The Movement Clinic

4 YEARS IN BUSINESS & AT PROJECT 🏡

It’s been some shift the past few years, building up clientele & doing as much CPD as possible. I’m fortunate enough that the vast majority of my clients I’ve worked with for 3-4 years now, building connections is the best part of the job.

The goal was to always work with people who are serious about training, I’ve now got 7 GB athletes & 50+ high level competitors who I work with closely which i would have killed for at the beginning, extremely grateful I get to do this everyday.

In the past 12 months I’ve managed to close my diary to new clients & focus more effort into building the online rehab presence with the help of and mentorship’s , more recently expanding my role within the Performance Academy which I’m really excited to grow with 🙏🏻

It Feels like yesterday I had a meeting with about renting a space & he kept it free for me until i qualified, forever in his debt for the opportunities and encouragement he’s given me over the years ❤️

None of it would have been possible without the Mrs by my side 🫶

DATA DRIVEN STRENGTH TESTING

The missing piece of the Rehab arsenal, finding out what a muscle & joint can tolerate

Max output, time a muscle takes to fatigue, its ability to handle load over x amount of reps, all factors that will now be able to be measured and progressed

More direct & measurable rehab & training goals, objective areas to work on especially post injury to a tissue or area

This will be rolling out from the 20th of April, Existing clients keep an eye on the app for this service becoming available

ITALY PART DUE 🇮🇹

Best time with the Mrs

Pisa, Venice, Como, Milan

Time & time again I see people having 3-4 things booked before they’ve started preparing for the first one

It’s important to have goals but FOMO kicks in & the main reasons we all should train gets forgotten about

Longevity is the name of the game

Particularly in the Hyrox & functional fitness world people neglect the longer periods of building the foundations, focusing purely on PB’s over actually feeling good or getting there without falling apart

Most people don’t lose extension

They lose exposure to it

If you spend hours each day sitting, driving, scrolling, or training in flexion.. your nervous system adapts to that as your normal

It becomes efficient there
It becomes safe there

And the opposite?
It feels stiff, Weak, Uncomfortable

Not because you’re damaged, because you’re unfamiliar

Your nervous system protects what it doesn’t trust

This is why randomly stretching rarely fixes the problem
You don’t just need more range - you need strength, control, and tolerance in that range

Gradual exposure changes what your body perceives as safe

Position ➡️ Exposure ➡️ Adaptation

Train the ranges you avoid

TMC

Recently ticked off working with 1000 people, here are the biggest lessons for the past Four years 📝

SHOULDER PAIN WHEN PRESSING? this one’s for you 🤝

This probably makes up about 15% of what I see day to day, the shoulder is complex and is very adaptable but also is very predictable

The vast majority of people are stuck in some form of T spine flexion & shoulder flexion due to desk work - if everything is already biased to being forward, it makes sense to put an emphasis on making the posterior shoulder an area to proactively work on

If this is something you struggle with, send me a message 📮

REST IS NOT A SOLUTION

This obviously doesn’t include serious damage but with 95% of most injuries this very much applies

Leaving something for a couple weeks and hoping it will be grand is not a viable tactic, tissue tolerance will reduce and you’ll be digging yourself a bigger hole to get out of

find what you can tolerate without pain and work with that, test the water as much as possible without taking the p**s

Work with a movement professional to see what biomechanical or movement qualities are lacking and work on them

If a Physio tells you that you should stop training for x amount of time or a GP says you should take up swimming instead due to a low back strain, please tell them to get fu**ed

Happy to announce I’m now integrated into the Performance Academy as the in-house rehab & injury specialist 🩼

I’ll be working closely with athletes who are managing injuries or need training adjustments around niggles.

Steve and I have been collaborating behind the scenes for the past six months, so it’s class to now make this official 🤞🏻

JUNK VOLUME 🚮

This is a overlooked area of training & something the vast majority of the general public fall into, doing 4 sets of 10 on everything and expecting progress

It takes time to find what your minimum effective dose is when it comes to volume but goes a long way to both progressing & stopping yourself from getting injured every month

Why do more if you can do less?
