Interesting Myofascial Trigger Point Quote

For all of those who are into exercise(like we are too) you may want to consider the following quote……

“You cannot strengthen a muscle that has a trigger point, because the muscle is already physiologically contracted. Too many physical therapists see a weakened muscle and immediately attempt to strengthen it without testing for the presence of trigger points. Attempts at strengthening a muscle with trigger points will only cause the trigger points to worsen…”

Sunday morning cross country run/walk.

The Sunday morning run starts up again on 24th March each week from Shelley beach.
This is a fantastic winter weekly event to take part in. The run is a very social, friendly affair with runners of all levels and ages from very small children to over 70’s. Generally between 100 and 150 people participate each week. There are 1km, 3km and 6km distances with minimal man-made surfaces included.

From now on the run will begin at 9am. All you need is to turn up.

Hope to see you there.
