Do you have a sore neck, shoulder or back?

I have recently completed a level 5 Upper body injury management and rehabilitation course and I’m pleased to say it was everything I hoped it would be.

Feed back today from a client with a lingering shoulder issue seems to agree.

Help required!
Morning all, my daughter is hoping to apply for Veterinary at uni.
In order to help her meet the course application requirements she needs some more work experience in the following areas;
Small practice vet, farm experience or stable work.
If anyone has contacts that might be able to help we’d be very grateful. Ideally South of Bristol but open to suggestions.
Thank you
John

Some wise words from Dr Xand, I see a lot of clients with neck and shoulder pain and our current lifestyle of computers and mobiles is certainly not helping.

If you have minor issues you don’t want to become major ones, I have availability from September 2nd. 👍

Rising from the ashes...

Hot on the heels of a memorable career in Avon Fire and Rescue Service, my new passion continues my desire to interact with and help people.

Now a member of FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) I trained with the fantastic Cotswold Academy in Cirencester where I achieved an ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy in 2018 and, an ITEC Level 4 Certificate in Sports Massage Therapy in 2019.

I’ve always had a passion for sport with cycling being my number one hobby. Over the years I’ve taken part in many cycling events both on and off road and I’ve also enjoyed a quick sprint around the velodrome.

I played softball for ten years for Bristol team The Guppies, always first division and occasional champions. Success on and off the pitch meant hooking up with my wife of 16 years, Rebecca, another Guppies player at the time.
