Fridays are my favourite, working alongside my husband, both of us back-to-back with clients all day. But in the middle of the chaos, we steal 15 minutes for a cuppa, a kiss, and a moment to ground each other before the next round begins. We both truly love what we do, and building a family business together makes it even more special 🥰

If we could give one piece of advice when it comes to physiotherapy and rehabilitation, it would be this:

Keep it simple. Keep it specific.

A lot of people come into clinic overwhelmed. They’ve been given 15 exercises, watched endless videos online, or seen fancy rehab routines on social media that look impressive but nobody has properly explained why they’re doing them.

That “fancy” exercise might look great on TikTok, but is it actually appropriate for your presentation?

That’s the key question.

Every exercise should have a purpose.

Are we trying to:
• Mobilise a stiff joint?
• Reduce stress on another area?
• Improve stability?
• Create activation?
• Improve confidence in movement?
• Reduce sensitivity and pain?
• Improve control and movement quality?

There always needs to be reasoning behind what we prescribe.

Good rehabilitation isn’t about doing the most complicated exercise possible. It’s about understanding the individual in front of you and applying the right intervention at the right time.

Sometimes the simplest exercises are the most effective, when they’re specific to the problem, specific to the person, and progressed appropriately.

At Rae’s Anatomy Physiotherapy, we focus on building rehabilitation around you, not around trends or flashy exercises.

Simple. Specific. Effective.

Struggling with a stubborn injury that just won’t go away?

Shockwave Therapy could be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.

Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged or painful tissues.

Delivered through the skin via a handheld device, it targets the source of your pain to kickstart your body’s natural recovery process.

What can it help with?

Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for long-standing tendon and soft tissue injuries, including:

Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
Tennis elbow
Golfer’s elbow
Shoulder pain (rotator cuff / calcific tendinopathy)
Hip pain (greater trochanteric pain syndrome)

Why consider shockwave?
✅ Designed for injuries that haven’t improved with rest or standard treatment
✅ Helps reduce pain and improve function
✅ Gets you back to doing what you enjoy - faster

What to expect
Improvements often begin after 1–3 sessions
Continued progress over the following weeks
Best results when combined with a tailored rehab programme

Clinical success rates are commonly reported at 60–80%+ for many conditions.

Ready to get back to moving properly again?

If you’re dealing with a persistent injury and want to move better, recover faster, and feel like yourself again, shockwave therapy could be the solution.

Balance Training in Rehabilitation

Balance is one of the most versatile tools we use in rehab.

It can help with:
✔️ Neck injury
✔️ Vestibular (dizziness) issues
✔️ Post-surgery recovery
✔️ Lower limb injuries
✔️ Improving stability as we age

Working on your balance improves coordination, strength, and confidence in everyday movements.

Here are a few simple exercises to get you started (see video):

Start with support if needed and build it up gradually 👍

🍩 "Hmmm Donuts"… you may have heard the analogy: “disc bulges are like jam donuts.”

But is that actually true? And more importantly… is this something to worry about?

👉 Short answer: not really it’s often completely normal.

If you’ve ever had a scan and been told you have a disc bulge, it can sound worrying.

But here’s what most people aren’t told 👇

👉 Disc bulges are incredibly common — even in people with NO pain.
(Jensen et al., 1994; Brinjikji et al., 2015)

👉 They increase with age (just like wrinkles).
(Brinjikji et al., 2015)

👉 What shows on a scan doesn’t always match how you feel.
Bigger bulge ≠ more pain
Smaller bulge ≠ less pain
(Brinjikji et al., 2015; Kasch et al., 2022)

👉 They’re not always permanent.
Disc bulges can shrink and sometimes resolve over time.
(Kesikburun et al., 2019; Zhong et al., 2017)

👉 Your spine is strong and adaptable.
Discs aren’t fragile like a donut. They respond well to the right kind of movement and loading.
(Belavý et al., 2017; Trompeter et al., 2025)

💡 So what does this mean for you?

A disc bulge doesn’t automatically mean your back is damaged.
It doesn’t mean you need to stop moving.
And it doesn’t define what you can or can’t do.

Your body is resilient, adaptable, and capable of change💪🏌🏃‍♀️.

⚠️ Just a quick note:
Everyone’s situation is different. If you’re unsure about your symptoms or things aren’t improving, it’s always best to get assessed by a healthcare professional.

Dizziness can feel confusing 🤔

Many expect there to be one clear cause.

But in reality, symptoms often sit in the overlap between:
• Inner ear (balance system)
• Neck & movement
• Migraine / brain sensitivity
• Brain (processing & integration)
• Stress & the nervous system

That’s why we don’t just focus on one label.

We take the time to:
✔ Make sure you’re safe
✔ Understand the full picture
✔ Identify what’s driving your symptoms
✔ Build a plan around you

Because the goal isn’t just a diagnosis…

It’s helping you feel steady, confident, and back to yourself again.

A quick hello from Rae’s Anatomy Physiotherapy 👋

We recently had someone walk into the clinic who had no idea we were here! Which got us thinking… we might still be one of the area’s best kept secrets 🌟

So, if you’ve just come across us, welcome.

At Rae’s Anatomy Physiotherapy, we do things a little differently.

Our approach isn’t just about treating an injury; it’s about understanding the full picture. That means how you move, how you feel, and what’s actually stopping you from getting back to normal.

We place a big emphasis on both physical and psychological recovery. Injury can be frustrating, stressful, and at times overwhelming, which is why we’re one of the few clinics with direct access to psychological support as part of your care.

Alongside physiotherapy, we also offer massage therapy 💆‍♂️ whether that’s to help ease symptoms, support recovery, or as a standalone treatment.

Most importantly, we aim to create a welcoming space where you feel listened to, understood, and supported from day one.

You’ll find us at 📍 Old Station Buildings, Burntisland, so why not turn your appointment into a wee afternoon in town? Walk along the beach, grab a coffee on the high street, pop into the bakery, get an ice cream, or pick up some high-quality local veg and meat for dinner.

You will also find us in Glenrothes on a Monday at Riverside Therapies -Balbirnie Health Centre.

So, if you’ve been dealing with a ni**le, injury, or something that just doesn’t feel right and you’ve been putting it off, now’s a good time to get it looked at!

Here is a recent client testimonial 👇

"I've seen Marcus Rae 3 times now for different reasons and each time he has been fantastic. He gives you the time you need and talks through every step of his assessment so that it makes sense to you. He shows due diligence and attention to making sure that you are given the treatment that you need to make sure that your ailments and issues are fixed and I can't fault him!"
