It’s so refreshing as a Physiotherapist to really feel like we’re working with our patients towards their goals. There’s only a certain amount we can do and the rest is really the effort you put in 👊🏼

Sarah is a prime example of this success! Last year we worked together on her build up to the Chicago marathon, helping her to deal with Achilles issues as well as a few ‘niggles’ commonly associated with such high mileage training. At no point did we have to stop Sarah running…we adapted her training at times and I provided her with the guidance of how to self-monitor her runs and pain response. We increased her strength & conditioning which is often an area runners struggle with BUT she took it all on board and the proof is in the pudding as she completed the marathon, injury free…plus she was able to continue working on her performance through her rehab journey - this resulted in an amazing marathon time and Boston qualifying time!

Although we are the experts in pain & injury, we also know you are the best judge of your body and how you feel. We are here to give you structure, guidance and be alongside your journey as your biggest cheerleader!

I am passionate about getting people into resistance & weight training (particularly women!) but know how gyms can be intimidating and hard to navigate!

Based from my treatment area I have a well equipped rehab area ideal for learning how to utilise resistance training 🏋️‍♀️💪🏼

I want to work with you on your goals but predominantly get you feeling confident & strong within yourself as well as confident going into a gym 💪🏼👊🏼

Start 2023 as you mean to go on!

The problem isn’t your ‘bad posture’ - it’s not as much of a thing as you think!

The problem is that you don’t MOVE enough 👊🏼

USE your chair to feel supported, comfortable and relaxed to prevent tension…but make sure you move regularly, even if it’s getting up for 60seconds!

Anyone working at a desk or doing a job involving postural stress is most likely to have experienced this type of pain….

If you’ve found that deep tissue or sports massage hasn’t sorted it out this may be the reason why..

Stress on the thoracic spine can cause stiffness and pain, particularly if the joint between the rib and spine and create this localised pain point!

Have a go at these thoracic & rib mobility exercises and see if they help!

Next I’ll address the world of “bad posture” and why it doesn’t exist..! Surprised?? Keep your eyes peeled…

There’s lots of race days coming up soon!! (is it only me that’s just realised it’s only 4 weeks to go until the Cardiff Half?? 🫣)

I have appointments available during September to help get you in prime condition for race day, whether you have an injury (it may not be too late) OR if you just need a bit of a general MOT head to toe!

Hopefully you’re all feeling fit from training but don’t forget how important the last 2/3 weeks of preparation are leading to race day - tapering & recovery are key!

Get in touch if you think I can help…and good luck to all runners and triathletes!

Osteoarthritis - a topic that has had a fair bit of attention in the media recently

So you’ve been told that exercise is good for OA so go do it! It’s great that this message is being spread BUT do you still find yourself thinking ‘How am I supposed to exercise when I have so much pain?!’

This is something that Physiotherapists can support and guide you on, gradually, so not only can you get more active but also IMPROVE your OA symptoms and reduce your pain!

It’s true you can’t get rid of OA joint changes (if you looked on an x-ray) but you absolutely CAN improve your symptoms, pain and activity tolerance! Don’t just ‘put up with it’…age is just a number and no excuse!

Please get in touch if this is something I can help you with! 🫵🏼
