You’re not afraid of failing.
You’re afraid of what other people will think of you if you fail.
But if you’re afraid of that, imagine what they think of you when you aren’t even trying.
Oh yea, they aren’t.
Insertional Achilles pain is tricky, having clients understand the ‘compression’ element can be really helpful for management. I spend a lot of time ensuring clients understand this.

Whatever is required to get the message across.
I was talking to a friend of mine who decided recently to get into the content game.
He asked why my content was getting more reach than his.
I said “I don’t know. We put out about 250 per week. How many pieces a week are you putting out?”
He replied “I’m posting a measly once a day. Ha! Thank you for resetting my minimum standard.”
He’s already an incredibly successful man (more than me) and it instantly *clicked* for him.
Volume. (But there’s more to it than that)
I’ve had this happen to me in business more times than I can count.
I think “oh I should just do 30% more or 50% more.”
But the people who are beating me aren’t doing 50 PERCENT more, they’re doing 50 TIMES more. Big. Difference.
We think we’re doing something wrong, but in reality we aren’t doing nearly enough of it.
To get 5x the results sometimes you have to put in 50x the effort.
Sub-talar joint mobilisation 🦶
A great way to tackle stiffness in this joint for short-term relief!
Take note as Andrew Wynd shows you how to do this with excellent handling 🤚
The Ankle Sprain Masterclass is one you'll want to watch!

Spoken a lot about expectations of recovery this week, and I think it can really make the difference in terms of adherence to a plan.
Transparency goes a long way.
With any sudden flare in pain, trying to understand changes in ‘load’ can be really helpful.
It can even be as simple as someone increasing their step count.
Going from 5000 to 10000 steps per day is a 100% increase in step volume.
For some people, this is huge.
If you can’t ‘feel’ your calf working when you’re doing a calf raise, consider:
- Equal loading of your forefoot
- Heel height
- Knee straight
- Vertical movement
Then add in variables such as load, time under tension etc.
Sometimes people’s recovery rate is quick and I tend to ask detailed questions to see if there’s any learnings for me as a practitioner.
6 weeks post Syndesmosis injury, grade 2. Progressing to return to play rehabilitation.
Key to progress - high amounts of walking.
Big reinforcing takeaway from Andrew Wynd and Harvinder Bedi is to get the foot and ankle moving following lateral ankle or syndesmotic injuries.
Even if you need to fully offload in a boot, there’s still rehab that can be completed safely.
I’ve found the best outcomes for recovery from bone stress injuries for an athlete is using a multi-disciplinary approach.

- Dietician
- S&C coach
- Sporting coach
- Psychologist (if indicated)
Sometimes it’s just a ‘check in’, and that’s helpful.
I love using walking as a tool to build volume for people new or returning to running.
Load can be measured in steps.
Walking can increase step volume, without intensity.
Running will increase BOTH step volume and intensity.
Volume first, intensity second.

@BillingMartin We do chronically underload MSK conditions
Several reasons;
physios often do not understand S & C principles,
are unclear about the load that exercises place on structures and
for me the key thing is that they HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A GYM THEMSELVES
