Gardening season is kicking off!! Sunshine 🌞 keeps popping out and the temptation to head off into the garden for hours is upon us! Just remember, ask yourself 'What's the weekly average time I've spent in the garden over the last 3 weeks?' .....If the answer is very little then don't plan for a mammoth session this weekend.
The body usually works off consistency. If you suddenly increase an activity it hasn't been consistently doing ...chances are you are going to feel it somewhere afterwards.
Start small and build consistently each week. Think.. vary your postures, use the hips and knees to bend low, as able, and try not to just bend at the back all the time..... take breaks......but enjoy ☀️❤️
Get in touch and book in for physio support if you're struggling and I'll try and get you back on track.

☔🌧️☔ What a lovely day!! Get your 'brolly out and thermals on! Or just stay in the warmth and keep out the wet!
The old wife's tale of 'feeling the rain in my bones' holds some weight from different research.
Although not fully understood why, some people may feel more stiff and uncomfortable if it rains, the air pressure drops and wind levels rise ! 🌬️
Some possible explanations are:
* Low air pressure may allow soft tissues/scar tissue to expand = increased pressure.
* Increase in viscosity of synovial fluid (joint lubricant) = stiffer joints.
*Pressure change could trigger nerve sensitivity in the joint capsule
*We perhaps become less active in times of wet, cold weather which leads to further stiffness.

Top tips:
* Wrap up warm with layers
* Use a neoprene wrap/ support around the joint
* Keep up with little exercises
* Fly abroad!! ✈️ .... And come back when it's warmer 😂

Evening all 😍 I like this simple picture supporting how we notice our abilities and pain tolerance changes after an injury. ⚡ Of course our new, repairing tissue has a new level of overall tolerance (which will likely improve over time) BUT our brain (fuelled by beliefs and past experiences and level of fear/anxiety) will create a very different level of protection in every individual. 🤯
My role as a physio is to help give reassurance where it is due and guide each of you to building and accepting new levels of function, load and activity 🤸⛹️🚴🏋️🧗🏇🤺⛷️🪂🧚! Get you back to your best 💪🤛

Hi peeps 🥰 The busy clinics have meant I've been slipping on keeping up on my social media! Apologies all...🙏
'Variety Is The Spice of Life'...... For the body that means share the day with different postures. If you sit a lot - stand walk and stretch back over. If you stand a lot - sit, bend forwards or squat down to open the posterior part of the spine up.
You notice your bum gets sore when you sit still too long. The spine and other weight bearing structures have similar grumbles from being in one position too much. Keep up the variety ❤️ Take care

Hi. Check out my first ever Reel 🫣! Talking briefly about changing your postures through the day to give Variety and hopefully limit back pain episodes and flare ups. Take care 🙏

What’s the story...

Greetings if you have landed on this page. I hope you are healthy and well. My name is Edd Shaw, a musculoskeletal physiotherapist (sports injuries, neck and back pain.....all things muscle, tendon, joint, nerve based) qualified since 2001.

I started this clinic up in 2011 on evenings around other work and gradually increased hours and days as the client list and word of mouth grew. I hope to be able to keep the service accessible and affordable as set out in my original plan and help keep people as mobile and as healthy as I can to get back or keep doing whatever they love to do.

We provide a thorough consultation with tailored treatment programmes to help you get back to enjoying life, as pain free as possible. We also offer evening and weekend appointments as well as home visits should you struggle to make it to our clinics.

Special packages are available to help get the best results at the best price.
