Top 10 relaxation tips
 
1.Make time to relax!
I know, I know, there is so much to do, and if you're not doing it you're thinking about doing it. To relax you need to give yourself permission, to grant yourself a little time in which to practice. But it sure beats a heart attack! It also beats anxiety and exhaustion. Don't waste your precious life on feeling exhausted. Fifteen minutes a day of relaxation practice can help a lot.to read more click here:

Greetings!

Happy Summer-
I know we're not really having a summer but at least this weather is more condusive to training than 90 degree heat!
 
Summer is also a good time to review your fitness goals and see what you have achieved in the last few months. Don't forget if you haven't had a reassessment with Chrissie lately then you should probably book it! Always good to get some feedback!
 
Give us a call if there's anything you need!

Graduate Sports Therapist
 
 Kim Escrig
We now have our very own MOBILE sports therapist! She is one of a very few number of graduate sports therapists who will travel to you!

Why would you see a sports therapist rather
than a physiotherapist?
Kim:

A physiotherapist is more concerned with getting people back on their feet and functioning following illness, surgery, injury, whereas, as sports therapist will get people back to 'full functional fitness', meaning that they will take rehab that extra mile, and get the person back to their chosen sport, at least to the level they were at before injury. A physiotherapist CAN do this if they have specialised in sports physiotherapy, but will not have covered rehab in the same way.

Sports therapists are able to do all the manual therapy techniques, massage, and electrotherapy.

The services I provide for London academy of Personal Trainer clients are:
  • Sports massage
  • Manual therapy treatments which can help with joint mal-alignment or to simply increase range of movement at a joint
  • Progressive rehabilitation programmes following injury
  • Biomechanical assessment for specific sports, i.e. gait analysis in running, or muscle imbalances for sports such as swimming or tennis or sprinting, with the aim to correct the imbalances/ faults to prevent injury
  • Back care programmes
  • Online sports injury treatment advice - click here.

How fit are you?
One of the articles we're putting on the website is this one about how fit you are. It asks would-be clients if they have a beginners level of fitness. Check it out to see how fit you are now compared to what you used to be! This set of exercises should seem fairly easy to you.
But do they????

Just to let you know we're also re-designing our website so when it's up and running (by August) we'll let you know. Hopefully it will provide more information and look up to date and fab!
Do tell us what you think....Speak to you next time
Best fitness,
