The forward fold into sitting hamstring reach is a great stretch!

It is fantastic for anyone with tight hamstrings or with previous 'sciatica' pain symptoms as it helps nerve floss the sciatica nerve if you move your toes towards you and then towards the floor.

1) bring your right leg crossed over your left leg which is straight.
2) hold your right foot in place with your left hand for support,
3. Lean forward keeping your back straight and reach with your right hand across to your left foot and hold for 30 seconds.
Repeat 3-5 times daily 🙂.

It is so frustrating being injured, believe us we know exactly how you feel but depending on your injury there may be other activities you can still do to keep you exercising and moving.

Trust us, it is better to keep moving rather than completely resting as doing nothing can delay the healing process and your recovery. However it is vital you get a full diagnosis before trying any exercises to reduce the likelihood of any further injuries or making the current injury worse.

Swimming, walking and low resistance cycling on an exercise bike are great exercises to keep up your strength and power whilst you're recovering, but please consult your therapist first! 🙂

Don't give up - there is still plenty for you to do! 🏊🏻🙌🏻

Menstrual cycle and injuries 🩸

Evidence is advancing in this area which is making it easier to try and prevent injuries especially around your menstrual cycle!

A women’s cycle is broken down, which is separated by ovulation at around day 14, into the follicular and luteal phases. Ovulation itself occurs following a surge in luteinizing hormone and oestrogen levels; the 3 days prior to ovulation are deemed the late follicular phase.

A study from 2021 analysed women’s football players from 8 England national squads (Under 15’s-senior level) were recruited for the study. Data was collected over a 4-year period (2012-2016) whilst players were representing their country in either training camps or match play.

Results revealed;
⭐️ Injury incidence rates (per 1,000-person days) were 47 and 32 % greater in the late follicular phase compared with follicular and luteal phases.

⭐️Data also suggests that muscle and tendon injuries may occur approximately twice as often in the late follicular phase. (muscle rupture, tear, strain, cramps and tendon injuries/ ruptures)

⭐️20% of all injuries in this study occurred after the expected date of menstruation.

Stumbling across this paragraph whilst researching and it has really made us think...

‘What makes things so different for each athlete?’.and how come a persons psychological state is rarely addressed?

Here at The Pressure Point we take a ‘whole person’ approach.. we identify and address the physical, emotional and social impact of an injury on each individual person! ✅

I am sure you are familiar with the “what if” questions.

You know… what if It doesn’t work?

What if i am still in pain?

What if I’m no further forward?

What if I will never return to the activities I enjoy?

But here's a question for you. What if you're wrong, about everything?

Today, I want you to try asking some different "what if" questions.

This is seriously life changing!

If you continue to ask yourself these questions you are no further forward with your injury..

You are prolonging the pain and injury, and in fact the longer you leave an injury the more your body compensates for this imbalance or weakness.

The longer pain and an injury has been left for, the longer it takes to resolve!

Don’t ask yourself ‘what if’ and feel free to speak to us about any symptoms you may have and what solutions we have for you!

Are you training for a specific event but struggling with ankle weakness or an injury?🤯🤯

Try low-impact activities to increase your fitness but lowering the blow on your ankle!
Instead of always taking your training to the pavement focus on low-impact activities.

If you’re in pain, activities such as swimming, cycling and rowing, won’t require and sharp and sudden ankle motions. They’ll keep your ankle protected helping you to get back exercising safer and faster!

Or for you runners out there.. why not try training on a beach? Make sure it is flat and avoid any uneven gapping in the stand but this softer surface under your feet will take away a lot of the harsh impact, giving you chance to enhance your training pain-free and making the run slightly harder!
