It’s Masters Week and we’re putting (lol, no pun intended) the to the test🏌️⛳

An in-clinic putting competition felt like the only right thing to do!

But this one’s for the golfers 👀
Club championships. Pennant league. Shields. Northern Counties. The season is GO and we are here for it.

Golf is one of those sports that sneaks up on the body. The rotation, the load, the hours on your feet - it adds up more than people realise.

And golfers are often so focused on the game that looking after themselves takes a back seat until something forces the issue.

Get ahead of it this season. Get your sports massage. Get your physiotherapy. Get your podiatry. And we all know golf if a mental sport too…so get your counselling here too.

We’d love to help keep you on the course and playing your best 🏆

How hard can it be to film a directions video?

One thing we hear all the time from first time visitors is “Omg I had no idea you were here!”. Well, Kim & Hattie show you exactly where we’ve been hiding.

In theory, this was meant to be a simple directions video.

But full transparency we’ve actually been trying to film this for months but between snow, rain and more rain, we’ve had to settle for wind🤝

Which explains a few moments involving Hattie, the elements and a complete loss of composure.

Still, mission accomplished (kinda)

ANYWAY.

Follow Kim & Hattie from the 📍Westhill Shopping Centre car park to Step and Stone Health, passing a few familiar stops along the way - including Greggs, Marks and Spencer new addition Granite Heart, our beautiful neighbours Duncano's Bar Bistro and more local favourites you’ll recognise.

And once you’re here:
- Free parking (up to 3 hours)
- Stair-free access - suitable for prams and wheelchairs♿️

So next time you think “I had no idea you were here” - now you do!

Congratulations to 📸 Imke and Kim who took part in Run Balmoral this past weekend.

It’s a good reflection of what we’re seeing in clinic right now! A lot of people in the middle of events or deep into structured training blocks.

Imke’s mainly helping those with ongoing issues or the last minute injuries that always seem to appear at the worst time🫠

Kim’s diary over the next few weeks is looking exactly how you’d expect: pre-event work to get people ready, and post-event recovery sessions to get them moving again after.

And Amy’s covering the reality of it all - blisters, nail care, gait changes and footwear advice… all the things people don’t think about until they’re forced to.

It also helps that they’ve all either trained, competed or been through it themselves soooo they’re usually right when they say something needs looked at!

The big one for our patients right now is the TCS London Marathon
We have a lot of experienced marathon runners as well as first time marathon runners coming into clinic for injuries, maintenance and advice so we have more coming on that as soon👀

🎙️On the Record: Hattie

You might know her as our relaxation therapist.
You might also know her as the winner of “Loudest Laugh”

The funny thing is… both are true.

Hattie is, objectively, one of the least relaxing people in the staff room.
And also the person you want in the room when you need to switch off completely.

Because what she’s actually very good at is reading people.

Some people want silence. Some people want to talk. Some people don’t even realise what they need until they’re in the room.

And she just gets that! It’s why we love her and why she is SO good at her job💚

Getting her on camera, however, might be our biggest challenge yet.

So, we sat Hattie down (eventually) and got into her career journey, clinic life behind the scenes, the advice that’s kept her going 13 years in and more.

Beyond the stories, Hattie’s work is exactly what she talks about: helping people relax and be the best versions of themselves.
Here's what she offers for her patients: https://step-and-stone-health.uk1.cliniko.com/bookings?business_id=873817987302299472&practitioner_id=874560314568349020

March Round-Up🦶

Amy headed to Foot and Ankle Show in Liverpool - proving podiatry is, in fact, more than just skin & nails (we’ve been saying this).

Back in clinic it was the usual mix - physio stretching sessions, shockwave chats, filming days (less enthusiasm from Hattie when the camera’s on) and whatever was on Hattie's phone that had everyone in bits.

We marked World Book Day - some strong choices, some questionable ones.

Birthdays, team awards and a goodbye to Sophie, who’s now off to study podiatry after her time with us… so we’ll take full credit for that.

😢Today we say a fond farewell to Sophie as she wraps up her S6 work experience placement with us.

