We get asked this a lot…

“What should I wear to physio?”

Honestly ...nothing complicated.

Just aim for something comfortable and easy to move in.

If we need to look at a specific area (like a knee, shoulder, or back), it just helps if we can access it easily — but we’ll always work around what you’re wearing.

And please don’t worry about getting it “wrong”.

We’ll guide you through everything when you’re here

Did you know… prolapse is really common?

Around 1 in 2 women will experience some degree of prolapse in their lifetime.

But it’s still something people often feel unsure about… or don’t talk about.

We hear things like:

“I just feel a bit of heaviness…”
“It’s worse by the end of the day…”
“I wasn’t sure if it was normal…”

It might be common — but that doesn’t mean you have to just live with it.

There’s a lot we can do to help, from:

• Pelvic floor support
• Advice around load and exercise
• Helping you feel more confident day to day

And often, just understanding what’s going on is a big part of it.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not on your own.

Tennis elbow isn’t quite what the name suggests.

Most people hear “-itis” and think inflammation.

But in reality…
👉 it’s usually more of a tendon overload / degeneration issue than a true inflammatory one.

That’s why things like:

• Rest alone
• Anti-inflammatories
• Quick fixes

…might help short term, but often don’t fully resolve it.

What we’re usually dealing with is a tendon that hasn’t adapted well to load.

So the focus becomes:

👉 Gradually rebuilding strength
👉 Improving how that area handles load
👉 Supporting the tendon to recover properly

And this is why it can feel frustrating…

Because it often needs a bit of time and the right approach — not just settling inflammation.

If you’ve had ongoing elbow pain that’s not shifting, it’s worth getting it properly assessed 👍

“I only need 4 hours sleep…” 😬

We hear this a lot…

And we get it — life’s busy.

But when it comes to rehab and pain…
👉 sleep plays a bigger role than most people realise.

If you’re not sleeping well:

• Recovery can feel slower
• Pain can feel a bit more intense
• Your body stays slightly more “on edge”

We often see people doing all the right exercises…
but not quite getting the progress they’d expect.

Sleep is usually part of that picture.

A simple place to start 👇

Try giving yourself 10–15 minutes to properly wind down before bed
(no phone, no rushing — just letting your body settle)

Small changes like that can make a bigger difference than you think.

Take a look behind the scenes… 👀

We thought we’d give you a little glimpse into the people behind the clinic.

First up — Charlie 👇

Charlie is one of our physios here at LBPC, and if you’ve seen her in clinic, you’ll know how calm and thoughtful she is in how she works with people.

A little fun fact…

👉 She’s also a trained yoga instructor
(and went all the way to Mexico to do her training 🇲🇽)

Outside of clinic, you’ll usually find her doing exactly what you’d expect…

• Walking along the beach
• Out in the woods
• Just generally making the most of being outdoors

That mix of physio + yoga + love of movement really comes through in how she treats.

It’s never just about the injury — it’s about helping people move and feel better in a way that fits their life.

We’ll be sharing a few more of these so you can get to know the team a bit better 👋

This is what it feels like to be part of our community 💙

Not just working in it…
but actually being part of it.

This year has already been a special one for us 👇

We kicked things off as a sponsor for the , supporting the running community with injuries, rehab, and keeping people doing what they love.

We then became a sponsor for — a brilliant community interest company offering personal training, small group sessions, and nutritional support.

Yesterday, Thea (our pelvic health physio) teamed up with the to deliver an informative talk for their members — opening up conversations that really matter.

And today, we’ve become a proud community sponsor for , where we’re really looking forward to supporting their members and staff with those everyday niggles, aches, and injuries.

This side of what we do is so important to us.

Because physiotherapy, for us, isn’t just about appointments in a clinic room.

It’s about being part of people’s journeys ....
supporting them to stay active, stay independent, and feel confident in their bodies.

We’re incredibly grateful to be able to work alongside such supportive, like-minded local communities.

And we’re excited for what’s to come 🙌

Pain with s*x isn’t something to ignore.

This is something we see more often than people realise…
but it’s usually brought up a bit quietly, or after it’s been going on for a while.

We hear things like
“I thought it was just me…”
“I didn’t know who to ask…”
“I assumed it was normal…”

And that’s the bit we want to change.

It might be common… but it’s not something you have to just put up with.

There are lots of reasons this can happen — sometimes it’s pelvic floor tension, sometimes hormonal changes (especially around peri or menopause), sometimes it’s linked to previous injury, childbirth, or just patterns that have built up over time.

Often, it’s a mix of a few things.

The reassuring part is — this is something we work with all the time.

