PEACE and LOVE over RICE all day now.
Check back a few posts from me to see what PEACE and LOVE is all about!
Icing sprained ankles actually slows the healing process down!🤯If you want to optimize the healing process, movement is medicine. Find a movement you can do with relatively minimal pain (which at first may just be some ankle pumps and circles) and progressively increase movement/load as you can. The line “walk it off” truly applies here as sitting and icing can delay the healing process.
If you’d like to learn more about how to treat a sprained ankle, check out my recent YouTube video “How to fix a Sprained Ankle” and also read my blog “Don’t ice, walk it off” on squatuniversity.com
I offer you one last piece of evidence. Every year a group of authors who are experts in the treatment of acute injuries gather and comb over the current scientific literature and establish position statements for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA). In 2013, they released one such statement on the recommended treatment for ankle sprains (an injury commonly addressed with the RICE protocol).
After evaluating all of the available scientific literature on possible treatments for ankle sprains, they assigned ratings from best “A” to worst “C.” Do you know which rating icing got? A big fat “C.” They even wrote that “strong clinical evidence for advocating cryotherapy is limited.”
Do you know the treatments that were assigned a rating of “A”? Functional rehabilitation! With this position statement, the profession that sees a majority of acute injuries among athletes acknowledged that icing is not as good as we all thought and rather the best form of treatment is moving and loading the injured area through rehabilitation exercise.

What a great idea gift for Father's Day!
All those active dads need a pamper session and to get back to a good physical & mental state
Being a dad is a very physical job and all the below can take its toll on the body!
🔹️ Shoulder carries on walks
🔹️ Pretending to be a climbing frame for the little ones
🔹️Quickly putting together that new slide or paddling pool so the little ones can play
Some lucky dads tomorrow 💪👍

It's a glorious time of the year in the UK with spontaneous summer trips between heavy bouts of rain! 🌞
The sunshine and warm weather is a great time to get out and about, boosting your physical and mental wellbeing!
If you plan to still train hard outdoors and have events coming up - please take note of the below to keep safe!!
🔥 Reduce the intensity slightly - if it's in the mid 20s, then this will immediately increase your heart rate as your body naturally tries to cool itself down - take this into account and reduces those hard runs
💧Hydrate - drink plenty of bloody water!! 2litres on a normal day but then 1 litre for every hour of exercise you do.
🏃♂️ If you're on a long run - take short water breaks in areas of shade. Don't tax your body on the run, it's already trying to deal with alot of stuff!
Stay safe and keep training!

This exact video explains the massive increase in why some Fitness Influencers are now pushing Walking as an ideal method towards fat loss, rather than those HIIT workouts or crazy classes!
🔹️Park further from the office,
🔹️walk to the shops if needed,
🔹️take the stairs where possible.
I've got one more slot left this week for mobile Sports Massage. I can come to you 👍

This is done after a postural analysis and range of motion assessments.
Plenty of reviews on my page, check them out!

🇬🇧 A great Jubilee weekend with the family visiting some amazing spots in the local ******eruk area. 🇬🇧
******er were absolutely amazing and accomodating with children! Great meal with the little boy getting to meet the Queen! 🍔
******ercathedral this has been a wish of the little boy for a while now so finally took him there for a walk around. It's hard keeping a little boy quiet when he hears the echoes! ⛪️
Love this new area that we are in and the amazing local places to visit!

You clean your house?
You service your car?
Wash the dishes after using them?
All these things increase longevity or create a much more pleasant environment to be in.
The same goes for your body;
🔹️exercise regularly - (even going for a walk is exercise)
🔹️take time to relax and unwind
🔹️eat foods that are quality fuel for the body!
Its easy to forget about the fragility of our bodies when it gets put under immense stress on a daily basis!

The biggest challenge when injured, is to trust the process.
Physically, you know you're restricted but me tslly, you think you are ready or want to push it too quick.
These are the times when motivation sky rockets and the desire to move again increases.
Manage your own expectations and understand how long the process is going to be.