Sophie came to us last year with a big decision to make - podiatry or physiotherapy. She started by shadowing both our physiotherapist, Imke and our podiatrist, Amy in clinic, getting a feel for each path before naturally gravitating towards podiatry (we’ll let you guess who was pleased about that 👀).

Now, we can’t say we influenced her decision… but Amy might have just mentioned podiatry once or twice (give or take) along the way.

From there, she really immersed herself in clinic life with Amy - sitting in on everything from core podiatry appointments to biomechanical assessments and insole fittings and building a proper understanding of what the role looks like day to day.

But she didn’t stop at clinic hours either. Sophie joined us for CPD evenings with both Amy and Louise, getting involved with the wider team and making the most of every opportunity to learn. And our Christmas night out too!🥳

And to Amy’s absolute delight - Sophie chose podiatry!

This autumn, Sophie will begin her podiatry degree at university and we’ve no doubt she’s got a great few years ahead of her. The first step in what we’re sure will be a very exciting career ahead.

We’re incredibly grateful to have played a small part in her journey. And just to set expectations early - we’ve already made it very clear there will be a place for her here once she qualifies. No pressure, Sophie… but we’ll see you in four years😉

Best of luck with everything - we’ll be following your journey with pride🦶🎓

Our timetable has a gap in it… which feels wrong, if we’re honest.

Over the years, the space has been home to yoga, Pilates, baby classes and more recently women’s wellness workshops like EFT tapping and hypnotherapy.

If you run something and feel like it would suit the space, we’d love to hear from you💚

You’re also very welcome to come in and see it - it usually helps to get a feel for it in person. Just send us a DM!

The studio had a full makeover last summer and it’s become a really lovely, calm space to work from.

If I was a marathon runner with tight glutes… I’d be doing these 👇

Tight glutes might seem like a small issue but they can affect your stride, limit performance and increase your risk of injury over time.

Here are 5 physio approved stretches/exercises to keep your glutes moving and working properly:

1. Pigeon Pose
- A go-to stretch for releasing deep glute tightness. Keep your hips facing forward and lean in gently until you feel the stretch.

2. Standing Abduction (with band)
- Targets your glute med, which plays a huge role in pelvic stability when running.

3. Standing Glute Extension (with band)
- Helps build strength through the glutes while keeping your posture in check. Focus on squeezing the glute, not arching your back.

4. Glute Bridge (with band)
- A staple for a reason. Strengthens your glutes while encouraging proper activation. Push through your heels and control the movement throughout.

5. Clamshells (with band)
- Small movement, big impact. Great for strengthening the side glutes and improving hip stability

⚠️ Some exercises use resistance bands. Choose a level that challenges you without losing control and focus on quality over quantity.

And yes, marathon training might be why you’re thinking about tight glutes…

…but keeping them strong and mobile year-round means better movement, fewer niggles and more efficient running.

If you’re dealing with tightness, discomfort or recurring injuries, our physiotherapist, Imke, is here to help. Free 15-minute consultations available at our clinic in Westhill Shopping Centre.

Shockwave therapy has been one of the most talked-about treatments at Step and Stone Health lately!

Since we introduced it, the response from our local community across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire has been amazing. People have been coming in asking about it, curious how it works and whether it could help with injuries that haven’t shifted with other treatments.

One of our physiotherapists, Imke, has been particularly busy with it, so we sat down with her to get the inside scoop. From the science behind the treatment to how it feels in practice, we wanted to know what makes Shockwave so effective and where it can really make a difference.
__

Q: Why is Shockwave Therapy often used for longer standing or chronic injuries?

Shockwave Therapy is particularly useful for injuries that have been lingering for months. Imke explains that chronic injuries can develop when the body stops responding to the damage.

“Sometimes the body almost gets used to the injury being there,” she says. “It kind of stops reacting to it.”

That’s where Shockwave Therapy comes in.

“Shockwave reminds the body - hey, there’s something going on here, you need to heal this.”

Many chronic injuries are caused by repeated stress on the same area of the body. Over time, soft tissues can struggle to repair themselves properly, particularly in areas where blood flow is limited.

It’s also common for people to continue pushing through pain without addressing the underlying issue.

“A lot of people will just take painkillers and keep going,” Imke explains. “That might reduce the pain temporarily but it doesn’t fix the problem.”
