Recover Strong Louise

Disaster happens…just got to use the tools available 🤷🏻‍♀️

No hair tie, no problem 😉
Cut off the top of a glove and tada…brand new hair accessory 💁🏻‍♀️

And that’s why our glove bill is so high…boys are always using all my hair bobbles 😅

I swear it doesn’t hurt too bad when you snip it with scissors to take it out 😅

I’m not just a sports therapist…I’m a girl sports therapist working in football ⚽️ it’s different 🤭

I stand corrected…the vics did in fact get used last night!

Player habits or lack of breathing function in this heat?😅 we are Scottish…it’s hot and muggy 🫠

The pre game day can be, no, it IS hectic! So I like to be as prepped as possible. Thinking of almost everything I can have out, out in the changing rooms. You best believe I’m going to get asked where something is and it will be on top of the box…I work in a male dominated environment. Finding things is not their forte, especially not things that are clear in sight 😅

Life of a sports therapist 🤷🏻‍♀️

The one where Louise takes on a new team, higher level, working in a new clinic and still as obsessed 🤩

Some may say unsung hero 💁🏻‍♀️😅 and people think we just give out rubs 🙄

Sports Therapy is Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s a whirlwind but I wouldn’t change it 🙌🏻

From freezing cold, dark nights to sweaty palms…it’s all worth it!

First night back pitchside 🙌🏻

Feels like forever…it’s been like 3 weeks 😅

Fabulous first night with no injuries 🙌🏻 got the opportunity to watch some training after taking some of the warm up 💪🏼 picking up on how some of the boys move and identifying some potential weaknesses.

I’ve kicked things off with doing a bit of history check, to get on top of any pre existing injuries and put some preventative measures in place 🙌🏻

Testing will kick off with some basic strength, range of motion and of course a cheeky s**t test 🧠

Sometimes advice and education we do as Sports Therapist aren’t the ones you learn in uni. They aren’t the most obvious. But it’s the stuff clients are missing the most.

Spending time doing the things that light them up. And during a period of injury and pain, that can feel impossible!

So taking things slow…easier said than done I get that! But little by little adding those things that make you feel like you back in to your routine will make it easier 🙌🏻
