He has significant experience in occupational health and the care of musculoskeletal conditions in both industry and the private sector. Through working in these areas, he has developed a reputation for producing positive outcomes for patients that are both effective,efficient and cost effective for the customer. Whilst having extensive experience in occupational health, he also has special interest the early in intervention of spinal injuries, and returning patients to full function as soon as possible who suffer from upper limb problems. To enhance his knowledge and effectiveness on this area he has attended many courses from leaders in the field. Since 2006, Graham has been a part of Barrow Raiders Rugby League medical team.

Many people set overly ambitious goals that can feel overwhelming and hard to maintain. By focusing on smaller, manageable steps, you're much more likely to build sustainable habits without the risk of burnout.

✅ This approach makes it easier to fit into your daily routine while gradually increasing your fitness level.
✅ Celebrate the small victories, as they provide a sense of achievement that motivates further progress.
Remember, even the tiniest steps forward can lead to significant improvements over time.

Ready to jump on the "New Year, New You" bandwagon?
Here's a lesser-known tip: instead of setting sweeping resolutions, focus on your daily habits. Habits form the bedrock of our lives and often hold the key to meaningful change.
Why does this matter? When we try to overhaul our entire life with grand resolutions, it can feel overwhelming, making it easy to abandon them. However, small, consistent changes—like drinking an extra glass of water every day or dedicating five minutes to mindfulness—can lead to significant results over time.
It's those manageable, everyday actions that help solidify long-lasting change.
As you embark on your New Year plans, remember it’s perfectly okay to start small. Celebrate tiny victories, because each step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to the person you want to be.
Here's to a fantastic year ahead!

✨ New Year, New You Insight: As we enter a new year, it's a great time to think about your goals. Instead of just focusing on the results you want, consider setting up systems that will help you get there. This small shift can truly change your approach!
🚦 Details: Many of us view our resolutions as endpoints—such as losing 10 pounds, running a marathon, or saving a certain sum of money. But what if you concentrated on the daily actions and routines that will guide you towards these outcomes? For instance, rather than simply aiming to lose weight, why not focus on establishing a regular routine for preparing healthy meals or going for a daily walk? These small, achievable actions can lay the foundation for reaching your larger goals.
💡 Encouragement: Embrace the journey and enjoy cultivating habits that genuinely enhance your well-being. Remember, it’s those consistent, small changes that often lead to the most profound results. Here’s to a new year filled with mindful and rewarding progress! 🌟

2025 Appreciation Post

As we close our doors on 2025, I can genuinely reflect with pride what has been achieved in the last 12 months! These include, but not limited to:

⭐️ Brilliant year for Phoebe and Lee in clinic, further strengthening their clinical workload.
⭐️ Consolidation with excellent delivery on our corporate contracts
⭐️ Continued fantastic collaboration with ZW Clinics and Absolute Physiotherapy
⭐️ This has been further strengthened with both Emma and Jemma undertaking a PG Cert in MSK Ultrasound, and allowing me the privilege of mentoring them at the start of their journey. Unbelievably proud to see how they did in their exams recently
⭐️ Delivering Clinical Specialist Appointments to a wide range of conditions and patients, which has been integral in their rehabilitation.
⭐️ Supporting athletes at all levels, but what an achievement it was to get a world level triathlete to the start line.
⭐️ New shop signage (much needed 😂)
⭐️ New website (much needed 😂)
⭐️ Performing the Independent Assessor role for a PG Cert exam
⭐️ Passing my Ultrasound Guided Injection qualification under the tutelage of the legend that is Dave Burliston.
⭐️ Developing the Ultrasound Guided Injection service within the clinic with the excellent support of IBSA

Quite a lot when you look at it that way!

Thank you to Sam and the boys for unwavering support through the year. Without that, I wouldn’t be able to be where I am today.

Final thank you is to you, the patient. It constantly fills me with pride that you allow us the responsibility of helping you achieve your goals. Watching you go through the journey and seeing you succeed gives us the greatest satisfaction.

Here’s to 2026

Hope everyone has the best and healthiest Christmas and New Year

🎄 Festive Follies Tip: Planning Ahead Can Save You Hassle 🎁
Did you know that many of the seasonal stresses we face during the festive period can be minimised with a bit of planning? It's true! One often-overlooked strategy is to create a simple list of festive priorities.
By identifying what matters most to you and your loved ones, you can prevent the overwhelming feeling that comes with trying to do it all.
✨ Here's a practical example: if your family values a cosy evening at home making gingerbread, prioritise that over a less meaningful event.
🗒️ Maybe there's no need to attend every holiday party or buy gifts for every acquaintance. By making a priority list, you focus your time and energy on activities that truly bring joy and connection.
✅ Balancing what you "have" to do with what you "want" to do can transform the festive season from frantic to fulfilling.
🌟 Remember, the holidays are about creating memories, not just ticking things off a list. Take a moment to think about what really brings you joy this time of year, and let that guide your festive choices.

🎄 Did you know that hosting a festive gathering doesn’t mean you have to do it all alone?
Sharing the load can actually make the celebration more enjoyable for everyone involved!
Instead of shouldering all responsibilities, consider involving your guests in the preparations.
✅ Ask friends or family to bring a dish.
✅ Invite them to help decorate.
✅ Suggest they assist with clean-up.
You’ll create a more relaxed atmosphere and a sense of collective effort. This approach not only reduces stress but also makes everyone feel more connected and engaged in the festivities.
Plus, it brings an exciting variety to the table, as you get to enjoy different culinary delights and decorative styles.
Remember, the festive season is all about togetherness and joy. Embrace the chance to collaborate and cherish the memories made along the way.
Here’s to a merry and meaningful celebration! 🎉
