In this episode we answer a question from my Dad regarding how to use music to aid your fitness programming and whether or not there is a quick 30 minute cure-all exercise program.... the answer.... it depends.

Well we are back at it again folks, after a hectic few weeks I've finally managed to edit and upload  this episode where we continue our journey into the world  of common injuries and how to fix them. This time focusing on the elbow and wrist.

We talk about golfers elbow, tennis elbow, carpal  tunnel syndrome and more and as always Ed delights us with his insightful wealth of knowledge and I bumble my way through pretending I know what I am talking about.

Please  do interact with us by sharing with a friend, following us on instagram @stilesandgiles.podcast and sending us an email with any questions you may have, big or small.

As  ever thanks for taking the time to check this episode  out and remember "All ye who listen are legends."

Our buddy Mark over at sustainable_fitness_nutrition asked us about ankle mobility and mentioned that he has an injury that affects his squat form.

In this episode  Stiles further enlightens us on the Ankle joint and gives us some solid ways to measure and improve our ankle mobility.

As always  we appreciate all of you  for listening and please feel free to ask us any questions, big or small of your own.

In this enlightening episode we find out all about the shoulder and the injuries that are likely to occur to it such as frozen shoulder, should impingement, tendonitis and more. I also have a light bulb moment as to why my best mate Whitey may have had an injured  wrist for so long!

Check it out and let us know what you think.

In this episode we talk about the role of the thorasic spine and how it acts as a major pivot point for our overall posture as well as playing a major role in the health of our shoulders. It also provides us with much of our psinal rotation and unless we conserve, enable and protect  its ability to move correctly we will very quickly find ourselves in pain!

As always Eds shares his wide knowledge and I throw in the odd question and comment here and there. Some of them are even relevant!

Thanks as ever for listening, we trule appreciate it and please subscribe to the podcast, tag a friend on instagram who you think will benefit from us or even more importantly send us your questions! Later this week we will have  some 'bonus' questions episodes dropping so keep an eye out for them.

Cheers guys and remember all ye who listen are legends.

In this episode which is extremely relevant to me we discuss lower back injuries, how to prevent them and how to heal them. Disc bulges, herniated disc, nerve contact, piriformis  syndrome and muscular imbalances are all on the menu.

I talk about how I hurt my back repeatedly through hundreds of repetitive 'life' movements every day which added up to create a massive muscular/load imbalance on my body. Analyze your life movements and see if you can find the hidden contributors to your back pain.

We also discuss the benefits of going to see physios, chiros and muscle mechanics and give you the number one clue on finding a good one... do they pay attention to your posture?

As always, all ye who listen are legends and we thank you for it.

In this episode we discuss the hip joint and common injuries. Ed gives us some simple steps we can take to avoid (hopefully) having hip replacements and lets us know the importance of cross training rather than racking up huge mileage as a runner.

We all know someone with a knee injury or a  "bad knee". What if these injuries  were preventable? Well we think a large majority of them are!

In this episode we talk about alignment and balance within and around the knee joint and how not having those  two important factors leads to us being predisposed to injury. It doesn't take a genius to know that having a well aligned balanced knee joint is far preferable to having a misaligned imbalanced joint.

Ed takes us through some of the common imbalances and misalignments and how to fix them.

We also do our usual weed whacking as we wander off into the woods of 'back injury land' but overall this episode is  definitely worth a listen. We think and hope it has the capability to enlighten and help a lot of people who may have an injury in their future if things don't change so please share it with anyone you feel may benefit.

As ever, "All ye who listen are Legends"

Why do we dislike burpees and not rate a 6 pack?

Well... the awesome athletic movement that is the burpee is actually far too advanced for most people. Ed explains how to get to being able to do them and gives you some alternatives too.

We also discuss 'The Keg' body type and why you shouldn't be prioritizing and chasing a 6 pack.

There is no perfect physique so don't go chasing down a 6 pack to the detriment of your well being.

As always, please send us your questions to [email protected] and let us know what you think of the show. Share it with a friend by tagging them on Instagram or by telling them directly like we used to in the times of old! Anything you can do to help us build our following and spread the word will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for listening and remember 'All ye who listen are legends'.

Have you ever had a foot or ankle injury? 

In this episode we discuss how the foot and ankle complex is our foundation and root into the ground, the common ankle injuries such as plantar fasciitis. What the knock on effects are of leaving acute ankle or foot injuries are over time and how important the alignment of the foot is in setting up the potential to have the entire chain of the body in line.

As always, please feel free to send us your questions and comments to [email protected].

Thanks as ever for listening and please enjoy!
