: LeJogLe

Impact Physio are proud to have been supporting Martin Cox over the past seven months while he has been preparing for the “LeJogLe” challenge.

Lands-end to John O’Groats and Back!

1,800 Miles. 10 Days. 180 miles PER DAY!

Martin approached us at the beginning of his challenge when he first realised that as a self confessed novice to these kind of adventures he would need some expert advice and support to keep himself fit and injury free to complete such a task.

Martin has been gradually increasing his fitness and preparing for the challenge during the last seven months, we have been supporting him with Physiotherapy, Pilates, Sports Massage and a Cycling Sports Specific MOT – with the aim of not only treating any issues which are inevitable with such a challenge but preventing them too.

This is the final week of high volume preparation, before the challenge begins……

Departing Lands-end on May 21st 2012 and with 10,000 miles of training behind him, it is truly an epic task.

Martin has choosen 7 amazing causes/charities throughout the UK and US for which he completes this challenge.

We’re getting excited at Impact, we open our new Pilates Studio on Monday!

Not only has Louise been working her brain hard, but trying out all the exercises as she goes! Some excited quotes from Louise…

“I can feel every muscle – The Core Align is amazing – if this is the beginners course!!……”

“I’ve just met Lolita San Miguel – she trained with Joseph Pilates!”

After a cold start at this year’s race, the sun came out and gave ideal running conditions. The Impact Team were kept busy before and after the race assessing and giving advice regarding typical running injuries. We also had a team inside supporting the Cooper Parry Business Team Challenge, so had a great view of the stadium including the first runner and everyone that followed!

Well done to all those who took part, don’t forget to come and see us if you have any injury concerns – £5 OFF your first appointment with your race number.

Yoga

rachelroyer — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:34:25 +0000

: Impact Physio’s trying out a Yoga class……..

At Impact today we decided to enjoy our own personalised Yoga class, instead of our usual weekly update of whats happening in the medical world, we decided to focus on our own bodies and different ways of strengthening and lengthening the bits that need it most! No doubt we will feel those bits that haven’t worked for a while tomorrow!

We are all guilty of putting ourselves last, but the New Year is a good time to make a few changes, so here we are lengthening the hammies using the art of Yoga to specifically target problem areas.

If you need to focus on specific tight areas or want to strengthen and improve control in your body then why not join us. Currently Yoga classes run Friday lunchtime, or 1:1 sessions Friday morning or afternoon. Yoga is taught at Impact by Jo Keegan, a qualified Physiotherapist.

New Year : New You?

rachelroyer — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:54:02 +0000

New Year - New You?

Happy New Year! – Did you make any resolutions? Are they still happening? Have you made plans to do anything special? In this the olympic year, I wonder if there are more health and sport related goals?

At Impact we have added more beginners classes to our Pilates programme, added Yoga by Physio’s and more recently; screening in a more specific format, with the aim of having a structured assessment leading to a specific list of areas to work on to achieve those goals that we often have.

The pilates courses start again next week, we only have a few spaces left in the intermediate levels throughout the week (see the timetable for details), just three remaining beginners spaces in our friday 11.15 class, and two spaces in our sports performance class on a saturday at 9am.

So if you are concerned that your New Years resolutions might be hampered by injury/performance then why not join our exercise classes and make sure that its not something that can be sorted that lets you down.

The East Midlands Baby & Toddler Show

rachelroyer — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 10:28:33 +0000

: Impact Physio’s ante and post natal exercise classes are launched

It was great to meet so many mum’s and mum’s to be at the show – we had great fun challenging you with our BOSU ball; testing out stability, and discussing a range of pregnancy related issues.

We’ve now extended our classes to include evening and weekend sessions to accomodate both working mum’s & mum’s to be and those who depend on partners/friends/family for childcare.

We have extended our show offer of £50 for the first course into the new year, as a recession buster! We believe we offer a valuable addition to the many excellent groups that are out there already which focus mainly on the new addition to your family.

We believe that you are important too, and if you are fit and healthy, then you will enjoy this special time even more.
