Due to some recent unfortunate event, it has got me thinking a lot this past week. In our fast paced lifestyle, this has been a week of reset, restart and refocus for me 🍀

🔁 Reset: Much like a period of recovery, life sometimes demands a reset. This week called for a recalibration of emotions. It’s not about erasing the pain, but acknowledging it and finding the strength to navigate through it. I must say it ain’t easy.

🔄 Restart: Restarting for me is to reflect, learn, and take intentional steps forward. Just like how our journey to recovery might require us restarting a certain exercise regime after an injury.

🎯 Refocus: Just as recovery guides us to refocus on well-being, this week urged me to refocus on the positive, on the beautiful moments that has happened. It’s about redirecting energy towards gratitude and channelling it into a meaningful, forward-focused path.

Grateful for the opportunity to join over the past weekend, sharing insights with parents and students from dance academy, on nurturing the foot and ankle complex while continuing their dance journey gracefully.💃🩰✨

Something I hear too often in the clinic! 🙈🤭

Sometimes the love for the run can push us a bit too far. Running more and faster without adequate recovery can be a double-edged sword, especially when accompanied by a lack of sleep (Rosen et.al 2017). Let’s find the balance by listening to our bodies and preventing those speed bumps.

Received this heartfelt note from an incredible patient. ❤️

It’s always good to hear back from patients on how they are getting on after discharge from rehab. Most rehab journeys ended with a bang, but for some, the daily grinds continue beyond those rehab sessions.

Sometimes, it isn’t just the physical grind that you need to work on, especially when the pain has persisted beyond the healing time frame. The rehab triad I called it - the mind, body and spirit - they intertwine and affect your overall well-being beyond that pain and injury.

1 year on, knowing that I’ve made a positive impact is the greatest reward. Thank you for entrusting me with your care. Your kind words fuel my passion for what I do. 🙏🏻💙

As the New Year unfolds, let this be a chapter of healing, growth, and unwavering dedication. You’re not tasked with becoming something entirely new; instead, it’s about honouring the strength within and fostering a consistent commitment to your well-being.

To those bravely navigating physical therapy and recovery, your journey is a testament to resilience. Every small effort, a note of courage. Here’s to a year filled with heartfelt progress, self-love, and the enduring power of consistency.💖🌿

Back pain + tennis = not fun 😣

Sharing this dynamic warm-up drills incorporating the movements that's essential for one of my patients.

When one part of your body isnt working properly, you will compensate and overwork the other part.

Analyzing the movements and techniques you use in your sports is important to prevent the pain from coming back in the future.

Strength 🏋️ may not always be the answer to your pain and sometimes it could be as simple as incorrect/inefficient movements or techniques or skipping your warm up altogether 🙈

Are you game on in keeping your issue at bay? Let's make it happen! 💪

Every photo tells a different story in their rehab journey.

In this journey with Naresh, he would like to share this message across - 'Evolve with Your Body': One needs to understand that while your body has its limits, it's a matter of training smart and playing safe. 😎

My role here as a physio is to help you test these boundaries and bridge the gap between where you are now and where you would like to be.
