Member review: Rosie! 🤩⁠ ⁠ "Having always had issues with my lower back, I was nervous about taking part in training sessions that are strength based rather than lots of cardio (my previous regime). My concerns were misplaced and I am lifting more weight with better technique than ever before." 🗣 These are the kinds words of Rosie, who joined CP late in 2023. She joined to try something different with the goal of increasing strength, losing weight and falling in love with training again. Rosie had always suffered with a niggling lower back and came a touch nervous about lifting heavier weights to usual. However with professional coaching and tailored programming, Rosie has developed confidence in her back to withstand the bigger lifts whilst enjoying the journey. Some highlights include: ⁠ ✅ A huge 40% improvement in deadlift performance! ✅ A monumental 212% improvement in squat performance with NO BACK PAIN (something she experienced extensively before)! ✅ Developments in cardiovascular performance by recent retesting! Rosie is stronger than ever and loving the process in the meantime. 💪 And her progress does not stop there - Rosie will continue to develop her strength of which she is now trying out some more complex exercises which challenge her in ways she has never before! Here is the incredible, full review left by Rosie on her experience with us so far:⁠ ⁠ "I joined Coalition Performance 6 months ago with a goal of increasing my strength and losing weight. The team at CP has helped me achieve this, offering expert advice and technique training during every session. Having always had issues with my lower back, I was nervous about taking part in training sessions that are strength based rather than lots of cardio (my previous regime). My concerns were misplaced and I am lifting more weight with a better technique than ever before. The CP team are excellent at tailoring my programme to ensure that I never experience discomfort in my back and I feel more confident lifting heavier weights in such a controlled and carefully supervised environment. Craig has provided invaluable advice and guidance in regard to my nutrition and I have lost weight and have a better understanding of what I should be eating as a result. I am so grateful to the CP team for all the help they have provided." #rehabsolihull #strengthandconditioningsolihull #rehabbirmingham #personaltrainingbirmingham #PTsolihull #ptbirmingham #fitnessmotivation #injuryrehab #youthtraining #youthstrengthandconditioning

As I get started with the Road to The One Percent of Health, My goals for the end of this 16-week journey are as follows: 1. Strength - Back Squat 170 lbs → 250 lbs 1 rep max - Bench Press 225 lbs → 315 lbs 1 rep max - Romanian Deadlift 185 lbs → 275 lbs RDL 1 rep max 2. Size - Grow to 200+ lbs - Remain between 10%-15% bodyfat 3. Hip Rehabilitation - Regain mobility for internal rotation and flexion - Improve single leg stability - Return to playing light sports without pain 4. Testosterone Increase - Sit comfortable at 800+ ng/dL of total testosterone 5. Cardiovascular Performance - 16 km in 30 minutes on stationary bike with medium resistance Now some of these goals are quite ambitious. And that’s the point. My goal is to push my limits. If I fall short, That’s okay. The progress I make is what counts. Either way I win. I will be sharing as much as I can along the way to showcase: - My progress - My long term strategy - And the things I learn along the way ~~~ P.S. To those who would find it valuable, I’m going to run a live coaching call breaking down my 16-week program. We’re going to go over how I plan to achieve the goals listed above and how you can also make your own incredible transformation by the end of the year. If you're interested, Comment "I'm in" below and I'll add you to the list for next week's call.

Over the last few months I have been focussing on creating really good client goals with my clinical team at Kids Heart Pilates. It is something that commonly gets overlooked. By revising our goal-setting, our objective measures, assessments reporting and intevention has become a lot clearer. With clarity we’ve improved our ability to communicate the progress children are making to parents and the child's paediatric team. ⁠ ⁠ In any therapy, setting clear and measurable goals is key to both effective intervention and transparent communication. By refining our approach to goal-setting and ensuring that we use objective measures in every session, we can document and communicate the real impact we are having on children’s development. This revision in our process allows us to better support our clients and helps families understand the positive changes their children are experiencing.⁠ ⁠ Want to know more about this process?