And when we take the time to properly assess what’s going on, things can start to make sense… and more importantly, start to improve.

It’s not about pushing through pain or being told to just “relax”.

It’s about understanding your body, building confidence again, and finding what works for you.

We know starting that conversation can feel like the hardest bit…but you won’t shock us, and you definitely won’t be judged.

If this is something you’ve been dealing with, you’re not on your own.

"My Achilles feels so much better.”

This was from a patient we’ve been working with recently.

She came to us with Achilles tendinopathy that had been going on for 2 years.

She’d done all the right things — rehab, strengthening, trying to manage it —
but nothing had quite shifted it enough to get her back running comfortably.

We introduced a short course of shockwave therapy, alongside continuing her rehab 👇

And things have started to change.

👉 She’s now back running
👉 Pain is much lower
👉 Only slightly noticeable on longer runs

The important bit 👇

Shockwave isn’t a magic fix on its own.

It works best when it’s combined with the right loading and rehab — which she’s been really consistent with.

She’s got a couple more sessions booked in, and for the first time in a long while…she’s feeling hopeful that this might properly settle things.

We see this quite a bit with stubborn tendon pain.

When the right pieces come together, things can move on — even after a long time.

If you’re dealing with ongoing Achilles (or any tendon pain) that’s not quite shifting, feel free to drop us a message 👍

We hear this a lot:

“I’ve had a scan… and it showed this…”

And straight away, it can feel like that’s the answer.

But here’s the thing......

An MRI shows us what things look like…
not always what’s causing your pain

It’s actually really common to see things like:

• Disc bulges
• Degeneration
• Wear and tear

On scans of people who have no pain at all.

So when something shows up on your MRI, it doesn’t automatically mean:

👉 that’s the cause
👉 or that something is “damaged” in the way it sounds

What we’re more interested in 👇

• Where your pain is
• What movements bring it on
• How your body is moving overall

Because that’s what helps us understand what’s actually driving it.

We’re not saying scans aren’t useful — they absolutely have their place.

But they’re just one piece of the puzzle.

What we often see in clinic:

If you’ve had a scan and you’re not quite sure what it means for you, you’re not alone.

movement

Creatine’s everywhere at the moment.

Most people still think of it as a gym supplement…
👉 muscle, strength, that kind of thing.

But recently we’ve had a lot more people asking about it for:

• Brain fog
• Focus
• Energy

So… does it actually help?

Kind of — but maybe not in the way people expect.

Creatine basically helps your body recycle energy.

That’s in your muscles… but also in your brain.

So if you’re under a lot of physical or mental demand, it might give you a bit more capacity.

But this is the bit we always come back to 👇

If you’re:

• Not sleeping well
• Stressed
• Running on empty
• Not eating or drinking properly

Creatine isn’t going to fix that.

It’s just being layered on top.

What actually makes the biggest difference?

The simple stuff:

• Sleep
• Hydration
• Moving your body
• Getting a bit of headspace back

That’s where we see the real changes.

That said — creatine can have a place.

Especially if you’re training regularly, or under a bit more demand than usual.

It’s just not a quick fix… and it’s not the starting point.

recovery

This is one that comes up a lot in clinic…
but nearly always a bit quietly at first.

Vaginal dryness.

Usually after a bit of hesitation…
then once it’s said out loud, it’s a bit of a relief.

And honestly — if this is something you’ve noticed, you’re really not alone.

We hear things like:

“I just feel a bit dry or uncomfortable…”
“Sex has become a bit sore…”
“Things just don’t feel the same as they used to…”

A lot of the time, it’s linked to hormonal changes — especially around peri/menopause.

As oestrogen drops, the tissues can become a bit thinner, drier, and more sensitive.

So it’s not in your head… and it’s not you “just getting on with it”
👉 there’s a reason behind it.

But the bit we really want people to know 👇

You don’t have to just put up with it.

There are actually some really simple things that can help — from moisturisers and lubricants, through to local hormonal options if needed.

And from our side, pelvic health physio can help support comfort, tissue health, and confidence again.

If something feels different or uncomfortable — it’s worth a conversation

If your hips always feel tight… you’re not alone. We see this all the time, especially in runners, gym-goers, and anyone sat a lot

Our go-to?

👉 Kneeling hip flexor stretch (done properly)

One knee down, one foot forward

Tuck your pelvis under (this bit matters!!!)

Stay tall

Gently ease forward

Most people skip the tuck…

Want to level it up?.?Add a reach

Lift the arm on the same side as your back leg

Reach up and slightly over

Now you’ll feel it deeper through the hip and into your tummy 👌
