INJURY REHABILITATION

We look at your body as a whole entity, where every imbalance or restriction is most likely to affect not just the joint that the imbalance or restriction is situated around, but also the joint above or below. For example, let's say you're someone who over-pronates (when the arch of your foot drops inwards). You're most likely to drop your knee in towards your midline. This causes the outer aspect of the group of muscles on the front of your thigh (quadriceps) to work harder than the inner aspect of the same muscle group, leading to instability in your knee. This dropping inward can also lead to a weakening of your outward rotators of the hip and a tightening up of the muscles responsible for pulling your legs together. Most of the time, the area experiencing the pain is not the area that's causing the problem; the pain is the symptom, not the source.

When you injure yourself, there's a reason you were prone to that specific injury when it happened. Where some practitioners may look at rehabilitating you back to the point just before you became injured, we go one step further and look at why you were susceptible to the injury in the first place. Once we understand why it happened, we can build a truly effective rehabilitative programme, which will see you avoiding further injuries in the future.
