ANTERIOR KNEE PAIN? TRY THIS!⠀ ⠀ Knee pain 2 that day was anterior or front of knee pain around and under the knee cap (patella) accompanied by overactive, hypertonic quads and hip flexors on that side. Soft tissue work improve these symptoms for the client.⠀ ⠀ But once again this is only part of the picture as on assessment we discovered the clients foot (which had a previous fracture a couple of months before onset of knee pain) was rigid, the client over supinated and also bore most of their weight on the lateral aspect of the foot when walking. Some hip restrictions in ROM were also adding to the picture. These both needed some good soft tissue work too and into the spine to improve fluidity of movement.⠀ ⠀ Home-care plan looks a lot like foot mobility work, foot self massage (ball), foot stabiliser work and a functional loading plan with some stretching to support the treatment plan.⠀ ⠀ Not all knee pains are the same - so why treat them the same!⠀ ⠀ #unique #tailormade #treatments #sportsmassage #massagetherapy #thewholepicture #kinesiotape #kneepain #fitpro #fitness #crossfit #movemore #movebetter #movementismedicine #pain #knee #arthritis #painrelief #sportsmassagetherapist #rehab #prehab #mobility #jumpersknee #brokenfoot #brokentoes #runnersknee
*** BIRTH TRAUMA ***⠀ ⠀ Sometimes when the mind has experience trauma, stress, anxiety, the body creates tension to help us deal with the event. To help us Fight, Flight or Freeze, to help us survive.I for one Fight, I bottle it all in to be strong for everyone. But what happens when the event ends? What if we have not let go of this tension?⠀ ⠀ Somatic experiencing is where the body remembers tension, patterns, functions that are associated with that trauma. Sometimes seemingly unrelated somatic or bodily pains, feelings, sensations can be linked to that trauma and need to be released.⠀ ⠀ For me it started with a warm foot, I then developed a chronic migraine a 9 out 10 all day every day, a stiffness or pain in my mid spine and a feeling or not being able to breathe. I was convinced it was my back from carrying the baby, I should know better right?⠀ ⠀ But it all started after my baby was signed off as well as healthy, so it couldn't be related to that stressful year of carrying a baby I knew was going to be unwell, the baby who arrived and was unwell, well it absolutely was ALL to do with this.⠀ ⠀ Understanding this is the first step to getting better. Learning that is ok to be scared, to be worried, is the prevention. ⠀ ⠀ We need to feel our feelings to let them go!Are you holding old traumas in your body? Is it time to release them? @corefascialrelease⠀ ⠀ #bodymindcore #corefascialrelease #facia #somaticexperiencing #chronicpain #migraine #birthtrauma #cbt #feelyourfeelings #letitgo #pain#therapy #trauma #release #wellbeing #gettingbetteratgettingpeoplebetter #nomorepain #sportsmassage #massagetherapist #movemore #breathe #yoga #pilates #movement #movementismedicine
MEDIAL KNEE PAIN? TRY THIS!⠀ ⠀ So Knee pain 1 was on the medial aspect or the inside of the knee and was accompanied by overly tense adductors. We did soft tissue work to reduce the tone and sensitivity in these areas and this taping will help the client support themselves until the next session allowing them to focus on the home-care loading plan.⠀ ⠀ This is only part of the picture as the cause on assessment looked to involve hyper-mobility, a compromised core and a lack of movement leading to increased load through the knee. Oh and it seems back pain is a common theme too :-)⠀ ⠀ Home-care plan looks a lot like Core re-connection and a functional loading plan with some stretching to support this.⠀ ⠀ Not all knee pains are the same - so why treat them the same!⠀ ⠀ #unique #tailormade #treatments #sportsmassage #massagetherapy #thewholepicture #kinesiotape #kneepain #fitpro #fitness #crossfit #movemore #movebetter #movementismedicine #pain #knee #arthritis #painrelief #sportsmassagetherapist #rehab #prehab #mobility #pilates #football #yoga #basketball #baseball #tennis #badminton #horseriding
uNo 2 People Are the Same!⠀ ⠀ So that would lead nicely into the fact that no three knee pains are the same so why would you treat them the same? Knee pain is not resolved by following a one size fits all recipe⠀ ⠀ Assessment is key, the knee is actually a very simple joint. It primarily flexes and extends (a little rotation when flexed but really minimal) so then why does it cause so much grief for people? ⠀ ⠀ Well often it gets overworked supported something a little unstable above or below it.⠀ ⠀ Assessment is key. ⠀ ⠀ Today in clinic I had 3 knee pains in a row, all left with a taped knee but completely different homecare plans and I want to give you a short insight into each so you can understand why I take time to assess each client thoroughly.⠀ ⠀ Lets get the root of the problem!!⠀ ⠀ #kneepain #jumpersknee #runnersknee #kneenames #rehabilitaiton #sportsmassage #sportsmassagethreapist #sta #sports #arthritis #massagetherapy #pain #injury #nomorepain #fitness #fitprolondon #soap #football #crossfit #hairdresser #life #wellbeing #ktape⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #loughton
Stop Going Through The Motions - Learn to EXPLORE Your Body⠀ ⠀ We all hold they key to moving and feeling better, to creating energy where it is lacking and to reduce pain and discomfort⠀ ⠀ It starts and ends with tuning in to your body, taking your movement, but focusing on your body. Where does it go with ease, but where does it hold back? Where do you lack movement? Where do you feel tension or discomfort?⠀ ⠀ Do not run from the places your body fears, instead move into them, explore them and add slow, deep, calming breath. Start that reprogramming, send those messages of safety to the nervous system and see how the output changes.⠀ ⠀ Its time to stop going through the motions, to stop being too prescriptive, you have permission to explore movement and your body and make it mindful.⠀ ⠀ #mindfulness #wellbeing #sportsmassage #massagetherapist #injury #pain #painrevolution #mobility #fitfamily #fitmums #postnatal #crossfit #yogalife #pilates
Being Your Best? What is your approach?⠀ ⠀ When it comes to working out what is your goal? To be your fastest? To be your strongest? To be your best? But are you getting injured, hitting plateaus and just feeling like you are not getting better results even though you are working hard?⠀ ⠀ Is it time to slow down to go faster? ⠀ ⠀ I will use Crossfit as an example as it is where I practice this mantra or Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast - If we are always focusing on the fastest time in the group, rather than the fastest time for yourself then how does that serve your goal?⠀ ⠀ You will get stronger if your form is good, you will get faster if your form is good. If you ignore this, then you will reach a plateau and never pass it. Is your speed compromising your form? And if it is, wouldn't that infer that it is also compromising those gains we just talked about?⠀ ⠀ How about wiping that board clean and starting again focusing on form. Focusing on how your body feels, what it is doing and when you feel it compromise to lift more or go quicker? Finding your true limitation with good form? From that point you can load gradual, increase speed gradually all the while listening to your body for good form. ⠀ ⠀ Believe me there is nothing like having babies to slow you down, but what is has made me ever more aware of is that going slower, makes you faster, it may take months or even longer but you will keep moving forward and soon you will be bursting through those barriers and reaching your goals! You can be stronger, fitter, faster⠀ ⠀ #smoothisfast #speed #crossfit #wod #workoutofthday #crossfitopen #fitness #sportsmassage #massagetherapy #prehab #injuryprevention #mobility #mindset #mentality #stayfocused #focus #faster #speed #power #olympiclifting @crossfitwoodford #movemore #movebetter
