Witney Clubs and Societies
Dr Zo welcomes any members of any groups from Witney such as the following:
Witney Roadrunners
Have you been struggling with the Oxfordshire Grand Prix and the undulating hills of the Windrush Valley?
The "A40/Leys" Shin Splints (MTSS)
Witney pavement hitting back? Let’s talk about those shin splints.
High-impact road running overloads the tibia and rest alone isn't the cure (spoiler: it’s calf strength!).
"The Hill" Knee Pain (Patellofemoral Pain)
"Why your knees hate the downhill stretches in the Windrush Valley."
"Runner’s Knee"—a dull ache behind the kneecap that flares up during descents.
Focus on quad and hip tracking
The "Diamond Wheezer" Hip/Tendon Issue
Hip replacements, bursitis, and stubborn Achilles tendons that making the morning walk to the café difficult?
Returning from injury or moving to the walking group? Your hips deserve better.
Focus on longevity and low-impact strengthening for tendons that have "seen some miles."
Witney Hockey Club:
Are you having frustrating build-ups to the season due to unavailability. The high-intensity, "stop-start" nature of hockey causing pain?
The "Lumbering Lower Back" (Postural Fatigue)
"Witney Hockey: Is your back screaming by the second half?"
A "weak core-to-glute connection" makes the lower back do all the work while dribbling.
The "Astro-Ankle" & Knee Twists (MCL/Ankle Sprains)
The synthetic pitches at Wood Green provide a lot of grip, which is great until a player tries to change direction too quickly and their foot stays planted while their knee turns.
Don’t let the Wood Green turf take your ACL
Focus on Proprioception
"Stick & Ball" Contusions (Impact Management)
Bruised shins, fractured fingers, and "hematomas" from a stray ball?
"More than just a bruise?" Seek physio help for impact injuries that are not quite right.
Its important to manage soft tissue swelling to prevent long-term stiffness or "myositis ossificans" (calcification in the muscle)
Mickey Cranks CC:
Serious about your "fun and fitness." After starting your Sunday morning rides at UE Coffee Roasters are you struggling with pain? Are you suffering from Overuse/Postural injuries (from the long West Oxfordshire miles) and Traumatic falls (from the occasional tumble on rural roads)?
The "Handlebar Hunch" (Cervical & Thoracic Strain)
"Mickey Cranks: Is your neck giving up before your legs do?"
"Upper Cross Syndrome" can develop from the static cycling posture.
Cyclists craning their necks to look ahead while in the drops often suffer from hyperextension. This leads to a dull ache at the base of the skull and radiating pain between the shoulder blades.
Understand how to help this and enjoy pain free rides.
The "Mashing" Knee (Patellofemoral Syndrome)
"Grinding those gears? Your kneecaps might be paying the price."
When riders "mash" high gears at a low cadence (especially on the hills toward Burford), they overload the kneecap.
Knee tracking is linked to saddle height and cadence. A "Single Leg Dip" check is the gold standard for Witney riders
"Handlebar Palsy" (Ulnar Neuropathy)
Long rides result in sustained pressure on the ulnar nerve at the wrist, causing tingling in the ring and little fingers.
"Numb fingers on the Sunday Club Ride? It’s not just the cold."
Nerve gliding and wrist positioning can help. "Check your Grip"
