Great to see Danielle back in the boat having overcome a significant back injury.

Certainly not the most straightforward of injuries


And combined with a hectic work schedule recovery has been challenging, but great work for sticking with it


And glad we could help you get back doing the things you love most! đŸšŁâ€â™€ïž

The sun provides a great analogy of something good, until you get too much of it!

A little bit of sun regularly is generally a good thing.

For example, 20 minutes a day can help with Vitamin D, energy levels, and overall wellbeing...

All good.

But get too much sun, too quickly, your body is not ready for it, resulting in sunburn, soreness and other negative symptoms.

Your body responds to physical activity in a very similar way.

Small, regular amounts of movement or exercise help your body adapt, build tolerance, and become stronger over time.

But a sudden “spike” in activity, can cause overload, and lead to flare-ups of pain.

The aim with any activity, be it running, walking or the gym, is to build exposure gradually and consistently.

Think...

Steady progress rather than big spikes.

Consistency over intensity.

Building tolerance, not testing your limits every session!

If you have any questions about pacing your training or how to progress your exercise safely, please feel free to get in touch.

Hope this helps!

Being injured is never great


And especially when it’s a significant injury like an ACL.

But sometimes this makes it all the sweeter when the rehab is over and you are back doing everything you were pre-injury.

Onwards and upwards Simon!

Many people assume that pain in the knee, hip, or ankle (or anywhere else) is simply caused by weakness.

So you do all the strength work...

But the problem does not go away!

Strength is important, but in reality, equally as important is how well the muscles work together.

Think of your muscles like an orchestra.

Each musician may be highly skilled on their own.

Each of them has their own job (like each muscle in your body does).

But producing great music depends on everyone playing at the right time, the right tune, and in harmony with each other.

No more, no less.

If one section of the orchestra plays too loudly, it can overpower the rest.

If another section is too quiet, you lose balance, and the music won’t sound great!

Your muscles work in exactly the same way.

Some muscles may be underworking and not contributing enough.

Others may be overworking to compensate.

Both scenarios can increase strain on joints and tissues and contribute to pain.

So whilst strength is important, coordination, timing, and balance between muscle groups is just as crucial.

We call this muscle synergy.

I assessed a patient today in the clinic that was super strong...

And had done all the strength work for months and months...

Yet his knee pain was still there.

When I asked him to do a simple coordination/synergy test, he could not do it.

In his own words it ‘shocked’ him as to how hard it was.

He physically could not do the test (his hamstring cramped up in the process), telling us exactly what we already knew...

He was strong, but had poor muscle synergy.

As part of any assessment at Perform Ready we always look to see how strong your muscles are, but also how effectively they work together to support efficient, pain-free movement.

You can’t function well without both good muscle strength and good muscle synergy.

So make sure you have both!

Hope this helps!

Rehabbing someone that wanted to return to two different sports

Andy is back in clinic next week after a couple of weeks away in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Andy has been away with England Under 17’s for their European Championships.

A World Cup place is up for grabs!

Thursday’s game versus Poland will decide whether the team make the tournament...

To be held later this year in Morroco!

Andy has combined his role at the clinic with his role at the Football Association since 2018 as a consultant physio...

The year he left his role as the Head of Physio and Rehab at the Leeds Rhinos.

Andy has opened up a small window to take on new (or existing patients with new injuries) before his next elite sports trip.

So if you are looking to see Andy (or Lewis or Sarah) at our Leeds clinic then just reach out.

Yours in Health,

The Perform Ready Team

We see a lot of people in clinic with hip issues...

And it’s really no surprise.

Your hip joint is the connector between your trunk and your lower limbs.

It plays an important role when you are stood, or moving...

Helping you walk, run, squat, lunge...

You name it, if your moving, your hip is working!

Then when you sit, at work, or in the car, the hip get’s compressed, so even when at ‘rest’ it doesn’t get a break!

With all that...

It really is no surprise that so many people get hip pain.

Most movements or positions that aggravate the hip are when the hip closes down...

Or more specifically, when the joint surfaces of the hip move closer together (think the knee moving towards the chest).

Like when you squat towards the floor...

Or when you are sat at your desk, or in the car.

