Releasing Neck Tension ✅  
  
Neck feeling tight? You’re not alone - the muscles that support and move your head are some of the most common sources of stiffness, reduced mobility, and headaches.  
  
For this client at Crouch Physio, Advanced Soft Tissue Therapist Rohan is working through key muscles that often become overloaded:  
  
✨ Upper trapezius
✨ Levator scapulae
✨ Scalenes
✨ Sternocleidomastoid (SCM)
✨ Suboccipitals  
  
These muscles are essential for posture, breathing mechanics, and coordinated cervical movement. Research shows they’re also among the first to tense up with stress, prolonged sitting, screen use, and altered movement patterns. Studies have linked tightness in these areas to tension-type headaches, reduced cervical range of motion, and neck pain associated with forward-head posture.  
  
By applying targeted soft-tissue therapy, we work to:  
✔️ Restore normal muscle length and tone
✔️ Improve joint mobility
✔️ Decrease pain sensitivity
✔️ Reduce headache frequency
✔️ Support healthier, long-term movement patterns  
  
The goal isn’t just short-term relief, it’s improving how your neck function so you can move, work, and train with less pain and more freedom: LONG TERM RESILIENCE 📈

💪 Grip strength: Your hidden strength indicator! 
 
Did you know that how hard you can squeeze a hand-dynamometer could give us a window into your general muscular health and functional ability? At Crouch Physio we use a standardised grip‐strength test as part of our assessment because it’s quick, reliable and very telling. 
 
✅ Why we test it
 
• Stronger grip = better functional tasks: lifting shopping, turning door handles, supporting yourself when rising from a chair.
 
• Research links low grip strength with higher risk of disability, longer recovery, and even increased risk of mortality. 
 
📏 How we test it
 
• We seat you with your shoulder relaxed, elbow at 90°, forearm neutral. 

• You squeeze on the dynamometer as hard as you can, usually 3 times per hand, then we take the best reading.
 
• We compare your result to normative values and track change over time. 
 
🧠 What this means for you
 
• If your grip strength is below expected for your age/sex, we’ll include targeted hand/forearm/upper-limb strengthening and functional tasks in your plan.
 
• As you improve, we’ll see that grip result increase; a concrete measure of progress. 
 
📣 Advanced Soft Tissue Therapist Rohan takes us through things we can be doing to improve our grip strength 🎥

ACL REHAB ⚽️🏀 🏈🎾 
 
Rehab after an ACL injury isn’t finished when the knee feels “better.” True recovery means preparing the athlete for the demands of their specific sport: sprinting, cutting, jumping, decelerating, and reacting under pressure ✅ 
 
Research shows that athletes who complete sport-specific rehabilitation before returning are up to 84% less likely to re-injure their ACL (Grindem et al., 2016; Buckthorpe, 2019). 
 
✅ Strength + Power
✅ Plyometrics + Agility
✅ Change of direction
✅ Cognitive & reactive drills 
 
At Crouch Physio, we bridge the gap between clinic and competition, turning rehab into performance. Because “pain-free” isn’t the same as “game-ready.” ⚽🏀🏈 
 
Here are a few examples of rehabilitation drills we may give to our clients approaching their final stage of ACL rehab 🎥  
 
We use cutting-edge technology, including VALD Force Plates and strength dynamometers, to make data-driven decisions about each client’s care. Our access to premium rehabilitation facilities including full pitch use for return to sport training, ensures a seamless transition from rehab to performance 📈
