Back to the gyms we go! 💥

If, like many, you are back to the gym today after too long a wait, here’s a few things to bear in mind :

Listen to your body. If you have been sedentary or less active for a while you don’t have to smash it on day one!

Get your nutrition right & plan to fuel your body for the energy it needs.

Get any niggles seen to straight away!

Have a plan & don’t just wander around from machine to machine.

If in doubt seek advice from a professional .

Enjoy!

It’s not only #worldhealthday it’s also Our sleep specialist, Dr Jim Brown’s birthday so what better way to mark the day than with a super simple yet effective sleep reminder.

Will you be waking up tomorrow morning feeling fresh, relaxed and ready? We all know that getting a good night sleep can deeply affect our mood so wake up happy tomorrow with Dr Jim Brown's sleeping hacks ⁠...
⁠
Routine ⁠
It is important to keep the circadian queues as regular as possible, and this involves keeping a regular bed and wake time. This schedule should be constant throughout the seven-day week. Catching up on sleep at the weekend – “social jet lag” – should be avoided. Having a bedtime routine should include a wind-down period. Some people find reading or relaxation techniques helpful. Write down tasks for the morning so that they are not playing on the mind at night. The bedroom should be dark, cool and without electronic devices including phones and TV. A warm shower helps because the subsequent drop in core temperature is a signal to the body that it is time to sleep.⁠ Good night!!

Our Respiratory clinic is back!

Already fully booked for face to face testing in April, Prof Dickinson continues to offer support to those with breathing difficulties online.

Prof. John Dickinson is an Exercise Respiratory Physiologist with a specialism in assessing exercise respiratory symptoms in athletes. He has tested over 1,000 elite athletes from a range of sports including all Olympic and many professional sports, such as rugby and Premier League football.

Why is respiratory disease and dysfunctional breathing an issue with athletes?

Over 20% of the athletes involved with Great British Olympic Team have exercise induced asthma

A number of athletes with exercise induced asthma go undiagnosed as they fail to report symptoms

Diagnosis significantly improves athletic performance and health

It is possible respiratory symptoms experienced during exercise are not related to asthma

The Respiratory Clinic provides a range of diagnostic tests for exercise induced asthma, including the Eucapnic Voluntary Hyperpnoea (EVH) challenge – considered by the World Anti – Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee to be the ‘gold standard’ challenge to diagnose exercise induced asthma in elite athletes.

And you don’t have to be an athlete to take advantage of this service. If you are struggling with breathing during exercise or recovering from COVID and wanting to be safe, drop us a line.
