Will Bron Breakker make WrestleMania? A Physio’s verdict. 👨‍⚕️🤼‍♂️
Body:
The big question in wrestling right now: Can you recover from hernia surgery in time for the biggest show of the year?
I’m breaking down the 3 Phases of Recovery that I use with my patients in Coventry. Whether you are a WWE superstar or just trying to get back to the gym, the timeline usually looks like this:
1️⃣ Phase 1 (Wk 1-2): Do not lift anything heavier than a kettle! Protect the wound—if you have to cough, brace it with a pillow!
2️⃣ Phase 2 (Wk 2-4): We start getting the "Go Muscles" (Transverse Abdominis) working again and maybe some light cycling.
3️⃣ Phase 3 (Wk 4+): Gradual return to weights. But for heavy grappling? You are usually looking at 8 weeks minimum.
So, will he make it? It’s going to be very tight. 😬
If you are recovering from surgery and need guidance getting back to sport, drop me a message.


​⚠️ Clinical Disclaimer:
While I am a Physio, I am not your Physio. The exercises and timelines discussed here are based on standard UK guidelines (NHS & Private) for uncomplicated inguinal hernia repairs.
​Every repair is different (mesh vs. suture, open vs. laparoscopic). Always prioritize the specific instructions given to you by your consultant surgeon.
​❌ If you experience sharp pain, fever, or wound issues, contact your GP or surgical team immediately.

Bron Breakker is out… is your deadlift safe? 🏋️‍♂️⚠️

The wrestling world is talking about Bron Breakker’s hernia, but this is a massive topic for anyone who lifts weights.
A hernia isn't always caused by one dramatic lift. It’s often the result of cumulative pressure weakening the inguinal canal over time.
Here are 3 tips from a Physio to keep you safe:
1️⃣ Stop holding your breath for everything: The Valsalva manoeuvre (holding breath to brace) spikes your internal pressure. Save it for your 1-rep maxes, not your warm-up sets!
2️⃣ Train the "Go" Muscles: Don't just focus on the six-pack. You need strong Obliques and Transverse Abdominis to actually protect your groin.
3️⃣ Watch for "The Drag": If you feel a dragging sensation in your groin while lifting, that is your warning sign. Stop and get it sorted.

If you’re worried about a ni**le or a bulge, drop me a message or book into the Coventry clinic.


High-performance return-to-sport protocols are aggressive and supervised daily by medical teams. For us "regular mortals," the return to heavy lifting should be much more gradual (usually 6-12 weeks).
UK Patients: If you suspect a hernia, see your GP. If you have sudden severe pain, call 111 or visit A&E.

That pre-workout buzz might be killing the vibe. 📉🚫

Are you using ni****ne pouches to get a boost in the gym? You might be getting a great pump in your biceps, but you’re likely affecting the pump where it actually matters.

Here is the hard truth: Ni****ne is a vasoconstrictor. It tightens your blood vessels and limits blood flow—the exact opposite of what you need for an er****on.

It also spikes your "fight or flight" system, making it much harder for your body to relax and perform.

Let’s stop choking our vascular systems, lads. If you have questions about pelvic health or performance, drop me a message or book in at the Coventry clinic. 📍

Mind your bits! ☘️

Stop power posing at the toilet! 🚽🛑

We need to talk about what your pelvic floor hates... your tough guy routine.

Lads, we’re told standing is the manly thing to do. But here is the physio truth: when you stand, your pelvic floor has to work to stabilise you, which restricts the urethra.

If you deal with:
🔹 Incomplete emptying
🔹 Urinary frequency
🔹 That annoying post-void dribble..Try sitting down. It allows the muscles to relax so you can empty the tank properly.

And don't worry—nobody is watching you! (It’s just like the gym, everyone thinks people are looking, but they aren't).
Drop me a message if you need to get your pelvic health sorted in Coventry.

Lads, we need to talk about jelqing. 🛑
I’ve been seeing more and more men in my Coventry clinic lately dealing with the aftermath of jelqing. If you aren’t familiar, it’s a series of tractions some men do to try and increase size.
The reality? It can cause serious spasming in the tissues, sending your nervous system into a protective "clench" mode. This often leads to:
Chronic pain and anxiety.
Hard Flaccid – where the tissue becomes rubbery, cold, and stays in a flaccid state.
If you’ve tried this and are noticing changes, don’t start doing Kegels. They can often make this particular issue worse. Instead, we focus on down-training—teaching those muscles and the nervous system how to relax again.
It is very treatable, so don’t suffer in silence. Drop me a message or book in at the clinic to get it sorted.
