If your pain feels worse during stressful periods, that’s not in your head; it’s in your physiology.

Stress changes how your brain and body process pain:
1. Increased sensitivity
2. More inflammation
3. Reduced natural pain inhibition

The result? Pain that feels stronger, spreads more easily, and lingers longer. Supporting pain also measures supporting the nervous system.

Our physiotherapy team takes the time to listen, assess, and understand your unique presentation, so your care is tailored to you, not just your symptoms.

ADHD can impact focus, organisation, emotional regulation, and daily routines, but the right strategies and support can make a meaningful difference.

Simple practices like externalising tasks, setting clear boundaries, and recognising small wins can help reduce overwhelm and build confidence over time. Developing tools for emotional regulation and self-compassion is also an important part of supporting long-term wellbeing.

If ADHD is affecting your day-to-day life, working with a psychologist can help you develop practical strategies tailored to you.

Please join us in welcoming Sarah to the team as our new Client Experience Officer 🤍

Sarah is passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment and ensuring every client feels genuinely valued and supported from the moment they walk through our doors.

Alongside her role with us, she’s currently studying Podiatry, building her knowledge of lower limb health and human movement as she moves into the final years of her degree. She’s eager to gain further experience in an allied health setting, learn from the wide variety of cases we see, and support both our clients and clinicians in any way she can.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find her staying active; whether that’s long walks with her dog, playing netball, or spending quality time with family and friends.

We’re so excited to have you on board, Sarah. Welcome to the team!

“I just need to feel more motivated!”

It’s something most of us think at some point. But psychologically, motivation often follows action, not the other way around.

When we take a small step, the brain registers progress. That progress creates a reward response, which makes it easier to take the next step. Momentum builds, and motivation grows from there.

The key is lowering the entry point.

Instead of “finish the report,” try “open the document.”
Instead of “do a full workout,” try “put your shoes on.”

Small, manageable actions reduce resistance and create forward movement.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, it may not be a lack of motivation, it may just be that the first step feels too big.

What’s one small action you could take today?

Knee pain when you’re tackling the stairs? 🦵🏽

Pain on stairs is usually a sign something isn’t moving or loading the way it should.

Our physiotherapy and podiatry team can help you figure out what’s going on and create a clear plan to get you moving comfortably again.
