🧘‍♀️Pilates moves for a Cool Down🧘‍♀️

Cooling down after a workout is just as important as warming up. It helps gradually lower your heart rate and also aids in muscle recovery.❤️‍🩹

Here are three moves we do to cool down after one of our pilates sessions:

🧘‍♀️Shell Stretch or Child’s Pose
🧘‍♀️Proposal Stretch
🧘‍♀️Pigeon Pose

👉Completing these after your next workout will promote recovery and reduce stiffness. If you’d like to learn more about our physio-led pilates classes we provide, take a look here and sign up to our waiting list: https://www.embracephysio.co.uk/pilates/

Do your knees click when you bend down? 👀🦵

Also known as crepitus, the pop coming from your knees can be alarming, but it’s typically not a cause for concern - it’s a common phenomenon that occurs in joints all over the body.

But if those pesky pops are causing discomfort, it might be worth taking some preventative steps.👇

Working on staying active can help lubricate your knee joints and strengthening and stretching the surrounding muscles can help towards reducing clicking.👏

Why not try some of our favourite targeted exercises to help improve your knee mobility, strength and flexibility.🤝

1️⃣ Knee flexion/extension
Sit up straight in a chair with your feet comfortably apart, and a towel placed under one foot. Using your foot, slide the towel under the chair by bending your knee as far as you can. Then, push the towel forward as far as you can by straightening your knee and repeat.

2️⃣ Wall Squat
Stand with your back against a wall with your feet shoulder width apart in front on you. Slide down the wall until your knees are flexed about 45 degrees. Slide back up to return to the starting position then repeat.

3️⃣ Hamstring stretch
Lie on your back. Hold and stabilise the thigh of the affected leg with the hip flexed approximately 90 degrees and then perform a slow knee extensions to a point just before pain is felt. Flex the knee and repeat.

🗓Here at Embrace Physiotherapy, we can help you manage and reduce any knee discomfort you may have. Book in here: https://naomidenby.setmore.com

Valentine’s Injury Prevention Guide ✍️ 📖 💖

❤️‍🔥Love is in the air, but we'd rather you not end up in the clinic this Valentine's Day! Here are some essential tips to keep your romantic gestures injury-free:

💍Getting down on one knee?

Make sure you do a proper warm-up first. Nothing kills the mood quite like your partner having to help you back up... or worse, calling us for help while the ring box is still open.

🌹Lifting 100 roses?

Remember: bend from the knees, not the back! Your spine shouldn't be the one making sacrifices this Valentine's Day.

🍽Marathon dinner date ahead?

Sitting for hours in a fancy restaurant? Use a well-timed bathroom break and do some stretches between courses - your hip flexors will thank you.

Stay safe out there lovers! And remember, if Cupid's arrow hits you, we've got you covered, especially if it hits your back, neck, or knees.💘

Happy Valentine’s Day!🥰
