That’s a huge change in life expectancy. Did you know we still have 50% off on clinical personal training and supervised exercises classes by physios for you every day of the week. We can help if you need guidance.

Add this to the ever-growing list of reasons you should be strength training…

A new study has revealed that lifting weights three times a week could give you the body of someone nearly eight years younger. Yep, really!

Most injuries don’t happen because people are unfit.
They happen because capacity quietly drops.

Interesting podcast about KNEES

High end meniscal tear advice and what’s happening internationally for meniscal injuries in atheletes.

Everyone should be treated to these standards but it’s simply not possible if you are on NHS care. You’ll wait well over a year and they’ll choose to take you through conservative care options unless your knee is locked.

I think the key messages I hear is evolving science is saying young acute meniscal tears need surgery earlier.

Degenerative tears try physio first, but then chronic conditions go on the longest waiting lists.

Meniscal injuries also sit on waiting lists with severe degenerative orthopaedic patients. You can hobble on in comparison to these individuals who are in severe pain, so you’ll wait ages.

Consider private health insurance. It’s not that expensive and it could radically improve your health and performance and prevent you waiting.

Also they stress when returning to sport, we shouldn’t skrimp on rehab. They debate how rehab should be done and the importance of timing loading, and bespoke pitch side physio before we return atheletes to the game.

This is fabulous. I spent a lot of my career working with Paralympic athlete’s and I fully support initiatives like this to support the next generation of talent.
