🎯 SHOULDER RELEASE FOR STIFFNESS + PAIN
Throwback to earlier this year when this client came in struggling with shoulder tightness, limited mobility, and pain with upper body movement.

We focused on manually releasing the Lats, Teres Minor, and Teres Major to help restore range and reduce discomfort.

✅ Instantly felt looser
✅ Improved shoulder mobility
✅ Great for gym-goers, footballers & anyone training overhead

If your shoulder’s still feeling locked up — don’t leave it to get worse.
📍Book in at The Rehab Lab and get it properly assessed.

🎥 Ankle Taping for Support & Stability (Zinc Oxide Tape + Underwrap)
In this video, I show how to tape the ankle using just underwrap and zinc oxide tape — a simple and effective method for providing support, reducing excessive movement, and boosting stability during sport or rehab.

✅ Why it’s important:
Zinc oxide taping is great for preventing re-injury, limiting unwanted motion, and improving joint awareness — especially useful for athletes with a history of ankle sprains or instability.

🕒 When to use it:
• After a mild ankle sprain (with guidance)
• To support weak or unstable ankles during sport
• As part of a return-to-play routine

💡 Reminder: This is a temporary support, not a long-term fix. Rehab and strengthening are key for full recovery. Always seek advice if symptoms persist.

🦵 Understanding ACL Injuries

The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is one of the key stabilisers of the knee — and when it’s injured, it can seriously impact performance, confidence, and daily movement.

ACL injuries are common in footballers, runners, and active individuals — usually occurring during sudden twists, pivots, or awkward landings.

📉 Symptoms often include:
• A “pop” at the time of injury
• Swelling or stiffness
• Instability or giving way

Early assessment, correct rehab, and strengthening are essential to protect the knee long-term and avoid re-injury.

If you’ve recently injured your knee or still don’t feel 100% after a previous injury, it’s worth getting it checked properly.

🚫 The Biggest Mistake You Can Make After an Injury

Too many athletes make this mistake ⬇️

They pull a hamstring… rest a few weeks… feel “fine”… and then jump straight back into training or a game.

And guess what? It goes again.

Recovery isn’t just about rest — it’s about rebuilding.

Here’s the proper structure I follow with my clients at The Rehab Lab:

1️⃣ Early phase – Strengthen the supporting muscles (e.g. glutes, quad, calves ect) so they can take pressure off the injured area
2️⃣ Rebuild the injured muscle – Start with isometrics ➡️ then eccentric ➡️ then concentric work
3️⃣ Return to play – Gradual minutes: 30, 60, 90 across the first few matches

This approach massively reduces re-injury and builds long-term performance.

If you’ve had a recent injury — don’t just sit around waiting for it to “feel better.”

📩 DM “REHAB” if you want a proper plan that gets you back faster and stronger.
