Meet the newest member of our team, Fiona! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Fiona will be joining our team on a temporary basis until at least October, with the possibility of extending beyond that. She has an exciting period ahead personally, including family plans to relocate to New Zealand! ๐Ÿฅ

In the meantime, weโ€™re delighted to welcome another highly motivated and skilled MSK physiotherapist to the team, and we look forward to the expertise and enthusiasm she brings.

Fiona is a motivated MSK physiotherapist who graduated with First Class Honours from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2023. Her strong academic foundation, combined with valuable clinical experience in the NHS, allows her to deliver care across a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. โ€‹

Before qualifying as a physiotherapist, Fiona worked for two years as a Band 4 Therapy Assistant within orthopaedics in NHS Lanarkshire. This early experience gave her a solid understanding of post-operative rehabilitation, orthopaedic injuries and multidisciplinary team working. โ€‹

Following graduation, Fiona secured a rotational post within the NHS, gaining broad clinical experience across multiple specialties. She later progressed into her specialist role in musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy, where she has worked for the past two years, developing particular expertise in sports injuries, rehabilitation and return-to-play programmes. Fiona recently completed a secondment in hand therapy, enhancing her skills in upper limb rehabilitation, tendon injuries and post-surgical recovery.

Alongside her clinical role, Fiona works as physiotherapist for Hamilton Bulls, supporting athletes with injury management, rehabilitation and performance optimisation. She has previously provided physiotherapy support to Motherwell F.C. and the Caledonia Gladiators, gaining valuable experience in elite and semi-professional sport. โ€‹

Outside of work, Fiona practices what she preaches. She regularly competes in triathlons, is currently training for her first marathon, and has ambitions to complete an Ironman later this year. When sheโ€™s not training, she enjoys hiking Scotlandโ€™s Munros with her two dogs. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•โ›ฐ๏ธ

Physio-led massageโ€ฆ what is it? ๐Ÿฆต๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ช

At McAvoy Thurley Physiotherapy, our massage services are delivered by qualified physiotherapists with detailed knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, pain science and injury rehabilitation.

That means:

โ€ข We select techniques based on assessment findings.
โ€ข We understand tissue healing timelines.
โ€ข We adapt pressure and approach to your injury history.
โ€ข We link hands-on treatment to your goals.

The techniques highlighted in this post (and their underlying science) arenโ€™t chosen at random. Theyโ€™re selected because evidence shows massage therapy can help reduce pain, improve short-term mobility and support recovery when appropriately applied. Our team are experienced (and qualified) to know when itโ€™s inappropriate and something else is at play.

This isnโ€™t a full physiotherapy consultation. But it is targeted, clinically informed hands-on treatment.

Ideal for:

โœ” Ongoing muscle tension
โœ” Training load aches
โœ” Desk-related stiffness
โœ” Supporting rehab plans
โœ” Maintaining performance

Youโ€™ll leave feeling the difference and understanding your body a little better too.

Purposeful treatment. Backed by evidence. Delivered with physiotherapy precision.

Getting in the festive spirit in our Bothwell Road practice! โ„๏ธ

Our top tips for the holidays? ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸŽ„ 1. Keep moving (little & often)

Long periods of sitting increase stiffness and aches. Aim for short walks or gentle movement breaks throughout the day, even 5โ€“10 minutes helps joint health and circulation.

๐ŸŽ 2. Back pain after lifting is commonโ€ฆ but often settles!

Lifting presents, bags or boxes can trigger back pain. So can sitting in the same position too long! However, most episodes improve with sensible activity, movement and avoiding bed rest. If pain persists or worsens, our physio team is here to help.

๐Ÿฅ‚ 3. Balance indulgence with recovery!

Late nights, alcohol and rich food can impact sleep and recovery. Stay hydrated, prioritise sleep where possible and add light stretching or mobility to help your body bounce back.

Weโ€™re available as normal this week, before some limited availability from the 22nd December to 5th January. ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

Please contact us for any availability issues and we will do our best to accommodate where possible. You can also book online with slots open through to January 2026.

Welcome to the Haunted Practice... Where outdated myths, scary sales tactics and spooky โ€œalignmentโ€ stories still roam free.

๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธ This Halloween, weโ€™re calling out the monsters of misinformation and shining a light on what evidence-based physiotherapy really looks like. ๐Ÿ”ฆ

โš ๏ธ If youโ€™ve ever been told:

โ€“ โ€œYouโ€™re out of alignmentโ€
โ€“ โ€œYou need surgery before trying physioโ€
โ€“ โ€œJust rest that tendonโ€
โ€“ โ€œWeโ€™ll fix you with a 6-session packageโ€

โ€ฆ then itโ€™s time to escape the haunted house and find real rehab.

Swipe through our โ€˜Haunted Practiceโ€™ post to uncover the biggest myths haunting our industry and see how modern physiotherapy puts science before superstition.

๐Ÿง  Movement. Load. Education. Recovery.

Thatโ€™s not witchcraft - thatโ€™s evidence-based practice. โœ”๏ธ
