Some of you might know and some might not....

Before we became a collective & Injury Mechanics… I used to be Performa Therapy. Sorting bits at the new clinic in Leyland and I spotted this old questionnaire.

This questionnaire says everything about how I’ve always worked.

It wasn’t just forms, it was about understanding:
✔️ Your short-term goals
✔️ Your long-term direction
✔️ Your expectations from treatment

Because here’s the truth, if you don’t understand expectations then you either overpromise or underdeliver.

We’ve never done either.

From day one, it’s been about being:

🧠 Person-focused, not just treating an injury, treating you
📞 Support beyond the clinic, guidance doesn’t stop when you leave
📊 Evidence-based, not guesswork, not trends, just what works

Fast forward to now, and that same philosophy sits at the heart of the Injury Mechanics collective.

The name has changed.
The team has grown.
But the standard hasn’t.

Clear expectations. Honest conversations. Real results.

The Sheriff’s in town 🤠

Great to have Jim — the Sheriff of Lancashire — back in the clinic this week 🙌
After a successful year in post, it’s now time for a well-earned adventure… and we’ve been helping him get there the right way 👇

✔️ Moving better
✔️ Building strength
✔️ Staying pain-free

All geared towards an upcoming walking adventure in sunnier climates ☀️🌍
Jim’s been a long-term friend of the clinic, and it’s been a pleasure to support him not just through his role, but in preparing for what’s next.

This is what it’s all about — not just treatment, but helping people stay active, capable, and ready for whatever challenge they take on next.

More than just “rub a dubbers.”

🇭🇰🐾 What an experience!

Nicola and Fever competed at the Longines Hong Kong International Horse Show in its first ever dog agility competition 🤯

Across 5 rounds they came away with:
🥇 1st place
🥈 2 x 2nd places

All against an incredible field of international dogs and handlers 🌍

Before travelling, Nicola was in the clinic this week for treatment and to make sure everything felt moving well ahead of the demands of competing on the big stage 💪

Fever travelled in style, flying on a private charter with , arriving via ✈️🐶

A huge moment, a brilliant atmosphere, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Great day back at the University of Lancashire speaking to the 3rd year Sports Therapy students as an alumni.

I really enjoyed sharing my journey so far. Such as early clinical work, mental health settings, and sport, through running a clinic now. Hopefully giving a realistic picture of what a Sports Therapy career can look like beyond graduation.

Equally great to hear from the other alumni too, with some brilliant pathways, experiences, and perspectives in the room!

Always happy to give back to the course that started it all, and hopefully help the next group of therapists feel a bit more confident about what comes next.

👏 Thanks for having me.

🇭🇰🐕 Hong Kong International Horse Show – Agility Debut!

Our sponsored athlete Nicola and her dog Fever are competing at the first ever agility event to be held at the Hong Kong International Horse Show 🤯

✈️ Fever has travelled over on a private plane commissioned specially for the animals

🏃‍♀️ Competing in 5 events over 3 days
🏟️ Huge arena
🏖️ Deep, freshly laid sand for the humans to run on

😁From a rehab & therapy perspective:

Nicola has been doing great work on mobility since landing to adapt to the surface and arena demands — so they should be good to go 💪
Good luck Nicola & Fever — an incredible moment for UK & GB agility on the world stage 🌍
