Want to move better? Or maybe you’ve got aches and pains in your back, hips or legs you can’t quite work out…? We do gait analysis, using Footscan technology. That’s basically a fancy way of saying we digitally analyse the way you move, so that our fantastic physio team can precisely identify any issues. And if there are any, they can treat them – precisely, and accurately.

Because we’re not just relying on visual assessment, like standard gait analysis, it means there’s no guesswork - which means more accurate treatments and quicker results.

So if you're an athlete wanting to improve performance, or want to move more easily and pain-free, Footscan is a game-changer.

Even better, if you need any orthopedic supports we can get them 3D-printed using your Footscan measurements. Better then millimetre-perfect, custom-made supports. Paula Radcliffe swears by hers!

📚 In case you missed it, we're absolutely delighted to share some wonderful news! Our brilliant holistic therapist Diane Carole has just published her book "From ME to Me - A Journey of Healing, Reiki, and Rediscovering Myself."

Diane's part of our TLC team, helping clients with reiki, reflexology and massage treatments. Now she's sharing her deeply personal 25-year journey with ME, along with all the healing techniques, affirmations, and practical tools that supported her along the way.

What we love the most about her massive achievement is her honesty. Diane's fear kept her from publishing for two years – but she faced that fear and published it. And we’re so happy that she did.

The book is available in paperback, on Kindle, and free for 3 months on Kindle Unlimited. You can find it here: https://amzn.eu/d/0svndmz

If you know someone who might find comfort in Diane's story, please do share. Sometimes the most powerful healing comes from knowing we're not alone 💙

Summer might be over (boo!) but if you’re starting to think about next year’s adventure (yay!) bear in mind that – depending on where you’re thinking of going – you might need to plan ahead for vaccinations. And some treatments need to be done quite a bit in advance. If you need advice, our registered nurse Anna is a travel health specialist and will keep you right.

🙏Thanks for your time and thanks for allowing me to study your irises.

👆This is exactly why we do what we do. When you get a sports massage with Craig, he’s not just sorting out the immediate problem - he's looking at the bigger picture, working out what might be causing issues, and giving you the tools to keep moving well.

Craig’s specialisation is in treating sports injuries, so his sport massages combine traditional massage with modern sports therapy techniques. And he works closely with our physio team if or when you need that extra support.

As Iain says in his review, don’t leave it too long – book an appointment by giving us a call on 01436 672677 or book an appointment online https://bit.ly/TLCsportsmassage

And thanks for your review, Iain!

Getting older doesn't mean slowing down - it just means getting a bit smarter about how we move.

Rachael's exercise classes are perfect if you want to stay active but also want to do it safely. We've got two levels: "From the Chair" for building strength gently, and "Beyond the Chair" for more of a challenge. Everyone progresses at their own pace, and there's absolutely no pressure.

What makes these classes different is that they're designed by physiotherapists (and you’ll see physio Sakshi at the start and end of each block) and led by Rachael, who's qualified in exercise referral. So it's not just about fitness - it's about moving in ways that actually improve your daily life. Things like climbing stairs without getting breathless, carrying shopping, or just feeling steady on your feet.

Classes are at The Bridge (Helensburgh Parish Church, off Colquhoun Square The Bridge - Helensburgh Parish Church Halls) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and they have a lovely, friendly community feel. Come and join us! Call 01436 672677 for more information or to book in.

We might be dodging showers now, but did you make the most of the gorgeous weather over the summer? It was great to get outdoors a bit more to enjoy it all – and hopefully there’s a few days still to come. Sometimes, though, all that extra activity means your muscles need a little extra care.

Meet Craig. He’s our expert in sports injury and sports massage. Despite the name, sports massage isn't just for professional athletes – it’s for anyone who wants to keep doing the things they love without being held back by tight muscles, aches or pains. Craig’s brilliant at working out exactly what your body needs, and he’s so friendly you’ll feel completely at ease even if you’ve never had a sports massage before.

Give us a call on 01436 672677 to book in – or you can book online at https://bit.ly/TLCsportsmassage

Because life’s too short to be sidelined by something that could be easily sorted.

📚✨ Two books, two brilliant colleagues, one very proud clinic!

Our holistic therapist Diane has published her deeply personal journey with ME - "From ME to Me" is filled with healing wisdom and the practical tools that supported her 25-year journey.

Meanwhile, our iridologist Carolyn has published her groundbreaking research identifying risk factors for glaucoma (conducted right here in Helensburgh), exploring new ways to detect this "silent thief of sight" earlier.

We're so happy to have such talented, caring practitioners who don't just help in the treatment room but share their knowledge with the wider world. ❤️

Both books are available now! Swipe for more details ➡️

(And if you took part in Carolyn's research, she'll be in touch with you soon.)
