Runners Preparation for Marathon 2017 2nd Session

Since Jacqui had damage to her knee and had to have a knee replacement, back in 2010, I have had a great deal of interest in knee pathologies and how to help with knee pain Then an opportunity to go to the University of Dundee at their Department of Anatomy to find out a whole lot more, on a Body Dissection Course, the main focus of the course being on being BioTensegrity, Genetics,Kinetics and Synergetics , with one of the best Human Anatomist, John Sharkey of the NTC in Dublin was to good an opportunity to miss.

Patient X attended my clinic for 2nd Session “Preparation Marathon for 2017.”

It may be the Festive season, but when you are in training for a Marathon you still have to do that training , you have to keep on top of things that also means no overdoing the festive treats.

There are a lot of things to be considered when training in the winter time Warming up it is even more important in winter, Cold Muscles do not work well.

The Immune system needs a boost, unfortunately because when you are running you are pushing your body to do more than it wants , the body is working hard having to repair itself more, you are using more of your vitamins and nutrients on that repair work, that it increases the chance of you being more open to cold and flu infections.

You need to increase your Vitamin C, Zinc , Vitamin D3 and Calcium , as with the winter weather there is less chance to boost Vitamin D3 with sunlight, but we will talk more about that as we go through the next few weeks.

Week 2

The second treatment session for Patient X took place on rest period day from training . Wanting to ensure good motor neuron function in the feet we concentrated the Bioneuro Sigma Q treatment with Pads on the feet.

A very interesting observation on this mornings intervention was presented with a excessively hyper-tonic calf muscles/shin splints on the left leg . Dorsi flexion and Plantar flexion actions appeared slightly impaired .Following treatment we had total pain free movement and were able to continue with the days work.

Today we also proved that the “Deep Peroneal nerve can be activated and movement improved with Bioneuro Sigma Q.

This weeks running has been great.

2x 5mile pace runs.

1x 10 mile steady and

1x 5 mile easy.

Both the pace runs went well. Ran them at night. Both finishing strong with fastest mile being the last one. Second one was in new location which always helps as its always good to change the scenery.

My ten miler was in Xmas Eve. Decided to mix it up so I ran to my local Park Run (3.5 miles away) completed that before running home after. Obviously didn’t go flat out at PR due to the need to retain some energy for the – mainly uphill – return route.

Anyway my average time was nearly s minute per mile under my marathon target pace which is great. Again finishing with a good last mile.

Next run was an easy 5 mile, taking it steady and not pushing it. Still kept under target pace though.

All in all 4 really good runs. On target with just over 100 days til race day.

My hope of getting under 4 hours is looking good – today at least.

My PB of 4:01 is there to be beat!

HNY Steve and thanks for looking after me.

After yesterday’s session I have no aches and pains. My shin splints which were very painful after the last run, seem to have calmed down since the Bioneuro treatment.

What Foot & Heel Pain Treatment in Norwich, Norfolk ???

Mark came to our clinic here in Norwich in a great deal of PAIN in his FOOT and more now he is .“Pain Free, yes after 18 month’s of constant pain he is now pain free in his heel and back he is now back participating in sport once again and enjoying life. “

Mark told us “ About 24 months ago I started suffering with a pain in my left heel and was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. During the next 12 months I tried various methods to resolve the issue from Adjustable boots to massage balls for your feet all which gave me limited relief for short periods of time.

I was recommended to contact, “Get fit stay fit Norfolk and talk to Steve, make an appointment for an assessment.”

I met Steve at his treatment room and he set about assessing my problem with my heel, however what I got was a complete MOT….Steve asked a series of questions about my current well being, completed a physical and set about assessing me.

“So, just my heel your thinking, oh No, I also mentioned to Steve that I suffered from Backache from time to time and the occasional headache as well but the main issue was with my heel.”

It soon became clear that my backache was as a result of me walking differently because of the pain in my heel. Steve suggested a course of Bioneuro Therapy coupled with a deep massage.

