You can’t have a high intensity work strategy with a low intensity recovery strategy! Your rest and recovery is just as, if not more important as your programming and training! Work hard… recover harder!

This week's thank you is from the family of a patient who stayed on Philip Yeoman ward over Christmas. "The fabulous team made his Christmas in hospital such a cheerful and positive experience...we really do appreciate your professionalism, your warm hearts and your dedication!"
A quote reads "My father recently spent several days at the RUH after falling and breaking his hip. Not only was the treatment he received exemplary, but the kindness and empathy he received from the nursing team was in his own words, 'simply fantastic!'"

What factors influence Achilles tendon rupture risk? The graphic below is based on Xergia et al. (2022) - tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… The (?) indicates mixed research findings or unclear association. Most of these studies are retrospective and observational - more research needed!
