Boosting Workplace Wellbeing at Inigo Insurance in London

In today’s fast-paced work environment, prioritising employee wellbeing has become essential for fostering a healthy and productive workplace culture. Recognizing this importance, Inigo Insurance recently partnered with LiveWell Health to provide their team with three days dedicated to enhancing their physical and mental wellness.

The first day kicked off with a blissful session of reflexology, where employees were treated to rejuvenating foot, hand and ear reflexology treatments in the comfort of a repurposed meeting room. Elle one of our Master Reflexologists, from LiveWell Health, worked her magic, relieving tension, reducing stress, and promoting relaxation with a combination of soothing techniques. As the gentle pressure melted away the worries of the day, the employees felt invigorated and ready to tackle their tasks with renewed energy.

Next on the agenda was a day of office massage, Hannah one of our highly skilled massage therapists who specialises in on site massage, provided the employees with a day of relaxation and rejuventation. The massages focused on specific complaints that the employees were having such as neck tightness, lower back tightness and other muscular pains. With a mixture of soft and firm pressures, Hannah was able to provide a rare treat for the team at Inigo. The team experienced a deep sense of relaxation and a heightened state of balance, helping to alleviate both physical and mental stress.

Rounding off the wellbeing initiative over the month of April, was a day dedicated to medical acupuncture, an ancient healing practice that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to promote natural healing and pain relief. Under the guidance of qualified specialists from LiveWell Health, employees experienced the therapeutic benefits of this specialised service. From alleviating muscle pain and improving circulation to reducing anxiety and enhancing sleep quality, medical acupuncture proved to be a valuable addition to the employee wellbeing program.

Malvern Hills Trail Run

Posted on April 21, 2024

On April 20th, 2024, our team had the privilege of attending the Malvern Hills Trail Run, an exhilarating 26-mile journey through the rugged terrain of the Malvern Hills. As if conquering a marathon distance wasn’t challenging enough, the undulating hills added an extra layer of intensity to the event.

You may be asking, what on earth is a trail run?

A trail run is a type of running event that takes place on natural terrain such as dirt paths, forest trails, mountainous terrain, or rugged countryside. Unlike traditional road races that typically occur on paved roads, trail runs offer participants the opportunity to experience the beauty and challenges of nature while testing their endurance and skills.

Trail runs vary in distance, ranging from short distances like 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) to ultra-marathon lengths exceeding 100 kilometers (62.1 miles). Participants navigate through diverse landscapes, encountering obstacles such as steep inclines, rocky terrain, mud, roots, and uneven surfaces along the way.

One of the defining characteristics of trail running is its emphasis on the natural environment. Runners may traverse through forests, cross streams, ascend mountains, and explore remote wilderness areas. The ever-changing terrain and scenic surroundings create a unique and immersive experience for participants.

Trail runs also offer a sense of adventure and camaraderie. Participants often embrace the challenge of overcoming obstacles together, sharing in the triumphs and struggles of the journey. Unlike road races, where the focus may be on achieving a specific time or pace, trail running is often more about the experience itself—immersing oneself in nature, pushing personal limits, and enjoying the journey.

Overall, trail running provides a dynamic and exhilarating way to explore the great outdoors, challenge oneself both physically and mentally, and connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for adventure and exploration.

We were honored to be invited to help out!

Our presence at the trail run wasn’t merely as spectators; we were there to provide crucial post event recovery services to the participants. Among the services we offered were Sports Massage and also Compression Boot therapy, both integral components of our comprehensive Recovery Hub service. These are a few services we offer as part of our wider Recovery Hub service but the space didn’t allow for our full compliment of recovery products.

Despite the physical demands of the trail run, our team thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity providing the event massage and event recovery services to the runners, to assist the runners in their recovery journey. Witnessing their determination and resilience firsthand was truly inspiring, and we were honored to play a role in supporting their post-race recovery.

If you’ve recently completed a similar endurance event and find yourself in need of recovery services, look no further. Our Worcester based team is here to provide top-notch sports massage and sports therapy services tailored to your needs. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for expert assistance in your post-event recovery journey.

