A plantar view of the deepest layer of the foot reveals the tendon of the Tibialis Posterior and its SEVEN different fascial attachments 👀

This picture is from over 100 years ago, but today's 📚 give you the attachment as only navicular/med cuneiform ✖️

From the above picture and it's attachments, the Tibialis Posterior has an huge role in stabilising the entire foot during gait🏃🏻 and reducing eversion forces while balancing the forces of the peroneus longus 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏻

Most people think ELDOA is just about relieving back pain or improving posture — but it goes much deeper.

Every segment of the spine has nerves that connect directly to specific organs. When a vertebra is compressed or restricted, the nerves supplying those organs can be affected. That means digestion, breathing, hormonal balance, cardiovascular function, and even pelvic health can all be influenced by the quality of your spinal space.

ELDOA creates decompression at precise spinal levels.

More space = better nerve flow.

Better nerve flow = healthier organs.

This is why after practicing ELDOA you may notice:

• Clearer breathing

• Calmer digestion

• Better elimination

• Reduced inflammation

• A sense of internal “lightness”

ELDOA is not just stretching. It is active, intentional, fascial tensioning that influences the body from the spine outward.

Did you know?
Around 10–20% of people have an anatomical variation where the sciatic nerve runs through or around the piriformis muscle.
This means stretches and strength plans that work for one person might not work for another — because the nerve is literally positioned differently.

So if you’ve been feeling:
• Deep glute pain
• Tingling down the leg
• Tightness that just won’t release

You might be dealing with piriformis-related sciatic compression — and it needs to be assessed specifically, not guessed at.

At BelfastFit, I don’t throw generic stretches at you.
We test, assess and tailor your treatment to your anatomy.

🎯 Why Guy Voyer’s Osteo-Articular Pumping is a game-changer for foot mobility 🦶🏻

Most people stretch their calves… but forget the 26 bones and 100+ connections in each foot. That’s where Voyer’s pumping method comes in. 👣

By rhythmically loading and unloading the tissues, we:
💧 Rehydrate the fascia for smoother movement
🦶 Decompress each joint for true mobility
🧠 Rewire proprioception for better balance
⚖️ Reset muscle tone through active lengthening

The result?

Check out the above review!!

Feet that move, absorb, and react like they were designed to — improving everything from your gait to your hip mechanics to your posture.

Strong, mobile feet = stronger performance from the ground up.

Had a classic the other day. Client with right low back pain, medial knee pain, and big toe pain. How do those fit together?

Assessed how he moved.. now everyone moves differently and there is no "best" way to move BUT if you are in pain throughout the chain ⛓️ then you aren't moving good!!

Always start from the ground up!

Broken big toe 👣 a number of years ago

We found he was severely pronated. Facilitated peroneals (pronation) with inhibited TFL (valgus knee), causing anterior tilt of right pelvis and sacroiliac pain. 

All as a result of this broken big toe💥

Create more movement in the big toe👣Release peroneals, create more awareness of the TFL 

Everything he came in with improved considerably 💥💥

Exercises are essential to keep this pattern moving forward afterwards 🙌🏻

⚡️Dry Needling & The Electric Body⚡️

The body isn’t just mechanical — it’s electrical.

Our fascia and fluid systems conduct energy through piezoelectricity — when tissue is compressed or stretched, it generates an electrical charge that influences cellular communication and healing.

Dry needling taps directly into that system. Each needle acts like an antenna, stimulating the electro-fascial network, restoring balance in muscle tone and helping the body reset its internal wiring.

It’s not just pain relief — it’s about reconnecting the electrical pathways that drive movement, posture, and performance.

⚡️Structure meets energy.
⚡️Function meets frequency.

📍At BelfastFit Clinic
Last week we had .callaghan in analysing how she moves, working on getting her lat to spread better.

As you can see from the before and after photos of the session we achieved this 🙌🏼

Linking everything I’ve learned from in the clinic and the multiple courses throughout the years, including Guy Voyer’s Pumping of the Trunk and Pelvis, to optimise her movement for her next bodybuilding show.

In bodybuilding, it’s not just about muscle — it’s about how you move.

By assessing her posture, trunk dynamics and pelvic rhythm, we’re helping her create more balance, stability and power on stage.

Small adjustments in how the body moves can make a big difference in symmetry, shape and even stage presence.

Every session is about unlocking performance potential — not just treating pain, but helping athletes move like champions.

She did just that on Sunday, winning overall Champion🏆

Brilliant work R 🙌🏼

The forgotten ligament!

The Barkow Ligament is a deep stabiliser of the fibula with a key role of resisting the superior-posterior pull of the strong biceps femoris on the fibula.

This structure is often overlooked in chronic hamstring strains and ankle sprains.

Tibio-fibular mechanics are controlled by the Ligament’s tension.

Book in today to get this ligament assessed and working better! ⛽💦

Then get to work with some hands on work and pumping etc

We have a window of opportunity now to really push the optimised training for him post session!

I use the term optimised training as I feel rehab is such a negative term to use in the narrative of things.

I prefer using optimised💪🏻

How good is hands on work and pumping with optimised training after! 💥💪🏻
