🚨 | HERE WE GO 🔴⚪️

3 weeks ago I joined the Arsenal Academy in a part-time capacity and I’m loving every minute of it.

Beyond grateful for this opportunity. It is much more than a job, it is a dream come true.

Looking forward to learning and growing with this incredible team, one step at a time!

I had no clue you could get cramps in your Quads, now I know. We live, we learn. Life goes on.

The longer I work in sport, the more I’ve come to believe these 5 are massively underrated..

1️⃣ Sleep
It’s the most powerful recovery tool we have — and it’s free.
No amount of good programming makes up for consistently poor sleep.

2️⃣ Boring, repeated basics
Not the flashy stuff. The same squat pattern, the same mobility work, the same strength staples — done for years, not weeks. That’s what actually changes outcomes.

3️⃣ Honest conversations with athletes
Managing expectations early prevents bigger problems later.
Clarity builds trust faster than reassurance ever does.

4️⃣ Load management over load avoidance
Gradually exposing the body to stress is what builds resilience.
Protecting it forever just makes it fragile.

5️⃣ Self-awareness in athletes
Teaching someone to read their own body is more valuable long-term than any single session you give them.

None of these are exciting. All of them work.

What would you add to this list? 👇

University taught me anatomy, rehabilitation, and clinical reasoning.

It didn’t teach me enough about communication, empathy, and listening.

The longer I’ve worked as a physiotherapist, the more I’ve realised how important those skills really are.

Thoughts?

Runners, here’s a simple drill to improve coordination, hip control, and running mechanics.

More control → smoother stride → happier runs

Aim for 2 sets × 8 reps
Focus on control and intent with every rep!

Improve your ankle mobility, reduce stiffness, and unlock that deeper, stronger squat.

Simple mobility work. Big difference.

Rules I break as a physiotherapist:

1️⃣ I don’t just treat the injured area.
Recovery isn’t only about one joint or one muscle - it’s sleep, nutrition, stress, strength, and overall fitness. The whole person matters.

2️⃣ I don’t tell people to just rest.
Yes, rest has a role. But movement builds confidence, capacity, and control.

3️⃣ I don’t chase “pain-free” as the only goal.
I focus on building resilience so you can return to what you love doing.

4️⃣ I don’t rush return-to-play.
Timelines don’t matter if the foundation isn’t ready.

5️⃣ I don’t sell quick fixes.
Rehab is simple, consistent work done properly.

I started this journey wanting to help people move better and live better. For me, it’s not just about the 6-12 weeks of rehab. It’s about the habits, confidence, and changes that carry into everyday life and then stay with you longe-term.

If I can contribute something small that improves someone’s lifestyle or helps them feel stronger in their own body, that’s what matters. Because in the long run, everything counts!
