completed his first marathon in Chester yesterday in an impressive 3hrs 41mins.

Chris signed up with a coach and also had sports massage with Steve every two weeks during his 16 week training plan.

He said ‘It made a big difference for staying fit throughout the 16 weeks of training’.

If you’re planning a spring marathon, why not consider Steve for your maintenance sports massage during training. 👌🏻👌🏻

Most people aim for every 4 weeks or so. It’s great to look after those muscles and give them a bit of TLC whilst doing all the long runs.

Happy birthday to my right hand woman - physiotherapying together since 1993 🥳Have a fab day Nicki - 🎂 🎁 🥂

Superstar patient of the week goes to Spartan Sharon 🥳

Sharon was recommended to me by her sports massage therapist Suzy Hawkins as she was suffering with hamstring pain at the top of the muscle (very common in runners).

I first saw Sharon in July where I diagnosed PHT - Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy.

On examination her hamstring was much weaker on her painful side so I prescribed her some appropriate hamstring exercises for this condition- one of which is below. It’s important not to stretch the tendon in this condition as it can make the pain worse so exercises like single stiff leg deadlift should be avoided in most cases.

Important message: I did not tell Sharon she had to stop running. I advised her to keep running but avoid too much speed work or hill work. We are now gradually introducing more speed and hills.

Sharon is extremely motivated and very diligent at doing her exercises every other day as prescribed. She has gained strength in the muscle and her symptoms continue to improve. She said to me today “I don’t go to a gym, everything you’ve given me I can do at home”.

She’s a member of a local running club Fairlands Valley Spartans. She’s been running for years and has done over 100 marathons! Her running has improved a lot this year which she puts down to the FVS sessions and also the strengthening exercises she’s been doing.

She recently ran a 5K time of 26:17 which is a 76.9% age grading for those who get that!

Sharon’s got some races coming up including Standalone 10K, the Great Eastern Run and Snowdon Marathon in a few weeks.

She’s been a pleasure to rehabilitate.

Go Sharon 🙌🏻

Great write up in the local paper - reporting how the Menzies Race Day hosted by Stevenage Striders Running Club (and sponsored by us!) raised £9000 for three local charities.

Let’s just say that again- £9000!!!

I will posting about the three wonderful charities that benefitted from these funds raised over the next week or so.

Some of you know Simon or may remember him from previous posts. He’s an amazing runner - this year he completed the Comrades ultramarathon in South Africa.

However- he’s back with us and unfortunately this time because he’s broken his arm/shoulder.

Simon’s Orthopaedic Consultant was happy for him to start physio at 3 weeks post fracture. We’ve started with some simple home exercises and some hydrotherapy.

Hydrotherapy is brilliant in these cases as Simon is able to move his arm/shoulder so much more in the water than what he can do on land. The buoyancy facilitates this movement and helps get the movement back and also start some early strengthening using the resistance (drag) created by the water.