Shin Splints

Posted on April 5, 2024

Shin splints is a generic term used to describe several conditions of the lower leg such as:
– Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS)
– Stress Fractures
– Compartment Syndrome

Throughout this article will we discuss the signs & symptoms for each condition.

Anatomy

The function of the tibialis anterior muscle is to dorsiflex the foot (bringing your toes towards the shin). Not a lot of strength is required to perform this movement and as a result the TA tends to be quite small. As the muscle contracts to perform dorsiflexion, the plantarflexors relax to allow the foot to raise. Plantarflexors are muscles that create the opposing movement of the foot, meaning they bring your toes down towards the ground. If the plantarflexors fail to relax, then the TA needs to overcome both the weight of the foot and the intrinsic resistance of these antagonistic muscles. This extra effort causes overload on the TA, resulting pain and discomfort.

Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS)

MTSS is inflammation of the periosteum, usually occurring on the posterior and medial surfaces of the tibia. The inflammation results in scar tissue which can stick or ‘splint’ the affected muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the bone, making it difficult for them to lengthen, which would allow the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle to function.

Symptoms

– Pain and discomfort in the front and medial side of the shin, especially when walking or running uphill since the ROM required increases.
– inflammation along tibia
– persistent discomfort during activity, increases with walking or uphill running
– limited dorsiflexion (tight calf musculature)
– pain on palpation of medial tibial border
– pain on full contraction or stretch
– foot in a pronated position

Causes

– Muscle imbalance
– Impact
– Change of stress (e.g: shoes, surfaces, intensity)
– Over pronation of the foot

Stress Fractures

Continued microtrauma caused by repetitive impact can lead to small cracks developing in the tibia. The fractures often occur on the anterior tibia where the impact force is focussed.

Symptoms

– Pain felt on anterior and posterior tibia
– Increased pain with activity (particularly impact)
– Pain on palpation on anterior tibia
– Nodules along anterior tibia may be felt in more chronic stages

Causes

– Muscle imbalance
– Poor posture
– Over pronation during walking, jogging or running gait
– Overuse and excessive repetition
– Too much too soon

Compartment Syndrome

Compartment syndrome results in an increase in pressure in any of the four compartments of the lower leg

Symptoms

Symptoms are similar to those of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), so the healthcare professional should be confident that DVT is not a possibility before progressing with any treatment.

– Pain and swelling of lower limb
– Pain and discomfort increasing with activity
– Symptoms relieved shortly after activity stops
– Pain on palpation of affected compartment
– Pain on contraction of affected muscles
– Reduced ROM relating to movements of the muscles in the affected compartment
– Neurological symptoms distal to the compartment (numbness, tingling)
– Reduced pulse quality of the affected foot

Causes

– Post-impact bleeding
– Rapid hypertrophy of compartment muscles
– Inflammation of tendons from repetitive movement or impact
– Reduced flexibility in an adjacent compartment

Diagnosis of Shin Splints

Shin splints are usually diagnosed from the patients’ medical history and a physical exam. In some cases, an X-ray or other imaging studies can help identify stress fractures.

Treatment

Rest – Avoid activities that cause pain or discomfort but don’t give up all physical activity. While you’re healing, perform low-impact exercises, such as swimming, bicycling or water running.

Ice – Apply ice packs to the affected shin for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, every 2-3 hours for several days. To protect your skin, wrap the ice packs in a thin towel.

Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Try ibuprofen to reduce pain.

Resume usual activities gradually after your pain is gone.

Alternative therapies

As soft tissue specialists in some cases Shin Splints can be confused with a tightness in the Tibialis Anterior muscle and as such a sports massage or deep tissue massage can relieve the issue. That said even if you have shine splints, maintaining good blood flow to the area and keeping your muscles relaxed and the lymphatic fluid drained can also be achieved through hands on soft tissue massage and lymphatic drainage techniques. Other therapies like medical acupuncture has also shown to be effective in the management of pain and symptoms.

