Mechanism 1️⃣ : Intraneural fluid Dispersal
Gilbert et al 2015 injected dye into cadaveric sciatic nerves.
They then stretched/relaxed the nerve 25 times vs control nerves.
Intraneural dye spreading was significantly higher in stretched nerves
Kicking off 2025 professional development progressamme for The Physio Group, I'm delighted to bring together a panel with this level of expertise in GAA sport.
Great way to kick start any CPD plan for 2025. Ideal for all professionals working in GAA📈🏋🏻♀️🩻
Menstrual cycle phase has NO influence on performance‼️
This new groundbreaking study took 21 highly trained female endurance athletes and took them through a battery of performance tests during…
Early Follicular + Ovulatory + Mid-Luteal Phases🩸
…for either one (n = 7) or two (n = 14) cycles.
The performance variables included; peak oxygen uptake, time-to-exhaustion, running economy, power output 📊
🗣️ “None of the measured performance-determining variables were influenced by MC phase or serum estrogen or progesterone concentrations.”
Research has shown that stretching can reduce all-cause mortality. We know stretching is key to slower aging and quality of life - all ages.
Interesting: those who did flexibility exercise at least five times a week had a 20% lower risk of dying during the follow-up period than those who didn't stretch at all. That was slightly better than the risk reduction associated with high volumes of aerobic exercise and resistance training.
The Benefits of Stretching:
1. More Strength
2. Reduced Arterial Stiffness - Heart Health
3. Improved Performance
4. Joint Health
Consistency is a key factor.

#BJSM blog: Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain 💥💪
Does the addition of motor control or strengthening exercises to education result in better outcomes for rotator cuff-related shoulder pain?
Our break-down of a recent study ⚡️
READ HERE ➡️ https://t.co/rzUViBXBLA
Thoracic outlet syndrome is, for me, one of those conditions around the shoulder/neck that I’m not really confident in treating.
So I decided to have a closer look at the literature. Be aware, this is not a heavily researched area so much is based on low quality evidence.
