Are you a golfer? Come and find out what's limiting your swing with a TPI Movement Screen. First we will run the screen, then I will use a range of methods to help reduce any restrictions I find such as sports massage and stretching. Then we will run through some exercises together to help stop these restrictions coming back.

Back when our baby Leonidas was 2 months old he got very ill and was in hospital for a week. Whilst there we experienced the generosity of the Northampton Hospital Charity who really helped us out during our stay. On Sunday we got to say thank you by raising money and running a relay half marathon for them. We were touched by the number of people that came out to support the half marathon which choirs, bands and kids with sweets dotted all along the route. What a great experience !!!!

An effective golf swing starts from the ground and transfers in sequence through the hips, torso, arms, wrist, shaft and club head. We call this the kinematic sequence. Although there are thousands of ways to swing a club, this kinematic sequence takes place through all of them. Therefore, increasing power through your hips, torso and arms should, in theory, translate into bigger yardage. So why is this not always the case?

According to a recent clinical meta-analysis published in the journal Obesity, data across 659 patients confirmed that approximately 30% of the total weight shed on GLP-1 medications is actually lean muscle mass. This side effect has been highly documented in popular culture with the terms “wegovy butt” or “ozempic face” commonly used. What this highlights is a cultural awareness of how a reduction in muscle mass as a result of GLP-1 Medications is associated with a change in aesthetics, but beyond aesthetics, what else is this loss in mass doing?

When used correctly under medical supervision GLP-1 medications such as wegovy, ozempic and mounjaro are an effective way of losing weight. However, one of the common risks is a reduction in muscle mass.... Read my full blog on Why Strength Training is ESSENTIAL on GLP-1 Meds. Link in comments.

This is one of the biggest myths in fitness and something that I have been guilty of believing myself.

Muscle soreness (DOMS) is simply your body's response to an unfamiliar or overly demanding stimulus—especially if you've changed exercises, increased training volume, or returned after time off.

You don't need to be sore to:
✅ Build muscle
✅ Get stronger
✅ Improve your fitness
✅ Burn fat
What actually matters is progressive overload which is gradually asking your body to do a little more over time.

That could mean lifting a bit more weight, completing an extra rep or even improving your technique.

In fact, if you're so sore after every workout that you struggle to move or have to skip your next session, your training probably isn't helping you progress.
The best training programme isn't the one that leaves you crawling out of the gym.
It's the one that you can recover from, stay consistent with, and make steady progress on week after week.
📚 Research consistently shows that muscle soreness isn't a reliable indicator of muscle growth or training effectiveness. Long-term progress comes from consistent, progressive training—not chasing soreness.
Who else feels that if they aren't aching the next day they didn't work hard enough?

Whenever you go to a professional presenting with back pain one of the main areas of focus will be core work.

Our core is responsible for holding our spine stable through changes in direction and load. When the core isn’t strong enough to cope- we get pain.

Here is a great core strengthening exercise to help strengthen and stabilise.

Our physicality declining as we get older is often put down to “an age thing”. What if we looked at it differently?

A reframe: We lost our physical capabilities because time has passed, and we spent that time sat down at our desks, the sofa and driving the car. It’s not because we got older!!! It’s what we have been doing.

And with this being said we can change those things despite getting older for the better!!!
