Hip Flexor Strains

The hip flexors are a group of muscles in the front of the hip that help you lift the knee and bend at the waist. A strain occurs if these muscles are overstretched or torn.

Hip flexor strains are common among runners and people who play sports which involves accelerating and kicking. Common symptoms of a strain include:
- Pain or tenderness in the front of the hip
- Swelling and bruising
- Tightness or muscle spasms
- Weakness
- Reduced range of motion
- Difficulty with things such as walking, climbing stairs and getting out of a chair difficult

Treatment includes mobility and strengthening exercises to restore muscle function, and hands on treatment may be beneficial to reduce pain and promote muscle healing. Try out some of the beginner exercises below and if you have any questions or require further support our team of physios and sports therapists are on hand to provide personalised treatment and rehabilitation.

One of our Pilates regulars Gillian completed the MS Walk 2025 on Friday with her siblings to raise money for MS research.

They've witnessed first hand how MS can impact a loved ones life. Unbelievably, 2 wonderful women in their family were diagnosed. Most recently their Mum, Pat who many of you will also know. She never complains and has shown bravery and strength since her diagnosis.

MS is an unpredictable and incurable condition that affects people's nervous systems. It can attack suddenly or progress steadily, bringing a range of symptoms which can include sight loss, incontinence, fatigue and mobility problems. No-one with MS can be sure when or how it will affect them next.

If you would like to donate towards life-changing MS research please follow the link below!

Tennis Elbow Beginners Rehab 💪🏻

What is tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow is also known as lateral epicondylitis and is a condition which causes pain around the outside of the elbow and can extend into the forearm.

What causes it?
It is often caused by overuse or repetitive strain of the tendons on the outside of the elbow.

Who is most likely to suffer from it?
Individuals aged 30-50 are the most likely to develop this, especially if they have had a sudden increase in activity, reduced flexibility or strength and complete repetitive occupational tasks such as typing, DIY and manual labour.

Signs and Symptoms
1 – pain or burning on the outside of the elbow, sometimes radiating down the forearm
2 – tenderness around the bone on the outside of the elbow
3 – weak grip strength
4 – pain when lifting, twisting the arm, shaking hands or repetitively using tools

Management
We have attached some beginner exercises to try out if you are experiencing tennis elbow. Other management and prevention tips include:
1 – warm up before activity and stretch the forearm muscles
2 – avoid repetitive wrist extension movements where possible and take breaks
3 – ensure proper technique in sports or work tasks which require repeated wrist extension

If you need support following an injury or would like advice to reduce the risk of injury our team of physios and sports therapists can support by providing personalised rehabilitation and treatment tailored to your needs. Get in touch to book an appointment.

Our fab physio Lauren has just completed a 12-day trek from Andorra to the Mediterranean Sea along the GR11 route in the Pyrenees — covering over 300 km and climbing a total of 14,650 metres in elevation (that’s the equivalent of summiting Ben Nevis 11 times!).

This trek is part of Endurance for Change, a trio of physically demanding challenges Lauren has taken on to encourage others to say yes to adventure, step outside their comfort zones, and raise both awareness and funds for three remarkable charities:

🏔 CALICO – Supporting families affected by childhood cancer
🎿 AFPST – Helping injured serving and veteran military personnel through adaptive snow sports
🧠 Bigmoose – Providing fast access to help for mental health, suicidal ideation, and homelessness

To support Lauren’s efforts, you can visit her fundraising page https://givestar.io/profile/d419dfc9-6eac-4c00-9b42-6e9a442ead36
or follow her journey at , where she shares regular updates and behind-the-scenes moments from her training and adventures.

She’ll be back in clinic soon but with one final challenge still to come, the adventure isn’t over yet - she will be heading to the Wadi Rum desert in October to complete a 5-day ultra marathon! 🐪

Lauren is the perfect physio for any of you who are endurance athletes or like taking on gruelling challenges! She has both the physio knowledge and personal experience to help support you through your journey. Call or message now to book for next week when she's back!