In these positions there is a closing down of the hip joint...

With the joint surfaces closer together (which is normal by the way)...

And something that needs to happen.

The only other alternative would be to stand up, or walk around 24/7!

Problem is...

If your hip is already irritated, movements like a squat or being sat for a long period of time, like a long car journey...

Can further irritate your hip.

But it’s not all doom and gloom.

The good thing is that most hip issues can be fixed up (and often quickly).

Some focused hip mobility drills and activation exercises can help...

And some additional pelvis positioning (more on this soon) can fix up even the most longstanding and irritable hip problems!

If you are feeling stuck with your hip (or any other injury) and not sure what to do next...

Give us a shout and we will do our best to help you out!

Have a happy and healthy week!

Yours in Health

The end result is great.

When an injury happens, especially more serious ones, a return to 100% and a return to higher level activities like sport, can feel a million miles away.

But all those rehab sessions pay off when you get back to what you love.

And in Maya’s case, a couple of tries make it all the more sweeter!

With it being marathon season, it would be a miss of us to not mention our past and present clients that have completed a marathon...

Or are in the final weeks of marathon training!

Manchester marathon was a couple of weeks ago...

London marathon was yesterday...

And the Rob Burrow Leeds half and full marathon is less than two weeks away!

Training for a marathon is a tough thing.

Most marathon programmes are 16+ weeks.

Plus all the training that has gone in before you even start the serious training!

The time, effort and toil just to get to the start line is a big success in itself...

Then you’ve got to run the 26.2 miles!

Inevitably the training is usually not plain sailing.

We see this year after year at Perform Ready.

Not so long back, Jamie had to halt his London marathon training due to injury, coming to see us in the clinic.

Jamie is a long-standing client of ours and a great guy, and it is always a pleasure to see him in clinic...

And after a bit of help, he was back running in no time.

A great guy, doing great things, for a great cause!!!

As a massive Leeds United fan, he missed the game at Wembley yesterday, but given the result, maybe that was a good thing!

Well done to Jamie and to all our clients, past and present, on your recent running (and other sport) achievements!

Yours in Health

Andy & The Perform Ready Team

PS. We love to share success stories like Jamie’s.

We know how important training and exercising is for so many of you...

So don’t let an injury or ni**le get in your way!

If you need some help, reach out, and one of the Perform Ready team will get right back to you!

What should you do if your back suddenly “seizes up?”

First up...

Don’t panic.

Whilst it might feel alarming, but most back spasms are not serious...

And tend to settle within a few days to a couple of weeks.

If this happens to you, here's some simple strategies to help you out...

'Keep Moving'

Avoid complete rest.

Short walks, light movement, and changing positions regularly help reduce stiffness and speed up recovery.

'Find a Comfortable Position'

The more time you can spend in positions you don't feel your back versus time spent in pain, the faster things will settle down.

Lying on your back with pillows under your knees, or on your side with a pillow between your knees, are two common comfortable positions for your back.

'Use Pain Relief'

Over-the-counter options (e.g. paracetamol or ibuprofen, if appropriate for you) can help with your pain and help you stay mobile.

'Heat > Ice'

A heat pack or hot bath/shower can help relax muscle spasm.

'Avoid Aggressive Stretching'

Gentle movement is good, but forcing stretches into pain usually isn’t.

Let symptoms settle first, then you can look at restoring your mobility.

'Modify, Don’t Stop'

You might need to scale things back, like the gym, running, or padel temporarily...

But don’t cut out activity completely.

Stay within tolerable limits, but try keep active as much as possible.

'Breathe and Relax'

Muscle guarding often makes things worse.

Slow, controlled breathing can help reduce tension.

Try box breathing.

'Gradually Return to Normal Activity'

As pain eases, build back up.

You don’t have to wait until you’re 100% pain-free before moving normally again.

This stuff is simple...

But sometimes (most of the time) the simple stuff, done well, is all you need.

If you've got a back problem, or a problem somewhere else, and things aren’t settling after 1–2 weeks, or you keep getting flare-ups, then give us a shout.

We can assess, guide, and help you out, and prevent your problem happening again.

Hope this helps.

Have a healthy and active week!
