Plank Variations | Brighton Chiropractor

Plank Variations | Brighton Chiropractor Matt Bateman shows you how to do variations of the common plank that wont cause of exacerbate any back pain

People with history of back pain may not benefit from the stand high or elbow plank because at some point the back will arch. If this happens then pressure can build on the low back joints or discs and this can cause more pain

Moving the leg in these positions can avoid dropping the back into an arch but also activate a short weak psoas which is always a key aggravation to back pain

Shockwave Therapy Brighton | Tennis Elbow

Shockwave Therapy Brighton | Tennis Elbow | Brighton Chiropractor Matt Bateman shows you simple techniques how to treat and avoid tennis elbow

Tennis Elbow is a irritation or inflamation of the tendon that attached the forearm muscles into the bone of the Raduis bone in the elbow. We normally advise regular methods of treatment including strapping, stretching, icing and pain avoidance as well as strengtheing exercises as seen here https://ccsussex.co.uk/tennis-elbow-exercises-brighton-chiropractor/

However we also have NEW therapies which can help the especially chronic issues called Shockwave Therapy

We use a machine which pulses audible, low-energy sound waves, called shockwaves. These pass into the injured tissues which then cause blood vessels to open and increase blood flow to the injured area.

Most of the ligament and tendon issues listed above can become chronic because of the poor blood flow into those areas. This inhibits tissue regeneration and healing. Using Shockwave can speed up the bodies healing process and get you back into your activity asap

Shockwave therapy is often recomended now even by the NHS https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/tennis-elbow/treatment/ for these types of condidtions when they have become chronic
