Rehab and Run

17/04/2026

10 Years! That is how long it has been since I started my St Osyth Village Hall Knee, Hip & Balance classes. And it sort of seems appropriate that we were back in the annex where it started, even though it is temporary whilst the main hall is having work done. Some of the ladies attending this week have been coming since the beginning but we also had new people joining us. Over the years people have come and gone for various reasons but everyone has always been welcomed and given the same top quality advice on how to exercise correctly and safely to overcome their mobility difficulties. And I hope to be able to continue doing this for many more years.

A busy and varied week. Everything from ruptured Achilles rehab, to stroke rehab, to shoulder posture correction, massage for sciatica, for vertigo, ITB syndrome, and of course my weekly knee, hip and balance classes. And quite a bit more. Lots of tight legs out there at the moment with London, Manchester and Brighton marathons coming up.

And finally part 3 of the Knee Above Foot series. This one focuses on getting up from a chair but the basics also apply to squatting.

So parts 1 and 2 related to reducing knee pain whilst going up and down steps, probably the most common time people with knee problems report pain. The other thing they almost all report problems with is getting in and out of chairs, and that is what I address in this article. Once you have had a qu...

As promised a few days ago part 2 of my Knee Above Foot series which this time focused on the side on view.

So in part 1 I discussed your knee being above your foot from an anterior or front view now I am going to look at the importance of knee above foot from the side view. This is just as important as particularly if your knee is in front of your toes there is a huge amount of stress placed on both the....

I thought I would share again this article I did for my website a few years ago and the next 2 in this series over the next few days.

This is because it is incredibly important in firstly reducing the risk of injury, secondly in reducing....
