🌟 Meet Holly – Our New Physio Offering Home Visits 🌟

I’m so excited to welcome Holly Cummings to my team! 🙌
Holly brings over 18 years of experience in the NHS, and she has a real passion for rehabilitation, particularly supporting people after a fall, illness, hospital stay, or period of deconditioning. Holly and so worked together in the NHS so I can personally say that she is an incredible physio and all in all a lovely person.

Here’s a little introduction from Holly herself:

💬 “Hi, I’m Holly – a dedicated physiotherapist with over 18 years of experience working in the NHS. I specialise in helping individuals regain their strength, balance, mobility and confidence. My focus is on community-based rehabilitation, working with people who may have lost confidence but feel ready to set goals and take positive steps toward living life to the fullest. Whether you or a loved one are recovering from a setback or simply want to improve quality of life, I’m here to support you every step of the way.”

From 16th September, Holly will be offering home visit physiotherapy across the Tamar Valley, Liskeard, and Saltash areas (with the option to travel further afield - travel costs apply).

⚡ Holly’s diary is already filling up quickly — so if you know someone who could benefit from physiotherapy at home or in a care home, get in touch today to book.

👉 Please note: Online booking is not available for home visits, as sessions need to be planned around travel. To arrange a visit, just give us a call or message us directly.

I’m thrilled to have Holly on board — and I know she’ll make such a difference in our community. 💙

It’s been a while since I have posted on my business page…. I’ve been busy saying goodbye to the kindest and bravest man I have ever known 💔

My husband, James, sadly passed away earlier this week. It’s been a huge shock, loss and heartbreak. But we’re trying to remember the good times too ❤️ Here’s a photo of us when times were easier and much happier ❤️

I am working again and getting through booking in all of the appointment cancellations that I’ve had to make over the last couple of weeks… I’m nearly there 💪🏼. I’m hopeful to have online booking up and running again next week for new clients again. If you’d like an appointment, please do get in touch 🤗 I’m still here for you ❤️

Thank you to each and every one of my clients who I’ve been in contact with recently. You’ve all been so understanding and absolutely wonderful. I’m so lucky to have you all in my life ❤️

Love Jen ❤️❤️❤️ xx

✨ Clinic Update ✨

At the moment, a close family member’s health needs my full attention. Because of this, I’ll be quieter on social media and my online booking system is temporarily closed.

I’m currently rearranging existing appointments and will do my best to accommodate everyone as soon as I can. Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and kindness during this time.

Family comes first, and I look forward to returning when things have settled. ❤️❤️❤️

✨ Can a virtual physio appointment really make a difference? ✨

This week I had a virtual session with someone who had been struggling for over two years with pain, pins and needles, and numbness in both feet — symptoms that had gradually spread up her legs. She’d seen NHS professionals, had tests, but still didn’t have answers — or hope. She felt like no one believed her 😔

In our virtual appointment, we spent over half an hour just talking through her story in detail. That alone was hugely valuable — not only clinically, but emotionally. She finally felt heard.

From there, we identified movements that eased her pain, and I was able to write a detailed referral suggesting further investigation (likely an MRI) and, if appropriate, a structured plan of high-quality physiotherapy. She left the session feeling lighter, more hopeful — and with a real next step.

💡 The takeaway?
If you’re unable to see a physiotherapist in person, or you have a physio in mind that you know you will click with but live a long way from them, a virtual session can still be incredibly valuable — especially for complex cases or second opinions. If you can get to them in person, that’s almost always the better option, especially for hands-on assessment and treatment. But sometime the physio that’s right for you isn’t always on your doorstep.

🖥️ Virtual care isn’t second-best — it’s another tool to help you move forward.

ACHILLES PAIN? YES, YOUR TENDON IS A PROBLEM. BUT IT’S NEVER JUST ABOUT THE TENDON.

Today’s clinic was full of Achilles issues – each one different, each one unique. From stiff feet to hypermobility, bunions to lumbar spine referred pain, every woman I saw had a story that extended beyond their Achilles pain.

All were around the menopausal transition – a reminder that hormones, foot posture, and whole-body mechanics all matter. Two had bunions, one didn’t. One had added lumbar-driven pain, one had hypermobile feet, the other’s were stiff. But all had targeted rehab – focused on mobility, strength, toe control, and foot stability.

