Kinesiology tape reduces pain and disability in female patients with chronic low back pain. - A recent study by Macedo et al has shown improvements in pain levels and a reduction in a disability measure in those with chronic low back pain following one application of kinesiology tape! This study included 108 females between the ages of 18 and 50, who had “chronic, non-specific low back pain” for greater than three months. The study demonstrated a significant reduction in pa...in and disability scores when the women were re-tested after wearing two strips of tape over their low back region for three days- one on each side of the spine. This improvement occurred whether the tape was applied “correctly” (with a small amount of tape tension whilst the subject flexed forward), or if it was applied with the patients in an upright position, without any tape tension (what we would call a “postural application” or one for cueing). The reduction in pain did not occur in the control group (no intervention) or to a significant level in the group that had “Micropore” applied- a non stretchy tOf the three groups that received tape interventions, the kinesiology tape applied “correctly”, the kinesiology tape applied in neutral and the micropore group, there was some reduction in pain levels reported in all three groups, compared with very little change in the control group. This may indicate that any novel sensory input may be helpful in reducing pain in chronic low back conditions. However, only the two kinesiology tape groups had a reduction in pain.

Proud as a .... I know you’ve got soaring temperatures back home but I bet you wish you had a pool and a peacock too of course! #summer #holiday #cyprus #heatwave @elliezambartas @daniel_z1892

As temperatures rise across Europe this weekend remember to drink plenty of water. We're constantly losing water through our sweat & urine and need to replace it regularly, we actually need to sip water constantly throughout the day even if we're not thirsty. If we don't stay hydrated then our energy levels & brain function deteriorates causing headaches, mood swings & concentration impairment. We should be drinking at least 2 litres of water each day and even more in these hotter temperatures! #temperature #hothothot #sun #summer #heatwave #water #drinkmorewater #hydration

Is your training taking its toll on your muscles. Then why not try sports maintenance massage. It helps increase performance, prevents injuries and aids recovery in between training sessions. #sportsmassage #sportsinjury #sportsinjuries #achesandpains #training #running #cycling #football #rugby #tennis #weights #weightlifting #gym #exercising #triathlon #swimming #sport #sports #kenilworth #leamingtonspa #warwick #coventry #leamingtontherapycentre @ Leamington Therapy Centre

It’s in aid of ABF - The Soldiers' Charity; the charity raises money for our soldiers, veterans and their families in their times of greatest need. (You can also win a free massage donated by ourselves!)
If you can’t attend t...hat then you can still support him and the charity as Nick will be taking part in a 24 hour cyclothon on Tuesday 25th to raise even more funds for the charity‪ and for £5.00 you can sponsor Nick by guessing how far he will cycle in 24 hours; nearest correct guess wins £100.
