Who doesn’t like learning?

Was great fun travelling up to East Kilbride (except the 12 hour train journey 🫣😵‍💫) to level up by learning new skills, and getting better at those I already have.

Shawn Sherman is a powerful tool to have at my disposal, and I have really enjoyed getting great results with patients, athletes and others with it so far this year. I really love how fast it can work, and the long lasting improvements it can have.

Thanks Tom Leith | PT | Kinesiologist as always! Looking forward to the summit 👀😂

Sunday was the Cambridge Town & Gown 10k

What a great event. Weather was on point, and it was a great welcoming atmosphere.

Perfect for complete beginners or seasoned runners. And the route was great and had plenty of people out supporting!

My garmin was set up wrong. Opps!! so she kept telling me to speed up 😅

My wife smashed her goal and finished nearly 15min quicker than she had planned. Well done 🫶🏼

Did anyone else take part??

Most of the big injuries I see in clinic didn’t start big. They started as a niggle someone ignored.

Here are 3 signs your niggle needs attention.

1. It’s changing how you move. You’re limping, shortening your stride, or favouring one side. Your body is already working around it.

2. A bit of soreness after training is normal. But when it hangs around for days, feels different one side to the other, or comes back every time you do something, your body is telling you something.

3. It’s getting worse week on week, or just lingering and not improving. It’s unlikely to disappear on its own.

Here’s the good news. Catch it at this stage and you usually don’t need to stop. We adjust the load, find out why it’s happening, and keep you training.

Injury is opportunity. But only if you deal with it early. Don’t let a niggle become a nightmare.

Here is an infographic displaying what children’s injuries I have treated over the summer. The summer is normally a quieter time dealing with youth injuries and pains. This coincides with many sports seasons being over, holidays and parents assuming things will just resolve themselves (rest is very important for children!!)

They age from 8-15
68 in total
9 Severs Disease - Numerous SOLEMAIDS insoles provided.
8 Ankle/foot non severs
19 Knee issues
2 Hamstring
3 Calf issues
1 Concussion’s
3 Groin/Adductor issues
7 Quad/Hip
8 Upper back or neck related
5 Shoulder issues
3 Wrist problem

All 68 kids play a sport, or have an active hobby.

Number of severs disease patients always goes down, in fact I had none at all in August. The last few weeks I have had 6 alone (not included here) as now the kids go back to playing football, rugby, hockey and other activities parents want to get them moving pain free.

11 or 19 knee issues were girls. More even split then usual. The majority were growth related. 4 were ACL (2 pre/2 post surgery) and were all girls.

Interestingly all of the upper back/neck problems, and a few of the shoulder ones were all exam and study related.

I still love putting these together, and hope people find them interesting. If your child is pain, or struggling with an issue going into their sporting season I can help them 🙂

Nasal strips. Gimmick or genuinely useful?

Since moving to the Fens my nose has been permanently blocked. Something around here just doesn’t agree with me!

I started using nasal strips on runs to see if they’d help. My heart rate dropped. Easy runs used to sit me in the 160s and 170s, now I can comfortably plod along around 140.

Probably through panicking less as nose was always blocked 🤣

Nasal breathing is more efficient than mouth breathing. It filters and warms the air and helps regulate CO2 tolerance. It’s also linked to your parasympathetic nervous system, while mouth breathing under effort tends to trigger more of a stress response. You also lose more fluid through mouth breathing than nasal.

Benefits: opens the nasal passages, can lower heart rate, calms the nervous system, reduces fluid loss, cheap and easy to try.

Negatives: won’t boost fitness or add power, does nothing at max effort, not needed if you breathe fine already, adhesive can irritate some people, effect is subtle rather than dramatic.

If you don’t struggle to nasal breathe, I wouldn’t say you need them. But if congestion is holding you back, worth giving them a try and seeing how you feel.

I have tried several brands now and as a heavy sweater they never last! However are my go too and have been brilliant 🙌🏻

Me and my wife had a debate last night. Who should have stopped Joanna Wietrzyk in Beijing?

The judges? Herself?

Or was she right to crack on?

Top level sport isn’t just physical shape. It’s a mindset most of us will never understand.

Let me know what you think?

Would you have kept running…?

I don’t tend to share messages like this, but I was genuinely chuffed with this one.

It’s funny. I never expected to get the same buzz from helping someone else that I used to get from competing myself. But I do, every time 😀

Helping people move better, feel better and perform better, whether that’s coming back from injury, making everyday life easier, or chasing down a performance goal, is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

I love what I do. I also love that the learning never stops. Hours of CPD, staying on top of the research, always finding a better way to help. There is always something new to learn, and things are always changing.

Sports seasons are here, lots of events coming up… If you’re carrying an injury, stuck on a plateau, or just want to move better, drop me a message. Let’s sort it.

What a weekend at the 2026 Powerlifting World Championships in Manchester. I have been fortunate enough to help 4 athletes on their journey there. All of them were incredible.

Between them they came away with 3x 🥇 and a 🥈 and collected some new World and British records 🤩

All of them have bright futures and looking forward to their journeys 🫶🏼

Little treat for them being delivered to help with their progress in the next few days 👀
