Every year, here at The Reinge Clinic, we like to get involved in the Kenilworth Christmas Tree festival at St Nicholas Church. For us it is a bit of fun, a great way to help local charities and an opportunity to get word out about our Physiotherapy Clinic, all at the same time.

So we wrote a blog on why we started supporting this event and how we come up with the decorations each year... We hope you enjoy.😍

The Reinge Clinic shares the fun, community-focused journey, creating their display for the Kenilworth Christmas Tree Festival at St Nicholas Church.

Are your hands stiff and sore at the end of the day? You are not alone. Many hand heavy industries suffer with hand and wrist pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and even elbow pain.

Plumbers, hairdressers, barbers, gardeners, podiatrists, surgeons.... Hands are working incredibly hard in all these industries and hand and wrist pain can be a really big problem.

However, as with most muscular problems it generally comes down to the area being either too tight, or too weak, or a mixture of the two. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one such condition, but more often than not, the wrist pain in this condition often comes from the shoulder. The body is a funny thing and pain doesn't always originate from where you feel the problem.😉

At The Reinge Clinic, we aim to work out the source of your pain and fix it, allowing you to continue your chosen profession pain free.😃💪

So give us a call and book on in.

Knee arthritis can be treated. If you catch it in the early stages, pain can be reduced or eliminated completely with some targeted strength work.

Strengthening the muscles around the foot, knee and hip often solve the pain of knee osteoarthritis.

If the arthritis has progressed, we can take a look at some bracing solutions, using specialist braces we can help to reduce the knee pain, allowing you to remain active.

If you have tried both these options and pain is still persisting, APOS therapy may be the next option. This NICE approved treatment solution can be an alternative to knee replacement surgery.

The place to start is with a thorough assessment of the problem, so book on in and let us give you the best solution to your Knee pain. 😃💪

Avoid Running Injuries by perfecting your running form.

🏃🏾 - Try not to over stride, over striding leads to heel strikes which cause the ground forces to run up your leg into your knees and hips. Aim to land with your feet under your hips, keeping the forces in your foot.

🏃🏾 - Aim for a mid foot stride, where your heel and ball of the foot hit the floor at roughly the same time. This allows the arch of the foot to do its job, absorbing forces and stabilising the knee.

🏃🏾 - Your torso should rotate when you run, avoid holding it rigid and just moving your arms. When the torso rotates so does the SI Joint, allowing the forces to run from the glutes up into the upper body.

🏃🏾 - You would be mazed how many people run looking down at their feet. This affects everything, from your ability to breathe efficiently, to stopping the torso from rotating correctly. Try to look up and ahead of you, lift your chest and look to the sky.

If you want to understand how you run, book in for our running analysis session and we can fine tune your running technique.

Getting older does not mean getting weaker or more frail.

The human body wil adapt to exercise at any age, but as we head into older years that change takes longer and needs a more targeted approach.

Here are some top tips to staying strong in your older years.

🛋️ Getting up from the sofa? Try not to push yourself up, make your legs do the work. Similarly, when sitting, don't fall into the chair, slowly lower yourself. This will keep your legs and core working in a really functional way.

👍 Try to sit crossed legged on the floor every day. One of the most limiting effects of age is struggling to get up from the floor, once you loose the ability it is very hard to rebuild it. So make it your priority to get up from the floor every day.

🚶🏼‍♀️When you walk, try not to shuffle. If we start to get weak, have a few falls or are just getting older. One of the first things we do is to shuffle when we walk. Try to stride out with a large heel strike while you walk, it will help your balance, stability and muscle strength.

If you are starting to feel the effects of age, give us a call. We can do a full biomechanical assessment and work out where the weaknesses are , then give you a couple of simple exercises to keep you strong and mobile. 💪

Desk work plays havoc on our bio-mechanical health. Sitting at a desk, working on a computer and mobile phone use all make us look down for long periods of time.

The result, stiff and tight Shoulders, Neck pain, Headaches. 😫

How can you help yourself?

👍Stand up from your desk every hour and look up! Looking up makes us straighten up.
👍Stand against the wall! No really, it resets your brain so it knows what straight feels like. Give it 10 seconds and then head back to your desk.
👍Check your posture, if you are collapsing onto the desk you may need to reassess your work station.

If you are struggling, book in for a posture assessment and we can look at your biomechanics and reset you, with the assistance of just a couple of targeted exercises.

Avoid running injuries with biomechanical knowledge. 💪

Running injuries become more prevalent as the colder weather hits. So how do you protect yourself from winter issues?

🏃Firstly make sure you warm up, many Hamstring injuries come from people striding out too far when they are cold. Your muscles and tendons need time to warm up to full function. Base layers passively keep you warmer, but increased blood flow is what warms the muscles and joints internally.

🏃Start with a walk, then a speed walk, then a light jog and finally a run. If you are doing tempo work, intervals, sprints, this is even more important. Make sure you have built up to a steady 20 min run before you attempt any sprints or hill work.

🏃 Foot strike becomes even more important in the colder weather. A heel strike is essentially an over stride, it puts a lot of force through your heel bone and up through the front of your leg. It can also overly stretch your calf and hamstrings leading to injury. Try to move to a more mid foot strike, especially when the weather is cold. Shorten the stride and increase the cadence.

If you want a personalised running assessment, book on in today and we can look at your biomechanics to help you get through the colder months injury free.

Feeling stiffer as the weather turns colder? This isn't unusual, many people find the colder months more challenging but especially if you have arthritis or any old joint injuries.

But there are things you can do to help yourself.

🍂Continue to exercise! - When the nights get darker and the temperature drops it is very easy to stay on the sofa rather than head out for some exercise. But one of the things that makes joints happier is strength exercise. So grab a wooly hat and hit the gym. 💪

🍂 Warm up - Take the time to do a longer warm up than usual. When you are cold the fluid in your joints is less viscous, as you warm up it moves and provides more lubrication. So, if you run, have a walk first, if you cycle, start with a low geared, flat peddle to warm things up, if you walk, walk slowly. if you do weights in the gym, warm up first on the cross trainer for 15 mins.

🍂 Wear layers - at the start of your warm up have several layers that you can slowly peel off as you warm up, base layers are great for sports such as football and rugby and running events. Make sure these are base layers though and not compression tights. Compression tights are for post sport recovery and limit blood flow. You want to encourage blood flow to warm up the muscles. 👍

If you need help with your joints or training program this winter, give us a call and we will set up a tailored plan that fits your needs.

Our Full Body Assessment provides a 90-minute bio-mechanical evaluation designed to uncover the root causes of chronic pain, postural issues, movement dysfunction, and recurring injuries.

Whether you’re looking to prevent future problems, address long-standing complex pain, or need clarity on where to start to improve your muscular health, this is a must have session.

Think of it like an MOT for your body. We will take a look at your posture, your strength levels, your movement patterns and help you to understand what you need to do to keep in great muscular health.

Muscle weakness and postural issues build up quietly over years, the first you are aware of it is when you feel pain. So let's break that cycle and deal with the issues before pain begins. 😀💪
