MCR Injury clinic

Don't take the risk.

Let's be clear: "How does that feel?" isn't assessment. It's guesswork.

Every session at MCR includes objective measures—range of motion, strength testing, movement analysis, functional capacity.

Not because we like paperwork. Because data drives decisions.

Without testing, how do you know treatment's working? When to progress? If you're ready to return to activity?
Simple answer: You don't.

Proper treatment includes:

✅ Baseline measurements from day one
✅ Repeated objective testing every 2-3 sessions
✅ Clear markers that guide your treatment plan
✅ Documented evidence you're progressing
✅ Defined criteria for discharge and return to activity

Your recovery is too important to leave to "let's see how you get on."

If they're not measuring it, they can't manage it. And if they can't manage it, you're wasting time and money on hope—not healthcare.

We test. We measure. We track. We adapt based on evidence.

Most people see injury as lost time. We see it differently.

It's the opportunity to address what you've been ignoring.

To build what's been missing.

To fix the imbalances that caused the problem in the first place.

Rehab isn't just about getting back to where you were—it's about coming back better. Stronger. More resilient. With a body that's actually prepared for what you're asking it to do.

But this doesn't happen by accident.

It requires proper assessment, strategic programming, and expert guidance.

Are you padel safe? 🎾

We've seen a 127% increase in ankle and knee injuries from padel in the last 8 months.

The sport's growing faster than people's preparation.

Here's what's landing players in our clinic:

The most common mistake? Going from zero to three sessions a week. Your tendons adapt slower than your enthusiasm.

Start with once weekly, build gradually.

That overhead smash? It's causing more shoulder and back problems than anything else. If it hurts, get it checked before it becomes chronic.

Warm up properly. 5 minutes of gentle hitting isn't enough. You need 10-15 minutes of dynamic movement prep - your body will thank you.

Listen to your body. Sharp pain during play means stop, not push through. Pain 24-48 hours after playing means you've overdone it.

Fatigue in the last 15 minutes of a session is when most injuries happen.

The good news?

Most of these injuries are completely preventable with proper preparation, progressive loading, and movement assessment.

Starting padel or already playing through niggles?

Don't become part of the statistic. Book a movement assessment or DM us for advice. Let's get you playing safely

Stress isn't just in your head—it's in your body.

Work pressure, poor sleep, financial worries, relationship strain—it all adds up. And your body pays the price

What stress feels like: tight muscles, disrupted digestion, weakened immunity, chronic tension, and inflammation.

But here's the thing: you don't need a complete life overhaul to start feeling better.

Sometimes the simplest tools are the most powerful.

A daily walk.
Intentional breathing.
Gentle stretching.
Prioritising sleep.

These aren't luxuries—they're necessities. Small, consistent habits that tell your nervous system it's safe to rest, repair, and reset.

You can't always control the stress, but you can control how you respond to it.

Most people come in just wanting the pain to stop—and that's completely valid.

Pain relief matters. But here's the crucial detail.... healing isn't just about feeling better, it's about GETTING better.

Injured tissues need time to adapt, repair, and rebuild.

Complete treatment isn't just about managing symptoms—it's about restoring integrity to your body.

When done correctly, you don't just recover from injury. You should come back fitter, more resilient, and healthier than you were before.

-Better exercise programming
-Better understanding around nutrition and recovery
-Better sleeping habits
-Better appreciation for the demands on your body

That's the difference between reducing pain and complete recovery .
