Hamstring strain or tightness? Let’s talk about recovery.

Whether it started during sport, after a sudden movement, or crept in over time, hamstring pain is common and it needs the right balance of load and control.

The hamstrings work hard to support movement, posture and stability. Rest alone often isn’t enough.

What’s normal in recovery:
• Tightness or pulling sensations easing gradually
• Movement improving with the right exercises
• Strength rebuilding over time
• Confidence loading the muscle again

What we often see:
Some people stretch aggressively and irritate the muscle.
Others avoid loading it and lose strength.
Both can slow recovery.

Typical timelines (with rehab):
• Mild strain or tightness: 2–4 weeks
• Moderate strain: 4–8 weeks
• Recurrent or higher-grade strain: 8–12+ weeks

Pain settling doesn’t always mean the hamstring is fully recovered.
If it still feels weak, tight or vulnerable, it’s worth getting it assessed.

Simple exercises can play an important role in managing knee pain and supporting recovery.

The right movements can help improve strength, control and confidence in the knee, especially when symptoms are mild or early on. However, knee pain isn’t the same for everyone, and what works for one person may not be right for another.

A full physiotherapy assessment helps identify the cause of pain and ensures exercises are tailored, progressed appropriately and safe for you.

If knee pain is affecting your movement or confidence, booking an appointment with one of our physiotherapists can help guide a personalised recovery plan.

Could you confidently help if a colleague collapsed at work?

In an emergency, people don’t rise to the occasion, they fall back on what they’ve practised. Without proper training, hesitation and uncertainty are common, even with the best intentions.

First Aid at Work training gives people the confidence to act quickly, safely and effectively when it matters most.

If your workplace relies on “hoping someone will know what to do”, it may be time to change that.

Chair Pilates is a low-impact way to build strength, improve mobility and support posture, all while feeling supported and safe.

It’s particularly helpful for improving core control, balance and confidence in movement, and can be adapted to suit different abilities and needs.

We’ve recently introduced Chair Pilates sessions at Halo Physiotherapy as a new course, designed to support movement in a calm, structured environment.

If you’re interested in finding out whether Chair Pilates could be right for you, speak to a member of the team.

🩺 Wellness Wednesday - Menopause

Menopause affects every woman differently, but common symptoms can include hot flushes, disrupted sleep, low mood, joint aches, fatigue and changes in concentration.

It can impact physical health, emotional wellbeing and confidence in movement, often in ways people don’t immediately connect to menopause.
Lifestyle factors such as regular movement, strength training, good sleep routines, stress management and balanced nutrition can help support symptoms. For many women, guidance around treatment options can also make a significant difference.

If you’re experiencing symptoms, speaking with your GP can help you understand what’s happening and make informed decisions about management and treatment that’s right for you.

Tight muscles don’t fix themselves.

Muscle tension can build up gradually through work, training, stress or long periods of sitting.

Sports massage helps reduce stiffness, improve flexibility and restore movement in areas that feel tight or restricted. Common problem areas include the neck, shoulders, lower back, hips and calves.

If stiffness is affecting how you move or feel, sports massage can help.

These are some of the first exercises we use in knee rehab.

Simple. Effective. Often underestimated.
✔️ Suitable for early-stage recovery
✔️ Designed to restore movement, strength and control
✔️ Always progressed based on symptoms

Quad Sets
Lying on your back or sitting with your leg straight, gently tighten the thigh muscle and press the knee down. Hold briefly, then relax.
This helps wake up the muscles that support the knee.

Heel Slides
Lying on your back, slowly slide your heel towards your bottom and then back to straight.
This helps restore knee movement in a controlled way.

Straight Leg Raise
With one knee bent and the other straight, lift the straight leg slowly and with control.
This builds strength without overloading the knee.

Sit to Stand (High Chair)
Using a higher chair, stand up and sit down slowly and with control.
This rebuilds strength for everyday activities.

🟡 Important: These exercises are a starting point, not a full rehab plan. What’s right for one knee may not be right for another.

If you’re unsure when to progress, or your knee still doesn’t feel right, that’s your cue for a physiotherapy assessment.

Childhood Vaccinations

Childhood vaccines are carefully developed, tested and monitored to reduce the risk of serious illness and protect long-term health.

Vaccination programmes are based on strong clinical evidence. Over time, they have significantly reduced illnesses that once caused severe complications, hospital admissions and long-term harm in children.

Medicine continues to evolve. Vaccines are regularly reviewed and updated as our understanding improves. The childhood immunisation programme now includes protection against chickenpox, reflecting advances in research and public health knowledge.

In recent years, vaccination rates have dropped. When fewer children are immunised, the risk doesn’t just affect individuals. It increases the chance of outbreaks and places vulnerable children at greater risk.

High vaccination uptake is one of the most effective ways to:
• reduce the spread of illness
• protect children who are more vulnerable
• safeguard wider communities

If you have questions or concerns about childhood vaccines, your GP or healthcare professional is the right place to get reliable, evidence-based information.

Protecting children’s health protects everyone’s health.

First Aid at Work training is about being prepared, not just being compliant.

Emergencies at work are rare, but when they happen, the response matters. Knowing how to act quickly, calmly and safely can reduce harm, protect colleagues and save lives.

At Halo Physiotherapy, our First Aid at Work courses are practical, accredited and designed to build real confidence. Training focuses on hands-on skills, clear decision-making and realistic workplace scenarios, not just theory.

Courses cover essential areas including:
• CPR and AED use
• choking and airway management
• bleeding, shock and burns
• recognising and responding to medical emergencies
• employer responsibilities and workplace readiness

Training is suitable for individuals, small businesses and larger teams, with options for in-clinic courses or group bookings.

Whether you’re updating expired certification, meeting workplace requirements, or wanting your team to feel genuinely prepared, the right training makes a difference.

Knee pain? Let’s talk about recovery.

Whether it came on gradually, after an injury, or without a clear cause, knee pain is common and it deserves the right approach.

The knee relies on strength, control and movement from the muscles around it. Rest alone often isn’t enough.

What’s normal in recovery:
• Mild swelling or stiffness, especially after activity
• Movement gradually improving with the right exercises
• Strength rebuilding over time
• Confidence trusting the knee again

What we often see:
Some people push through pain and irritate the knee.
Others avoid loading it altogether and lose strength.
Both can slow recovery.

Typical timelines (with rehab):
• Mild knee pain: 2–4 weeks
• Moderate knee pain: 4–8 weeks
• Ongoing or recurrent pain: 8–12+ weeks

Pain settling doesn’t always mean the knee is fully recovered.
If your knee still feels weak, stiff, or unreliable, it’s worth getting it assessed.

Recognising Isolation in Older Adults

Loneliness and social isolation can quietly affect older adults, particularly at this time of year.

Changes in routine, reduced mobility, health concerns or the loss of loved ones can all make it harder to stay connected. Often it isn’t obvious, and people don’t always say they’re struggling.

Signs someone may be becoming isolated can include:
• withdrawing from activities they used to enjoy
• fewer phone calls or visits
• changes in mood, sleep or motivation
• declining confidence getting out and about

If you have an older relative, neighbour or friend, a simple check-in can make a real difference. A call, a visit, or an invitation for a short walk or coffee can help someone feel seen and supported.

If you’re older yourself, staying socially connected matters too. Gentle social activity supports mental wellbeing, confidence and physical health. Even small, regular interactions count.

This Wellness Wednesday, let’s remember how powerful connection can be.
