💔 So many NHS hydrotherapy pools are closing. Quietly. Permanently. And it's devastating. It's not new news, closures have been happening around the country for years. A precious resource, inaccessible to many.

Hydrotherapy isn’t a luxury.
It’s not just “nice to have.”
For so many, it’s a lifeline.

💧 For those recovering from surgery, or an injury, who can’t yet rehabilitate on land or need that little extra bonus that hydro can add
💧 For people in pain who feel forgotten
💧 For anyone who’s lost confidence in their body

I’ve seen the difference aquatic therapy makes — the relief, the progress, the hope it brings.
It’s gentle. It’s powerful. It works.

That’s why I feel so incredibly lucky to still be able to offer hydrotherapy at Trust Physio in Biggleswade, based Saxon Pool and Leisure Centre

Whether you're struggling after an injury, managing a long-term condition, or just need a different way to move — you are not out of options.

💦 Hydrotherapy can really get you on the road to recovery, lets get you better and keep you better.

🔹 When Should You Seek Urgent Help for Back Pain? 🔹

At Trust Physio, we understand that back pain can be worrying — but in most cases, it’s not serious and will settle with the right support.

However, there are a few rare but important warning signs to be aware of. This short video from the MACP (Musculoskeletal Association of Chartered Physiotherapists) clearly explains when it’s important to seek urgent medical attention:

🦶 Rolled Your Ankle? You Deserve More Than Just “Walk It Off”…
Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries — whether from sport, a missed step, or uneven ground.
And while it might seem minor, the truth is:
⚠️ Up to 40% of people with ankle sprains go on to have long-term issues like pain, instability, and repeated injuries — especially without the right rehab.
✨ At Trust Physio, we believe in more than just “rest and hope.”
You deserve individualised, evidence-based care that supports your recovery every step of the way.
🛠️ What Does Best-Practice Rehab Look Like?
✔️ Early movement — not just rest
✔️ Strengthening the muscles around your ankle
✔️ Balance and control retraining
✔️ Gradual return-to-activity planning
✔️ Manual therapy if stiffness or swelling is limiting progress
🧠 Research shows that structured physiotherapy not only reduces the risk of re-injury, but helps you move with confidence and control again.
💬 Whether you're an athlete or simply want to walk without worry — we’re here to help you heal well, feel steady, and get back to what matters most.
📍At Trust Physio, we tailor every rehab plan to you — because your recovery deserves nothing less.
📩 Get in touch today for expert, personalised support.

Let’s talk elbows!!

🎾 Tennis Elbow – And No, You Don’t Have to Play Tennis to Get It!
📌 Are you aged 35–60 and noticing:
🔹 Pain or burning on the outside of your elbow
🔹 Grip weakness (opening jars, lifting the kettle, shaking hands)
🔹 Pain that worsens with typing, tools, or even lifting your phone?
You might have Tennis Elbow – or more accurately, Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy.
🧠 This is a common overuse condition — especially in people who:
🔸 Work with their hands (plumbers, decorators, hairdressers)
🔸 Do repetitive gripping or lifting
🔸 Use a mouse or keyboard for long hours
🔸 Or suddenly increase their activity (DIY, gardening, gym)
🛠️ Can physiotherapy help?
Absolutely! Research strongly supports physiotherapy as the first-line treatment for tennis elbow.
Here’s what we focus on:
✔️ Targeted loading exercises to rebuild tendon tolerance
✔️ Hands-on techniques for short-term relief
✔️ Activity modification (without total rest)
✔️ Advice that puts you in control of your recovery
✔️ Taping or bracing if needed during flare-ups
💥 Don’t wait for it to “go away on its own” — early rehab leads to faster, better outcomes.
👋 If elbow pain is interfering with work, hobbies, or life — message us today. Let’s get you back doing what you love, pain-free.

Let’s talk shoulder pain …….

✅ Post 2: Surgery or Physio for Shoulder Pain? Here’s What the Research Says
📣 If you’ve been told you have a rotator cuff issue, you might think surgery is inevitable — but that’s not what the evidence says.

📊 High-quality research shows physiotherapy can be just as effective (and often better long-term) than surgery for many cases of rotator cuff-related shoulder pain.
✅ Fewer risks
✅ Lower costs
✅ Less downtime
✅ Improved long-term outcomes
🛠️ What does physiotherapy involve?
✔️ Education so you understand your pain
✔️ Targeted exercises to improve strength and control
✔️ Hands-on treatment/ taping/ acupuncture if needed
✔️ A personalised plan to help you get back to what you love
🚫 Don’t let pain hold you back — and don’t rush into surgery.
✅ Let’s explore the conservative, evidence-based route first.

Get in touch if you’re dealing with shoulder pain and take the first step to getting you the personalised care you need. We'd love to help!

🧭 What Does Best-Practice Physiotherapy Really Look Like?
(An honest answer from Trust Physio)

At Trust Physio, we believe in giving you more than a generic exercise sheet or a quick fix. Best-practice physiotherapy means delivering care that is:
✔️ Evidence-based
✔️ Personalised
✔️ Honest
✔️ Supportive

🤝 Partnering with You to Achieve the Results You Want
✅ We listen first.
Understanding your story, the challenges you face, and how your issue affects your life is the foundation of great care.

✅ We’re honest.
If recovery will take time or effort, we’ll tell you — kindly and clearly.
If something doesn’t need treatment, we’ll say that too.
No scare tactics. No over-treatment. Just transparency and support.

✅ We explain what’s going on.
You’ll leave your session understanding your body better, with no jargon and no fear — just the information you need to move forward with confidence.

✅ Your rehab is tailored to you.
Every plan is built around your life, your strengths, and what “better” means to you as an individual — not a generic protocol.
We’ll guide you, adapt when needed, and make sure your rehab fits your unique challenges.

✅ We combine active rehab with hands-on care (when appropriate).
You’ll never be reliant on us — the goal is to build your independence and confidence, not keep you coming back endlessly.

✅ We check in, adapt, and progress together.

Recovery isn’t always a straight line.

We’re here for the ups and downs, to adjust your plan and keep you heading in the right direction.

💬 At Trust Physio, we aim to treat you as a whole person — not just a body part or a diagnosis.

If you’re looking for real answers, expert support, and a clear plan grounded in honesty and evidence — we’d be glad to help when you’re ready.

✅ Post 1: Understanding Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain
🌀 Is shoulder pain getting in the way of daily life?
You may be dealing with Rotator Cuff-Related Shoulder Pain (RCRSP) — one of the most common causes of shoulder pain, especially in people aged 40+.

🧐 Common symptoms include:
🔹 Pain when reaching overhead or behind your back
🔹 Pain that disrupts sleep (especially lying on the sore side)
🔹 Weakness or clicking with arm movements
🔹 Difficulty with tasks like putting on a jacket or lifting shopping

💡 What’s important to know?
Pain doesn’t always equal damage. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that help keep your shoulder stable — and in many cases, pain is linked to overload or control issues, not a tear that needs surgery.

📢 Early assessment is key. The right guidance can prevent pain from becoming persistent or limiting your lifestyle.

👍 Watch out for Part 2 where we’ll talk about why physiotherapy (not surgery) is the first line of treatment — and how it works.
