TOM'S STORY

 

"Back in September 2018, I was playing the first game of the season for Sheffield Medicals RUFC having played rugby for over 10 years without suffering a serious injury. The weather that day was typical Yorkshire conditions… Five minutes into the 2nd half I was sidestepping off my left leg when suddenly my knee buckled under my body but the rest of me kept moving and I heard a rather alarming popping sound!

Four months after the injury I had an MRI scan which diagnosed me with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and was booked in for surgical reconstruction.The ACL is an important stabilising ligament found in the knee. Injury to the ACL is common amongst young people playing sport. Making up 40% of sports injuries (NHS, 2018). Prior to surgery, so-called ‘pre-habilitation’ is very important for building up muscle strength, maintaining range of motion and reducing swelling.

I found it very difficult to motivate myself to complete the ‘pre-habilitation’ as in the back of my mind, I was always going to lose the strength following surgery but now I’ve been through it, I would recommend to anyone in a similar position to take prehab seriously given the post-operative benefits it can have. 

Skip forward to May 2019, 9 months after the original injury, and I have just had a surgical ACL reconstruction using my hamstring tendon to replace the faulty ligament. The operation went well and following an overnight stay in hospital I was discharged home to start the long process of rehabilitation.  My ultimate aim is to return to playing rugby again, which will take around 9-12 months of rehabilitation. This is a daunting figure for anyone who has just a surgical procedure, but it is important to break down the rehab into manageable chunks.

I know that I’m not going to be able to go back to playing contact sport straight away, but my main focus currently is regaining strength and stability around the knee joint. Being only 7 weeks post-op, exercises are very basic at the moment, but I am looking forward to progressing to the next stage, which will be to return to running. I know that playing rugby again is a long way off, but each small milestone achieved is a step in the right direction." 

 

DARREN'S JOURNEY

Darren was diagnosed with a rare liver condition secondary to Crohn’s disease and at Christmas 2016 became so ill that he needed a life-saving liver transplant. For transplant athletes, staying healthy and fit is key to a successful life.

Darren has been working hard to improve his fitness and strength and to prevent any injuries stopping his journey. He has since regained his fitness and returned to the sport he loves, swimming Representing his transplant hospital, QEHB, Birmingham, Darren raced in the British Transplant Games held in Newport, Wales in July in all distances of freestyle and to his delight became British age group Champion in the 200m event achieving Gold in his race.

However, this was just the warm-up for the main event this year as Darren then went on to compete in the World Transplant Games in Newcastle representing Team GB&NI.

An incredible week started with the opening ceremony parade of athletes from all around the world and 60 countries parading through the streets of Newcastle to a hero’s welcome as the games got underway on the 17th August.

The main competitions then began, lasting all week and Darren was delighted to achieve a new world ranking of 5th for his 200m event. More personal best times and top 10 rankings followed alongside a lifetime of memories shared with his family who were all able to watch and cheer. Darren would like to thank sincerely everyone who has supported him in any way this year – from his Physiotherapist, Dale, his swim coach, to friends and family – he couldn’t have done it without you all.

Now he is back home, training has resumed as Darren starts his quest to become European champion at the next games to be held in Dublin, and the British Games in Coventry (which will be the qualifier for the 2021 World Games in Houston Texas) next summer.

MARTINA'S STORY

Martina was suffering from bad back pain which was very painful. She had to take a year out of work, she couldn’t walk, She couldn’t climb up the stairs. Life was pretty grim. Through her GP and the NHS they looked at the possibility of operations and carried out root nerve injections but nothing seemed to work and Martina wanted to avoid surgery.

Her partner searched for pain relief and he bought a Treatment Book which mentioned the McKenzie Method. They then searched for someone who did the McKenzie Technique and found The Markland Clinic.

This is when Martina started her journey to becoming pain-free!

After a consultation with our founder & Specialist Physiotherapist Kate Markland, Martina was told that it was possible to avoid surgery. This was her aim. She didn’t want to go under the knife at any cost.

After treatment Martina has been able to work and living a normal pain-free life! Now she is also back to exercising and last year she did a 100k walk for charity.

Simply amazing! Hopefully, Martina’s story shows that anything is possible.

BEA KENNY

Bea is a county and regional swimmer who hurt her knee when doing land training.

Despite the intense pain, Bea was able to tolerate a full assessment which determined that Bea had unfortunately damaged her medial collateral ligament.

At first, Bea’s knee was extremely painful to move with lots of swelling.

However, Bea’s hard-working attitude and supportive parents guided Bea through the treatment programme that was tailored for her return to swimming.

Within 5 weeks Bea was back in the pool and overcame a huge psychological hurdle to start competing again!

At the Open Meet, Bea was able to return to her winning ways picking up gold in 100m freestyle and silver in 200m backstroke!

Bea is still working hard with Dale to improve her strength, plyometric ability and power ready for future competitions.

We wish Bea all the best for regionals and hope she continues to swim all the way to the Olympics!!

