It started as a bit of soreness after a run.

Nothing major. Just a dull ache in the foot that settled by the next day.

So she kept training.

She was preparing for a half marathon, and didn’t want to lose momentum.

But slowly, the pain got sharper.

It stuck around longer.

Some nights it even woke her up.

Her GP said the X-ray looked fine. Told her to rest for a bit and carry on.

But deep down, she knew something was off.

When she came to us, the pattern sounded all too familiar.

- Localised pain near the second metatarsal.
- Night pain.
- Swelling now and then.

We referred her for an MRI. And there it was, a clear stress fracture.

The truth is, most stress fractures don’t show up on X-rays.

They get missed.

And by the time they’re diagnosed, they’ve often gone from minor stress to full-blown injury.

The good news?

Once we had answers, her recovery was simple...

Rest, load management, and structured rehab.

Now she’s back to running pain-free, and much more in tune with her body.

Don’t ignore foot pain that lingers, throbs at night, or feels deep.

Catching these injuries early can save you weeks of frustration.

When “Hamstring Pain” Isn’t Really a Hamstring Injury

You kick a ball, feel a sharp pull at the back of your leg, and straight away you think: hamstring tear.

It makes sense, the pain feels like it’s right there. But sometimes the obvious explanation hides the real problem.

We recently saw a young footballer with 3 months of “hamstring pain.” He’d already seen two physios, been treated for tendon issues, and even rested.

Nothing worked. Why? Because the hamstring wasn’t the problem at all.

The real issue was in his spine, a pars fracture in his lower back.

The nerve irritation made it feel like hamstring pain, but the hamstring itself was perfectly strong.

Here’s the lesson...

if your pain isn’t improving with the usual rehab, don’t ignore it. Sometimes the source is deeper than you think.

✅ The right diagnosis is the first step toward recovery.

✅ Getting it wrong means wasted time and ongoing frustration.

If you’re struggling with pain that hasn’t improved, book a free discovery call. Let’s find the real reason behind it.

Can A Hip Replacement Solve Hip Pain?

While physiotherapy can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals living with hip arthritis, there may come a time when conservative treatments no longer provide sufficient relief.

In such cases, hip replacement surgery may be considered as a viable option.

Hip replacement surgery involves removing the damaged hip joint and replacing it with an artificial joint, allowing for improved mobility and a reduction in pain.

This procedure is generally recommended for individuals whose arthritis severely impacts daily activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, or simply getting in and out of a chair.

The decision to undergo hip replacement surgery is not taken lightly and involves careful consideration of various factors, including the severity of arthritis, overall health, and lifestyle goals.

Many patients experience significant improvements in their quality of life after the procedure, allowing them to return to activities they may have had to give up due to pain.

He was told to 'just live with it, after being diagnosed with arthritis in his spine.

Painkillers, rest, and no real plan. But he wasn’t ready to give up the job he loved, or accept that this was it.

So he gave physio a shot. 6 sessions later? Moving better, off the meds, back to full-time work. And smiling again.

Arthritis doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Don’t settle for 'just live with it.' There’s always another way."

Diagnosing An Achilles Tendinopathy...

Diagnosing Achilles tendinopathy typically starts with a thorough clinical examination by your physio.

They’ll ask about your symptoms, activity level, and any recent changes in your routine, such as an increase in exercise or new footwear.

Your physio will then perform a physical exam, checking for pain, swelling, and tenderness along the Achilles tendon, as well as evaluating your ankle’s range of motion and strength.

One of the key tests used to diagnose Achilles tendinopathy is the palpation test, where the physio will press along the tendon to pinpoint areas of pain or thickening.

They may also ask you to perform certain movements, like standing on your toes or walking, to assess how your tendon responds under stress.

“You’ve just got to learn to live with it.”

That’s what he was told by his GP after finally getting a scan for the back pain that had been creeping in for years.

He’s a carpenter in his 40s. The kind of guy who cracks on, doesn’t complain, just gets the job done.

But lately, the stiffness, the pain, the constant ache, it was wearing him down.

When he came to us, he didn’t have big expectations. He just didn’t want to give up the job he loved.

What we found? Yes, there was arthritis. But that wasn’t the end of the story.

His hips barely moved. His glutes were weak. His back was doing too much of the heavy lifting. Things we could actually do something about.

6 sessions later, he was back at work, off the painkillers, and 85% better.

Now? He checks in every couple of months and feels more like himself than he has in years.

Arthritis in the spine is common, but it doesn’t mean you’re broken.

It doesn’t mean the pain is permanent.

And it definitely doesn’t mean you should give up.

There’s always another path. You just need someone to help you find it.

What Are The Symptoms Of A Sportsman's Hernia?

Recognising a sportsman’s hernia can be tricky because the symptoms often mimic other groin injuries. What begins as a slight discomfort can gradually escalate into debilitating pain that interferes with exercise.

At first, the pain might appear mild, showing up only after a hard training session or game. You might notice discomfort when sprinting, twisting, or making quick turns.

But as time goes on, the pain becomes more persistent, creeping into your training sessions and eventually affecting daily activities.

What begins as soreness after physical activity can turn into a sharp, localised pain during movements like accelerating, kicking, or even simple actions such as coughing or sneezing.

One of the most common symptoms with a sportsman's hernia is chronic groin pain.

This is the hallmark of a sportsman’s hernia. The pain typically starts in the groin area and may radiate to the lower abdomen or inner thigh.
