SPEAR Physio Alvin delivered a workshop to the Aberdeen Sports Village Squash and Racketball Club, supporting their Performance Development Programme, on Monday evening. He talked about all things Injury Prevention and performance optimisation and generated a great Q&A discussion.
A massive thank you to Arthur Strachan for inviting us along. We love helping local clubs with their player development. Lots of top tips to share.

A surprise tea party from the neuro team for Lesley’s birthday. 🎂
Some work did get done (with tea and cake ).

An inservice from Iona and Michelle exploring the concept that Physiotherapy is grounded in science. But the real magic? That lives in the art. Not in textbooks or protocols. Not in special tests or the ability to name every muscle, tendon or nerve. The art is something quieter, less defined – yet every bit as powerful. It’s the creative problem-solving, the instinct to listen deeply, the ability to adapt a treatment plan on the spot. It’s how we connect across differences, make someone feel truly seen and build trust when they’re at their most uncertain.

This is what an appointment at at SPEAR looks like.
To make an appointment call 01224 900102 or email hello@spearphysiotherapy.co.uk

SPEAR is excited to welcome Kevin Symon to the team as our performance manager.
Kevin brings over 12 years’ experience working in elite professional football, having held senior performance roles across the English Premiership, English Championship, Scottish Premiership and European competition, most recently as Head of Performance at Aberdeen FC.

As Performance Manager at SPEAR Physiotherapy, Kevin will lead the development of a brand-new performance arm of the business, designed to complement and enhance the clinic’s existing physiotherapy services.

His role will focus on overseeing and facilitating services such as strength & conditioning, athletic development and performance testing, ensuring these are effectively integrated with the clinic’s rehabilitation pathways. Working closely with the physiotherapy team and specialist practitioners, Kevin will help create a seamless transition from injury rehabilitation to full return to performance for both athletes and active individuals.

We will also be extending this service into the corporate sector to optimise health and wellbeing in the workplace.

Please get in touch if any of these services are of interest to you.

It’s another exciting chapter for SPEAR that will hugely benefit patient care and treatment 🤩

James Cruickshank PhysioRun this is a fantastic resource. Thoroughly recommend
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ever wished you had PhysioRun in your pocket?

That’s exactly why I built the Runner’s Support System.

It’s there for the small niggles, the pre-race nerves, and the little questions that matter when you’re trying to keep running well.

Inside the app, the Body Hub helps you understand common problem areas a bit better. The Capacity Tests give you simple ways to check what your body can actually tolerate. The Learn section gives you practical advice without the fluff. And the Runner’s Tools are there to help you make better decisions around training, recovery, and rehab.

I know I haven’t always been able to reply to every message as quickly as I’d like, so I wanted to put that support where it belongs.

In your pocket.

Practical guidance. Useful tools. Better decisions for runners.

We have now been into our fantastic new clinic at Westhill for 3 weeks.The feedback from patients, and our team is just WOW!! It is better than we ever dared to imagine it could be.

We have set the standard of excellence for rehabilitation facilities, whether it’s sport, injuries or neuro rehabilitation.

Only now are we able to step back and take a breath. It’s interesting looking back at some of the photos of the journey to renovate the space into a clinic of excellence in just a few months!!!

A fab team inservice this afternoon at the anatomy labs at The Suttie Centre for Teaching & Learning in Healthcare at University of Aberdeen.

Seeing the muscles and joints in 3D was a fantastic learning experience. Although a few of us have done this as students (many moons ago!!!), the same experience as an experienced practitioner seemed even more valuable.

Thanks James Cruickshank PhysioRun for organising. The team got so much from this
