Whoever is in charge of the @apaphysio media campaigns needs to rethink this current one they have for ‘tradies’ 🤦♂️
Potentially nocebic, doesn’t describe physio well, and the advice of don’t lift above shoulder height or below waist is utter nonsense and totally impractical! 🤦���️
The iliotibial band is the tough band of fibers that run along the outside of the thigh. As the knee is flexed to about 30 degrees, the Iliotibial Band changes from an extensor moment arm to a flexor moment arm (this produces the pivot shift when there is an ACL tear) #knee

Managing an injury mid marathon training is an interesting challenge. Runners present with an injury that is often due to overuse and yet need to be able to do more than they’re currently doing. Time is tight and it’s a balance between maintaining training and managing pain!
We are loving having our running clients in before the London marathon! Coming with aches/pains or minor injuries they have picked up recently looking for advice on managing them and treatment! Don’t suffer through get the right advice you need to compete!
Best approach for most low back pain:

Yet most people still get: ❌
This must stop! https://t.co/XCU1EUE0qc
Suffering with calf pain but your normal stretches don’t seem to re-create your symptoms? Everyone knows about the gastroc but not always about the soleus because it attaches below the knee, it needs to be done different, if you want advice don’t hesitate to ask!
ITB syndrome is seen a lot in our running clients getting a vague dull ache around the outside of the knee and it can be down to technique or lack of strength around the hip. We will diagnoses the symptoms, manage the pain, and treat the problem!
Lower back pain isn’t something that you have to just put up with, it is treatable and you will find that with the right treatment and management that the pain you suffer from can reduce quicker than you think!
