We're not entirely convinced we can cope with being away from the clinic for that long either! 😅

We'll be back in the clinic on 𝟐𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞, hopefully refreshed, recharged, and with Mark returning from the Sahara with an abundance of new stories to tell. Whether anyone actually asked to hear them, remains to be seen... 🐪☀️😂

Thank you all for your continued support, and we'll see you soon.

☀️ Ah here… the sun’s out. Panic stations. ☀️

You know the drill…
One decent day of weather and suddenly it’s:
• Fighting for a parking space in Rosses Point
• Sand in places you didn’t know existed
• Burning one side of your face while the other freezes 🌬️
• Sprinting home because “GET THE WASHING IS OUT ON THE LINE!!” 🏃‍♂️

And next thing… you’ve absolutely overdone it 😅

👉 Tight back
👉 Stiff neck
👉 Shoulder acting up
👉 Feet in bits after walking half of Sligo barefoot

Sound familiar?

That’s where we come in.

At ML Therapies, we’ll get you back moving properly again so you can actually enjoy the next day of summer (whenever that lands… probably October 😂)

✔️ Osteopathic treatment
✔️ Sports & orthopaedic therapy
✔️ Class 4 Laser & Shockwave
✔️ Get you out of pain, fast

⚠️ Don’t leave it until you’re hobbling into work Monday morning.

𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒈𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏?👣

Plantar fasciitis doesn’t just “𝒈𝒐 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚” — especially if you’re loading it daily with walking, training, or running.

With 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 approaching and events like the 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝑹𝒖𝒏 around the corner, now is the time to deal with it properly — not push through it.

👉 These exercises are a great starting point
But if your pain is:

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲

…it usually needs more than just rehab.

Here’s where we help in clinic:

⚡ 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝟒 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲

PATIENT NOTICE : Due to the national fuel strike if you need to reschedule your appointment today, please let us know as soon as you can. We're still stuck at Collooney and we left an hour early 😅😅

Of course Claire-Ann Roughneen Lynch packed car snacks and coffee so.... we gooooood!!!!

An Garda Síochána Sligo/Leitrim have been made aware of a planned protest set to take place in County Sligo tomorrow the 7th of April 2026. It is believed that a convoy of Heavy Goods Vehicles will be departing Collooney on the N4 and Rathcormack on the N15 with all vehicles travelling towards Sligo Town shortly after 7AM. It is expected that there will be a large volume of slow moving traffic. Traffic disruption and delays should be expected from 7am to 1pm on both of these routes as well as Sligo town and its environs . All motorists travelling in the affected area are advised to plan their journeys and allow extra time for expected delays.

🧠 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝘀 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 – 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿

Everyone thinks:
👉 “If I just stretch more, I’ll get more flexible.”

But that’s not actually how the body works.

✔️ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁):

Improves movement
Reduces stiffness
Helps muscles tolerate length

❌ 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴:

Irritates tissues
Delays healing (especially in injuries)
Can make pain worse, not better

💡 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵:
Your body doesn’t just “loosen” because you pull harder.

Flexibility is a mix of muscle, tendon, and nervous system control — not just length.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵:

The body senses threat
It tightens up to protect itself
You end up chasing flexibility… but going backwards

🚑 In injuries, this matters even more:
If a muscle or tendon is already irritated:

Pulling aggressively = more micro-trauma
Healing slows down
Pain sticks around longer

👉 That “good stretch pain” is often not helping — it’s aggravating

📊 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗣𝗘 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝟬–𝟭𝟬):

0–2: Too easy → no real stimulus
3–4: ✅ Ideal zone → gentle stretch, comfortable tension
5–6: ⚠️ Borderline → noticeable discomfort, use cautiously
7–10: ❌ Too aggressive → likely irritating tissue

👉 For injuries: stay around RPE 2–4
👉 For general flexibility: RPE 3–5 max

✅ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿:

Gentle, controlled movement
Strength through range
Gradual loading (not forcing range)

🔥 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲:
Flexibility isn’t about forcing length — it’s about earning control.

If it feels like you’re fighting your body…
you probably are.

📍Struggling with tightness or recurring injuries?
We assess the cause, not just the symptom.
