How to Help Total Knee Replacement Recovery
A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal assessment carried out by a women's health physiotherapist. It checks how your body has recovered after birth - your pelvic floor strength, abdominal muscle function, posture and any areas of pain or weakness that have been quietly building since delivery. Most women are told they're fine at their 6-week GP check. But a 10-minute appointment can't tell you whether your pelvic floor is actually working, whether your abdominals have fully reconnected, or whether the aches you're putting down to "just being a new mum" are something that needs attention. Maddy and Catriona offer the Mummy MOT at BOOST PHYSIO in Hampstead, Kensington and Elstree. Whether you're 6 weeks or 8 months postpartum - it's never too early or too late to know how you're really doing. 👇 Learn more here https://boostphysio.com/private-physiotherapy-treatments-nearby/mummy-mot/ #shorts
What is MUMMY MOT?
Nobody tells you how much your body changes after having a baby. 🤱 Leaking when you sneeze. Heaviness or pressure you can't explain. Pain during exercise - or just getting through the day. These things are common. But they're not something you just have to live with. Your pelvic floor supports your bladder, bowel and uterus. Pregnancy and birth - whether vaginal or by C-section - place enormous demand on those muscles. Without the right rehabilitation, problems can persist for months or years. Catriona is our women's health physiotherapist at BOOST PHYSIO Elstree. She assesses and treats pelvic floor dysfunction with the same clinical rigour we apply to every other part of the body - because your recovery after birth deserves proper attention, not just a leaflet and a list of generic exercises. You don't need a GP referral. You don't need to wait. 👇 Book a same-day appointment with Catriona at BOOST PHYSIO Elstree. Link in bio. #shorts
Specialist Physio for pelvic floor issues (like leaking) after having a baby
Your shoulders take a lot - and most people never train them properly. 💪 These 2 resistance band exercises target the muscles that protect your shoulder joint and keep pain away long term. Banded External Rotation - strengthens your rotator cuff, the group of muscles most likely to cause problems when weak or tight. Band Pull-Apart - activates your scapula stabilisers, the muscles between your shoulder blades that most gym programmes miss entirely. Both are low load, high control and used by our physios in clinic every day. If your shoulder is already painful, clicking or limiting what you can do - these alone won't fix it.

Physio Approved Exercises with resistance band to help shoulder injury recovery
Sprained your ankle? Here's what most people get wrong 👇 Resting completely might feel like the right move - but in the early weeks after an ankle sprain, gentle movement is actually your best friend. Early mobility helps reduce swelling, restore range of movement and get you back on your feet faster. The key is knowing what to do and when. In this reel, our physio walks you through the simple exercises we recommend in those first few weeks - safe, effective and easy to do at home. ✅ Gentle ankle circles ✅ Alphabet tracing with your foot ✅ Towel stretch for the Achilles and calf ✅ Early weight-bearing as tolerated Movement - done correctly - promotes healing. If you're unsure how bad your sprain is, or your pain isn't improving after a few days, it's worth getting assessed. Our physiotherapists will confirm the grade of injury and build a rehab plan around your recovery goals. 📍 BOOST PHYSIO clinics across London & Hertfordshire - same-day appointments available. #shorts
Physio exercises for ankle sprain in first few days
Just had a total knee replacement? The first 2 weeks are everything. 🦵 The exercises your physio gives you in those early days aren't just "gentle movement" - they're doing serious work. Here's what's actually happening when you do them: ✅ Reducing swelling - early movement helps your lymphatic system clear the post-surgical fluid that causes stiffness and pain. ✅ Preventing blood clots - ankle pumps and gentle knee movements keep circulation moving. This is medically important, not optional. ✅ Waking up your quad - your quadriceps essentially "switch off" after surgery. These exercises start reconnecting the signals between your brain and your new knee. ✅ Regaining mobility - every degree of movement you gain in bending and extending your knee now makes the weeks ahead easier. Starting early protects your long-term range of motion. The patients who commit to this early stage consistently recover faster and more fully. It's not about pushing hard - it's about being consistent. At BOOST PHYSIO we guide you through every phase of your TKR recovery, from day one onwards. Same-day physiotherapy appointments available near me across our clinics in Hendon, Borehamwood, East Finchley, Swiss Cottage and across London & Hertfordshire. 📍 Whether you've recently had surgery or you're preparing for it, expert support makes all the difference. https://boostphysio.com/knee-physiotherapy-experts/ #shorts
First 2 weeks after Total Knee Replacement Surgery- essential physiotherapy exercises
Shoulder pain might be coming from weakness around your shoulder blade stabilising muscles. One of the most common things we find causing or contributing to shoulder pain, is that the muscles supporting the shoulder blade simply aren't doing their job properly. When those scapula stabilising muscles are weak, the whole shoulder girdle does not function optimimally. That creates tension, irritation and pain that can keeps coming back - no matter how much you rest it. The good news? The right targeted exercise can make a huge difference. Here, Setareh - one of our physiotherapists at BOOST PHYSIO Swiss Cottage - is showing a simple but highly effective movement that helps retrain those stabilising muscles around the shoulder blade and rotator cuff. It's not about lifting heavy. It's about restoring control, reducing strain and giving your shoulder the support it actually needs to recover properly. 💪 If shoulder pain is limiting what you can do - whether that's sport, work or just getting comfortable at night - this is exactly the kind of personalised physio care we deliver every day. 📍 Expert same-day private physiotherapy near you at BOOST PHYSIO Swiss Cottage and across our 10 clinics in London & Hertfordshire. https://boostphysio.com/physio-for-shoulder-pain/ #shorts

Your back is talking to you. Are you listening? 🙌 Stiffness, aching, that tight feeling that builds through the day - it's your body telling you it needs more movement, not less. The good news? A few targeted stretches can make a real difference. Our physiotherapist Katy, based at our East Finchley clinic, demos 4 back stretches she regularly recommends to patients. Here's what regular back stretching can do for you 👇 ✅ Reduce muscle tension and morning stiffness ✅ Improve flexibility and range of movement ✅ Take pressure off the joints and discs ✅ Support better posture throughout the day ✅ Help prevent pain from returning Whether you're desk-bound, on your feet all day, or just fed up with nagging back pain - this one's for you. 🔖 Save this reel so you can come back to it. If your back pain isn't shifting with stretching alone, it's worth getting a proper assessment. Our team can identify what's really going on and build a plan to get you back to doing what you love. https://boostphysio.com/back-pain-treatment-options/ #shorts

Why your rehab exercises need to get harder over time 💪 If you keep doing the same exercises, with the same weights and repetitions, week after week- you are missing out on the essential aspect of progressive overload. Your body adapts. And once it adapts, it stops getting stronger. That's where progressive overload comes in. It simply means gradually increasing the challenge placed on your muscles and tissues during rehab after surgery or injury. You can add more resistance, more reps, or more complex movement patterns. Here's why it matters 👇 ✅ Healing tissue needs increasing load to rebuild properly ✅ Muscles only grow stronger when they're challenged beyond their current level ✅ Without progression, you plateau — and injuries are more likely to return Done correctly, progressive overload is one of the most powerful tools in physiotherapy. It's not about pushing through pain, it's about smart, structured progression guided by your physio. Abbi, at our Mill Hill and Borehamwood physio clinics, works with patients every day to make sure their rehab is always moving forward- not just going through the motions. If your recovery feels stuck, it might be time for a fresh pair of expert eyes 👁️ Expert same-day private physiotherapy near you at BOOST PHYSIO's clinics across London & Hertfordshire. https://boostphysio.com/abbiher-banfield/ #shorts