To be honest, I was sceptical with the approach as I hadn’t seen this type of therapy before, however in for a penny in for a pound as they say, as I thought I’ve got nothing to loose.

Early results were frustrating for me as I was getting some relief for short periods of time but the pain continued for some time. I attended Steve’s clinic weekly and continued with the course of treatment. Steve was also dealing with my back issue and also used Bioneuro Therapy coupled with a deep massage in this area as well and what he called Neuromuscular Manipulation

I cant say that I enjoyed all of the deep massages (No pain no Gain comes to mind) at the time, but the rest was ok and the benefit of this coupled with the Bioneuro Therapy had started to pay dividends.

I hadn’t expected an instant cure and maybe I was hoping for a quicker result.

Steve explained to me that the damage had been done over a long period of time and would take time to heal , but you get to a tipping point when the healing starts to progress and things really do feel better, it is easy to forget how much pain you were in.

This is how it happened to me, the periods where I was pain free started to extend between treatments and the treatments became less frequent that has now brought me to my current status…….Pain Free, yes after 18 month’s of constant pain I’m now pain free in my heel and my back.

I’m now back participating in sport once again and I’m enjoying life.

Regards

Mark

Winifred Thought That She “Would Never Be Able To Walk Again Without The Use Of A Stick”.

What a lovely lady I have been treating in Winifred, I have not had to treat this lady for very long .

One thing is for sure she is a fighter , I have treated a few Ladies recently all with one very positive thing about them .

They have all been fighters wanting to get on with life and make the most of it .

Yes they have been in pain , but they should not be written off and they certainly would be the first to tell you they still have a lot of living to do and they intend to get on with it.

I love them for their positive attitude and it has been a pleasure and a joy to be able to help as Jacqui calls them “My Ladies”

Winifred had problems with her knee and her back , she came to me after she found it difficult to carry on with her gardening and her daily exercise routine.

Using Neuromuscular techniques , massage on the Hydrotherm System and using the Bioneuro, we were soon able to get into to the cause of Winifred’s Pain ad deal with it , rather than it being a long drawn out process and without the need for her to continue using the painkilling medication that Winifred did not want to take .

Winifred word’s “I did not think I would be able to walk again with out the use of a stick ”

That proved to be wrong as Winifred is now doing her daily walks without a stick in Acle.

Do You Want to Be The Best, At Fitness Boot Camp ??

Just recently I was at a Boot camp fitness weekend, having received a call from the organiser telling me they had been let down by the person who would normally come with them, so as a local Sports Massage therapist would I please help for a few hours.

Having qualified and done my time, as a personal trainer a long time ago, but having never been to one of these Military Style Fitness Boot Camps, I must say I was intrigued enough to say yes.

As a Sports Injury therapist, for me it is all about the prevention of injury, as much as the repairing the damage once it is done.

It was all I had imagined, people were working out and wearing themselves out, more like a Rugby Training Session, these were people who were not use to this sort of intensive training, quite a few times I heard the words.

” I will get through this, after all it meant to be doing me good”.

“Personally I was not sure of that.”

Due to the damage people can do to their muscles, if they are not prepared for the intensity of the exercise and pressure put on the muscles.

“I do understand everyone’s need to get fit and a lot of the fads and quick fixes.”

We all seem to be under pressure to have results straight away, I am afraid this sort of body battering may end up with people having the results they do not want and always remember, you only have one body you want to keep in in the best of condition for as long as you can.

“Do not just think of the present, as today’s injuries will be with you as you get older, in the future”

Folks please take things steady and start sensibly, I am sure quite a few people were in the situation the following day, that they may have found it hard to even walk with out pain, not allowing for what the Dreaded DOMS will be doing to their muscles.

Ice baths or warm baths only act as a sensory diversion for the muscles for a short time after these applications they will not improve recovery.

Sports Injury Therapy will make a difference to the out come speed, improvement and recovery of the muscles, all these factors should be taken into consideration, before you embark on one of these Boot Camps.

To succeed in a Good Exercise Routine, it should always be a gradual build up, it should work with your body .

