Tendon pain? How? Repetitive strain injury is gen Tendon pain? How? Repetitive strain injury is generally the culprit. What? Inflammation is produced by the body to protect the tendon so it doesn't injure further. This inflammation is painful. Stopping the inflammation cycle is key! Gradual loading of the tendon is a must! It is the most and well researched treatment plan for tendon pain. Why? This is done so the muscle belly can get stronger and get the tendon to stop working overtime! Hope everyone checked out the story of wrist strengthening. Let us know if you have any questions!
We love happy customers! Personal note from Dwan We love happy customers! Personal note from Dwan - "Clinical exercise classes is how I get out of pain for longer. My goal is to show you how to do the same. Be stronger than your pain!"

A common wrist symptom is weakness or pain in your A common wrist symptom is weakness or pain in your wrist and forearm. I lot of the time it can be hugely contributed by a Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). Labourers, desk workers, Myotherapist, painters, mums are all the type of patients we see commonly with wrist pain. Some actions include typing, tiling, washing the dishes etc. Generally speaking we can't stop the movement we are doing but we can teach you the correct biomechanics of what you are doing so you can do it without causing extra load on your wrist. Rest at night using a home made splint may be a good idea followed by adding strength to your forearm and most importantly your back so your wrist is protected by the bigger muscles. Have a question, email us and we can easily answer them for you!
More and more patients are doing Clinical Exercise More and more patients are doing Clinical Exercise classes with us to help them to prevent injury and get strong without doing the exercise wrong and without getting injured!
Do your hips click? Do you have pain lying on your Do your hips click? Do you have pain lying on your side or getting out of the car? Is your hip pain coming from your back/ pelvis or hip? WHY: Most of the time it is due to the joint sitting in a wrong position in its socket and or the tendons around it being inflamed and over worked because the muscle of that tendon is too weak. We also see it as a major #backpain contributor. TIP - Spiky ball - Gluteal muscles, around the hip and hip flexors. Foam roll - ITB Movement therapy - Hip extensions kneeling (with affected hip back) Strengthening - Do some Glut bridges off a bench before starting your day. 3x10 Do some lower leg drops (keeping your back in contact with the ground and ribs tucked in) to strengthen your lower abs. 3x5 * If what we recommend isn't working, you may need to get specifically accessed and treated. :)
Feeling a little unmotivated this year with Covid? Feeling a little unmotivated this year with Covid? Try set some weekly, monthly or yearly goals?

Ive tried journaling more often and its too hard to fit in! Instead I try meditate every day which is more doable for me!
Having a break over Christmas and New Year feels g Having a break over Christmas and New Year feels great at the time, but our bodies can suffer as we get back into the swing of our regular computer routine. Apart from having a great desk set up (which we would be more than happy to help with), movement therapy can also be very helpful. What's awesome about this, is that you don't necessarily need to come in for treatment, we can do a session online if it suits you better! First step is finding the right movement to help calm down the pain and contraction. Second step is to get it stronger and it's helpers stronger such as the shoulders and third step is to assess if anything in your environment such as your desk set up needs adjusting. If you want to find out more we are always happy to have a chat 😊
It's back into the swing of it with most of us hea It's back into the swing of it with most of us heading back to work now. If you're not back at work just yet, you're probably looking at the long list of things you "didn't" achieve during your break. I love a good to do list but sometimes it can rule our life a little too strongly. I myself am happy I didn't achieve everything on my holiday to do list because it means I had fun and relaxed a little! Hopefully you are feeling the same, hey, we have all year to achieve our to dos! Don't forget to make sure your to do list is aligned with your goals. See our recent goal setting tips post to ensure you are setting some quality goals for 2021. 😀