On top of that, one had acupuncture, another manual therapy, and another rehab-only. Because real physio means treating the person, not just the part.

This is what we do here – expert physiotherapy for women’s pelvic health and musculoskeletal conditions in both men and women. Personalised, thoughtful, whole-body care.

💚 You are not just your Achilles tendon.
Let’s find the why behind your pain.

✨ Let’s talk about v@ginal moisturisers + lubricants! ✨

You do not have to just put up with v@ginal dryness, irritation, or discomfort during intimacy 💧It’s common if you’re postnatal, perimenopausal, or menopausal. But it’s not just limited to these populations… any women may be in need of a moisture boost.

Lubricants (used during intimate activity) and moisturisers (used regularly like skincare!) can be game-changers for comfort, confidence, and pelvic health. Hormonal changes, breastfeeding, or stress can all affect natural lubrication — and it’s completely common.

I also recommend water based lubricants for using physio equipment such as probes, dilators and wands. Also for inserting and removing pessaries 👌🏻 It just makes everything that bit more comfy.

One of my go-to brands is Yes Organics – gentle, natural, and free from irritating ingredients. You can grab them online (discount code in my bio!) or ask your GP — some are even available on prescription if needed ✅

Let’s make comfort and connection part of your recovery and wellbeing. 💜

Hip pain? You’re not alone — and it’s not something you just have to put up with.

As an MSK & pelvic health physio, I see a lot of people struggling with hip pain that’s been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or ignored — especially postpartum or during menopause.

The truth?
👉 Hip pain can come from the joint itself, surrounding tendons (like the glutes), or even be referred from the lower back or pelvis.
👉 Pelvic floor dysfunction or core instability often plays a role — especially if you’ve had a baby.
👉 And no, pain doesn’t always mean arthritis or the need for surgery.

💡 Evidence shows that the right strength work, load management, and expert assessment can make a huge difference.
You don’t have to stop moving — you just need the right plan.

Hi 👋🏻 Just a reminder that I continue to offer expert pessary fittings as part of my pelvic health services! I’m a pessary fittings pelvic health physio, based in East Cornwall

My 90-minute appointments use the Profem range and are designed to support you (or your clients) with prolapse symptoms in a safe, comfortable, and empowering environment.

Self-referrals are welcome
(You’ll just need to have a pelvic health initial assessment first to ensure a pessary is right for you and to make sure you have the right advice and exercises)

Physio-to-physio referrals are very welcome too - I’m happy to work collaboratively to support your patients with ongoing pessary care while you continue their rehab.

And if you’re struggling to get a replacement for an existing pessary - whether NHS or private - I’m here to help bridge that gap.

Get in touch to book or refer a client.
You’re in safe, experienced hands.

After years of persistent pain after a fall and mixed messages about what was causing it, then thinking she had to live with it… she finally has answers. We discovered signs pointing toward a lumbar disc issue with neural involvement — something that had likely been missed all this time.

This is why I love what I do: not just treating symptoms, but diving deep into the why, ruling things out, and piecing together pieces of my assessment to reach a diagnosis. This is why each person’s unique story is so important to listen to… it helps you to form a working diagnosis and also some differential diagnoses that you then assess to either rule in or rule out. Empowering people with understanding, clarity, and a clear path forward is everything.

If you’ve been told to “just live with it,” know this — you don’t have to. There’s always more to explore.
Get in touch if this resonates with you.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is seeing long-term issues finally improve! ✨

This lovely client first came to me with numbness in her fingers - something she’d been dealing with for decades ✋🖐️. Through a mix of manual therapy, acupuncture, soft tissue work, and bespoke exercises, we made steady progress. Then, partway through, she developed a frozen shoulder ❄️. Thankfully, with some hands-on treatment, simple exercises, and the right advice, we got that sorted quickly! 💪

Now, after 18 months of dedication, she’s making huge progress, and we’re both thrilled! 🎉 If you’ve been putting up with pain or discomfort, you don’t have to. Let’s get you moving and feeling better—send me a message to get started! 💙
