Adding a pause is good for developing trunk stability, strength and control through the range.

Always remember to avoid internal rotation (valgus) of the knees and try to keep them in line with your toes.

Foot placement can vary a little according to your biomechanics but that’s a whole different post altogether!!

Simple advice is to start with sessions of 20-30 minutes working on your legs, arms and trunk. And try to build up from there.

Exercise you do for your bone health should be in addition to exercise you do for your general health. For most people the Royal Osteoporosis Society recommends around 40 moderate impacts on most days. This could be jumping, skipping, jogging or hopping.

This is interesting reading if you have ever suffered from incontinence when you exercise. You are most definitely not alone!!!

We were trying to make sure that we were doing something that included some rotational work this week.

It’s east to work in just one plane of motion and forget to this kind of movement. Anyway, here we are doing some stuff.

There is a harsh reality about rehab. It will take time, commitment and patience. And we can’t always make it interesting. And it may mean you can’t run/cycle/weightlift for a while.

But, the benefits are all there if you put the work in. In 99% of cases you will return to doing the things you love. And you will really reduce the risk of re- injury if you put the work in now.

So….take it steady, stick to the plan, understand a certain amount of pain may be entirely normal whilst you work through this and you will get there.

That is all.

🤔🤔 𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? 🤔🤔

We tend to think of oestrogen as the female hormone and testosterone as the male hormone. But, it’s really not as straightforward as this.

Testosterone has an important part to play for women too. and aside from increasing libido, it can contribute to an increase in energy, strength and stamina as well as an improved sense of well-being.

As with much of women’s health there is still a lack of research in this area but there is evidence that replacing testosterone alongside progesterone and oestrogen during menopause can have a really positive effect for some women. Fingers crossed more progress can be made on licensing Androfeme (a product specifically for women) through the NHS before too long. In the meantime, you can get it privately through clinics like the Newson Clinic.
