Everyone’s queuing up for the hard stuff. 🏃‍♀️🥊🏊‍♂️🎾

Long runs, boxing, triathlon training, padel, swim sets... we love pushing our bodies. But while that line gets longer every week, the door marked “Recovery” stays empty. 🚪

Your body gives you everything you ask of it. Muscles tighten, joints get cranky, and small niggles quietly turn into injuries. Recovery is part of the training, not a reward for after it.

💆 Sport & therapeutic massage
🏃 Running gait analysis & retraining
🌿 Wellness treatments

Give back to the body that carries you. Book your Me Time. 💜

EXERCISE IS MEDICINE 💊 Do it every day.
If you think about it you know very well, in the past sedentary lifestyle didn’t really exist. Walking to get the food, carrying the bags home - no car, cook - now food delivery, clean - not that many afforded housemaids, work physically. Throughout the day the continuous movements were more than what we are trying to do here. Balancing the 8-10 hours sitting with 1 hour gym/yoga/fitness class IF! you do that daily 1 hour. Does it seem like a fair compensation? For me no.

So at least Do IT EVERY DAY!

As I learned and experienced, the human body needs many different types of exercise to function the best possible way for long term.
Today I practiced Pilates which pretty much reminded me to the gymnastic class in the Sports university. Strong and useful. Full body workout, with isolation challenges teaching your brain and muscles at the same time to control and focus.
Thanks to Ilona, I discovered more about hip and pelvis control, how to improve its alignment with targeted exercises. This misalignment is present in every sports I do, and Pilates can be one very good way to little by little correct it.

THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Pain is not always something you should push through.😣
A common mistake, especially among athletes, is resisting necessary rest and not allowing enough time for recovery.

To break the vicious cycle, it is important to listen to your body — and to the professionals helping you recover👩‍⚕️

Those who have suffered from plantar fasciitis know very well what it is, but for the lucky ones let’s explain:
Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition affecting the plantar fascia, a strong band of connective tissue running along the bottom of the foot, from the heel towards the toes.

It helps support the arch of the foot and absorb and transfer forces during walking and running. 🏃👆

When the tissue is repeatedly overloaded without enough recovery, pain can develop.

Common symptoms:
• Sharp or stabbing pain under or around the heel
• Pain and stiffness with the first steps in the morning
• Pain after prolonged standing or walking
• Pain during or after running

There is rarely just one cause

• Sudden increase in training load
• Repetitive loading from running or prolonged standing
• Tight calf muscles / reduced ankle mobility
• Weakness or poor load tolerance of the foot and lower leg
• Arch abnormalities
• Altered walking gait

The treatment usually involves more than simply treating the painful area. Depending on the individual of course.

✔️ Manual therapy, myofascial release
✔️ Calf and foot mobility work, targeted strengthening
✔️ Progressive strengthening
✔️ Load management
✔️ Running technique and training adjustments
✔️ Gradual return to normal activity
✔️ Ice & Rest
✔️ Night Splints - keep the calves stretched
✔️ Surgery - everyone wants to avoid

The good news? Plantar fasciitis often responds well to conservative treatment, including manual therapy.
But if the contributing factors are not addressed, the pain can return when you go back to your usual lifestyle

Don’t just chase the pain. Find out why it keeps coming back.
