Job Type: Part-time  So you're exercising regularly, but what are you doing?
Running, cycling, weight training, maybe even a circuits class? But STILL have knee trouble! A lot of our knee pain is caused by something simple...
SO ... what can you do? 1. STRETCH - simple stretches before and after a workout. Take a few minutes to stretch the Quads, Hamstrings and Glutes. 2. MASSAGE / FOAM ROLLING - help to reduce tightness and tension, therefore reducing any pulling on the knee. Can't bear to use the foam roller, or can't quite do it right? Book a Sports Massage! 3. BALANCE YOUR WORKOUT - make sure you are training BOTH Quads and Hamstrings, and STRETCHING both Quads and Hamstrings. Get some advice from a Sports Therapist or Personal Trainer if you are struggling. 4. GET OFF THE ROAD - mix up your running/cycling with a gym session, or even a banded or bodyweight workout at home! Target the muscles around the knee, but get some hip and core exercises in there too. 5. WORK THEM GLUTES! - adding a band in to your usual exercises can help to activate the Glutes. Squat with a band around your knees, crab walk side to side with a band around your Knees... simple changes that can target the Glutes and reduce stress on the Knee. GREAT NEWS!... Our Pregnancy/Post-Natal Pilates and Yoga class starts NEXT WEEK! There are many benefits to Pilates and Yoga both during and after Pregnancy, some of which are listed below... Benefits of Pregnancy/Post Natal Pilates & Yoga... 1. Strengthen Muscles - equip your body for the strains caused by your growing baby, and help reduce aches & pains. 2. Reduce Back Pain - stabilise your back and pelvis, and strengthen weak muscles. 3. Strengthen Pelvic Floor - to support your bowel, bladder and uterus. 4. Improve Balance - this can take a hit during pregnancy as your centre of gravity shifts. Also... Take the strain off your back and pelvis. Help to get the baby in the right position for birth. Relax and control breathing. Meet other Mums or Mums-to-be! Time just for you! And help to bond with your unborn baby. Release endorphins - the feel good factor! The classes will be in 6 week courses and will cost £40. This works out at approx £6.67 per class - A bargain for small, specialised classes with a qualified Pilates instructor, Personal trainer and Pre & Post Natal exercise specialist. Classes will be small (6-8 per class) meaning that you can have more 1 to 1 support, and each exercise can be tailored to your specific stage of pregnancy (or during the Post-Natal stage). We welcome ladies at ANY stage of their pregnancy, and ladies who have recently had a baby too! The class will have ladies with very different abilities, and that's great! Whether you think you have a decent core or no core at all - this is definitely the class for you. Get in touch with any questions, for further information or to book onto the course! Hope to see you there!Tel: 07984 008 186

To apply, send CV to MaximiseST@gmail.com Closing date for applications: 28th February 2018.  What is Postural Imbalance?
Postural imbalance occurs when opposite muscles, or groups of muscles, do not have equal strength or flexibility (muscle length). Example 1: The "pecs" (chest muscles) become shortened and the upper back muscles (rhomboids, trapezius etc) become lengthened, pulling you into a rounded shoulder posture. (See Thoracic Kyphosis image). Example 2: The anterior neck muscles (at the front) i.e. Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) become tight and pull the head forwards, meaning that the posterior neck muscles (at the back) i.e. Splenius Capitis or Upper trapezius. (See forward head image) Your body consists of muscles that work both together and against each other (agonist and antagonist) to provide both strength and movement. When muscles become over/under-active or shortened/lengthened they cause an imbalance, which means that your posture is no longer optimal, in sitting, standing or through movement. It is important to address poor posture caused by muscle imbalance, as it can cause significant discomfort and pain. So, what can you do to help prevent this from happening? 1) Correct your Posture. - Help yourself by correcting how you sit, don’t slouch! Try to keep your body in an upright position, retracting your shoulders and straightening your back. - It's the same principle when standing, make sure your posture is upright. Try not to sway your hips forwards as this will increase pressure on your Lumbar vertebrae causing discomfort in your lower back. - Be aware of your posture when moving or lifting objects. Always bend at the knee and keep your back straight, this will mean the weight is more evenly distributed and will off-load the spine. 2) Use your weaker side when carrying objects. - We all have a dominant side on which we carry objects or perform simple tasks with. Try using your less dominant side to break the habit. This will allow you to strengthen when performing daily tasks and will mean less load through your dominant side. It may be hard to do this subconsciously but keep reminding yourself! 3) Avoid “Text Neck” - We are all guilty of it! Whether its looking down at your phone or reading a book/paper, your neck starts to suffer. After-all your head is rather heavy! Start reading or looking at your phone in front of you at eye level, or reducing the amount of time you use your phone to ensure minimal strain. 4) Get yourself more active - Getting yourself more active by walking, jogging or cycling will help to combat postural imbalance due to inactivity. - Strengthening your spinal muscles and your core will help with your posture, making your muscles stronger to distribute forces equally through your body. If you’re a keen gym member, focus on engaging your core and back muscles at least 1 session a week, use it as a maintenance session and keep on top of your posture. - Make sure you perform the correct technique to ensure good posture whilst performing exercises - get advice from a professional if you are unsure! 5) Releasing the tension - As our muscles work and start to fatigue they tighten, so it is important that you keep a recovery strategy in mind. This can include; stretching, foam rolling, mobility exercise and deep tissue massage. You should use these modalities to reduce your postural imbalance. - Deep tissue massage (DTM) can consist of a range of techniques to loosen and stretch muscle fibres. This Increases the blood flow bringing fresh nutrients and oxygenated blood to the area of tension. It improves the temperature of the area, and kick starts a healing process to repair muscle. Deep tissue massage also has a positive effect on the texture and tone of the muscle, as well as stimulating the nervous system and promoting the relaxation of a muscle. - Other benefits of Deep tissue massage (DTM) include;
