I’m really excited to share some fantastic news…

Cornwall Physio has been awarded Physiotherapy Clinic of the Year 2025–2026 for the South West of England!!

We actually found out a couple of weeks ago but waited until everything was official before announcing it.

Our trophy and certificate have now arrived at the clinic, so I’m delighted to finally share this with you.

For this particular competition, the ‘South West’ region covers one third of the country (!!) stretching right across to Southampton, so it’s a real honour for our clinic here in Cornwall to be recognised in such a competitive area.

One of the things that particularly stood out to the judges was our commitment to innovation.

Over the years we have invested heavily in bringing some of the most advanced Physio and rehab treatments available anywhere in the world to Cornwall.

As you all know, I am deeply committed to research and continuing to push standards forward through both my clinical work and the mentoring I provide for other clinicians.

Most importantly, this award reflects the dedication of our whole team and the trust our clients place in us every day.

Thank you so much for your continued support. I’m incredibly proud of what we have built together and excited about what lies ahead!

Exercise Doesn’t Damage Arthritic Joints – It Protects Them

One of the biggest myths we hear?

“Exercise will wear out my joints.”

The latest research shows the opposite.
Movement actually protects your joints by keeping cartilage healthy and inflammation low… this even includes impact exercise like RUNNING!

At Cornwall Physio, our team designs progressive rehab plans so you can move confidently — whether that’s walking the coast path or getting back to the gym — without pain.

And if your joints are too sore to start?
Our EMTT and Focused Shockwave treatments can dramatically reduce inflammation first — so you can get moving again safely.

We didn’t expect what happened last week.
When we announced the Metabolic and Gut Health Masterclass at The Cornwall Hotel & Spa, it filled in days.

By the time we closed registration, the waiting list was nearly as long as the guest list.

So we’re doing it again — online this time. Same speakers. Same content . From your sofa.

🎉Tuesday 31st March at 7pm. Free. Online.🎉

Niki Charnock, Chris Carpenter and I will be covering the same ground that had a room full of people saying "why has nobody explained this to me before?"

This is for you if:

✅ You’re tired all the time and nobody can tell you why
✅ Your blood tests come back “normal” but you know something isn’t right
✅ You’re carrying weight that won’t shift no matter what you try
✅ You live with pain, inflammation, or gut issues that standard advice hasn’t touched
✅ You want to understand what’s actually going on in your body and what to do about it

We’ll be covering the metabolic drivers behind fatigue, stubborn weight, and chronic inflammation.

The gut health connection — why your microbiome is central to your energy, immunity, mood, and pain. What your blood tests aren’t measuring, and the specific nutritional steps that begin to change how your body functions.

This isn’t a generic wellness talk. It’s a clinical education evening from two specialists who see these problems every single day.

Chris will also be sharing his full story — how he lost nearly 10 stone and reversed Type 2 diabetes. When he told it live last week, the room was completely gripped. Now you can hear it from wherever you are.

Three speakers. Three different lenses on the same problem. One evening that gives you a complete picture of why so many people feel worse than they should — and a clear path forward.

It's free. All you need is a screen and somewhere comfortable to sit.

Or call 01726 815189.

If someone popped into your head while reading this, tag them or share this post. Last week changed how a room full of people thought about their health. This time there’s no limit on seats — but you still need to register.
