Stack Pain & Injury Solutions

Key take aways from last week! Insights from top experts in performance, coaching & return to play.

Keith Thornhill
• Keep it simple.
• Involve everyone in the process.
• Understand acute vs. chronic workload.
• Tailor training to the sport—everything is individual. Prop won’t be exposed to as much high speed as a winger

Andrew Morrissey –
• Look at what a player typically does in a week.
• That’s your benchmark for deciding if they’re ready to return to training.

PJ Wilson
• Support the environment—never dictate.
• It doesn’t have to be specific, but it must be relevant.

David Drake
• “Getting fresh is easy but getting prepared for demands is key.”
• No one-size-fits-all approach, but also no need for a unique program for every player.

Plenty to reflect on & apply from last week! Thanks

Always nice to put yourself in your clients’ shoes; to see & feel things from their perspective. That includes both pain & recovery.

At the other side of the table today!

Massive value in being able to FEEL the difference in my own body & how quickly things can change when given the right input.

This gives me massive confidence in what we do here on a daily basis being able to feel it for myself

Thanks Dave & Shane- always a pleasure.

Absolute wizards in the flesh 🧙‍♂️

League done ✅

Up the Banner 💛💙

Empowering weekend delighted to see in action again 👌

Also very greatful came home with myself & not Bressie 🙏🏻🤣

Here are some takeaways:

Gerry Hussey:

- Average life expectancy is 900 months we sleep for 300. What are you going to do about however many months you have left? (I’ve 247😳😱)

-We know so much about our external world & so little about our internal world

- The medical world loves conditions. “This is a condition you have & you have to live within your condition”- F**K CONDITIONS

- Where in your life are you playing small?

- The universe is a beautiful place instead of why is this happening to me…why is this happening for me? What is this here to teach?

Bressie:

- Kindness is what you do when no one is watching

- Non judgement- you don’t know what someone else is going through

-99% of people are sound. 1% are arseholes. World is great but we are wired to focus on the negative

-Compassion: recognising humans are flawed

-1st arrow is the suffering the trauma, grief etc 2nd arrow is the arrow we direct at ourselves- the one that does the damage

Miriam

- If you spoke to your partner the way you speak to yourself would they stay with you?

- Face it, feel it, heal it. The only way out of anything is to go through it

- Disease: dis-EASE a lack of ease

-Emotion: energy in motion needs to be moved out of the body- otherwise it will stew

- what we don’t repair we repeat

Massive thanks to the two Davids & Dermot for a top class job with the signs & logo! Couldn’t recommend them highly enough 👌

Unbelievable feeling seeing my name above the clinic in my home town.

Thanks Mam & Dad for all the support. Massive thank you to all my clients & mentors.

Looking forward to continuing to help people with aches & pains to get back doing activities they love for many years to come 🌎🏃‍♀️🏋️