Get stronger today to build your body’s reserve capacity tomorrow, if you end up in a hospital (we hope you don’t!), resistance training is key. By Meredith Black from MovementX 1.🏥 Building Reserve Capacity: Hospital stays can lead to a quick decline in overall strength and function. To address this, it’s important to build up your body’s reserves through exercise, both before and during a hospital stay. What they’re saying: This article tracked 710 adults with an average age of 79 throughout their hospital stay. People who were unable to walk independently at admission had a longer length of stay and an increased prevalence of cognitive impairment and frailty. For all participants, progressive resistance training improved walking ability and independence at discharge. 💪 The moral of this story is to get stronger today to build your body’s reserve capacity tomorrow. 🛡 If you end up in a hospital (we hope you don’t!), resistance training is key to getting home and back to your normal routines quickly and independently. 2. 📶 Stair Climbing for Muscle Power: How does a progressive stair-climbing program compare to traditional resistance training for improving leg strength and performance? Go deeper: This study enrolled 46 adults aged 65-75 into either a stair-climbing or resistance program, comparing effects on gait speed, sit-to-stand, stair climb, jumping, and more. They found that the stair climbing group had more significant improvement in stair climbing and equal improvements in gait speed, sit-to-stand, and jumping. Our thought bubble: Limited access to gym equipment during the holiday season? Find a staircase and get to work! Also, stairs can become a significant barrier for older adults. Practice now for better success and confidence later! 🎯 3. 🧘♂ Yoga for Managing Mood: Research has shown that mind-body exercises like yoga can have positive effects on mental health, reducing anxiety and depression symptoms in adults. #strengthtraining #seniorcare #ageandplace

One of the most common questions I get from clinicians, particularly new or internationally educated grads, is what courses should I take? With regards to exercise and strength & conditioning this older entry of my own blog in 2018 explains that. https://lnkd.in/gvc-zHrc

In this popular workshop Kate will lead you on a discovery of the breath where you’ll learn about the many unknown benefits that breathwork can bring. The breath is the only part of the autonomic nervous system that we have conscious control over yet many of us and our clients only use a fragment of our lung capacity. The patterns of trauma fix rigidly into the body impacting on the posture and breath which in turn increases the potential for physical and mental ill health. These patterns will determine how closed or open a person is to themselves, others and life. Practicing conscious breathing is a safe way to dislodge these patterns held deep within the body and by doing so supports us to step back into the flow of life. In this workshop you’ll learn: - the many benefits of breathwork - the basics of polyvagal theory and it’s links to trauma - grounding techniques for safe breathwork practice - the key structures involved in breathing with links to fight & flight - breathing techniques for self-regulation and mobilising the nervous system. Have 2 heavy(ish) books to hand for a lovely restoring breathwork practice – you’ll be invited to lie down but this can also be carried out seated.

Memorial Day is a good day to remember and check in how your New Year resolutions are going! About 6 months, perfect time! People love listing their goals and resolutions but rarely update how it actually went! So I’m going to be very real and genuine here and take some accountability 😮 I’m 1/2! Not terrible as far as goals go but certainly room for improvement. My goal of finding a clinical supervision training: yes! Completed and reaping the benefits ( more on that in coming weeks) My other goal of doing more exercise/joining a gym, some effort but not great. Not easy for me . Mental block! 😆 So I’m publicly putting it out there for a couple of reasons. One: accountability. And hoping that my 7,500 or however many connections I have will hold me accountable! My plan is to start jogging at least twice a week and to update in a week or two. Also I always try to learn from everything so definitely helps me validate my clients experience when I have a better understanding how challenging things can be ( be more active, doing therapy homework, going to gym). How are you doing with your goals? Plz share Do you exercise? How do you motivate yourself? And how are you spending Memorial Day? And of course let’s honor all those who have served this great Country and those who continue to do so. Let’s honor the memories of those no longer with us and pray for those who are. #therapy #goals #memorialday #accountability #therapist #exercise

🚨>9 Months Minimum🚨 Returning to sports after ACL reconstruction is a critical decision that requires careful consideration and patience. Research indicates that a minimum of nine months is recommended before resuming athletic activities. However, recovery varies for each individual, and numerous factors must be taken into account. Your ACL rehabilitation journey is unique. Healing progresses at different rates for everyone, and rushing the process can increase the risk of reinjury. It is vital to work with a provider experienced in ACL recovery to ensure proper guidance throughout your rehabilitation. The study by Grindem et al. (2016) underscores the significance of well-structured rehabilitation in reducing reinjury risk after ACL reconstruction. This research highlights the necessity of a systematic and individualized recovery process. Listen to your body, adhere to the advice of skilled professionals, and allow yourself the time needed to heal thoroughly. Prioritizing your long-term well-being is paramount. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please feel free to reach out. Are you frustrated with your progress? Are you not where you want to be in your recovery?
