🌟🌟THE IMPORTANCE OF A NEUTRAL SPINE🌟🌟 Over the next coming weeks I will be reviewing types of posture. Posture is extremely overlooked in daily life. A huge number of my clients sit at work desks for 8 hours per day or complete manual labour jobs both placing pressure on the body/posture.
The Kyphotic Spine -This usually arises from poor posture when sitting and standing in a flexed position. ... This position can cause: - shoulder, chest and neck stiffness- these muscles will become short and tight - unable to stabilise the spine - Loss of range of movement - Compromise ability to breathe efficiently- diaphragm becomes compressed - Numbness and tingling— due to internal rotation and forward collapsed position - Head extends away from the body- leading to neck pain and headaches - When sitting down your lower body deactivates- glutes - Lower back pain- with the glutes turned off- lumbar spine collapses creating a compression on the lower discs. - Jaw Pain

I started my Sports Injury Clinic business 10 years ago this September 😁, absolutely crazy how quick those 10 years have gone. I was always apprehensive about taking the risk of setting up my own business at 21 years of age however the reward and achievement has been amazing. Always take that opportunity, good things will progress if you have the passion to achieve. #sportstherapist sportstherapy #sportsinjury #sportsrehabilitation #positivevibes #ownbusiness

TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
Small electrical impulses are delivered to the injured area, this can be felt as tingling/twitching sensation through the area where the pads are placed.
It helps to reduce pain signals, which can help to relieve pain and relax muscles, it helps to stimulate endorphins which act as natural painkillers, increases circulation, healing, motion and function.
... TENS can be used for: Arthritis pain in the joints sports injuries including sprains, strains, tendon or ligament injury. can be used for muscle soreness from overuse, inflammatory conditions.

Have a positive happy Monday. Ready to start work I have 7 clients today so going to be a busy day. 👍🏼.

I hear this a lot with my clients.... I don’t have time to stretch....I don’t have time to ice or complete rehabilitation exercises. However if you really want to see results, improve and feel better then you will make the time 👍🏼. Even 5-10 minutes a day will be better than nothing. Make that change and make time for what’s important to you. #sportstherapy #deeptissuemassage #positivevibes #maketimeforyourself

Another Wednesday at Titans 👍🏼 doing the job I love. Time for Chris Jones to get his deep tissue massage predominantly on his shoulder to help with an ongoing rotator cuff injury. @titansgym.rayleigh. #sportstherapy #sportsinjury #deeptissuemassage #acupuncture.

🌟🌟THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CORE STABILITY MUSCLES.
Core stability is often overlooked. I speak about core stability on a daily basis to most of my clients especially those that are suffering with acute/chronic lower back pain. I cannot emphasise enough how much core stability is linked with spinal stability. The abdominal muscles ie: 6 pack is NOT the core stabilising muscles as most would believe. The core stabilising muscles are located in the centre of the body and help to s...tabilise the hips/shoulders, trunk and torso. They include the transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, the pelvic floor, multifidus, erector spinae and the diaphragm. These muscles also help to transfer forces from the upper and lower body as well as reducing excessive loads on the spine. Those who have a strong core will have good posture, better balance, improved movement and are less likely to become injured.
2 of the muscles involved can be seen on the diagram attached.

It’s always good to start the week with new personal and business goals. Time management is important when juggling mummy life and my business but I love what I do. Start the week on a positive 👍🏼. #positivevibes

Body pump time 👍🏼💪🏼 Due to juggling work and baby I haven’t been in the gym that much. This is going to hurt 🙈.

I see this a lot with many of my clients. We all tend to abuse the body physically and mentally meaning that we are unable to work and perform at the best of our ability.
Take care of the body you only get this chance once, make it happen, strive to achieve your dreams/goals, surround yourself with positive people, complete daily mobility, yoga/stretching, deep tissue massage, self massage techniques to help improve your performance and daily life.
Happy Monday 😁.

🌟🌟🌟The Benefits of using RICE on sprains and strains
A sprain is a injury whereby the ligaments or capsule around the joint becomes torn. A strain is an injury involving the muscles or tendons. Both sprains and strains can be treated immediately with the use of Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.
REST- Stop the activity immediately along with resting of the injured area to help prevent further injury. Although rest is advised it is beneficial to keep the joint/area moving ...within a comfortable range to prevent further stiffening. ICE- ice packs, cooling methods can be used for up to 20 minutes at a time to help reduce inflammation around the area if any has appeared, pain is also reduced due to the ice causing a numbing affect around the area. When using ice packs make sure that there is protection between the skin and the ice pack. COMPRESSION- can keep swelling under control this can include the use of a bandage. ELEVATE- raise the affected area above the heart to help reduce swelling/pain/discomfort
