Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints we see at LMH Optimal Therapy. Whether it's a dull ache after a long day at your desk, pain when reaching overhead, or discomfort that keeps returning after exercise, shoulder problems can have a significant impact on your daily life. The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, allowing us to lift, throw, reach and rotate with ease. However, this range of movement also makes it more vulnerable t

Whether you're training for your first Hyrox event, smashing CrossFit workouts, or following a functional fitness programme at your local gym, recovery is just as important as the training itself. These styles of training challenge your strength, endurance, mobility, and cardiovascular fitness all at once. While they deliver fantastic results, they also place significant demands on your muscles and joints. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we work with many Hyrox competitors, CrossFit

With Wimbledon starting from 29th June, many people might feel inspired to pick up a racket, return to the court, or play more regularly over the summer. Tennis is fast-paced, demanding, and great for fitness, but it also places repeated stress on the body. Serving, twisting, sprinting, lunging, and sudden changes of direction all require strength, mobility, coordination, and recovery. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we work with tennis players of all levels, from social players to c

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care and sports massage. While many people assume the problem is coming directly from their back, the root cause can often be found elsewhere - for example in the hips. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we frequently see patients with lower back pain that is linked to tight hips, reduced mobility, and prolonged periods of sitting. Understanding the connection between your hips and lower back could be the key to

Whether you're commuting to work, tackling mountain bike trails, or enjoying long weekend rides along the coast, cycling places unique demands on the body, and while it is often considered a low-impact sport, the repetitive nature of riding, combined with long periods in a fixed position, can create stiffness, muscular imbalances, and recurring aches and pains over time. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we work with cyclists of all abilities to help improve mobility, support recovery,

If you’ve ever experienced sharp pain in the bottom of your heel when getting out of bed in the morning, there’s a good chance plantar fasciitis could be the cause. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot and heel pain, affecting runners, gym-goers, people who stand for long periods at work, and even those who simply spend a lot of time on their feet day-to-day. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we regularly help patients manage foot pain and tightness through sports

Golf may not always look physically demanding, but anyone who plays regularly knows how much stress it can place on the body. From repetitive swinging and twisting to long hours walking the course, golf places significant strain on the spine, hips, shoulders, and lower back. Without good mobility and recovery, this can lead to stiffness, discomfort, reduced performance, and recurring injuries over time. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we regularly work with golfers looking to improve

Whether you cycle competitively, commute daily, or simply enjoy weekend rides, cycling places unique demands on the body. Long hours in a fixed riding position, repetitive movements, and strain through the spine, hips, and shoulders can all lead to tightness, discomfort, and reduced performance over time. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we regularly work with cyclists looking to improve mobility, reduce pain, recover more effectively, and keep their bodies functioning at their best.

If you’ve never visited a chiropractor before, one of the biggest questions you may have is: “How many appointments will I need?” The answer depends entirely on your body, lifestyle, symptoms, and goals. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we create personalised schedules of care designed to help you move from pain relief and recovery into long-term wellbeing and maintenance. Rather than offering a “quick fix,” our goal is to help patients achieve lasting improvements in movement, mobili

Whether you’re training for an event, dealing with tight muscles from work, or simply feeling stiff and achy, booking your first sports massage can feel a little intimidating if you don’t know what to expect. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we see clients from all walks of life, from runners and gym-goers to office workers and busy parents, and one of the most common things we hear is: “I wish I’d booked one sooner!” A sports massage is about far more than relaxation. It’s a targeted

Running is one of the most accessible and effective ways to stay fit. Whether you’re training for an event, building endurance, or simply enjoying getting outdoors, it’s a great way to support both your physical and mental health. However, with repetitive impact and increased training load, running can also put strain on your body - especially if recovery, technique, or mobility are overlooked. At LMH Optimal Therapy, we often see runners dealing with preventable injuries. Bu

Today marks World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2026, a global reminder of how important it is to create healthier, safer workplaces for everyone. When people think about workplace health and safety, they often think of hard hats, safety signs, or accident prevention. While these are essential, one of the most common workplace issues is often overlooked: musculoskeletal health. Back pain, neck tension, headaches, poor posture, and repetitive strain are incredibly common a

Whether you’re an active gym-goer, a weekend runner, or simply dealing with the physical demands of everyday life, your body goes through more stress than you might realise. Tight muscles, aches, and fatigue can build up over time, often without you noticing until something starts to feel “off.” At LMH Optimal Therapy, we offer sports massage and cupping therapy to help you recover, reset, and perform at your best - whatever your lifestyle looks like. What Is Sports Massage?

April marks Stress Awareness Month, a time dedicated to recognising the impact stress can have on our mental and physical wellbeing, and more importantly, what we can do about it. In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become a normal part of life for many people.

At LMH Optimal Therapy, we take a holistic approach to health

Each year, Nutrition and Hydration Week is a great reminder that looking after your body goes beyond what happens in the clinic. While chiropractic care focuses on improving movement, reducing tension, and supporting the nervous system, what you eat and drink plays an equally important role in how your body feels, functions, and recovers. When combined, chiropractic care and good nutrition and hydration habits can have a powerful impact on your overall wellbeing. Why Nutritio
