We had some professional photos done at work a few weeks ago … many years in the making to get us all together in one place at the same time!!

Been updating all my pictures online as it’s quite terrible that some on my website were from over ten years ago … and it’s fair to say I look a little older now 😂🙈

💚 What have I seen in clinic this week?

🕺🏼 Busy week for the 50-59s and 70-79s! Lots of women! And lots of low back pain, neck pain and maintenance. This weeks youngest patient was 13 and the oldest 82 🎊

It’s quite hard categorising peoples symptoms into one category, I’ve tried to loosely group patients into categories based on their primary area of concern. Though for example if someone comes in with neck pain it’s highly likely their shoulder and mid-back ( & the rest of the body!) are also playing a part… Many also come in with a number of issues and complex medical problems but let’s try and keep it simple 🤣

I’d like to keep this up weekly as I find it quite interesting but can’t promise anything 🤣 people always ask what I see most of and I think I generally have a 50/50 split of men & women but let’s find out!

“Coach, why am I always dealing with something? A sore ankle, tight calves, my back acting up. I train smart… or at least I try to.”

Coach Davis didn’t respond right away. He looked at Maya, one of his most promising athletes, and pointed to the grass beside the track.

“Sit.”

Maya sat, confused.

Coach crouched down beside her. “Tell me about your training week.”

Maya began listing off her runs intervals on Tuesday, tempo on Thursday, long run Sunday. “And I rest on Mondays and Fridays,” she added proudly.

“Sounds solid,” Coach nodded. “Now, what do you do outside of running?”

Maya shrugged. “You know… work, sleep, Netflix.”

“No strength work? No mobility drills? No foam rolling? Stability exercises?”

She hesitated. “Sometimes… when something starts hurting.”

Coach sighed. “That’s like fixing the roof after it starts raining.”

He picked up a stick from the ground and snapped it. “Running puts a lot of force through your body seven, eight times your bodyweight every step. If your body isn’t ready to handle that, it breaks. Not all at once. Bit by bit. A tight hip here, a weak glute there. Compensations build up, and then boom… injury.”

“But I stretch!” she protested.

“Stretching isn’t enough,” Coach said. “It’s about building resilience. Strong core. Mobile joints. Stable ankles. If you neglect the foundation, the structure collapses.”

Maya was quiet for a moment.

“So… the best runners?”

“They train to run and train to support their running. Strength, mobility, nutrition, sleep. It’s all part of the program. Running isn’t just about moving forward. It’s about building a body that can handle moving forward. Again, and again, and again.”

Maya nodded slowly. “Alright. Where do I start?”

Coach smiled. “Tomorrow. Gym. I’ll show you how to train like a runner who wants to stay running.”

An osteopath must know the shape and positions of every bone in the body, as well as that part to which every ligament and muscle is attached. He must know the blood and the nerve supply. He must comprehend the human system as and anatomist, and also from a physiological standpoint. He must understand the form of the body and the workings of it. That is a short way to tell what an osteopath must know. – A. T. Still MD DO Autobiography
