A huge well done to Julia, who completed the Athens Marathon yesterday! 🏃♀️🇬🇷
In the weeks leading up to the race, it was touch and go whether she’d be able to run due to back and hip pain — but with patience, good rehab, and plenty of determination, she made it to the start line and crossed the finish.
If you’re a runner and looking for advice with an injury or are looking support with your training building to your first marathon get in touch!

Technique of week! Spanish Squats 🏋🏻♂️
❖ Loop Resistance Band around a sturdy frame at knee height
❖ Step into band and position behind knee joint (ensure band is flat not twisted)
❖ Assume your squat feet position then shuffle feet slightly backwards until you find enough tension on the band that it ‘wants to slightly pull you forwards’ (Resist this tension)
❖ Descend back into your squat keeping shins upright - slowly & controlled, 3 secs approx
❖ To a depth according to your mobility, sit back into your squat without hinging forwards!
❖ Hold for 2 secs approx - Static strength
❖ Power upwards through legs - 1 sec approx.
❖ Push subtly back against the band - resisting the tension that wants to pull you forwards at top of the movement
❖ A fantastic quad strengthening/knee friendly exercise with the band providing reduced pressure around the knee joint & constant tension on the muscle throughout the movement

💥 Technique of the Week: Landmine Squat & Press 💥
Looking for a powerful full-body movement that builds strength, control, and coordination?
The Landmine Squat and Press is a fantastic way to challenge your legs, core, and shoulders — all while promoting stability and safe overhead pressing mechanics.
Here’s how to perform it 👇
1️⃣ Grip – Hold the end of the barbell with both hands, thumbs central.
2️⃣ Start Position – Bar tucked close to your chest.
3️⃣ Feet – Step slightly back so you’re angled towards the bar (longer legs = feet further back).
4️⃣ Squat – Lower down slow and controlled (~3 secs) to your comfortable depth without hinging forward.
5️⃣ Hold – Pause for ~2 secs at the bottom for static strength.
6️⃣ Drive & Press – Power up through your legs straight into an overhead press (~1 sec).
7️⃣ Lock Out – Arms close to your ears without arching your lower back. Hold for ~2 secs.
8️⃣ Control – Return the bar to your chest and repeat.
✅ Great for:
• Building leg & shoulder strength
• Improving power transfer
• Enhancing core stability
Try adding this to your next session for a functional strength boost 💪

💪 Technique of the Week: Fitball Bridge Push–Pullover
This one’s a real full-body challenge — combining power, control, and stability all in one movement.
✅ Start seated on a Fitball with the weight at chest height
✅ Walk forward until your upper back and head are supported on the ball
✅ Engage your glutes and hamstrings to hold a strong bridge
✅ Press the weight powerfully towards the ceiling (Power 💥)
✅ Slowly lower the weight behind your head (Control 🎯)
✅ Keep those hips lifted — no dipping!
The harder you press, the more the ball moves… and the more your core, glutes, and hamstrings have to work to keep you steady.
🔥 Great for building strength, coordination, and dynamic stability.
Ginette has been running for years — from completing the London Marathon, tackling a virtual marathon during Covid, to finishing countless half marathons including Kew Gardens and Northampton. Her most recent and truly amazing achievement? 🏃♀️✨ The Loch Ness Marathon!
Loren first met Ginette many years ago when she came for advice about running aches and pains. Over time, we’ve helped her through knee pain, a stress fracture, hamstring issues and a few very tight muscles along the way!
Through personalised strengthening programmes and regular sports massages, Ginette has stayed strong, injury-free, and ready for every challenge. 💪
What makes her journey even more inspiring is why she runs.
Ginette’s recent races, especially Loch Ness, have been in loving memory of her teenage grandson, Charlie, who sadly passed away earlier this year after a courageous battle with Sarcoma. 💛 Charlie was a talented Rugby player and season ticket holder Northampton Saints
Ginette runs for Charlie — and, as many runners will understand, for her own mental and physical wellbeing too.
We’re so proud to support Ginette on her running journey — helping her stay strong, active, and doing what she loves most.
You’re a true inspiration, Ginette.

A massive well done to our client Jack who completed his first marathon in 3:31! 🥇 🏃🏻♀️

‘ Laura has been amazing at preparing me for my first marathon. She has taken time to help me identify my weaknesses and put strategies in place to strengthen these area . She also been on hand at any point when I’ve had a question or concern about my training and got me in to see me if I’ve had concerns. I would highly recommend!’

😊 Another Happy Client! 🏃♂️
A massive congratulations to Ian, who represented the England Masters Team in the England/Wales Masters Trail Race! 🇬🇧
After overcoming an ankle injury with the support of our physio team at LMC Physio, Ian took on a challenging, hilly off-road half marathon and finished in an amazing 1:21:53! 💪🔥
We’re so proud to support Ian on his journey — from injury recovery to race day — and love seeing our clients achieve incredible things both on and off the course. 🌟
If you’re recovering from an injury, training for an event, or just want to feel your best, our physio and sports massage team are here to help! 🙌
✅ Stand tall, feet hip width apart, holding weight tucked in at chest height
✅ Bend at Knees performing a sitting action (aka Squat) whilst simultaneously pressing the weight directly away from chest
✅ Descend with control (3 secs approx.)
Pause at the bottom of the movement for 2 secs approx
✅ Power through your legs whilst bringing weight back to chest as you come to stand (1 sec approx.)
✅ The counter balancing effect of the weight will help you achieve greater depth - fab for anyone with perhaps mobility issues around hips/calves & also provides an upper body push movement for your triceps/shoulders/chest
