It’s been said that you’re only as strong as your weakest link, but guess what?

When you push your body to the brink of failure, that weakest link becomes one of the single most likely areas for injuries to occur.

Sure that sounds pretty simple, but what if I were to tell you that the “weak link” may not be what you think it is?

Book now for a full assessment to find out where the weak link is causing you reoccurring injuries and niggles. 🔑

PREVENT RATHER THAN NEEDING A CURE..

Massage, applied skillfully, is the most effective therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculo-skeletal system.

Received regularly this helps our clients prevent injuries, which might otherwise be caused by overuse.

A constant build up of tension in the muscles from regular activity may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments, tendons, as well as the muscles themselves. These muscle imbalances may develop and often go undiagnosed until they are serious enough to cause discomfort or reduce performance.

Therefore, one of the greatest benefits of sports massage is in helping prevent injury.

Manual workers tend to be very active during work and therefore feel that they "get enough exercise" and/or "don't need to do strengthening exercises" as their work is demanding enough 🤔.

📝 The below study investigated the effects of a 9 week strength training program on various outcomes among hospital porters .

🏋️‍♂️ The strength program consisted of squats, rows, shoulder raises, push ups and core exercise.

📚 RESULTS: The strength training program was effective in reducing musculoskeletal pain improving work ability creating greater job satisfaction and improving physical function.

CONCLUSION: Additional exercise in the form of strength training may be advantageous in providing improved quality of life among manual workers.

Prevention is better than cure...🙏🏻

As well as treating and rehabilitating a wide variety of musculoskeletal and sports injuries a large proportion of our caseload is made up of individuals that aren’t necessarily injured.

This often includes treating old injuries to prevent a reoccurrence or treating athletes/ weekend warriors who have developed ‘niggles’ through their intense gym sessions and running programs.

From our experience, treating minor issues before they develop will lead to a reduction in injuries, increased training intensity and enhanced performance.

We would strongly recommend regular maintenance treatments to anyone who is motivated to stay active and injury free.

So many people ask us ‘what can I do for arthritis?’

🌟 the real answer is MOVE!

We treat a lot of people with manual therapy such as joint and spinal mobilisations which helps lubricate the joints and brings movement to the joints but don’t underestimate the importance of movement in general!

Keep active for as long as possible - the best forms of exercise is walking to keep your muscles and bones strong and to lessen the symptoms of arthritis!

✅ Research has indicated:

✔️ Twenty minutes of exercise can act as an anti-inflammatory. Even a short, 20-minute walk can produce anti-inflammatory effects by stimulating the immune system.

✔️ Exercise can boost your mental health. Exercise can counter depression, stress, and anxiety, according to the research here. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America reports research evidence that regular exercise can work as well as medication for some people who suffer from anxiety and depression.

✔️ Physical activity was associated with a lower risk of 13 types of cancer. This conclusion was from a large-scale study that analysed data from over a million people.

✔️ Various other benefits of exercise and physical activity have been well documented over the years. Exercise may strengthen bones and preserve muscle mass, thereby lowering your risk for falls and fractures. Exercise can help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, indirectly reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes.

✔️ Exercise can prevent or ameliorate back pain. Moderate exercise can rev up the immune system, helping us fight off colds. Studies suggest that exercise lifts mood, raises feelings of satisfaction and self-esteem, and even makes you happier.

✔️ Physical activity can improve arthritis symptoms by 40 percent.
