Glute Stretch
One of our favorite stretches to prescribe in the clinic , tight hips can cause both hip and back pain , if you find yourself seated for long periods ie driving or sitting at a desk it is important to get moving and stretch out the hips

• hold for 20 seconds
• repeat 4-5 times on both sides

Gluteal-strengthening exercises are widely used fro improving running performance. However, as running occurs primarily in the sagittal plane, such strength exercises have focused on the gluteus maximus and its role in producing ground reaction forces as a hip extensor. Meanwhile, strength deficits in the lateral gluteal muscles, the medius and minimus, are common among runners. This infographic highlights a study that explores the role of the lateral gluteal muscles and its impact on runners.

Shoulder Pain

shoulder pain is something we see regularly in the clinic, the most common cause is impingement or damage to the "rotator cuff" which are a group of 4 muscles in the shoulder ! They help to raise the arm overhead and bring the arm away from the body !

Common complaints can be
1 Difficulty lifting your arm overhead
2 Pain at night
3 Pain lying on the shoulder
4 Weakness in the shoulder
5 Shoulder 'catching"

Causes can be a fall or bang or sometimes it can happen for no reason with symptoms getting worse over a number of weeks or months !!

We try help you get back on track through a stretching and strengthening programme !!

Great win this evening from a really talented bunch of players ! Great to be involved ,Waterford next week !!
