The wanderer returns! Physio Jade is back from her travels. Here on a Tuesday evening starting from tomorrow :)

This is a great combination of stretches for the lower back. On the left is the prayer stretch (aka childs pose) and on the right we is the baby cobra stretch

Ankle mobility is essential for performance but can also make day to day activity easier/more comfortable too. Here is one of our exercise suggestions to help increase ankle mobility… it can also help with your squat technique! Using weight close to your chest allows you to get into a deep squat position. Make sure your feet and knees don’t roll in!

Do you have stiff ankles and toes? Give this a try, go into a partial squat then whilst holding this move up onto your toes. Lower down slowly and repeat.

Neck tension can cause neck and shoulder pain as well as headaches. Fascial release can be a great way of stretching not only the muscles of the neck but the fascia that surrounds them. Fascia is a soft tissue that connects and stabilises muscles, kind of like clingfilm! Here's an example of fascial release on the scalene muscles of the neck #tension #muscle #tightness #movement #stiffness #neck #shoulder #pain #softtissuerelease

Scapula winging can cause problems with the shoulder. It often occurs due to injury but can sometimes be down to weakness and poor muscle firing patterns. We can use scapular mobilisations to reduce stiffness and encourage the scapula to start following new movement patterns

Gone over on your ankle?? Ankle sprains are an incredibly common, about 85% of ankle sprains cause damage to the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. We use deep transverse frictions alongside other manual techniques and exercise prescription to regain full range and strength

We’re all guilty of bad posture at some point throughout the day. We’re only human! Give these stretches a try for your upper/mid back. Hold for 30 seconds each #mobility #upperback #stretch #move #movement #flexibility #Anatomy #Manchester #spine #getmoving

Need to work on your balance but need something a little easier? Maybe you’re in the early stages after injury or surgery. Here’s an adaptation of the tree pose. Keep your hips facing forward

Dry needling is a tissue based acupuncture technique. Often it's used to treat muscle tension but it can also help ligament/tendon injuries and reduce scar tissue #acupuncture #dryneedling #sportstherapy #muscletear #tension #tendonitis #ligamentsprain #sportsrehab #physio

The tree pose in yoga is great for improving balance. There are different variations for all abilities. Keep an eye out for these in future posts! #yoga #balance #singleleg #Anatomy #Manchester #Chester #stretching #mobility #strength #teacher #student

Great place and facilities & staff are great. Have had acupuncture sessions plus massages for a locked up shoulder. Highly recommend them!

Fantastic place. They do proper massages. If you have any kind of ailment, this is your place! Always been great, whoever it’s been with.

Fabulous wouldn't go anywhere else now for diagnosis or treatment.

Been to see Sally Scott today, amazing result! Gone from feeling 90 years old to as normal as you can be at 36 weeks pregnant?! Girls on front desk were amazing too as my sat nav decided to take me several streets away!! Thank you so much!
