Move Sports Physiotherapy & Pilates

There's no one right posture.

No perfect way to sit, stand or lift. Researchers keep looking for the posture that protects you from pain, and keep not finding it.

Your best posture is usually your next one.

Are you getting the most out of your physio?

>> Imagine getting more than 1 set of eyes, ears or hands working on your case.
>> Imagine if there was a whole team behind the scenes curious about solving tricky cases by offering different perspectives when the needle isn’t moving or progress stagnates.

Well that’s what you get at Move
- Team treating for tricky / complex cases (in consult or behind the scenes)
- Senior support when needed
- Team treating between modality’s for superior results

We don’t understand why most clinics don’t operate this way

That sharp pain on the outside of your hip when you lie on your side?

It usually gets called bursitis. It usually isn't.

Most of the time it's gluteal tendinopathy and the glute med and min tendons getting compressed where they wrap over the bone. The bursa is an innocent bystander taking the blame.

Why the label matters: the treatment is different. Stretching it, crossing your legs, sleeping on that side, sitting with your knees together and all of those compress the tendon further. Loading it properly settles it down.

The LEAP trial, published in the BMJ, compared education plus targeted exercise against a cortisone injection. The exercise group did better at 8 weeks, and were still ahead at 12 months.

Cortisone can buy you time. It doesn't build a tendon.

Physio's that touch you !

Heck !

We aren't old school physio but we do know the power of dialing down your pain & giving you relief .

Our physio's all do loads of cpd hands on practice & training to ensure we can change your pain day 1 & help you get moving in the right direction

Why do we care so much about the 24–48 hours after loading a tendon?

How many times has your physio asked you this....

But do you actually know why ???

Because the response after the session can tell us more than what happens during it.

With tendinopathy, pain during exercise doesn’t automatically mean the load was harmful a& being pain-free during exercise doesn’t automatically mean you got the dose right.

What I’m interested in is the response to load over time.

A tendon can tolerate a session reasonably well in the moment, then become more symptomatic later that day or the following morning. That delayed response gives us useful information about whether the combination of load, volume, intensity and frequency matched the person’s current capacity.

So rather than using a rigid rule like:

“Pain = stop.”

I’m asking:

What happened during the exercise?
What happened afterwards?
And what happened over the next 24–48 hours?

Did symptoms settle back towards baseline?

Was morning stiffness noticeably worse?

Did their usual activities become harder?

Did the flare settle quickly, or were they still significantly aggravated 1–2 days later?

That helps us make a decision about the next dose.

If they’re back around baseline and functioning normally → we may maintain or progress.

If symptoms increased but settled relatively quickly → the load may still have been appropriate, depending on the goal and context.

If there’s a substantial or prolonged increase in pain, stiffness or loss of function → we may need to adjust the dose.

And importantly, that doesn't necessarily mean removing load altogether.

We can change volume, intensity, range, speed, exercise selection, recovery time or frequency.

The 24–48 hour response isn’t a perfect biological window or a magical tendon rule.

It’s a clinical monitoring tool.

Because rehab isn't just:

“Did that hurt?”

It’s:

“How did you respond to what we asked your body to do?”

That’s the information that helps us progressively build capacity without unnecessarily fearing pain — or repeatedly exceeding what someone can currently recover from.