It is a progression, a journey, one you should be in control of, you need to look after your muscles not beat them up and tear them apart.

“I have seen many a client as a result of them not adhering to this advice.”

I was surprised that people, had not thought that Sports Injury Therapy should be part of their routine.

Do you honestly think that High Performance Professional Athletes have exercise as the main part of their lives do not take time out to rest, cool down, or do not have a warming up routine and do not have regular Sports Injury Therapy for any niggles that occur to prevent them getting worse.

” I can assure you they do Sports Injury Therapy Is vital to them.”

So why should it not be part of a routine for a person who is not only working at a full time, job while training for a sports event be it a local run to a marathon, or a person working out in the gym?

Sports Injury Therapy is hands on Clinical Massage Treatment to deal with injuries, be it in sport, work or in daily life at home or in the garden, an injury is an injury and not only Sports Men and Women have injuries.

If you have an injury they have a list of the therapist in your area, be sensible in your exercise program, get the benefit of incorporating Sports Injury Therapy into your routine.

Getfitstayfit Norfolk had the privilege of being asked to Sponsor an award for Broadlands Council Sports people of the year 2014. Our chosen category to sponsor The Inspirational Sports Personality Award.

On Friday 24th October we met up at Thorpe Lodge, welcomed by Maria from Broadlands Council who did a fantastic job of putting the event together , then welcomed by Councillor Adams who opened the event .

We presented the Award to a fantastic young man Jonathan Drane the evening was excellent we had a chance to meet up with another inspiringly young man, Paralympics Athlete Danny Nobbs and to hear his story as you can imagine we were blown away, by his determination, all the work he has put in and how he views life, then getting to meet Jonathan was just amazing, a little about Jonathan and why Broadlands considered him a worthy winner, after meeting him we also understood why and hope to be working with him in the future.

In his first ever Visually Impaired, VI, competition, Norwich lad Jonathan Drane clinched an epic victory, seizing gold after winning every fight by putting on an excellent display of fighting at the VI US Open in Colorado. Drane was a plumber with his own business before his eyesight deteriorated due to Corneal dystrophy diagnosed as part of a routine eye check in 2011. He fought on the GB senior squad but now he is aiming for success as a part of Great Britain’s Visually Impaired judo team training at The British Judo Association Centre of Excellence

Jonathan has also started working towards a degree in psychology at The Open University. Studying for any degree is always challenging. Jonathan was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 15, and so was often excluded from lessons, and wracked with feelings of self-doubt and anxiety. Prior to this he had not received any additional help at school. He has now been made patron of the ADHD foundation.

He wants to challenge the stigma associated with ADHD and show other young people living with the condition that anything is possible, whatever life throws at you.

It is, as she say important for the rider to be at one with the horse, to have

Fluidity in Motion ,

A riders injury can affect a horses ability to perform at it’s best , as every jolt and jar the rider feels as pain, the horse will feel their restriction in their reaction to the pain in their subsequent movements. to propel a horse forward you need to to be balanced.

Injury Will Prevent The Fluid Golf Swing.

You can’t do a thing if you’ve not got that swing. Sounds like words from an old song, but believe me having treated quite a few Golfers these are words I hear quite a lot,when that injury occurs, you won’t have that Swing.

Lets face it folks when it comes to Golf it is all about the swing, and the follow through and if you can’t do that then you are not playing Golf, at least not how you should be. to develop a good fluid swing being physically relaxed, more supple makes a better functional swing, from the back swing to the follow through .Speed comes from the more relaxed posture.

First of all you need to get the basics right it makes a fundamental difference, did you know that a move, that is wrong in the first place will always be wrong. When you learn to play your muscles adjust accordingly so if you have been taught the positions right it will follow that your body will adapt accordingly. the same applies if you learn the wrong move’s from bad positioning . those same muscles movements will be repeated again and again, breaking a bad habits in position is harder to do than you would think so start right, then improve.

You have to Set up right, to do this you must , to be able to develop a solid swing technique to do this you must be able to move your body freely and for your body to move as freely as possible.

