Think your knee is “wearing out”? Think again. 👀

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most misunderstood conditions out there — and those myths might be doing more harm than the pain itself.

🚫 “I should avoid movement”
🚫 “It’s just wear and tear”
🚫 “Surgery is inevitable”

Truth is, OA isn’t just about your knee breaking down — it’s a complex condition influenced by movement, strength, and how your body adapts over time.

💡 Movement can actually HELP
💡 Pain doesn’t always = damage
💡 Most people don’t need surgery

The biggest mistake? Letting fear stop you from staying active.

Because the right approach can help you move better, feel stronger, and stay in control of your recovery 💪

Most runners think marathon fueling is just:
Eat more carbs → run longer.

But modern performance science shows it’s much bigger than that.💡

Carbs don’t just fuel your muscles — they support your 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺, 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗴𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗼𝘀𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 during a race.

Which is why many runners hit the wall even when they think they are fueled properly.

The real key is learning 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 — from carb loading to late-race strategies that keep your body and brain performing when fatigue hits. 💪🏻💯

We’ve put together a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗶𝗻-𝗱𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 that breaks down exactly how to do it.

Inside the guide:

Are you really ready to return to activity?

Pain may settle and daily movement might feel “normal,” but that doesn’t always mean your body has fully recovered. Many people return to sport, exercise, or work too soon, which can increase the risk of reinjury or setbacks.

This is where strength testing comes in. It gives an objective measure of your body’s ability to produce and tolerate force, ensuring your return is guided by physical readiness, not just time or symptoms.

But strength alone isn’t enough. Safe return also requires: ✔ Good movement control ✔ Tissue tolerance for load ✔ Fatigue resistance ✔ Confidence in your body

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, a strain, a joint injury, or just returning to exercise after a break, assessing capacity, control, consistency, and confidence is key to moving safely and preventing setbacks.

Smash, sprint, lunge… repeat 🎾💨 
Padel is fast and explosive, which means elbows, shoulders, calves, Achilles, and knees sometimes protest! 😅 Most injuries come from too much too soon or repetitive load rather than one bad move.
Don’t let it stop your game, spot it early, strengthen smart, and keep dominating the court. 💪 
Tell us 👇 Which padel injury has slowed you down the most?

Started running this January? You’re not alone. 🏃‍♂️ 
The biggest mistake new runners make isn’t bad shoes or poor fitness, it’s doing too much, too soon. 
Your heart adapts fast. Your muscles adapt slower. Your tendons adapt slowest. 
That’s why January motivation often turns into February pain. 
Physio tips for new runners:  ✔️ Build volume gradually (not daily PBs)  ✔️ Strength train at least 2x/week  ✔️ Rest days are training days  ✔️ Small aches ≠ normal, get them checked early 
Running should make you feel stronger, not broken.

Some of our clients take on challenges that leave you speechless. 🏁💪

This weekend I headed to Battersea Arena to cheer on one of them tackling a 24-hour race.
The atmosphere was electric—and the mental and physical determination on display was incredible to witness.

It’s a privilege as a physio to offer even the smallest bit of support along the way and to see firsthand what the human body (and mind) can do.

To every runner, rider, lifter and weekend warrior we treat:
your achievements inspire us every single day.
Thanks for letting us be part of your journey. 🖤

Team On Your Game hit the streets for Run for London this Sunday! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
Two of our physios (plus their very supportive partners 😅) got roped in and showed up strong.

We met some incredible, friendly people—and the event vibe was unreal. Huge thanks to for organising such a fun, meaningful day supporting two brilliant Kenyan charities 🇰🇪💛

P.S. The before and after pics are no joke… safe to say the red face and heavy breathing were not part of the warm-up plan 😅🔥
