📣Exciting news!📣

Laura, our new PRACTICE MANAGER is starting tomorrow! Laura worked at Brian Simpson’s private physiotherapy practice for 11 years, so has a wealth of experience with patients and running a busy clinic.

Laura will be dealing with all of the day to day running of the clinic, as well as assisting our physiotherapists. She will also be managing a lot of the business side of things so that Jo can spend more time with patients.

We truly feel this will give everyone the best experience and will enable our physiotherapists to solely focus on patients.

💪THE REAL ROAD TO RECOVERY💪

Rehab isn’t just about getting better- it’s about getting stronger, smarter and more resilient.

The road to recovery is likely to include-
- Education to understand your body and your condition/injury
- Structured exercise to build strength and confidence
- Learning to be patient through the plateaus and often steps back
- Support for when the going gets tough

One rep at a time, one step at a time! It’s just as important to us, as it is to you 👍

🏃‍♂️RUNNING INJURIES🏃‍♀️
As a physiotherapy clinic we often see runners of all different abilities and ages.

Here are a few mistakes that we commonly find runners making, which can make them more injury prone.

If you have persistent pain, injury or difficulty running or doing any other activity, please contact us for an assessment and a treatment plan to get you back to doing what you love!

☀️Benefits of sunlight!☀️

Did you know, there are several proven health benefits of getting yourself out in the sunshine?

- It’s our best supply of vitamin D which helps maintain bone strength and can help to lower the risk of osteoporosis and aid fracture healing. It is a Government recommendation that adults in the UK take vitamin D supplements from October to April, as we do not get as many sunlight hours through the winter.
- It stimulates the release of serotonin- our ‘happy’ hormone and mood booster, and can help reduce seasonal depression (SAD).
- It can help skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne.

Remember to be sensible in the sun, but try to get out for a nice daily walk in this lovely, healing sunshine! ☀️😎

❓When is it necessary to see a physiotherapist?❓

It can often be difficult to tell if you need to see a physiotherapist, or whether a GP might be necessary. Here’s our guide to when you should and shouldn’t need to see a physiotherapist, and when seeing another healthcare professional may be more appropriate. If you’re still unsure, give us a call or message and we will be happy to help.

✨New treatment alert✨
Cupping treatments available with Kasey from Tuesday 29th July! This is one not to be missed!

Dry cupping allows the body to release cells to promote healing. The vacuum of the cup causes separation of the different layers of tissue which causes micro trauma- this is registered by the body, and sterile inflammation is initiated to help healing.

Dry cupping saturates the tissue with fresh blood while the vacuum pulls stagnant blood out of the area. The body will begin to develop new blood vessels (neovascularisation) that will have the capability to feed the tissues with nutrients and oxygen.

When 10 or so cups are used around an injured area it can produce a stretch reflex within the connective tissue and fascia which results in increased pliability and range of movement.

The cups can be placed around an area of oedema after an injury to help draw the fluid away.

Cupping in conjunction with active movement stimulates the nervous system and aids in re-educating muscle memory and proprioception.

Dry cupping can be used within a sports massage or as a stand alone treatment.

Cups can be placed over areas that massage can’t treat like the spine, IT band and popliteal space.

The amount of suction applied to the cups is tailored to the patient’s tolerance and to the area of the body that is being treated, meaning the treatment is suitable for patients of any age and sensitivity.

Bookings will be available online at the end of this week, or you can call or message to book for 29th July onwards.

We’re proud to sponsor the Farmyard Trail this year. Our gorgeous cat, Fizz-E-O, designed by artist, Joy Evitt, is on display at in Eye. This is a great charity, and it’s good fun to follow the trail and find all the animals!
