All our thoughts go to Lewis Moody and his family following his diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease. Everyone at 4ED and Gloucester Rugby Foundation are on hand to provide any support we can.

For now, please see the link below to donate to the Lewis Moody Fundraising Appeal.

We remain dedicated to fighting for treatment, for a cure, and to support families living with MND.

🏃🏽‍♂️Pelvic tilt and sprinting!

Acceleration is quad dominant. Yet players are getting more and more hamstring injuries during mid acceleration.🏥

✅Solution?🍀

Develop software and hardware!

🦿Teach them how to create co contractions between hamstring and quad to “share the load” and increase movement efficiency.

🧐Where to start?

Teach Proper hinging, with a focus on trunk and shin discipline.

💨Move from static postural drills then progress to resisted runs, contrasting with live accelerations (can happen in one session or building through as progressions of rehab).

Plus run a solid lumber pelvic programming concurrently to help the new pattern stick under higher speeds, fatigue and complexity.

Train movements AND muscles.

Kev Bowring - A wonderful human, a man who understood people and a great rugby mind. I only had a small amount of time with Kev but I learnt a lot in that time. He always made time to share his experience and knowledge, often leaving me to think over a pearl of wisdom. Thoughts go out to his family and friends ❤️ RIP

@KyleGoggin Congrats Goggs!!! 👏🏻👏🏻. Never in doubt and hope you’re well mate.

Really enjoyed getting back on my feet and back in a gym, which I haven't done in over a year.
Thank you to the legends Rob and Sarah @ Apex Neuro for looking after me with real care and empathy whilst working hard to push me to expand my limits.

In the video I am doing leg extension at 70kg and hip thrusters with 40kg plus whatever that bar adds. I am also attached to a machine that supplies direct current to nerves, which supports the muscle group I am working in the hope of engaging some of the connections I have lost with MND. ✌🏼

Please read and share this open letter. It’s so important to everyone in the MND community that this is heard. @mndassoc must urgently work to ensure this happens immediately. #proleukin offers us all a glimmer of hope but where is it?
