We are opening a new Physio clinic in Stoke based at Samien Fitness!

ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 21st WE WILL BE OPENING OUR BRAND NEW CLINIC AT SAMIEN FITNESS!


I am really excited by this new clinic! It is based in such a great gym, with a big emphasis on strength and conditioning and injury prevention. The equipment is second to none and the personal trainers are really clued in. They are able to recognise any flaws in your technique, which could be compensating around a problem or even cause a problem or injury.


Overall the gym has a personal and individualised approach, which is much better than the big chain gyms that you see around. I have a close working relationship with the coaches and this is all ideal to help you with anything that you need.

I personally and professionally have a special interest in strength and muscle building and I am constantly researching the latest evidence in this field to maximise these training effects. I come at training with an approach that is optimised for maximal benefit but with longevity and a lowering of injury risk at the forefront.

To start with, I will be running a Friday early morning clinic, which will start at 7.30am. Hopefully this will meet the needs of people who are busy, as to get the treatment you need before you go to work. I feel this is a service lacking in the area, so it will be worth the early wake up time, so I'd better get to bed early on Thursday!

Anyway, if you have a niggle or an injury, need advice on training to minimise injury risk or maximise strength or muscle building or anything else, then either have a word with anyone at Samien fitness or call me directly on 07866195914 and we will be able to help.

Patella Tendinopathy

I hear different terminology used all the time, so what is tendinitis, tendinosis or tendinopathy? Tendinopathy: This is a broad term encompassing painful conditions occurring in and around tendons, which includes tendinitis and tendinosis. Tendinitis: This basically means inflammation of a tendon. Tendinosis:  This means degeneration of tendon (Meaning cumulative damage). So what does this mean to me? For a long time tendinitis was the term used and it was considered that injured tendons were simply inflamed. Then the thinking shifted to the thought that there was little or no inflammation present in these conditions (Andres & Murrell 2008). However as is with research, the thinking is changing again: There may be an inflammatory response associated with chronic tendinopathy, even though recent opinions had decided it to be non-inflammatory (Rees 2013). So both types can occur! This is important as the way that you treat each one has to be

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Heard of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? Probably not but you may have heard of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Well they are similar but Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is in the wrist and hand whereas Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is in the Elbow. What is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? Basically it is a compression neuropathy, which means that a nerve is "trapped”. The nerve at fault in this case is the ulna nerve and where it gets “trapped” is in the cubital tunnel of the elbow: See the below picture: How common is it? It is the second most common compression neuropathy in the upper limb (Palmer & Hughes 2009). What causes it? A common cause is frequent bending of the elbow or constant repetitive pressure on the elbow itself. This then irritates the nerve and it is irritated too much then it becomes a “neuropathy”. What are the symptoms? The patient will complain of pain and numbness in the ring and little finger and weakness is common. If left untreated then this