Poor flexibility is a key risk factor for a golf injury

You have to start with balance, for balance you need to have good support from your core muscles i.e. your transverse abdominals. Your weight should be in the middles of your feet this balance is essential, this is when your glutes and hamstrings come in to their own, and you need this balance both left to right and back to front.

You need to be able to Push your hips back, angle your spine toward the ball and flex your knees, if you have good posture it helps with balance and stability. I am not going to tell you how to make each move you need to be learning that from a Professional player, most clubs have one or two who for a fee and it is worth it will get you training on the right road. There are also lots of videos out there to help.

Another injury problem for Golf players are injuries due to over use of muscles , yes you need to practice and it can be additive, but you need to have time out to rest, unless you are a professional player, you are likely to also have a full time job and Golf is your hobby, your interest, your sport of choice , so you will have to be able to do your normal job as well as having time for Golf. Don’t let your hobby takeover your job, it needs to be fun and something you look forward too, it needs to be something you enjoy not a chore and certainly not a pain in any shape or form , Golf is great exercise far from being a passive sport, that does not require any real degree of fitness. Golf incorporates cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and even balance and coordination. You may no realise this, but Golf even helps in the prevention of brain degradation, which can result in loss of memory . Golfing forces you to remember, to use your brain more to remember plays, numbers, images, even specific techniques and tip . Therefore you are in a win, win situation , it is a great all-around way to exercise both body and mind.

Golf uses a number of different muscles throughout the body, from your neck, shoulders hips knees down to your feet and to be at your best and vital to help you execute that winning golf driver swing you have to keep them supple.

This is where Regular Massage, can be of great benefit . And adding to your training regime By using

These treatments will help improve your mobility, balance not to mention increase strength and power.

Hydrotherm Massage that works deeper than orthodox massage aiding “Vasodilatation “or a good blood supply to all your muscles. Lying on beds of heated water relaxation will rejuvenate your muscles help to give muscle strength and a greater range of motion to aid your game.

With the Aid of The Bioneuro Therapy system the sigma Q technology that will work deeply into those deep muscle area’s, more than other therapies available, e.g. lower back to enhance your core stability and body movement .

Our aim is to keep you fit, flexible and free to play a great round of Golf.

Help with Muscle Pain and Recovery after Surgery in Norwich Part 2

The Road to Recovery Starts here!

ICE has helped

I was told by my surgeon that there would be some bruising in the area. Obviously you can’t ICE on the scar area, but it was the muscles that needed to calm down, so I iced my back for 10 mins every two hours in the Multifidus region. This I believe has aided my recovery in the early days following surgery.

Diet and Fibre

Essential that you realise you are going to have to go to the loo to evacuate your bowels, your natural instinct, is to hold back as you don’t want to push and one thing you don’t want to do is strain, unfortunately tables such as painkillers can bung you up a bit and make it harder to go, you need to be prepared for this, so think fruit and fibre, and whole grain fibre cereals they will help , and yes the fruit and berries do make a big difference, orange juice , and drink plenty of water. If you know you are going into hospital, then help yourself by getting into a routine of eating in this way and have your body prepared having a smooth conclusion to this matter, will help you to feel so much better.

The Exercises I used and found most helpful

Clenching your Gluteus muscles, supports your lower back on movement and lifting

As I said Stability and support of your lower back are vital .Your Gluteus Maximus being the largest muscle is great for aiding movement such as sitting ,standing and stretching and co-ordination of actions to reduce pain when clenched. ‎

Get those muscles back in action gently.

The area will be bruised, but the ICE will help with that, as soon as you feel able they need to start being worked. This is done by “lifting your tummy button up towards your back”. Yes, it does take practice! When you are proficient, you can then work up to four sets of ten, holding this for four seconds at a time.

1^st Sitting upright in a chair, back straight legs slightly apart breath in through your nose take a deep breath and clench your glutes at the same time, you will feel your bottom rise slightly and your tummy lift towards your back .)

