Given how many things hurt after this I suspect my future will hold more cycling. Pleased with the first half then my knee went. Then my other knee. Having the crowd cheer me on got me through it but I think 10kms only from now on Check out my run on Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/1188020533/shareable_images/map_based?hl=en-US&v=1505646590

It’s not important to run, cycle, climb, swim, etc if you’re a physio. Being a good physio it’s about knowledge, analysis and application of sound principles to aid your client. That said, if I want to know how to shave 2 mins off the Cheddar Gorge climb, I’m in a good position to work this…

What an amazing day, I trust you’ll agree. But what to do? It’s a familiar experience we all regularly face; the house needs some work, the garden didn’t sure itself out, I would like to see some jazz, go for a bike ride, see friends, hang out with lovely wife. Fitting in exercise can be…

I’ve been thinking about my practice and what sets it apart from other physios and it’s difficult to say.

I entered a Sportive to celebrate having a proper bike and to see how I faired. Most importantly I wanted to enjoy feeling good. Since starting to ride (and bear in mind I’ve been climbing for 25 years and running for 3) I am thinner, leaner, have a lower HR and generally feel better. Cholesterol…

I’m not very good at being part of a team, not sure why but I’ve come to accept it. Which is why I’m lucky enough to work in an environment (2 different ones) where people don’t seem to mind. As a staff jolly someone suggested a bike ride so I planned a route – quite…

So this walked in to my clinic today. It’s the right knee, any guesses.

In my case by climbing 200m, cycling 50km and running 20km (almost). I dropped my phone so had a mild panic and lost the urge to complete the run. Luckily I found the phone. I then had a gentle pub crawl and now I feel,…. spent. A good day followed by a fun evening at…
