About Wellington Sports Med
It is common for people to consciously change the way they walk, often trying to swivel their hips more or less, especially when in public. It is also common to suddenly change footwear, (e.g. start wearing high heels regularly for the first time) which changes the way the muscles in your legs are required to work. There is nothing wrong with trying to do this, but any changes in your walking style or footwear need to be made gradually so that your muscles and tendons have time to keep up with the change in load. A good way to think about this is in terms of exercising at the gym. If you’re going to start doing push-ups for the first time you might only be able to do five before your muscles are too tired to keep going. You wouldn’t then try to do five again the next day - your muscles would be sore and need a rest. If you tried to force yourself to do hard exercise on a tired muscle the muscle might tear, or you might do the movement in a way that injures something else. It would probably be a few days before you’d feel ready to do the push-ups again. During this time the muscles and tendons in your arms and shoulders would have recovered from the exercise and grown a bit stronger so they’re able to keep up better next time. When you change your walking style you change the demands placed on different muscles. If these changes occur too suddenly without enough rest and recovery time in between, it can lead to low back, hip, and knee injuries. The key is to make sure the change is gradual and that you try to have rest days where you go back to your previous walking style or shoe style for a while. This can be really hard to do sometimes, but just like with postural changes – do what you can, when you can.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've visited these guys on two separate occasions to help with running injuries. They "fixed me up" both times when I thought it was over. Don't hesitate to visit these guys, they're the real deal.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’ve been suffering from migraines on and off for decades, but recently they became chronic.
After having no success with a combination of chiropractics, regular massages, and changes in diet, I decided to try physiotherapy.
Sam has been instrumental in helping reduce the frequency and severity of my pain.
He is kind, personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.
He is always furthering his training, and is sincerely interested and invested, in helping his clients.
I completely trust Sam and WSM, and highly recommend them.
