Your knees carry you through every step, squat, and jump - so letโ€™s make them strong, stable, and pain-free!

Here are some evidence-backed exercises to strengthen and protect your knees

1๏ธโƒฃ Wall Sits - Builds quad endurance & stabilizes your knees.
2๏ธโƒฃ Step-Ups - Improves balance and strengthens quads & glutes.
3๏ธโƒฃ TKEs (Terminal Knee Extensions) - Activates your VMO, which supports patellar stability.
4๏ธโƒฃ Single-Leg RDLs - Boosts balance and strengthens your posterior chain (hamstrings & glutes).

๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ข๐ญ:
โญ Perform 2โ€“3 sets of each, 8โ€“15 reps (or 30โ€“45 sec holds for wall sits) - 2 - 3 x per week.

โญ Keep movements slow and controlled. Focus on form: knees track over 2nd/3rd toe, no collapsing inward.

๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ˆ๐ญ ๐–๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ:
โœ… Strong muscles absorb impact, reducing joint stress
โœ… Improved control = fewer micro-injuries
โœ… Strength + mobility = pain-free performance
โœ… Train smart, not just hard. Your knees will thank you! ๐Ÿ’ช

04/02/2026

Is your Achilles feeling stiff, sore, or painful first thing in the morning?

That tight feeling at the back of the ankle is something we see a lot โ€” especially in walkers, runners, gym-goers and anyone increasing their activity.

Achilles pain often develops gradually and can linger if itโ€™s ignored.

Pushing through it or resting completely rarely solves the problem long term.

โœ”๏ธ The right load
โœ”๏ธ Targeted strength work
โœ”๏ธ Hands-on treatment when needed

โ€ฆcan make a huge difference.

The good news?

Most Achilles issues respond really well to early, evidence-based physiotherapy.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Not sure if yours needs checking?

๐Ÿ‘‹ Meet Andy - the newest member of our team!

Weโ€™re really pleased to be welcoming Andy to Isla Sell Physiotherapy, and heโ€™s very much looking forward to getting started and meeting some of you in clinic and classes.

Andy is a Chartered Physiotherapist, registered with both the HCPC and CSP. He graduated from Plymouth University and his passion for physiotherapy has been shaped by a lifelong involvement in sport and a strong desire to help people move better and feel more confident.

Andy has participated in a wide range of sports including academy football, rugby, ice hockey, running, and golf, giving him a well-rounded understanding of the physical demands placed on the body. This sporting background helps inform his approach to assessment, rehabilitation, and return to activity.

Outside of the clinic, Andy enjoys spending time golfing and walking his dogs, and is a huge football fan!

We hope you will join us in giving Andy a really warm welcome โค
