SR Sports Therapy We are a musculoskeletal injury service based in Lincoln with an interest in exercise rehabilitation.

SR Sports Therapy was developed as a musculoskeletal and sports injury service accessible to Lincoln and the surrounding areas, offering access to advice, education and rehabilitation. We have a special interest in the application of post-operative rehabilitation and rehabilitation for common injuries such as ankle sprains, knee ligament and meniscus injuries, groin pain, shoulder complaints and more! Steven, Owner & Sports Therapist at SR Sports Therapy, runs a clinic at Active Arena Lincoln, and has experience dealing with athletes of a number of backgrounds, from extensive experience in a variety of settings including professional football, working with professional boxers and MMA athletes, to recreational golfers, amateur runners, rugby players and the general public! Your injury may not be sports related, but we can work with most musculoskeletal issues including work-related, muscular and joint aches and pains. Steven holds over 9 years post-graduate experience and has performed pitch-side first aid care for clubs for 8+ seasons! We do things differently, and offer a service that allows access to supervised rehabilitation three times a week (Open Gym Rehabilitation Membership), and semi-remote management of your rehabilitation (Semi-Remote Rehabilitation Programme). Both these services offer extensive value for money - more details can be found on our website of these services. Steven is an experienced Sports Therapist and currently works as a Lecturer in Sport & Exercise Therapy at the University of Lincoln when not in the clinic. He graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a degree in BSc Sports Therapy and furthered his knowledge by finishing a MSc in Sport & Exercise Medicine in 2018. As a member of the Society of Sports Therapists, Steven has also held roles as an FA medical tutor across 4 different counties, lecturer practitioner at the University of Central Lancashire, and associate lecturing roles. An avid football fan, Steven tried many sports when he was a bit younger including windsurfing, and now enjoys playing tug or being walked by his German Shepherd named Thor - if you get to know more about Thor, you’ll know why he walks Steven! If you are experiencing discomfort, pain or would like help minimising the risk of injury, then get in touch by direct messaging us.

Instagram has made rehabilitation look increasingly complicated.

You see athletes balancing on unstable surfaces that is throwing weights around, jumping onto boxes holding a dumbbell overhead, and performing exercises that look like they belong in a circus… but complexity doesn’t automatically equal effectiveness.

When selecting an exercise, the important question isn’t whether it looks impressive. It’s whether it provides the stimulus we actually need. Sometimes that might be a heavy, simple strength exercise; sometimes it might be a basic isometric; other times it might be a sprint, a hop, a change of direction or a sport specific drill. The right exercise depends on the person, the injury, their current capacity and, ultimately, what they’re trying to get back to.

As rehabilitation progresses, the exercises should evolve with it. What was appropriate early on might eventually become too easy, too slow or simply too far removed from the demands of the sport. That’s why I don’t believe there is a single “best” rehab exercise. There is only the most appropriate exercise for the individual, at that point in their rehabilitation. 📆

The goal isn’t to make your rehab look impressive, or to use your rehabilitation journey to drive my social media views 🤳🏻 The goal is to make you more capable and return to activity. Eventually, toward the latter parts of your rehabilitation, the best rehab exercise might not look like rehab at all.

If you’re early in your MSK career and feel like everyone else has figured it out except you, this is for you 👇🏼

Graduating is one thing. Knowing what to do with that qualification is another. The early stages of your career can leave you with a lot of questions: What should I actually be developing? Am I good enough clinically? How do I get the experience I need if nobody will give me the opportunity? What should I specialise in? How do I know whether I’m making good clinical decisions? Perhaps the biggest one: What do I actually need to do next?

I think one of the hardest parts of early career development is that you often don’t need someone to give you the answer. You need someone who can help you ask better questions, challenge your thinking and give you enough direction to work things out for yourself. That’s the thinking behind Phase 2 Mentorship.

It’s designed for practitioners who are ready to take more ownership of their development, but want someone experienced in their corner to challenge, support and guide them along the way. No promises of overnight career success. No generic business blueprint. No pretending there’s one correct pathway through MSK practice. Just six months of structured conversations, reflection, clinical discussion and honest challenge designed to help you become more autonomous in your decision making.

If you’re qualified but feel a little stuck, uncertain or directionless, maybe you don’t need another course. Maybe you need someone to help you work out what you actually need next.

If that sounds like you, you’ll find more information through the link in my bio.

