Congratulations to Rafa Nadal for winning the 2017 US Open. This is his 16th Grand Slam title and more to come. Enhorabuena Campeón!

Well done Garbiñe Muguruza! Proud of the Spanish champion of Wimbledon.

The pain occurs in the medial side of the elbow and golfing is one of many sports that can cause this type of injury in the flexor tendons of the forearm.

The best way to recover from this injury is to follow a combination of the following:

1. Rest and stop the activity that caused the injury for a few weeks.

2. Use a compression strap to reduce some of the tension and protect the tendon if you have to play a sport like golf.

3. Stretch to aid the healing process:

Palm flat on a flat surface with hand rotated 180 degrees backwards, lean backwards to stretch the flexors.

​4. And gradually start strengthening exercises. Always stop if they are causing pain.

Congratulations to Feliciano Lopez. Looking forward to Wimbledon. Vamos!!

Very proud of my compatriot wining his 10th French Open title.
Nadal performed to the best of his ability and didn't lose a set in the whole tournament. Enhorabuena Nadal!

Please join me welcoming my new sports massage assistant, Bones, to Woking Massage Studio.

​Bones comes highly recommended and he has had a hard and long career.

​For many years ice was commonly used to treat soft tissue injuries to aid the recovery process but this has been recently questioned as there is no evidence that ice helps with injury recovery but quite the opposite, it may delay the healing process.

​Below is an interesting article from the person who created the term "RICE", Dr Gabe Mirkin who explains that cryotherapy may actually prolong recovery.