AN ANONYMOUS ACHILLES

"I sustained a very sore Achilles tendon injury from playing badminton.  My leg was extremely sore and I had difficulty walking.  I was referred to a physio via my GP following examination confirmation of Achilles tendinopathy. 

The treatment I received seemed very limited and improvement was very slow.  Due to this a large degree of frustration and discomfort, it guided me to seek alternative physiotherapy advice. This lead me to The Markland Clinic.  I received what I can only describe as a detailed assessment identifying the exact location of my discomfort and problem.

 I was given exercises which were linked to everyday activities and whenever I brushed my teeth I also exercised my Achilles tendon by heal raises.   

I have a busy lifestyle and struggled to integrate extra activities and therefore linking it to something I already to do played a huge role in my improvement. This along with some further treatment sped my recovery up and I have since returned to normal day to day life.  I am now able to enjoy my badminton and walk my dogs without having to worry about the pain."

WELL DONE JAMES!

Client James Fenton recently took on the Double Marathon – Race to the Tower. The run is a 52.4-mile double marathon through the heart of the idyllic Cotswolds. Unrelentingly beautiful. Unforgettably challenging!  James managed to complete the course in an impressive time of 12h 41m averaging 14 min per mile. 

James was running the race to raise funds and awareness of the Cobalt Charity. The charity is close to James’ heart as his wife went through breast cancer and the charity was an amazing source of help and support.

 

 

"Not looking after myself nearly cost me my running!" 

"I love the endorphins rushing through my body when I go for a run!

It makes my soul complete and yep pretty much it makes me feel good. I find all my solutions to all my problems when I’m out running and find clarity in everything I do, and it helps me create!!  For quite some time when I was injured on and off for around 18 months because I had a bad habit of not looking after myself by stretching and combining resistance training. I was always tending to the MOT of my body last. As a runner I was pretty lame if I’m being honest at stretching, giving it a rest from time to time to recover. Instead, it was ‘burn baby burn’ trying to get faster and faster. Not much stretching or resistance training and certainly sparingly going to the physio when it REALLY was needed. Looking back, I NEEDED TO have that cycle of repair, rest and treatment.

It hit me hard when I discovered that I had a borderline rupture on my calf muscle and was unable to go running, cycling or do any type of hardcore exercise that us sports addicts would call “the HIGH”.  I got low and was in a dark space for some time and I really had to go back to basics and learn from my mistakes of not looking after my body.  Because you see it’s a lifelong thing, not just a one-hit wonder to look after your body. To use injury prevention techniques, stretch and make ourselves stronger to the core so we can be more efficient at what we love to do and to prevent us from going down that path to that dark place of physical and mental injury.

We have to consciously think about the long-term effect and how it will make us feel incorporating these positive habits and practices into the long-term gains of our sport, health and mental well-being. There is an enormous difference between what people know and what they do when it comes to incorporating better habits into their fitness regime. They know they should do but aren’t doing.

All of us athletes sometimes do things we shouldn’t do, get results we do not want and we still do it anyway. When you understand this, it will become obvious that all elite athletes are not successful primarily because of what they know but what they do.

When you focus on your habitual behaviour, on whether you are stretching, using resistance training and sticking to your training plan, you will start to understand why you’re doing what you’re doing and everything will start to change, from your injury prevention to your results!!

DOUBLE KNEE SURGERY

This story focuses on the journey of a patient that was struggling with progressive arthritis. They had a double knee replacement planned which is uncommon as most people choose to have any replacements done at separate times from each other.

As an individual that had always been highly into sports – Rugby, Cricket and skiing etc the patient was always someone that had been extremely physically fit and strong which made me very optimistic about his progress once he had had his knee replacements.

Directly after the surgery, the patient was experiencing a large amount of stiffness and swelling which is completely normal for surgery of such magnitude. This is why if any of my patients ask about knee replacements or consider having one, I always tell them to expect a lot of work at first if they want to reap the benefits later on.

Thankfully this patient had the perfect example of a mix of persistence, motivation and patience, meaning that by the start of the second month of treatment the majority of swelling, pain and irritation had subsided. This allowed us to focus more on strengthening to achieve his main two goals of skiing and playing cricket again.

The patient again made great progress with strengthening all the muscles that had to be altered to fit the replacements by incorporating all the exercises given to him into his daily routine. This allowed him to make great progress on the strength that he possessed prior to the surgery.

From this point, we started to focus on preparing his knees to take the load of skiing for a day, diligent training and effort allowed the patient to achieve his goal of skiing again with only 3 months of therapy. He managed to ski 6 days out of 7, allowing him to spend more time with his family doing what he loves.

Furthermore, he is now back playing cricket, weather permitting.

To maintain muscle mass and strength helps in every walk of life, be it recovering from an operation or having fun with friends and family. Bringing to mind the phrase move it or lose it!

ANN J.

"Following our initial enquiry about the services the Clinic offered, we found their prompt response very helpful. My recuperation from knee replacement surgery has been helped enormously by their professional guidance and encouragement, and I am hopeful of making a good recovery."
