Best of luck to this Sunday in Croke Park!! It is going to be a brilliant day out, anyone that can travel please do!
Very excited to see this final after last weeks display in Limerick.

A very interesting article showing the importance of bone in even more functions of the body. They are not just solid sticks that muscles attach to, they are living and always involved. This opens the doors for many future studies to build on all thats been done here!

Bone, not adrenaline, drives fight or flight response When faced with a predator or sudden danger, the heart rate goes up, breathing becomes more rapid, and fuel in the form of glucose is pumped throughout the body to prepare an animal to fight or flee.

Moving one way in the gym and a totally different way outside of it is a strange paradox in the fitness and rehab industry. We are encouraged to do a ever growing number of things with focus while we lift heavy weights or while doing jumps, hops, landings and plyometrics to keep us "stable". We then head out the door and go back to our "normal" where we dont focus on each body part, we couldn't if we tried anyway. If we only practice rigidly in a way that doesnt reflect how we move through our day and the demands it imposes on our bodies then we are missing out on how incredibly adaptable the body is to new stimulus and challenge!!!! The more you try new things the less new things will try you!

Lovely post by about the importance of pushing into new spaces with our bodies and teaching ourselves to overcome fears surrounding specific ranges of movement, which are often associated with a painful area. By trying new things or retraining what has been lost over time, we are gaining understanding of what we are capable of instead of assuming. With more practice we gain more confidence and competence in the novel movements and they are integrated into our lives. Our brain needs to be conditioned to not see random movements or deviations from the norm as a danger but to be as comfortable as anything else we do. Comfort with variation is very important for all of our bodies.

Great handstand workshop with yesterday! We learnt a lot of simple drills and tips to make balancing the wrong way up a little easier. It's safe to say I am broke up after it 😂😂 makes you realise how much learning went into doing so on our feet for the first time all those years ago

This is as simple as it gets for the majority of people with minor injuries and many others with chronic pain not based on an injury event. If it wasnt broken, you dont need to fix it. Just fu***ng move it and believe in your body, it got you this far and hasn't stopped. If it needs help getting back to itself, help it by loading it and moving those cranky areas.

A funny comic version but so true about us. The pains we feel around our bodies arent just tissue feeling pain or being damaged. They are very often multifaceted situations involving emotional elements and cant be so easily explained. It is important to consider this especially if you suffer from chronic pain. Fear of movement and your beliefs can affect how you move your body or part of it. Every day we move in this way which may lead to the pain persisting as we never restore the movement/confidence we once had in that area. Be willing to explore all sides playing a part in your pain and safely address it to find lasting change as you would any other stressor in your life. Often when we move into the discomfort it can be exactly what's needed to overcome the problem, not move further away from it and have it exert control over us.
