Reach your performance goals with Ten Health & Fitness Running MOT

-

Have you started your Marathon training and realised that it is a little bit harder that you expected it to be? Not recovering as quickly as you would like after your run? Or maybe you want to maximise your training to beat that PB? Whatever your reason might be, a Running MOT is the perfect way to help you reach your goals.

The high intensity nature of running can take its toll on our bodies, especially due to our 21st century lifestyle which is defined by negative daily activities including bad posture, inactiveness, deskbound jobs, phones, heavy handbags and high heels. Over time, all of us develop a number of compensatory movement patterns – it could be to get around areas of weakness, or the result of an injury, or in response to a lifestyle-related issue.

So, if you think it’s worth spending an hour to have an expert physiotherapist assess your posture, movement patterns, range and quality of movement, to understand where you are now, what the issues may be, what’s caused them, and what to do about it before they become painful or damaging, then a Running MOT is a great idea.

During the session a physio will collate information from a number of tests to develop strategies to minimise the risk of injury using techniques such as biomechanical correction, running technique correction and strength and stretching exercises to correct any weaknesses or imbalances. He or she will then give you a plan to address the underlying issues, of the best exercises/strategies that you could do to help and resolve any problems or prevent injury.
Ten Health & Fitness offers a brilliant Running MOT where one of their top physios will guide you through an hour long Running MOT. The Physio will give you bespoke tips and advice on how to work with and around your weak spots and niggles. A MOT is an important part of a prehabilitative approach to you training and will help you to get a greater understanding of your body and how it works to help you with your training and to get the best preparation for next big race.

There's nothing quite like a good night's sleep, but do we really know what this means?

Is a good night's sleep a long sleep? A deep sleep? Can we ‘catch up’ with our sleep?  Modern day life is attacking our sleep like never before. Exposure to blue light, higher alcohol and caffeine consumption and stress are all guilty culprits in disrupting our daily rest, making it harder to not only fall to sleep, but achieve sleep of a decent quality.   Why is sleep important? As we sleep, our body repairs muscles, replenishes energy stores and releases hormones that regulate growth and appetite, while our minds organise and store the memories of the day before. It is important that we get enough sleep so that these functions can be completed. Sleep also needs to be uninterrupted and of a high enough quality. Without decent sleep, our bodies do not fully regenerate and repair.   Regular poor sleep puts you at risk of serious medical conditions, including obesity, heart disease and diabetes and above all can shorten your life expectancy. However, regular qu...

Looking to re-connect with your sense of play? Kundalini is key

-
We live in a society where the pressure is on. This comes not only from a public desire to succeed at work and at home, but from the demands we place on ourselves. We might feel great when we actually do reach our goals, but what if this has come at the expense of our wellbeing and the ability to play? How sustainable will it be? Kids play and so feel high mood feelings throughout the day but sadly, as we get older and become more focused on our goals, this is one of the first things we tend to drop. People tend to forget how important child’s play is and the amazing results that a bit of added play can have in our busy lives. So how do you go about re-connecting with your inner child and the ability to play? Well for one, you can try Kundalini yoga. Kundalini yoga is essentially an uplifting blend of spiritual and physical practices that incorporates movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation, and the chanting of mantras. For someone n...
