So, you think that your glutes are fine, you are working them out regularly, but something still does not feel right.

This muscle originates from the anterior sacrum and sacroiliac joint and inserts on the greater…
Your glutes need to be thought about and worked out to be strong, but not to the detriment of the other muscles in the body.

YOU ARE NOT FRAGILE Yeah, we shouted at you, and I am not apologising at all for it. Too many people walk into our treatment room with the words ‘I have a weak….’ with no clinical reasoning for it, no formal diagnosis, no MRI scan to back up what a doctor has assumed is wrong with you. In fact, nothing…
The human body is amazing, and surprisingly very strong. But you and I both know people who avoid certain movements or activities for fear of hurting themselves… and they are probably hurting themselves more in the long run. We know someone who is afraid of twisting movements, because one time a few years ago, a twisting movement put them in…
How long should it really take to recover from an injury? Oftentimes clients expectations are to be back to normal exceedingly quickly, and can be frustrated when that does not occur.
