This is a nice little article for those of you involved in ANY activity that involves running and suffer from shin splints.
There's a couple of cracking exercises to try as part of a warm up before you start your activity which will go a long way to help prevent the onset of shin splints

Awesome night last night with @jws_fitness_wellbeing and his outdoor charity bootcamp for @alexanderdevinehospice ūüŹÉ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹūü§ł‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹūüŹÉ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹ -- As promised, I would match all donations given for post bootcamp treatment so there will be ¬£100 on it's way to the event page for the children's hospice this evening @ Newbury, Berkshire

Does this happen to you when you're out on a walk or a run? Or even just in general day to day life? ---- We're in peak rambling and running season and if you're finding this happening to you, it's likely you could be needing some ankle balance and stabilisation training ūüŹÉ‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹūüŹÉ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹūüŹÉ‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹ ---- If you're thinking your ankles are an issue, get in contact, get it assessed, get it sorted ūü§ô ... ---- Also a big good luck to anyone running the London Marathon this weekend and for anyone with upcoming 10ks/half marathons/marathons. Enjoy the moment! If you need some assistance with post race recovery, get in contact and bring your medal with you for a special discountūüŹÖūüéĖ ---- Have a great weekend one and all!

Happy Monday all! -- So back pain, we all get it from time to time (even that once great philosopher Britney Spears) - and as reported by NHS Choices, is the most common cause of work-related absence. However it's NOT usually serious and RARELY requires a scan (X-ray, MRI etc) -- The back itself is one of the most robust structures in the body and the pain itself can be a sudden incident or even develops over time.... -- This can be caused by a whole wide range of factors including, and not exclusive to: muscles, joint, weight gain, stress, trauma, illness, inactivity -- If you're struggling with your back pains, get in contact via DM or: ‚ėéÔłŹ 07990078121 ūüíĽ mjpsportstherapy@gmail.com

Afternoon all - hope you're having a cracking week -- If any of you saw me out and about over the past 10 months at a plethora of Fun Runs and White Collar Boxing then you'll remember any money that I took on the day for Sports Massage treatments would all be donated to a charity really close to me. I've finally collated all the funds and delighted to donate ¬£200 to Moth in a China Shop via their JustGiving page. -- Massive thank you to all the hardy souls that ran and boxed ...and then came for some sports massage tlc, it's all massively appreciated ūüėä -- Peace out ‚úĆ

So we spent last Saturday at the 4th West Berks White Collar Boxing Showūü•ä....4th show? Best show! The atmosphere from over 700 in the crowd was electric ‚ö°ūüĒ• -- Always an absolute pleasure working with these gents through the whole training programme right up to fight night and even providing pre&post fight soft tissue work. Big shout out to all the boxers on the night, takes massive minerals to get in the ring and box for charity. -- As a massive boxing fan myself, was awesome to speak to Robin Reid, 3x Super Middleweight who reffed the fights on the night - top bloke! @ Northcroft Leisure Centre

We're here and soaking wet at Greenham Trust 10k & family fun run #StepUp4Good being assisted by the lovely (???) Andy from West Berks Injury Clinic -- Do come say hello if you're about! -- All proceeds on the day going to Moth In A China Shop

Really looking forward to be attending at Greenham Trust 10k & family fun run #StepUp4Good on Sunday ūüŹÉ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹūüŹÉ‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹūüŹÉ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹūü ŹÉ‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹ - We will be offering sports massage treatments - ¬£10 for 15 minutes.

ūüí•New Treatment Techniqueūüí• ūüĒ•Blood Flow RestrictionūüĒ•
So I’ve had this little beauty as part of my treatment options for a couple of months now & had some great progress using it so I’d thought I’d share how BFR training can benefit literally anybody ----... Firstly, big thanks to @tobythorne9 & @aaronj_3 from @newburyrfc for acting as guinea pigs. Both have had different injuries where they’ve been unable to tolerate heavier loads in their rehab which has led to muscle atrophy, strength loss&functional impairments. We’ve used BRF as a bridge towards heavier loading during this spell when heavy loads would be tolerated well! [1] --- You can use ANY exercise for your targeted muscle on BFR and it doesn’t take much time to complete; so you can add it into your normal exercise routines. Sounds great right!?!
What to do: 30% of 1 rep max 4 sets 20 seconds work 20 seconds rest 2-3 x a week
Cuff pressures vary due to upper or lower limb & size of person. Aim for a perceived 7/10 cuff tightness and you won‚Äôt go far wrong [2,3,4]. ----- So how does it work? ūü§ďūü§ď Metabolic accumulation Fast twitch muscle fibre recruitment Increased protein synthesis Cell swelling [5] ---- If you feel like this is the missing link in your training or as part of your rehab, contact me on 07990078121 or mjpsportstherapy@gmail.com to come have a go with this game changer!
