Postural Assessments...
A postural assessment is a visual observation method that allows you to look at a person’s overall alignment.

It can determine whether a person has any postural deviations, muscle imbalances, muscle weaknesses, or any other faults in their movement patterns which could be causing musculoskeletal pain or discomfort.

During this assessment we may assess, for example, symmetry/asymmetry and imbalances between the neck, shoulders, hips, spinal curvatures, ankle, plumb line (head to toe) as well as assessing movement patterns that mirror day to day activities, particularly if they are provocative to your symptoms.

The Importance of Nutrition for Recovery and Injury Prevention

Most people understand that exercise is important for improving fitness, strength and overall health. However, what many people overlook is that your body only gets stronger once it has had the chance to recover.

Recovery does not just happen on its own. Your body needs the right nutrients to repair muscles, tendons, ligaments and other tissues after exercise. Without them, recovery is slower, performance can suffer and the risk of injury may increase.

Every time you exercise, your muscles and other soft tissues experience small amounts of stress. This is a normal part of training and is what allows your body to adapt and become stronger. Recovery is the process where your body repairs this damage and prepares you for your next training session.

Nutrition does not just help you recover. It also helps keep your body healthy enough to cope with training. Muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones all rely on a steady supply of nutrients to stay strong and function properly. If your body is not getting what it needs, tissues may take longer to recover between sessions. Over time, this can increase the risk of overload injuries.

Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, fruit and vegetables helps provide the vitamins and minerals your body needs to repair and maintain these tissues. You can have the best training programme, the best rehabilitation exercises and regular sports massage or soft tissue therapy, but if your body does not have the nutrients it needs, recovery will always be limited.

Simple ways to improve your recovery include:
-Include a source of protein with each meal
-Eat carbohydrates after exercise to replace energy stores
-Stay well hydrated throughout the day
-Eat a variety of fruit and vegetables
-Avoid skipping meals after training

Recovery is about much more than simply resting. Giving your body the nutrients it needs will help you recover faster, perform better and reduce your risk of injury, allowing you to continue doing the activities you enjoy.

Client review...
"I’d like to thank Josh for all his help! He made sure I got to the start (and finish) lines and it was clear throughout what the goals were! He was really adaptable, especially as the injury I went in with wasn’t the one I came out with but he made sure everything was treated and was supportive, not pushy, with the changes I needed to make to strength and training! I finished the marathon in just under 4 hours thanks, in part, to the therapy he provided! ” - Saffron
