A very common question and a very simple answer.

You need ✨both✨

There’s so much more to flexibility than trying to touch your toes.

It’s about lengthening and strengthening your muscles all at once.

Some of the main benefits of stretching and mobility training simultaneously include:

➡️ improved blood circulation
➡️ improved posture
➡️ decrease risk of future injuries
➡️ decrease muscle soreness
➡️ improve performance
➡️ increase muscle strength
➡️ helps reduce and manage stress and anxiety

And so much more! ✨

Also big announcement coming later today 😁

✨Hint✨ this post is a clue 😌

✨Repetitive Strain Injury✨

This has been an extremely common condition I’ve been seeing during lockdown with so many people working from home.

The diagnosis literally speaks for itself 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is an injury that occurs from repetitive motion and can also be known an overuse injury, mostly related to the upper limb (I.e. forearm, hand, wrist etc)

As the name clearly tells us, this condition doesn’t occur instantly.. it’s a ✨gradual build up of damage ✨ to not only your muscles but to your tendons, nerves and joints as well.

Now most cases can be minor however those can turn into a nasty chronic injuries if not addressed ✨as soon as possible✨

Now before you panic there are some early signs you can catch before it gets there:

➡️ tingling / pins and needles
➡️ swelling
➡️ sharp shooting pain
➡️ weakness
➡️ losing grip / dropping objects
➡️ pain / tenderness

✨ What should you do if you suspect an RSI? ✨

➡️ stop the activity that’s causing you pain immediately
➡️ ice - this will help with the pain and swelling
➡️ call your physio 📲👩🏻‍⚕️✨😎

✨How can a physio help?✨

Because RSI targets various structures there is no recipe or quick fix ❌ treatments will vary based on structure involved ❌

➡️ your physio will assess your pain, the joint as well as the muscle groups involved.
➡️ once we’ve identified what’s causing your pain we will use various modalities to treat / manage the pain
➡️ we will aim to improve muscle strength and range
➡️ advise on correct postural techniques / advise on safe alternative actions that aren’t as harmful
➡️ because RSI is an occurring injury we will include regular follow ups to manage the condition

Most common victims ... those sitting at their desks 👀

I know you’ve heard this many times but pleeeease ✨take breaks often✨you’ll be doing your body a kindness!

Also ❌stress ❌ has been known to exacerbate this condition 🥴

but that’s a post for another time 👀

Hi guys my name is Tarren 🙋🏻‍♀️ and here’s my story ⤵️

I graduated from UWC in 2015 where I received my Physiotherapy Bsc Honours Degree ✨🎓 I loved EVERY minute of my time there. (Maybe not so much literature reviews 🤔)

After graduation I went on to do my Community Service year in 2016 at Cecile Makiwane Hospital in East London. Probably the most ✨unforgettable ✨ year of my life. I made friends for life and learned so much about myself professionally and personally.

Coming back to CT I started working in a private hospital in 2017 for a little over 2 years & while I loved the hospital life my heart wasn’t settled just yet, between you & I, it’s always been my dream ✨helping young men and woman who were passionate about their sport excel and grow and reach their goals✨that is the type of physio I wanted to be.

So naturally I went on to start new adventure working for a medical aid company to review clinical cases.

⁉️⁉️⁉️

Didn’t see that one coming did you? 😅

In all honesty the opportunity came up and I was so excited to try something new outside of the hospital life and I took it.

It was daunting, exciting and ‼️very‼️outside of my comfort zone but that’s how you grow isn’t it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

However my heart still wasn’t settled and I realized just how much I missed patient care.

I had an idea to start my own practice and give myself a chance to be the physio I knew in my heart I wanted to and could be. I had this idea for about almost a year before I actually went through with it.

It was the most ✨liberating and terrifying ✨decision on my life (and I’d like to add TSP was official just days before the hard lockdown but that’s a story for another time 😅)

One whole year, a global pandemic and a few lockdown levels later and here we are.

My practice is almost a year old 🥺🤍 that is insane and I’m so grateful and thankful for everyone I’ve managed to help in the last year. Thank you putting your trust and faith in me and I can’t wait to continue grow with you guys.

So excited for the future of this practice and for you to come along with me on this journey 🤍✨

Sound familiar?

This is a typical symptom of ✨ Sciatica ✨

Lower back pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg.

Sciatica is usually caused by irritation, inflammation, pinching or compression of the sciatic nerve.

This is a condition that could have been developed over time or spontaneously due to trauma and / or injury (maybe a sports injury or bending over “funny” )

Now that the boring stuff is out the way ✨ how can your Physio help you? ✨

Few of the many treatment methods your physio would use :

➡️ joint mobilisation to help prevent stiffness
➡️ soft tissue release to release muscle tension and pain
➡️ strengthen muscle groups specifically your core to reduce pain and improve function
➡️ neural mobilization - just a fancy way of saying we’ll help stretch out the nerve and get it mobile again
➡️ assist with gentle (sometimes) stretches for the lower back, glutes and hamstrings - the most affected areas!

Have you ever experienced Sciatica?
What were your symptoms?

What comes to your mind when you hear the term “self-care”?

A lot of people automatically think pampering, face masks on a Sunday or perhaps rewarding yourself with something nice at the end of your to do list.. although these are great gestures they are also very feeble acts of self care..

✨Self care involves looking after your mental and physical well being✨

Are you feeding your body with all the right nutrients? Are you hydrating? Are you moving your body? Are you also resting your body? Are you treating yourself as kindly as you do others? Are you taking note of what depletes you mentally? How are you coping? What are your stress relievers?

What are the steps you’re taking to tap into your authentic strong self?

“Every act of self care is a powerful declaration: I am on my side” 🌸✨
