Your hip stretches aren’t fixing this. Comment HIP for. Free guide

Stretching isn’t bad.
It’s just not enough on its own.

Most hip pain and stiffness isn’t because the hip is “tight”.
It’s because the hip is doing too much work.

When the spine, pelvis, and rib cage don’t move well,
the hip becomes the last resort.

Add in poor strength and limited loading through different ranges,
and the hip never builds real resilience.

Hips need movement and strength.
In every direction they’re designed to move.

That’s how mobility actually improves

RUNNERS TESTING: S/L CMJ

SAVE WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR HERE!!!

Jump height and conentric peak force are what we look at immediately but as a runner I want to see what eccentric braking impulse is on each side as I want to know if there is a limb that is taking more of the force.

If there is a big discrepancy then this will affect the athletes when running.

This is a test where the main focus is on asymmetries.

We are looking for less than a 10% deficit in all markers for a single leg jump.

We also want to look at the jump strategy used, it just the numerical data.

Is there more hop dominancy? Is there less knee flexion? Is there more trunk rotation? How smooth is it? How relaxed is the athletes body? Are just a few of the questions I would ask?

You’ll hear this a lot with knee pain 👇

• Running is bad for your knees
• Your scan says you have arthritis, that’s why you’re in pain
• Your glutes are weak
• Squatting causes knee pain
• Your VMO is weak

Let’s clear this up.

Running does not ‘ruin’ knees.
Most people with arthritis on scans have little or no pain.
There is no single muscle that magically causes knee pain.

Knee pain is rarely a structural diagnosis problem.
It’s usually a load tolerance problem.

Your knee hurts when the demands placed on it exceed what it currently tolerates. That could be running volume, gym loading, jumping, hills, work demands, or sudden spikes in training.

Avoiding squats doesn’t build knee capacity.
Avoiding running doesn’t protect your knees.
Chasing one “weak muscle” doesn’t solve the problem.

Progressive loading does.
Strength through range does.
Gradual exposure back to the things you want to do does.

Strong knees are built by loading them, not avoiding them.

Now over to you 👇

Here is an example of what a testing session looks like here at move for someone returning from an ACL injury and gearing up to return to run.

If you are wanting to find out more about how we help people recover from an ACL injury at MOVE just comment ACL and we will send you the link to a free webinar with more details.

As always using kit to make sure the recovery and progression through different phases is data driven and not based of just time alone.

RUNNERS - POWER DEVELOPMENT

SAVE THESE TARGETS

Recreational runner
Male 30cm
Female 25cm

Competitive Runner
Male 40cm
Female 35cm

Elite Runner
45cm+ for male and female.

RSI

< 0.40 → underpowered / fatigued

0.40–0.55 → solid for endurance athletes

0.55–0.70 → very good (efficient + explosive)

0.70+ → elite neuromuscular qualities

An improving CMJ score for runners shows;

- improved rate of force development: how quick you can produce force.

- improved efficiency of the lower body transferring force which means less energy wasted.

- Reduced injury risk: tendons have to work hard during these explosive tasks so the better they can perform and tolerate higher force / load , the better.

Most people stuck with knee pain are lost.

Poor advice vs too much advice

Let’s keep this simple ⬇️

They have tried stretches, random exercises, YouTube videos, rest, then panic when pain flares again.

What is usually missing is not effort.
It is structure.

Knee rehab works best when there is:
• Clear knee coordination
• Strong single-leg strength
• Smart load management
• A gradual return to impact

No guessing. No constant resets.

If your knee rehab feels chaotic, this framework is the reset.

Save this so you have something to come back to when pain flares.
Comment KNEE REHAB if this feels like you

Back Pain Rehab Done Properly 👊🏻

Chris came to us after a low back injury that stopped him running, training, and trusting his body day to day.

This was about poor load sharing, single leg control, and confidence after injury.

Over 12 weeks inside our online Pro Recovery program, we focused on:
✔️ Restoring ribcage and pelvis movement to offload the low back
✔️ Rebuilding single leg balance, strength, and coordination
✔️ Progressing to impact, landing, and higher intensity work

The result?
Back to running.
Back to strength training.
Back to moving without fear or overthinking

And a team Chris can always call on when needed ✅

If you are dealing with ongoing back pain and feel stuck, there is a better way.

Comment BACK and we will send you our free low back rehab guide.

Here is what a typical day in the life looks like for me working as a physiotherapist at MOVE.

Not every day is the same but most will go a little like this. A lot of variety with online and in person, a lot of testing and most importantly working with some pretty incredible people to achieve incredible results.

New year. New goals ➡️ Our Go to exercises to keep you training and moving pain free for 2926

Warm it up properly before you run or train 👇

If you’re running more or training harder this January, this 5–10 min warm-up can help you move better, feel looser, and reduce the risk of niggles holding you back.

What this warm-up does 👇
• Opens up the front of the hips
• Gets your core and sides of the body switched on
• Helps your ribs and pelvis move together
• Calms the nervous system so you don’t feel stiff or guarded
• Keeps nerves and muscles gliding smoothly after runs

How to use it 👇
• 45 seconds per exercise
• Slow, controlled reps
• Long relaxed exhales as you move
• Can be done daily or before every run

What you’ll see in the video 👇
• Half-kneeling stretches with reaches
• Standing split squat rotations
• Pelvic tilts with overhead reach
• Straight leg nerve glides and calf stretches
• Hip shifts to improve pelvis control for running

This isn’t about forcing stretches.
It’s about letting your body move, relax, and reset so you can stay consistent with your goals.

Save this. Try it today. Your future self will thank you 🏃‍♂️🔥

Again the right side is weaker…

I will be implementing half kneeling glute rotations and retesting in 8 weeks.

The gives you an abd/add ratio

We want this to sit around 1:1 in terms of strength.

The research is varied here with body weight targets…. But aiming for 35%+ of bodyweight seems to be the aim in this seated position.

Make 2026 the year you stop managing pain and start moving forward.

If you are going into the new year still dealing with aches, injuries, or setbacks, this is your reminder that pain does not have to be your normal. You do not need to keep guessing, resting endlessly, or waiting for the perfect moment to start.

Progress starts with clarity. A proper assessment. Understanding what is strong, what is weak, and what actually needs work. From there, it is about building strength, confidence, and tolerance with a plan that makes sense for your body and your goals.

Your body is designed to move and adapt. When you load it properly and consistently, it learns. It becomes more resilient. And the pain that once held you back starts to lose its grip.

All you need to do is show up and put the work in. We take care of the rest.

We offer full, comprehensive physiotherapy support both in person and online. From assessment to rehab to return to sport or training, you are supported at every stage with structured programming, clear progressions, and ongoing guidance.

If you want 2026 to be the year you move better, train harder, and stop letting pain dictate your choices
