Muscle Strains

Muscle strains come under the umbrella term ‘soft tissue injury.’
Muscle strains come under the umbrella term ‘soft  tissue injury.’ Other soft tissues also include tendons and ligaments. Muscle strains present as pain or injury to the muscle belly itself, often through a specific incident, such as, sprinting for the bus. There are different grades of strain, which our physiotherapists can assess and advise.
Common strains that we see include, calf, hamstring and hip flexor strains.
Treatment is dependent on the time in relation to the injury. Initially, we may recommend relative rest to allow any inflammation and swelling to settle. But as soon as appropriate, we often recommend graded movement and exercise. Our initial focus may be about regaining movement, followed by building strength and then towards normal function. Massage may be recommended by your physiotherapist. Our plan will have your end goal in mind, right from the start.

Mike Noble

Nutritionist

Mike supports Moko Physiotherapy and our clients with Specialist Nutrition Advice. He offers 1:1 support, nutritional plans and educational talks at Moko Physiotherapy.

Starting out as a personal trainer in 2015, Mike’s career has always been geared towards connecting with people and helping them understand how they can better their health. He studied nutrition in 2019 and from there his mission was clear: to empower people to live their best lives through the power of food and fitness.

Since then, he’s been amazed at the difference a natural approach to food and lifestyle can make, helping people increase their energy, cure their skin condition and even fall pregnant.

Mike works with clients struggling with conditions from PCOS and menopause to chronic stress or IBD, who feel they have tried everything, but achieved nothing. Whatever it is you’re struggling with, Mike can work with you to help you get the results you need, all through simple lifestyle changes.

Mike is happy to see you for nutritional support in house at Moko Physiotherapy, online or also offers personal training from his private 1:1 studio in Chester Green.

How does the process work?

1) Discovery call:

You’ll start with an initial chat to find out where you’re at currently, what you want to achieve and how Mike can support you.

Step 2) Send out health questionnaire

When you decide to go ahead, you’ll receive an in depth health questionnaire to find out everything Mike needs to know.

Step 3) Create your personalised plan

Once Mike has a full picture of your health and current situation, he’ll start working on your personalised wellness plan.

What’s included in the personalised wellness plan?

– Summary of your current health/ condition
– Written justifications for all foods & supplements included in your plan
– Full 7 day meal plan
– Recipes
– Shopping lists
– Nutritional information (kcals/fats/protein/ vitamins & minerals)
– Supplement recommendations

Step 4) Get Started

You’ll start the first few weeks of your wellness plan, before a 1:1 catch up again to see how you’re getting on.

At this point, Mike will make some changes and then catch up again in another few weeks. By the third session, we’d expect to be seeing some positive changes.