Exercises

Standing Gastrocnemius Stretch

Primary muscles stretched: Gastrocnemius (calf muscle)

Starting Position: Stand facing a wall or sturdy object, about arm’s length away. Place your hands flat against the wall at shoulder height for support. Keep your feet hip-width apart and both feet flat on the ground.
Step Back: Take a step back with one foot, keeping it flat on the ground and extending it behind you. Your back leg should be straight, with your heel firmly planted on the ground and your toes pointing directly forward.
Bend Front Knee: Bend your front knee, shifting your weight slightly forward while keeping your back leg straight. You should feel a gentle stretch in the calf muscle of your back leg.
Adjust Position: If you don’t feel a stretch, you can adjust your stance by stepping farther back or bending your front knee slightly more. Ensure that your back heel remains in contact with the ground throughout the stretch.
Hold and Breathe: Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, focusing on deep, steady breaths. Relax into the stretch, allowing the tension in your calf muscle to gradually release.
Switch Sides: After holding the stretch on one side, release and switch legs, stepping back with the opposite foot. Repeat the stretch on the other side, following the same steps.
Repeat: Perform the stretch 2-3 times on each leg, aiming to deepen the stretch slightly with each repetition. Listen to your body and avoid pushing into pain or discomfort.

Soleus Stretch

Primary muscles stretched: Soleus (calf muscle)

Starting Position: Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Keep your back straight and your feet flexed, pointing towards the ceiling.
Bend Knee: Bend one knee and cross it over the opposite leg, placing your foot flat on the floor on the outside of your opposite knee. Your bent knee should be pointing towards the ceiling.
Foot Positioning: Keep your foot on the floor relaxed, with your toes pointing slightly outward and the sole of your foot in contact with the ground.
Lean Back: Slowly lean back, using your hands for support behind you. Keep your back straight and your chest lifted as you lower your upper body towards the floor.
Feel the Stretch: You should feel a gentle stretch in the calf muscle of your extended leg. This stretch primarily targets the soleus muscle, located deeper within the calf.
Hold and Breathe: Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, focusing on deep, steady breaths. Relax into the stretch, allowing the tension in your calf muscle to gradually release.
Switch Sides: Release the stretch and switch legs, crossing the opposite knee over the other leg and repeating the stretch on the opposite side.
Repeat: Perform the stretch 2-3 times on each leg, aiming to deepen the stretch slightly with each repetition. Listen to your body and avoid pushing into pain or discomfort.

Tibialis Anterior Stretch

Primary muscles stretched: Tibialis anterior (front of shin)

Starting Position: Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Keep your back straight and your feet flexed, pointing towards the ceiling.
Cross Ankle: Cross one ankle over the opposite knee, placing your foot flat on the floor beside your opposite knee. Your crossed leg should form a figure-four shape.
Lean Back: Slowly lean back, using your hands for support behind you. Keep your back straight and your chest lifted as you lower your upper body towards the floor.
Point Toes: Point your toes of the crossed leg towards the ceiling. This movement will target the tibialis anterior muscle, located on the front of your shin.
Feel the Stretch: You should feel a gentle stretch along the front of your shin and ankle of the crossed leg.
Hold and Breathe: Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, focusing on deep, steady breaths. Relax into the stretch, allowing the tension in your tibialis anterior muscle to gradually release.
Switch Sides: Release the stretch and switch legs, crossing the opposite ankle over the other knee and repeating the stretch on the opposite side.
Repeat: Perform the stretch 2-3 times on each leg, aiming to deepen the stretch slightly with each repetition. Listen to your body and avoid pushing into pain or discomfort.

Calf Raises

Muscles targeted: Gastrocnemius (calf muscle), Soleus

Starting Position: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, ensuring your weight is evenly distributed between both feet. Keep your shoulders relaxed and your abdominal muscles engaged for stability.
Lift: Slowly rise up onto the balls of your feet by lifting your heels off the ground. Focus on using your calf muscles to initiate the movement. Keep your core tight to maintain balance.
Peak Contraction: Once you’ve reached the highest point of the movement where you feel a strong contraction in your calf muscles, pause briefly. Ensure that you maintain control throughout the exercise to prevent any jerky movements.
Lowering Phase: Slowly lower your heels back down to the starting position, allowing your heels to gently touch the ground. Resist the urge to drop your heels quickly, as this reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions, aiming for 10-15 repetitions to start with. As you become more comfortable with the exercise, you can gradually increase the number of repetitions or add additional resistance by holding onto dumbbells or using a calf raise machine.

