July was a month of travels for Terri as she did some work with Scottish Rugby Union regional development teams.
August brought about a slight switch in sport to Scottish Touch Rugby, where she worked with national teams at the Youth Atlantic Cup and the European Seniors Touch Cup.

So now, back to the normal rhythm of clinics and the return of strength and balance classes.

Please get in touch if you want information or to book an appointment 😊

Monday Motivation 🤝

Your Monday morning reminder to make the problem you have been putting off a priority.

Our physio's can get to the bottom of your problem during your assessment and leave you with a program to work on at home to help.

Sports Massage might just be what you need- Finn is around on Tuesday and Friday evenings to help loosen off those tight bits.

❓❔One of the most common things people ask is: why am I in pain?

Most people assume that pain or injury must come from a specific moment- an injury, a fall, twisting your ankle 😵‍💫🤔

Often there is no single event- pain can be the result of a built up and is your body's way of saying "nope I've had enough" 😠

Think of it like an iceberg, the pain is just the tip.

The causes could include a range of things:
A sudden increase in your load
Sitting too long without moving
Not sleeping as well as you would normally
Stress
Or even just bad luck

But don't panic about it, yes you have pain but let's focus on how we move forward. Once we understand the "why" we can build a plan to prevent it happening again 💪

PEACE & LOVE ☮️❤️

In 2019 replaced the traditional more well recognised PRICE with an updated acronym.

When you get injured, your body needs more than just rest — it needs the right approach to heal fully.

✨ P.E.A.C.E & L.O.V.E is a modern framework guiding you through each stage of recovery:

PEACE for your acute injury management, generally over the first 2-3 days after injury

✅ Protect — Reduce pain and avoid aggravating activities.
✅ Elevate — Keep the injury higher than your heart.
✅ Avoid Anti-inflammatories — They can slow down healing.
✅ Compression — Support healing tissues.
✅ Educate — Listen to your body and avoid unnecessary treatments.

LOVE is for continued rehab and return to activity.

❤️ Load — Gradually return to movement guided by pain levels.
❤️ Optimism — A positive mindset fuels recovery.
❤️ Vascularisation — Gentle cardio to boost circulation.
❤️ Exercise — Restore strength and mobility actively.

Whether you’ve had a sprain, strain, or soft tissue injury, remember: healing is a process. Let us guide you every step of the way.

🙌 Need help recovering safely? Get in touch with us today.

Just a heads up for anyone coming to appointments next week, please leave yourselves some extra time to get there in case the roads are a bit busier!

Road users are advised that the B9005 south of Ellon will be closed to traffic for 5 days from Monday (May 26) to allow us to undertake surface patching works.

Access will be provided for emergency services and vehicles requiring access to immediate properties.

Owing to the requirement that a diversion must use roads which are the same class as the one that is closed, the recommended detour is via the B9005, A920, A948 and A90.

We appreciate that working on roads can cause some inconvenience to users, but we would ask that you bear with us as we carry out these essential improvements.

Remember if you have myAberdeenshire you can sign up for email alerts for road closures and restrictions via the myAberdeenshire dashboard at https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/my/ or visit https://online.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/apps/roadworks/
