After a knee surgery or injury, we often focus on strength and mobility… but forget about plyometrics! ⚡️

Before returning to running or sport, it’s essential to include plyometric (jump) training in your rehab. 🏃‍♀️💪

Plyometrics involve explosive, powerful movements that improve your power, speed, and agility. They work through the stretch–shortening cycle — when your muscles quickly stretch (eccentric) and then contract (concentric) to generate maximum force.

Here are a few plyometric exercises to help prepare your knee for the demands of running and sport. Train smart, move strong, and return to the field or track with confidence! 🙌

Do you work at a desk all day? 💻

Feel like your body is glued to the chair by the end of the day?
You’re not alone — this time of year, many of us feel stiff, tight, and immobile from long hours of sitting.

Here are a few simple stretches you can do right at your desk to relieve stiffness, improve posture, and boost your range of motion. 🙌

If you still feel restricted or uncomfortable, book an appointment with us for some hands-on treatment and mobility restoration.

🦶 Heel pain with your first steps in the morning?
You might have PLANTAR FASCIITIS — here’s what it is and how to treat it:

The plantar fascia is a thick band under your foot. Repetitive overload, micro-tears, or poor load tolerance can lead to sharp heel pain and stiffness, especially after rest — but it often eases once you start walking.

Research shows that a structured loading + strengthening program can significantly improve symptoms.

💡 Tips:

-Start slow, progress gradually
-Combine stretching + strengthening
-Wear supportive shoes
-Track pain — mild soreness during exercises is normal
-Be consistent. Daily small efforts!

👉 Try the above exercises to help you walk pain-free again!
