Get that spring back in your step
The property of “springiness” within a tendon is an important factor for agility, speed, power and a short ground contact time during athletic movements as required in several types of sports (Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (2018) 17, 223-228).
Think of springs or coils, the tighter you compress them, the more energy is stored and released, giving you that "bounce in your step". However, before developing that ability, we need strong and robust muscles to support those tendons (as they attach to bone via the tendon after all).
Now you are probably wondering how we can train that "springiness"!
Well lucky at the Injury Rehab Centre, we can assess you for base strength and start to train or improve your performance.
Box jumps are a simple and easy way to develop and progress your Tendon springiness.

Getting our backs strong, not protecting them!
When it comes to back pain, whether it be acute or chronic, many of us are guilty of being too conservative with our back, that includes therapists and patients!
In the acute stage, gentle movement is more beneficial than complete rest. This may include gentle stretching or supported movements from an external object such as the floor or a wall. The key is, early movement and gently loading is the first step in recovery!
When it comes to the persistent back pain, there may be multiple factors contributing to this. A lot of the time there may be a lack of strength throughout the body, or it may be a result of being far weaker on one side of the body compared to the other. Another factor may simply be a lack of flexibility at a specific joint in the body that leads to issues in the lower back.
Here at the Injury Rehab Centre, we like to get to the bottom of the cause of all injuries, especially back pain! That's why we love our point of difference by providing our one hour testing...
