Ankle affecting your squatting? How to assess your ankle mobility.
Hamstring injuries don’t recover with rest alone. Early, well-chosen loading is key to restoring strength, confidence, and function. In this reel we demonstrate three bridge variations we commonly use in the early stage of hamstring rehabilitation: • Bridge hold – re-engages the hamstring safely without excessive strain • Single-leg bridge – introduces controlled load and side-to-side balance • Bridge march – challenges stability and prepares for dynamic movement Why these matter: • Helps restore hamstring activation after injury • Builds strength without aggravating symptoms • Lays the foundation for running, sport, and higher-level rehab The right exercise, at the right time, makes all the difference. If you’ve strained your hamstring or feel unsure about when to progress, getting expert guidance early can shorten recovery and reduce re-injury risk.

Neck and Shoulder Pain Physiotherapy Treatment in NW London
Diaphragmatic breathing is one of the simplest — and most underused — tools for reducing pain, tension and stress. When we’re busy, stressed or in pain, breathing often becomes shallow and upper-chest dominant. This keeps the nervous system in a heightened state, which can increase muscle tension and amplify pain signals. Learning how to breathe properly can make a real difference. Diaphragmatic breathing can help to: Reduce neck, shoulder and jaw tension Calm the nervous system Improve pain sensitivity and recovery Support better posture and movement Improve sleep and stress resilience It’s not about “deep breathing” — it’s about efficient breathing that restores balance between your body and nervous system. In this reel, our physiotherapists show you how to practise diaphragmatic breathing correctly and safely, so you can use it: During flare-ups At your desk Before sleep Alongside rehabilitation for pain or injury Breathing won’t replace treatment — but when used correctly, it can significantly support recovery.

Many of our patients ask us whether squatting is safe after a Total Knee Replacement — and when they can start. We recommend mini-squats from approximately week 2 after Total Knee Replacement surgery to aid the recovery of the quadriceps muscles. This video demonstrates our patient 10 days after her total knee replacement operation confidently doing mini-squats. 🔹 We love using mini-squats from around 2 weeks post-op to help our patients. These small, controlled movements help re-activate the quads, improve confidence, and support early function. 🔹 Depth increases slowly and gradually. As strength, swelling and mobility improve, we guide you into deeper squats at the right stage for your recovery. 🔹 Pain should guide, not stop, progress. Mild tightness or effort is normal; sharp pain is not. 🔹 Technique matters. Good alignment and controlled movement are more important than depth early on. Our physios help you rebuild strength safely, improve mobility, and return to everyday movements — including squatting — at the right pace.

Can I Squat after total knee replacement surgery? When can I squat after TKR?
After a toal knee replacement #TKR operation, the quadriceps muscles at the front of the knee “switch off” because of swelling, pain and the trauma of surgery. This makes it harder to straighten the knee fully or walk with confidence. In this video, our patient who is 10 days post-op TKR demonstrates the essential seated knee-extension exercise — one of the most important early steps we recommend after TKR surgery recovery. This knee extension exercise helps to: ✅ wake the muscle back up ✅ improve knee straightening ✅ helps you walk better ✅ recovers full straightening of the knee (extension) Doing this little and often in the early stages makes a meaningful difference to recovery speed and strength.
