A short snippet from the Return to Sport phase β€” where rehab meets performance.

At this point, the focus shifts from controlled rehab drills to game-realistic demands.

Key principles to guide this phase:

⚑ Specificity
⚑ Speed & reactivity
⚑ Decision-making under pressure
⚑ Fatigue resilience
⚑ Controlled chaos

The goal: bridge the gap between rehab and true game readiness.

AND never forget the fun β€” confidence grows when training feels like the game πŸ‰πŸ”₯

This combo works deeply on painful, stiff or sore areas by:

πŸ”₯ Heat therapy β€” increases blood circulation, relaxes tight muscles, and improves tissue elasticity. It helps to reduce stiffness and prepare the muscles for better recovery.

πŸŒ€ Cupping therapy β€” creates gentle suction that lifts the tissue, releasing muscle tension and reducing pain caused by tightness or overuse. It also bring in fresh, oxygenated blood for faster healing.

Together, they:
βœ… Decrease pain and inflammation
βœ… Improve range of motion
βœ… Support faster muscle regeneration
βœ… Promote deep relaxation

Perfect for areas that feel tight, overworked, or sore after training or injury πŸ’ͺ⚑️

A winning game and very first match as a Sport Rehabilitator for a Rugby team today – and thankfully no serious injuries! πŸ‰

Recently, I’ve been spending a lot of time around rugby, including my experience at the Women’s Rugby World Cup.

So I can officially confirm that I’m starting a permanent role with Widnes RUFC.

A new challenge, a different working environment – but don't worry... 😏 I’m still running my own business on the side from Monday - Thursday.

As you know, it’s hard to keep me in one place for too long πŸ˜‰
Personal growth and gaining new experiences are always a big part of my journey πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§Running is better together πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’¨

For me it’s training, for her it’s fun – but for both of us it’s quality time outdoors!

πŸƒ Healthy habits – they learn that movement and activity are a normal part of life.

🧠 Mental well-being – fresh air and exercise boost mood, reduce stress, and help focus.

🌟 Role modeling – kids copy what they see; watching you enjoy running inspires them to be active too.

πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ Why cycling is more than just a ride ? πŸ’š

1️⃣ Proprioception & Neuromuscular Coordination

Cycling constantly challenges your balance, engaging your nervous system and improving body awareness β€” great for recovery after injuries.

2️⃣ Joint-Friendly Strengthening

Unlike running, cycling puts minimal impact on your joints while still strengthening the muscles in your legs, glutes, and core β€” perfect for people with joint issues.

3️⃣ Boosts Circulation in the Legs

The rhythmic pedaling motion improves blood and lymphatic flow, helping reduce swelling and supporting recovery.

πŸ’› Not just a workout β€” it’s therapy on two wheels!
