Myth: Rest fixes all sports & musculoskeletal injuries
✅ Fact: Most sports & musculoskeletal injuries improve faster with the right load.

⚠️ Complete rest can reduce pain short-term — but it also weakens tissue.
✔️Tendons need tension ✔️Muscles need strength
✔️Joints need movement

When we remove load completely, we reduce the body’s capacity to tolerate sport & activities.
That’s why so many athletes / people feel “okay” after rest… Then flare up as soon as they return 😞

Rehab isn’t about doing nothing.
It’s about doing the right things, at the right level 🔥

What is “the right load”?
✔️ The right exercise
✔️ The right intensity
✔️ The right volume
✔️ Progressed at the right time

Not too much ❗️
Not too little ‼️

If you’ve been resting but not improving, it may be time to rethink your plan 🤔 💭

IT’S GO TIME 🔥

🏃‍♂️ Training Running Plyometrics: Run Stronger, Compete Better ⚡

Plyometric training isn’t just for jump athletes or sprinters —it’s a must-have for all runners and anyone training to compete in sport.

🔹 What are running plyometrics?
Explosive, fast movements that train muscles and tendons to store and release energy efficiently—just like sprinting, cutting, and accelerating in sport.

🔹 Why they matter for athletes:
✔ Improve speed & power
✔ Enhance agility and reactivity
✔ Build tendon resilience
✔ Reduce injury risk when progressed correctly

🔹 If you’re training to compete in any sport:
Plyometrics should be part of your program.
They prepare your body for the high-impact, high-speed demands of competition—not just steady training.

🔹 Physio tips for safe progression:
✅ Build a strength base first
✅ Prioritise technique & soft landings
✅ Start low volume (quality > quantity)
✅ Program 1–2x/week alongside sport training

⚠️ Plyometrics are high load—timing and technique matter. Progress smart to perform at your best.

🏥 Train for the demands of competition, not just fitness.

6 NATIONS IS UP AND RUNNING 🏉 🔥

Three international games back-to-back before a break — it’ll be interesting to see how that workload takes its toll this year. World Cup–esque intensity.

Contact sports aren’t to be taken lightly ⚠️ 💪

Back-to-back fixtures. Heavy collisions. Short recovery windows. Sound familiar ⁉️

Fatigue, micro-trauma, and mobility loss accumulate across the season — for athletes at every level.

Regular maintenance physiotherapy and recovery sessions allow for early intervention, consistent recovery, and smarter load management, keeping you strong, available, and performing at your best.

Titles aren’t won in six weeks — they’re earned by staying competitive all season. That’s why we’re supporting players throughout this 6 Nations and beyond, with physiotherapy designed to sustain performance across the entire competition calendar — not just a six-week window.

☑️ Rugby
☑️ Combat sports
☑️ Football (depending how you play it 😄)

Therapyworks - Newport & Magor offering a 6-session performance package, with the final session complimentary.

Train hard. 🥵 🤜 �Recover with intent. 😇 🙌🏼 �Stay in the game. 🔥 💪

Post-Knee Surgery Rehab — Done Properly. Together.

Yesterday we released our Small Group Knee Rehab Classes, and here’s why they work 👇

Recovering from knee surgery isn’t just about “getting stronger.” It’s about rebuilding confidence, control, and capacity — so you can get back to real life.

Our small group rehab package is built around all the key components of effective rehabilitation:
✅ Strength – progressive, targeted loading for long-term knee health
✅ Mobility & ROM – restoring movement without stiffness or fear
✅ Cardiovascular Fitness – because rehab shouldn’t mean losing fitness
✅ Proprioception & Balance – retraining stability for daily tasks, sport, and hobbies

💥 Why we’re confident in helping you return to ADLs, sport & hobbies:
• Small group = expert coaching with individual attention
• Evidence-based programming (no cookie-cutter rehab)
• Structured progressions to support a faster, safer, more confident recovery
• Rehab that bridges the gap between physio and full return to activity

Whether your goal is pain-free walking, returning to sport, or getting back to the activities you love — this program is designed to get you there 💪

❌ MYTH: Stretching alone prevents injuries

✅ FACT: Strength, load management, proprioception, neuromuscular control, and recovery matter too!

Yes… I’m a physio 😄 and yes, we do have a reputation for prescribing plenty of stretching.

I also spent a fair bit of time in professional rugby — and rugby players aren’t exactly known for being super flexible 😅, yet many are incredibly robust and durable.

🧐 Flexibility can matter, and in some cases it’s part of the issue — but it’s rarely the whole answer.

Good rehab will also include strength, smart loading, proprioception, and neuromuscular control — not just chasing more range.

Train smart — not just flexible 💪

🚨 🔔

🦵 Single-leg strength = game changer

Whether you’re a runner, footballer, or gym-goer — most sports happen one leg at a time.
If rehab never progressed past two feet on the ground, you probably weren’t finished yet.

1️⃣ Relative strength (most important)
For elite field & court athletes:
👉 Single-leg press = 1.8–2.5 × bodyweight per leg
• Minimum acceptable (elite): ~1.8× BW
• Very strong / robust: 2.2–2.5× BW
• Power athletes often exceed this

📌 Example:
80 kg athlete → ideal single-leg press 145–200 kg per leg

2️⃣ Side-to-side asymmetry
Often matters more than absolute load.
• < 10% difference → acceptable
• < 5% difference → ideal / elite standard
• > 10–15% → 🚩 red flag (especially post-injury)
This is non-negotiable for return-to-sport decisions.

3️⃣ Post-injury targets (ACL, knee, hip)
Elite RTS criteria:
• ≥ 90–95% limb symmetry index (LSI)
• Ideally reaching ≥ 2× BW on the involved side
• Strength must be repeatable, not a one-off max

Two legs lifting together ≠ ready to play.
Single-leg capacity tells the real story.

Here are a few single leg exercise options you could use! If you’d like help with an appropriate plan which will be effective for you,don’t hesitate to ask 🙌🏼

🚀 What’s next?
We’re excited to be welcoming VALD Dynamo+, which will allow us to objectively identify strength deficits and side-to-side differences with precision.
The countdown is on.
