Scar tissue can have many impacts on the body 👎

So should be prioritised post surgery so that the body can function properly around it ✅

In a c-section for example they cut through 7 layers so function will undoubtedly be affected afterwards 🤕

So testing and clearing scar dysfunction should always be high on the priority list 🔑

You have to be careful with how much emphasis we place on MRI results ✅

Low grade muscle tears are a lot more common than we think (not everyone has the luxury of getting an MRI scan)….

But whether the results help us return to sports quicker or better is debatable 🧐

1-2% of my clients get MRI scans and often when they do they end up in my clinic with me trying to sort things out anyway 😓

The key is testing and correcting function. Focus on that and that’s how clients get better and return to sports quicker 🏃

I find over compensating hamstrings way more often that weaker hamstrings 👎

Therefore to help get the injury better and get back to sports focus should turn to soft tissue release work on the hamstrings….

Followed up with better activation of the weaker structures (often hip flexion) 🔑

I think this is why hamstrings can be a struggle - wrong rehab/intervention which will ultimately leading to poor outcomes/results 🏃‍♀️⚽️

Young footballer in clinic last week has had issues playing football due to his Osgood’s pain 👎

Rest, reduced sports and waiting on growth spurts is the common advice for this injury 😤

But I’m not a fan of that and nor where these guys with almost a year of dipping in and out of football ⚽️

On the path now of correcting function to make sure he has an injury free season 🏆

The big issue with this injury is the amount of muscle attachments in that area 😓

If you take the healing part out of it and talk more about function, there are a lot of areas to test and consider 😤

There are multiple hip flexor attachments:

Rec fem
Sartorious
Iliacus
Psoas
Pectineus
TFL

Then there are a lot of core muscles that attach there also. Rec abs, tva, internal and external obliques 🔑

Then you have to consider the opposite (antagonist), synergistic muscles 💪

Very tough injury to correct but this man is now back out there and back playing sports ⚽️

One more young athlete well on her way to saying goodbye to her Osgood’s Schlatters pain 💪

If you believed what most medical models say on Osgood’s or read into any of the support groups you would think it’s a lottery if your pain will ever get better 😤

I’m not so sure on that 😒

Two imbalances corrected on both legs and already seeing a difference playing sports 🏑

Onto the hamstrings and medial rec fem now ✅

Working progress…..

25/08/2026

Finding problems before injury comes to destroys all progress and plans 🫡

The past 3 half marathons needed to be cancelled 👎

Now running 90% more than before and improving every week before completing the first half marathon ✅

Proactive mindset, proactive work and proactive rehab for the win 🏆

A simple issue made extremely complicated…..

Almost a life time of knee pain and surgery for an issue that if corrected properly early should have taken weeks to help 😤

These 5 muscles are the most important for Osgood’s ✅

Test them. Find which are weak. Find where the compensators are. Treat accordingly. Set rehab. Daily rehab adherence…

Job done 👍

Had a young GAA player in there (16). Started getting hip/knee pain in early June 👎The pain was mostly on her outer hip ...

Had a young GAA player in there (16). Started getting hip/knee pain in early June 👎

The pain was mostly on her outer hip (TFL) and she felt clicking alongside the pain…

Tested the TFL and found it compensating for the TFL and rec fem on the opposite hip ✔️

Then found the IT band and glute med compensating for glute max ✔️

Cleaned up some ankle and hamstring weakness also ✅

All done over 3 appointments. Never missed a beat on the rehab. Back playing painfeee now 🏃🏆
