🚀 New at Rowlands Podiatry: Lower Limb Strength & Asymmetry Assessment

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new appointment designed for runners, athletes, and anyone who wants to move better and avoid injuries:

Lower Limb Strength & Asymmetry Assessment

Using the AxIT digital dynamometry system (from Strength by Numbers), we can now measure the strength and power of your key lower limb muscles with pinpoint accuracy.

Why does this matter?

Because muscle imbalances and left/right asymmetries can:

⚠️ Increase your risk of injury
⚠️ Limit your running performance
⚠️ Reduce your efficiency and endurance
With this assessment you’ll get:

✅ Objective data on your muscle function
✅ A clear, easy-to-read report
✅ Expert guidance on how to correct imbalances
✅ A personalised plan to help you build strength and optimise load distribution

📊 Results You Can Trust

Your results aren’t just numbers on a page. They’re compared against a huge international database of people like you, matched by s*x, age, weight, and height.

This gives us an accurate baseline to see how you measure up against the wider population. More importantly, it provides a benchmark for us to track your progress.

✅ After following a strengthening programme, we can remeasure and show you exactly how your muscle strength, balance, and symmetry have improved.

It’s not just theory - it’s measurable, objective progress you can see.

Whether you’re:
- Recovering from an injury
- Training for performance
- Or just wanting to run more efficiently

👉 This assessment gives you the insights you need to train smarter, move better, and reduce injury risk.

🧠💪 RHABDOMYOLYSIS: A SERIOUS RISK FOR THE OVERZEALOUS GYM-GOER 💪🧠
(Yes, it’s as intense as it sounds — and it can happen to anyone.)

Whether you’re an athlete chasing PBs or a beginner going from couch to CrossFit, rhabdomyolysis (or rhabdo) is something you NEED to know about.

⚠️ What is Rhabdomyolysis?

It’s a condition where muscle fibres break down rapidly, releasing their contents — including a protein called myoglobin — into the bloodstream.
In high amounts, myoglobin is toxic to your kidneys and can lead to acute kidney injury and other life-threatening complications.

🔬 Aetiology (Cause)

👉 Usually triggered by extreme physical exertion, especially when unaccustomed.
👉 Also linked to crush injuries, heatstroke, certain medications, and genetic muscle disorders.
👉 Often occurs in people who do too much, too fast — think: intense HIIT, spin classes, or heavy resistance workouts after a long break.

⚠️ Risk Factors
• 🔹 Untrained individuals pushing past safe limits
• 🔹 Returning to exercise after a long break
• 🔹 Dehydration
• 🔹 Hot environments
• 🔹 Use of certain drugs or supplements
• 🔹 Genetic predispositions (e.g. metabolic myopathies)

🚨 Common Symptoms
• 🔴 Severe muscle pain, especially in large groups like thighs, shoulders, or arms
• 🟡 Weakness or stiffness
• 🟠 Swelling or tightness in affected areas
• ⚫ Dark, tea-coloured urine (from myoglobin)
• 🔵 Nausea, vomiting, confusion, or fever in severe cases

🏥 What Should You Do?

If you suspect rhabdomyolysis, don’t wait — seek urgent medical attention.
📞 Call 111 for advice or 999 if symptoms are severe or worsening.
💉 You’ll likely need blood and urine tests (CK levels, kidney function) and IV fluids to prevent kidney damage.

‼️Preventative Recommendations
• Drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercise
• Gradually increase workout intensity — no “all or nothing” mentality
• Avoid high-intensity workouts in hot/humid conditions
• Rest adequately between sessions
• Listen to your body: pain is not always gain

💬 Final Word

Rhabdo is preventable. Don’t let ambition override safety. Whether you’re an amateur or pro — consistency and progression matter more than shock-and-awe workouts.
Respect your limits. Know the signs. Protect your health.
