Happy Friday!

For anyone who was interested in my email to my MP last week, I received a reply from Sam this morning - thankfully she listened and has written to the Health minister in support. Will let you know if/when I hear any more.

And if anyone else wants to do the same with their local representative, please do. The more the better.

Have a lovely weekend,

Although still technically on holiday, I am always keeping an eye and ear out for news/research/anything related to physio (I know, geek!) and something that is a real bee in my bonnet, is the ongoing recruitment freezes in the NHS- particularly for Band 5/ new graduate physiotherapist posts.

Our trade union, the CSP, shared a story from a new grad yesterday and it was really powerful. On the back of it, I felt compelled to write to my MP and voice my frustration - in support of our next gen of physios.

I am sharing this, with the aim of nudging others to do the same. Maybe physios working in (or out of) the NHS, new grads and/or others who support them. Let's make sure that the people in power are aware of the problem and are pushed to do something to rectify it quickly, so that our next gen can get on with the work that they are so desperate to do.

If you are a member of the CSP, there is a letter template on their website (which I used as a starting point for my letter), I'll put the link in my comments.

Let's support the next gen, however we can 💪🏼✨.

Thank you,

Becca

Hip hop hooray, it's our school holiday!

School is OUT so my out of office is ON, as I switch my brain to being an almost* full-time mum for 6 weeks (the infinitely harder role I hold, utmost respect to all full-time mums 💪🏻).

I have had a wonderful term in work - finishing off today with a joyful interpretive dance, wearing rainbow fairy wings, with a client as a belated wedding present to her carer (aka partner in crime - check out the final pic for a sneaky peek!🌈✨). I thought I would share (with their consent) as this is the type of rehab that Upton Neuro Physio is all about.

Saying that, I am looking forward to slowing down with my boys and being present so that our hearts, energy pots and memory banks can fill/refill - ready to resume our normal lives again come September.

Thankfully, I am blessed to have an incredible physio, Sophie, , picking up the reins to see Upton Neuro Physio clients over my summer break. Fresh from her own summer hols (with pic 2 being a dreamy snap shared from France last week 😍) and currently on maternity leave from her NHS Clinical Specialist Neuro Physio role at the Walton Centre, Liverpool - she is ready and raring to go. Our clients couldn't be in safer hands. Her diary is jam-packed, but please do drop us an email if you or someone you know needs neuro physio support through August. Sometimes things change and we will do our best to accommodate you, whether in August or when I return in September.

This morning, a special client had the benefit of two professional heads rather than one whilst getting ready for her day 💁🏻‍♀️. With Helen, OT (Expert Occupational Therapist from ) and moi (Expert Neuro Physio from Upton Neuro Physio) we had a fun and engaging session - supporting her to wash her face and brush her hair, all whilst working on her sitting balance, over the side of her bed. It was fun and insightful, whilst helping her to build strength and skill towards regaining independence.

Since I left my London teaching hospital job in 2023, I haven't had many opportunities to work so closely with another professional and it was really refreshing. Aligning diaries, the politics of different teams working together and cost can all be prohibitive, but we all know a client's rehab journey can be massively improved by their multidisciplinary team working together to improve depth of collaborative understanding, aligning our plans to meet the client's most pressing needs and helping them to achieve their goals in a fun and engaging way ✨.

Inspired by the stellar school sports day performance of our little champ (F won his egg and spoon race 🥇), we rounded off Steady Eddie's this week with a couple of egg and spoon races in the sunshine.

Clients took to the starting blocks first with an impressive performance. Balancing speed and stability, our winner M - breezed across the finishing line, cool as a cucumber 🏆.

Then Jess and I took to the blocks. Well, as you can see from the video- it was not the same picture 😆. I definitely prioritised speed over form, putting Jess off her game as she creased over every time I dropped the egg, but a laugh was shared by all... And laughter is medicine too right?

We will do a bit of training each week until the final class before the summer hols (21st July) where it will be a full sports day theme.

Want to join us? Reach out if you would like to become SUPER STEADY 🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️

A message from the husband of a lovely client I had the pleasure of working with.

So much of my job is positive- bringing hope, sharing wins, overcoming hurdles and achieving goals. But working in long-term neuro conditions can be hard too. Because some neuro conditions progress, some are life-limiting and some are downright cruel.

As a neuro physio, my role as always, is to help people to reach and stay at their ceiling of potential - wherever they are and whatever their symptoms/limitations.

The Upton Neuro Physio way is holistic which means that as things progress, and as well as helping people to minimise risk of falls, prevent secondary complications and minimise speed of deterioration - being a listening ear, helping people to come to terms with their difficulties and creating opportunities for fun and joy are paramount. As is involving loved ones and carers so that we are all working together and they feel supported too. For info, I have done Masters level training in CBT and counselling skills, and worked closely with psychologists for a large chunk of my career, so I know my limitations but providing a safe space to talk whilst working on physical goals really does help.

I feel honoured to be able to help people in such difficult times and though I can't help but feel sad when such a journey comes to an end, I wouldn't have it any other way.

If you or someone you care about has a long-term neuro condition and wonders if Upton Neuro Physio could help them- get in touch. Everyone receives a free 20 minute screening call to see if we are best placed to meet their needs. What have you got to lose?

About last night 💃🏻🪩✨, the Active Pregnancy Foundation awards 2025 in London.

What a night! I barely took any pics but had a wonderful time, meeting some incredible change makers in the field of activity during pregnancy. I met inspiring women and heard powerful stories about their journeys - including a woman who was weightlifting 90kg the week before she gave birth and an ultra marathon running breastfeeding mum champion🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️.

I didn't win any awards myself, but loved the experience and meeting my mentors from the endorsement process. I squeezed in a little catch up with my old friends and colleagues before heading in, hung with my lovely pal and wore the most amazing dress 😍 (it is from if you were wondering). Will be back!

I am REGRAMming this REMAP post with an ulterior motive...

I have a client who would benefit from a REMAP walking aid adjustment but unfortunately, in our local area, there isn't a REMAP branch/ aren't any REMAP engineers so we are a bit stuck 😬.

If you aren't aware, REMAP is a charity whose mission is to improve the quality of life for people who experience short or long-term disability through infirmity, illness, or ageing. They do this by making and adapting equipment to meet the unique needs of individuals at no cost to them.

The equipment, produced by their team of dedicated volunteers, can help with day-to-day tasks such as mobility, personal care or eating. Or it can enable the client to pursue a hobby or ambition, such as participating in a sport or art activity. They are local volunteer heroes 🦸🏻‍♀️who really makes a difference and they are looking for more support with a wide range of roles.

My personal plea- if you or someone you care about has a background in engineering, as a maker, or simply wants to give back, they have some time on their hands AND they live in Cheshire/ the Wirral/ North West UK area- please contact REMAP and get involved in something really special.

Thank you, Becca xx

Summer half-term is here! And with weeks of glorious sunshine brightening up our world, the forecast is obviously more gloomy as we pack the car up for a camping holiday 🏕️☔🫣.

Oh well, I am sure we will make some beautiful memories anyway. I won't be working for the next week so if you would like to investigate whether Upton Neuro Physio could help you to reach and stay at your ceiling of potential, please feel free to check out the website or drop me an email. I will respond when not overseeing the ferals participating in their daily, risky but character building activities 🤭.

Have a lovely week, Becca xx
