So much room for activities // Walking
Last week we considered Crossfit as a form of exercise and keeping fit, mentioning that a lot of people (clinicians and patients alike) tell us how they consider it to be dangerous and has a high rate of injury. Hopefully we helped dispel this myth.
Perhaps at the other side of the scale people tell us that what they are happy to do as a form of exercise is walking. Walking great for a number of reasons, it’s free, easy, accessible, var...iable, stimulating, has benefits on par with jogging/running/cycling and can be done with friends!
For all the above reasons get out and walk! Just remember, it simply will NOT have the benefits of other forms of exercise if you’re not keeping at a brisk pace! Get those arms moving, chest up and look like you’re on a mission!

So much room for activities // Crossfit
One of the most common throw-away comments I hear both in clinical practice and between therapists is that crossfit is dangerous/unsafe/high risk/causes injuries.
It’s unsurprising that many people make this assumption if they’ve ever watched one of the Netflix documentaries or seen a clip of the Crossfit Games. The truth is, what you’re witnessing is not your typical Crossfit session, rather the culmination of years of training for a... distinct event by athletes who have dedicated their training, nutrition and recovery to that same event.
Nevertheless, is it dangerous? If you’re suspicious, intrigued or firmly believe it to be so, have a read of this fantastic blog which examines the evidence to date:

If you can’t be bothered, as the old saying goes... nope.

SDK Physiotherapy // Myth #1
How many people do you know with a slipped disc? A handful? 11? 23?
Truth be told, nobody has ever had or will ever have a slipped disc, it’s physiologically impossible.
... Why is this myth important to bust? Well firstly it is simply incorrect. Moreover it sends the message that our back is weak or ‘out of line’ (among other misconceptions) and thus affecting our perception of pain and our faith in rehab.