2^nd Again sitting upright in chair legs slightly apart lift hands towards forehead each side, while holding forehead, breath in clench glutes and then slowly rotate your body from the central position to your right, then back to the central, then to the left, the back to central, repeat this again in four sets of ten, holding this for four seconds at a time. Please remember to do this slowly if at any point you feel pain then stop. One thing I did find with this was it got rid of the build of wind that you seem to have after the abdominal surgery which in its self can be very painful.

3^rd Walking a short distance is also greatly beneficial try starting with about 10 minutes a day, then building steadily from there; take it steady it is not a race

“I would love to have a massage”, but you think you can’t, you feel it could and it would help greatly, but “Normal Orthodox massage would not in my professional opinion be appropriate as lying in a Prone position The area of surgery is a local contra-indication”.

The massage benefits of Post Operative Massage, we have found are the relief of pain, increase blood circulation, nutrients being transported to aid restoration of the injured area The major benefit that I can evidence is vasio dilation ( Size of blood vessels increasing).Thus helping to relax the muscle and making it less tight /hypo-tonic. The Neuromuscular techniques used in treatments, enable the release and breakdown of Adhesions that may have formed due to the excessive release of collagen while our body was building up the Granulation tissue/ scar tissue necessary , to repair the injured area, we all realise that, after tissue injury we all develop scarring to some extent, this is the bodies way of healing the damaged area, it is when it this Granulation tissue continues to be produced that problems can occur.

By working with the patient laying supine, the area of surgery being a local contra indication is avoided. Also this reduces the need of reliance on pain reducing pharmacological input, “I was prescribed painkillers at the hospital, as I am sure everyone is, but they did not agree with me as is the case for a few people.

Help with Muscle Pain and Recovery after Surgery in Norwich Part 1

Folks I have read a lot of comments in reference to Sports Massage Therapist, or Soft Tissue Therapist not being able to open just yet . In all my 30 years of being a therapist I have never known so many of my colleague’s to be so despondent and under valued and it saddens me, because I know how much work they do

I had to undergo an “Inguinal Hernia Repair “ambulatory surgery.”

I was acutely aware of physical, muscular nerve related (Myalgia) pain, in my lower back when I came round from the operation.

As a Sports Injury Therapist, I realised that the muscular pain could be dealt with, but because of the surgery. It had to be done in the right way as to not jeopardise my recovery.

Drugs I believe only treat the symptoms they do not treat the cause, but after surgery we do need pain relief, some cannot take medication or find they have a bad reaction to it, we all heal at different rates, some people a lot shorter time than others, I do however believe that by helping ourselves, being proactive in our recovery and rehabilitation, in this sort of situation, it can reduce the healing time considerably for everyone undergoing this sort of surgery.

So here is my short account, in the hope that it will help others who have to go through this sort of surgery.

Stability is the name of the game.

The complexity of physical motion is exchanged for stability as the body ages .We want Pain free ability to move.

Here is the how and the why!

The two muscle s that had been affected; during the operation were the “Multifidus” and the “Transversus abdominis”. It was essential to get these working again, these muscles are vital; the Transversus abdominis for instance supports your abdominal wall, aids in forced expiration,

Intra abdominal pressure, as all abdominal muscles work moment to moment as we move, they provide the tension required to translate forces from the lower limbs to the upper limbs. The Transversus abdominal is the deepest of these muscles and each one from right to left wraps up the organs horizontally and its fascial attachments include lumbar vertebrae rib cage iliac crest and the inguinal ligament. It also provides support of internal organs and tension support for lift for L2 and L3 of the lumber vertebra. The Multifidus extends laterally, it also flexes and rotates the vertebrae column and it also extends laterally to rotate the pelvis.

As you can see they do a lot of work, Spinal integrity relies on the combined ability of both of the Transversus abdominis and the Multifidus muscles to maintain the pelvic stability and rotate and stabilize the spinal structure .

I have just had some very good news that I would like to share with you, In that I have been selected as part of the under 17 Norfolk county team to go to Nottingham and compete in the big Inter County Tournament, as you may remember it had been my aim since the start of the season.
