This week (16th - 22nd March 2026) is Nutrition and Hydration Week, a global initiative that highlights and educates on the importance of eating and drinking well on maintaining health and wellbeing.

On 8th March 2026, we celebrated International Women’s Day at Proactive Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic. Each of us at Proactive took the time to recognise the importance of the incredible women who play crucial roles in allowing the clinic to provide the high standard of care we pride ourselves on everyday.

13th March 2026 sees the World Sleep Society celebrate World Sleep Day. As an opportunity to promote the importance of sleep, the theme of this year is Sleep Well, Live Better.

The Tensor Facsiae Latae (TFL) is a muscle in the outer hip that is primarily used to stabilise the pelvis and knee during standing, walking and running.

Shockwave Therapy (ST) is a form of non-invasive treatment, typically used for tendon-related injuries. ST produces low frequency pressure waves that pass through the skin to the injured area of the body, most commonly the tendons. ST is mostly used when then tendon is painful or has reduced function.

Rest day is quite possibly the day we look forward to most in our training calendars, a day where we can give the gym a miss or put those trainers away. But when we talk about recovery, many instinctively think it just means “resting”. But modern thinking now points to rest alone not constituting recovery.

Desk workers are some of the most common people that we see day-to-day within clinic. Although their original complaint may not be the symptoms they present with, the large prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain complaints in desk-based workers should not be understated.

Running is one of the most accessible forms of exercise, all you really need is a pair of shoes and some pavement. And for so many people across Cardiff, from Bute Park joggers to the running clubs you’ll see along Cardiff Bay, it can boost physical health, mental wellbeing, stress relief and confidence.

Grip Strength can be described as a measure of upper limb strength. Essentially, the amount of force you can exert when you clench your hand around an object. It is an often-overlooked aspect of MSK health.

One mistake that we have seen people make is pushing themselves too hard too soon. Instead, we think of January as a reset month, focussing on rebuilding good habits and recognising that progression is better than chasing perfection.

So, to help ease you back in, below are some tips to get you going this January:

As we come to the end of 2025, we at Proactive Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic have taken time to look back at some of the things we have achieved and reflect on the hard work put in from the team this year.

As we reach the end of another year, we at Proactive Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic would like to take a moment to say Merry Christmas and a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful patients and partners for your support this year.

As we enter the heart of the winter months, many people may start to notice and increase in stiff and achy joints. Joint discomfort is common in colder temperatures, especially for those who already live with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as arthritis or previous, unrecovered injuries.

One of the most powerful tools we have to support healthy ageing is also the simplest: regular, good quality movement.

Decorating our homes for Christmas is an exciting time. It gives us a chance to transform spaces into festive grottos or Blackpool Tower. But we also need to be careful not to push ourselves too far and turning this Christmas into the Grinch’s dream.
