Patient review after physiotherapy with Rebecca at BOOST PHYSIO in Hampstead Garden Suburb NW11
That shooting pain down your leg? It could be your sciatic nerve - and these 3 moves might be exactly what you need. 👇 Setareh, one of our physiotherapists at BOOST PHYSIO Swiss Cottage, demonstrates 3 exercises to help take the pressure off the sciatic nerve- which is often irritated by a bulging / slipped disc. Our physios find these 3 moves can be very important and helpful in relieving sciatica related pain. Sciatica isn't just back pain. It's the numbness, the tingling, the pain that travels all the way down your leg. The right exercises at the right time can make a real difference - but knowing which exercises matter. 👉 boostphysio.com/slipped-disc/ 📍 Same-day assessment available at BOOST PHYSIO clinics across London & Hertfordshire. #sciatica #backpain #sciaticarelief #slippeddisc #physiotherapy #shorts
Three Physio recommended Exercises to help relieve Sciatica pain travelling down the leg
Most people think ACL rehab is all about building strength 💪 - but the first two weeks? They're about something more fundamental. Getting full knee extension and waking your quads back up after ACL reconstruction isn't optional. It's one of the first post-op milestones. Here's why it matters so much, so early 👇 After surgery, your quadriceps muscles tend to be "switched off" as a response to swelling and pain. Left unaddressed, it creates a pattern that becomes harder and harder to break. Failing to regain full knee extension in those first weeks can slow and impede your recovery. Get it right early, and you set yourself up for a smoother, faster recovery back to the sport or activity you love. ✅ In this reel, Annie our physio in our Hampstead clinic shows you 3 key exercises to focus on in weeks 1 and 2: These exercises protect your graft, restore normal movement patterns and give your rehab the best possible start. ACL recovery done right starts on day one. If you've had ACL surgery - or you're preparing for it - our physios can guide you through every stage of your recovery, from day one to return to sport.

Physiotherapy after Achilles Tendon Repair Surgery
If you're waking up every morning with stabbing heel pain, these are the stretches your If you're waking up every morning with stabbing heel pain, these are the stretches your physiotherapist wants you to do before you even take your first step. In this video, Catriona from Boost Physio demonstrates effective stretches for plantar fasciitis - shown exactly as we teach them in clinic. No equipment needed. Do these daily and most patients feel a meaningful difference within 2 to 4 weeks. 🦶 WHY THESE STRETCHES WORK The plantar fascia shortens overnight as you sleep. Those first painful steps in the morning happen because the tissue is suddenly stretched before it has had a chance to warm up. These stretches work in two ways: 1. They lengthen the plantar fascia and calf muscles, reducing the tension transmitted to the heel with every step. 2. They prepare the tissue before loading - which is why doing them before you get out of bed is one of the single most effective things you can do. Tight calf muscles - both the gastrocnemius (the large upper calf) and the soleus (the deeper lower calf) - are one of the most common and overlooked drivers of plantar fasciitis. Both need to be stretched independently. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DO THESE? Morning (before first step): Plantar fascia stretch - every single day Morning and evening: Both calf stretches - twice daily After activity or long periods of standing: Frozen bottle rolling as needed Most patients see meaningful improvement within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent daily stretching. Stretching alone is often not enough for established or chronic cases - see below. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏥 WHEN STRETCHING ISN'T ENOUGH Stretching is an essential foundation - but for many patients it needs to be combined with: ✔ Hands-on physiotherapy (soft tissue work, joint mobilisation) ✔ A progressive strengthening programme for the foot and calf ✔ Therapeutic taping to offload the fascia during the day ✔ Footwear and load management advice ✔ Shockwave therapy (ESWT) for persistent or chronic cases 👉 Watch our full plantar fasciitis explainer videos. If your heel pain has been present for more than 2 to 3 weeks, or is not improving with self-management, we strongly recommend booking an assessment with one of our physiotherapists. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏥 ABOUT BOOST PHYSIO Boost Physio is a specialist private physiotherapy group with 10 clinics across North and North-West London and Hertfordshire.
