What Does Megan Get Up to When She’s Not Being a Physio?

Chelmsford Physio • October 25, 2024

At Chelmsford Physio, we’re always keen to share a bit about our team and their passions outside of the clinic. Megan Williams, one of our talented physios, has a not-so-secret love: cross-country running!


Megan has been with us for over three years, and her expertise in sports injuries is evident, especially given her dedication to athletic training. But outside of helping clients recover, she’s clocking miles across local trails and fields, a commitment she’s built up over the last 15 years. It all began when she was a shy 11-year-old, clinging to her friend’s shirt to get around the track. Today, Megan trains five times weekly, often joined by other dedicated women who keep her motivated—rain or shine.


Through her hard work and dedication, Megan has seen great success, recently placing 2nd in the Essex cross-country league for senior women. She’s also represented Essex in inter-county events, and during the warmer months, you might spot her at the track competing over 1500m.


For Megan, running is more than a hobby; it’s a source of inspiration that fuels her energy in and out of the clinic.

ACL Injuries in Female Football

By Jon McComish • July 29, 2025
Females are generally at a higher risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries compared to males. The evidence now suggests that females can be x8 times more likely to suffer an ACL injury compared to their male counterparts. Why is this? Several factors contribute to this increased risk in females: 1. Anatomical Differences: Females typically have a wider pelvis, which can affect the alignment of the knee joint and increase stress on the ACL. 2. Hormonal Factors: Hormones, particularly estrogen, may influence ligament laxity and strength, potentially affecting the stability of the knee. 3. Biomechanics: Women often exhibit different movement patterns, such as increased knee valgus (inward collapse of the knee) and less hip and knee flexion during activities like jumping and landing. 4. Neuromuscular Control: Females may have less neuromuscular control, which can affect their ability to stabilise the knee during physical activity. These factors combined contribute to the higher incidence of ACL injuries among females, especially in sports that involve jumping, cutting, and rapid changes in direction.