Not all return to play testing is built the same 😱
➖
You go through the hardship of months of rehabilitation, and you get to the point of your return to play testing session. And in the session, you complete some hops and jump testing, and the numbers of the performance look fine - you can jump high, and hop far… but does that actually tell you the full picture?
➖
Unfortunately, not, and it can be quite common for injured individuals to report that these type of actions just don’t feel the same as they used to even when they can perform them to the same standard. This is where the use of equipment like force plates can pay dividends as you can not only assess the output or the outcome of an action, such as jump height or jump distance, but you can also measure the strategy of how you achieved that jump height or jump distance. What do we mean by strategy? This could be how long we spent on the floor, how quickly you were able to decelerate yourself at the bottom of the jump, and even whether we have more of a pushing strategy or if you are using more of your elastic qualities. To ensure that you haven’t developed compensatory patterns of movement that may come unstuck at the fast speed and high forces seen in sport, this is the kind of level of detail needed when assessing your readiness to return to sport.
➖
If you’re based in or near Lincolnshire and want this level of detail in your return to play testing, then get in touch and we can look at booking you in for an assessment.

In recent months, I’ve sat down and mapped out my training and rehabilitation approach and it always seemed to highlight these five pillars that in some way needed addressing. Not everyone or every patient needs all 5 addressing in the same way, with some individuals needing a more comprehensive or emphasised coverage of the pillars than others.
➖
Shapes - can you get into the positions you need to? This could be flexibility, mobility, or even neuromuscular control.

Capacity - do you have the ‘gas tank’ to do what you need to do? This might be your aerobic system, your anaerobic system, or more local muscular endurance.

Absorb - how good are your brakes? Can you brake effectively and efficiently for the actions you need to perform at the required speeds of the sport?

Express - can you produce the required force at the required speeds? This encompasses strength, speed and explosiveness.

Spring - can you be as elastic as possible? For a runner, this might relate to how ‘springy’ and elastic your pogo jumps are to show your ability to use the calf and Achilles complex effectively for when you run.
➖
Not only do these things drive our delivery and design of programmes but it also helps direct our testing approaches - by considering these five pillars we can get a holistic view of where you’re at and what needs to be targeted in your training.

Access to platforms such as RehabGuru or True Coach to view, track and log your rehab progress, the availability of equipment such as velocity trackers and blood flow restriction training for those that it’s suitable for, not forgetting on-site force plate and strength testing - our service is a little different to the norm and targets the use of objective measures to track and dictate your exercise rehabilitation. With three ways of working with us, we can tailor our approach to best suit your needs, and maximise the results. Want to know more? DMs are open for any questions or enquiries.

🚨 A new pricing structure will be implemented from 1st February 2025 🚨
➖
After thinking long and hard, we are adjusting our pricing from the 1st February 2025 to 1) better reflect the service being offered and the access we provide to a wide array of training techniques and profiling/objective testing; 2) better align to pricing seen elsewhere - for example, other providers may have previously been seen as a similar cost, but likely only provided 30 minutes of time compared to our 45-minute appointment slots… There will still be 10% discount applied to those under 18, over 65, those in the armed forces, and students 🙋🏻‍♂️
➖
This change in pricing will affect all services offered, however there is still great value for money seen in some of the higher priced services, with big savings seen with the semi-remote rehabilitation and open gym rehabilitation options when considering the ‘per-session cost’ and the added support your receive with these options! Book in before the 1st February, and pay the current prices - so get in fast 🏃🏻‍♂️💨💨💨🔥

Struggling with an injury, and in particular wanting to get back to sport - why not book in for an assessment and we can work with you to managing it with exercise rehabilitation. With experience in professional and semi professional football, alongside clinical work which has included professional combat sport athletes, professional footballers, runners, gym-goers and more, we can work with you to develop the necessary physical qualities whilst managing the injury back to return to sport. With three ways of working with us, from traditional appointment-by-appointment, to semi-remote rehabilitation blending in-person and online, and finally our more intensive open-gym rehabilitation allowing 3 sessions in person per week, we have something to suit everyone’s needs.

Why would you want to some of your rehabilitation sessions to be alongside another patient? 🤔
➖
As part of our open gym rehabilitation sessions you have the opportunity to complete your rehab session alongside another patient, making up a 2:1 patient-to-therapist ratio. Some people may be wondering why on Earth you would want to pay to do your session alongside another patient… well there’s actually quite a few benefits (see post) and it can easily be implemented, especially if you complete your reps or work in the rest period of the other patient, meaning you don’t miss out on those coaching cues and tips that you’d normally get from us!
➖
From the social interaction, to sharing your wins and worries with someone else, to having a bit of competition back to your sessions, and feeling apart of something again, I believe this approach can bring some great things to your rehab journey!
