Playing Sports, Weekend Warrior, Trying to Keep Fit
Acute sports injuries will normally heal. However it is important that they heal with a full range of joint movement, with minimal scar tissue, and with full strength. Returning to sport requires sport-specific exercises, to prevent a recurring injury.
If you suddenly find it's all down hill from 45 and you can't "get away" with ignoring the warning twinges anymore, I will assess your gait and running style, correcting any postural or bio-mechanical dysfunction, helping to resolve a chronic injury or prevent the build-up of aches and pains.
Recovering from Surgery, Getting Back to Full Fitness
Surgery is only the start of recovery.
Knee or hip replacement
Back operations
Shoulder surgery
ACL repair
To make a full recovery from surgery you need to have the best hands-on treatment and corrective exercises. These exercises eventually need to be specific to your lifestyle. Whether you want to walk in the Lake District or return to football you need the appropriate strength and flexibility.
What's the point of having surgery to repair the structure if you don't correct the habits or weakness that might have caused the problem in the first place?