Sports Massage Therapy can have so many benefits and positive outcomes.
- Increased feeling of wellbeing
- Decreased stress levels
- Decreased pain levels
- Improved recovery times
- Increased flexibility
- Increased performance
These are all the things that everyone wants immediately, and can potentially be gained from a 60min session.
It's a no brainer...

So many things can be taken from an injury.
Having a positive outlook to maximise the opportunity will make you so much stronger in the long run.
For me currently, dealing with knee pain, I'm focusing on single leg strength, knee stability and glute strength.
All three things that will have a positive effect on all other sports that I partake in.
Take the opportunity to REDISCOVER YOU and come back fighting harder!

🌟 The benefits of being mobile! 🌟
I can treat the better half to a massage after a long week at work in an office based role.
Lots of sitting behind the desk causing alot of upper and lower back pain along with daily stresses that can be alleviated with hands on therapy.
Now, I don't push the message of relaxation or offer relaxing massages as I prefer the Sports/injury side but god damn, a chilled massage is so good for for your mental wellbeing.
Empty that cup!

I love this reel from CEOCast - we all have one body but know hardly anything about it.
Everyone should know how to fuel their body, look after their body (physically/mentally) and improve longevity.
We get our cars serviced and MOT'd when needed, why not do the same for our bodies!

🌟🏃♂️ DO NOT RUSH THE PROCESS
Recovery takes time and is a very delicate process.
Hard work and progress can be undone very easily if things are rushed.
Injury is a chance for rehab but also an opportunity to get stronger. TRUST IT

💥 INJURY MANAGEMENT 💥
YOU NEED TO READ THIS!
Who still runs for the ice when you deal with a sprain/strain etc?
Dr Gabe Mirkin coined the mnemonic RICE in 1978 which was then widely adopted and still advised today, however Dr Mirkin backtracked on this in 2015 to say that it may delay healing.
This is due to the body's built in reaction to inflame and flood the affected area with fluid and nutrients to protect and begin the recovery process. The cold sensation from ice slows this process down.
There's a few variations now available but I like the concept of PEACE & LOVE.
PEACE for Acute phases
LOVE for the rehab/recovery phase.
What's your thoughts?

The dreaded knee pain! 🦵
It's such a simple joint but has so many external factors that can cause pain, but these can all be alleviated or treated quite easily.
Be aware, REST IS NOT A TREATMENT!
It can be the beginning part of the recovery journey but there's always something that can be worked on, to get you back stronger! THATS THE END GOAL!
I am a mobile Sports Massage Therapist so can travel to help you out! 💪👍

Hugely important facts from Dr Karan explaining why we never use 100% of our muscle fibre strength.
Im not sure a sports massage could help in fixing this, not from the start anyways!
Ouch!!!

💥Massage Guns are all the rage now with so many variations available online💥
Is this a staple in your gym bag or routine now?
Few points to consider when using yours -
🔹️ Great tool to assist with muscle activation before working out
🔹️ Increases blood flow and circulation
🔹️ Only as good as the users knowledge (research first)
🔹️ Can assist with the reduction of DOMS
🔹️ Good addition to work alongside a foam roller and other recovery/training tools.

NEW LOGO TIME!!
This is actually what appears on all my cards and consultation forms so it's about time it's updated on here.
Getting the right image to portray business approach is a difficult task but this is definitely
🔹️ more clinical looking
🔹️ more inclusive
🔹️ colour scheme to create brand reputation
What do you guys think of the new one? 💪🤜

🔹️ Foam Roller
🔹️ Trigger Point balls
🔹️ Massage Guns (Percussion therapy)
All of the above, when used correctly, can have a positive impact on performance, recovery and injury prevention!
This week, I'll post about each one for you to add into your recovery sessions.

🌟Another 5 Star review🌟
Emily is an experienced masseuse already, so the pressure was on to deliver outcomes here!
As I always do, when it comes to the sports therapy approach, we assess, test and retest.
This proves that the hands on treatment or joint mobilisations have actual tangible benefits!
Thank you Emily