Resisted Dorsiflexion

Muscles targeted: Tibialis anterior

Starting Position: Sit on a chair or bench with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Place a resistance band around the top of your foot, securing the other end to a stable object in front of you, such as a table leg or heavy piece of furniture.
Ankle Positioning: Sit up straight with your shoulders relaxed and your abdominal muscles engaged. Your knees should be bent at a 90-degree angle, with your thighs parallel to the ground. Ensure that the resistance band is positioned securely around the top of your foot, just below your toes.
Dorsiflexion: Keeping your heel planted firmly on the ground, slowly pull your toes towards your shins against the resistance of the band. Focus on contracting the muscles on the front of your shin (tibialis anterior) to lift your foot upwards, bringing your toes closer to your body.
Peak Contraction: Hold the top position for a moment, feeling the muscles on the front of your shin working hard. Maintain control throughout the movement to maximize muscle engagement and prevent any jerky motions.
Lowering Phase: Slowly release the tension on the resistance band as you lower your foot back down to the starting position, allowing your toes to point away from your body. Avoid letting the resistance band snap back quickly, as this can strain your ankle joint.
Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions, aiming for 10-15 repetitions to start with. As you become more familiar with the exercise and your strength improves, you can gradually increase the number of repetitions or adjust the resistance level of the band.

If you believe you have shin splints and would like to have an evaluation done and possibly some treatment by some of our physiotherapists or sports therapists, then please contact us or alternatively make a booking online.

How Important Is Nutrition To Your Employees’ Well-Being?

Posted on April 4, 2024

In the bustling world of modern workplaces, where deadlines loom and productivity is paramount, the significance of employee well-being often takes a backseat. Yet, amidst the chaos of project meetings and email threads, there exists a fundamental aspect that directly impacts the well-being, productivity, and overall happiness of your employees – nutrition.

Imagine this scenario: it’s midday, and your team is knee-deep in a crucial project. Energy levels are waning, focus is slipping, and tempers are flaring. Now, consider a different scenario: the same midday crunch, but this time, your team is revitalised, fueled by nutritious lunches and wholesome snacks, powering through tasks with vigour and enthusiasm.

The difference? Nutrition.

“It can be the difference between your team having energy and being happy at work or not,” says Steven Hartill, Managing Director of LIVEWELL Corporate, a leading provider of workplace nutrition solutions. And he’s not wrong. Countless studies have shown the direct correlation between nutrition and employee well-being, with factors such as mood, energy levels, cognitive function, and even absenteeism tied closely to diet.

Recognizing this pivotal link, companies like Softbank International, American Express and others are taking proactive steps to prioritise nutrition in the workplace utlizing LiveWell Health and it’s team to consult and plan not just their UK approach but their global approach to nutrition in their offices, leading the charge in fostering a culture of health and wellness among its employees.

“Our nutritionists are putting together office lunches and snack selections with clearly defined traffic light signals showing red (bad), amber (not so bad), and green (good) choices!” explains Steve. “This approach not only educates employees about healthy eating but also empowers them to make informed decisions about their diet throughout the workday.”

The benefits of such initiatives extend far beyond mere physical health. By providing nutritious options in the workplace, companies can enhance employee morale, engagement, and overall job satisfaction. After all, a well-fed workforce is a happy and productive workforce.

If you’re intrigued by the idea of revolutionising your workplace nutrition, LIVEWELL stands ready to assist. “If you are interested in something similar, get in touch, and we can talk you through some great options to spark your team into making healthy choices!” encourages Steve.

In today’s competitive landscape, where talent retention and employee satisfaction reign supreme, investing in the well-being of your workforce isn’t just a luxury – it’s a strategic imperative. And when it comes to nurturing a healthy, vibrant workplace culture, the importance of nutrition cannot be overstated. So, ask yourself: Is your company feeding success, or sowing the seeds of stagnation? The choice is yours.
