A little organ with a big job - and no, it’s not just there to complain after a heavy weekend. 🍸🍺
Liver /ˈlɪvə/ comes from Old English lifer, linked to the idea of “life” itself. Quite fitting, considering it’s one of the hardest-working structures in the body. From filtering toxins to producing bile for digestion and storing essential nutrients, the liver quietly keeps the whole system running.

Clinically, it plays a central role in metabolism and inflammation, which is why changes in liver health may influence everything from energy levels to musculoskeletal recovery. For physiotherapists, that means liver health can subtly affect fatigue, tissue healing, and how efficiently muscles respond to rehabilitation exercises. Supporting balanced nutrition, hydration, and overall systemic health often helps patients get more from their physio programmes.

Today we honour the courage and resilience of everyone affected by cancer - patients, survivors, and carers alike. It’s a moment to reflect on the challenges faced, celebrate progress, and offer support and compassion 💛

Even small steps, like gentle movement or maintaining activity where possible, can help the body and mind feel stronger. Physiotherapy can be one way to support wellbeing, helping people stay as mobile and comfortable as possible during treatment and recovery.

Above all, today is a reminder that kindness, understanding, and support make a meaningful difference in every journey.

🦵 Word of the Day: Knee

We know… It’s a word you know well! But here’s some facts about this small word with a long history!
The word, ‘Knee’ comes from Old English cnēow (from the proto-Germanic knewam). Back then the k was actually pronounced. The sound faded from spoken English around the 15th century, but printers kept the old spelling — and dictionaries later cemented it. So, that silent k is a little relic from our linguistic past.

The knee itself is the body’s largest and most complex joint, linking the femur, tibia, and patella. It can bear up to three times your body weight with every step — and even more when you run or climb stairs. No wonder so many knees sometimes feel like old relics themselves! (Relics in need of a little TLC.)

🎒 Back to School, Back in Action!

It’s that time again - backpacks, early mornings, and long hours at desks. Kids aren’t the only ones feeling it; parents are helping with homework (“what’s a quadratic equation again?”), prepping lunches and hauling gear (so Mondays require two swim kits, a library bag, a soccer kit, two violins, and a euphonium - easy!)

What can you do?
🏃‍♂️ Sneak in movement breaks with a quick game of tig or musical statues before homework.
🕺 Master the latest TikTok dance with older kids - cardio and laughter all in one!
🍎 Pack nutritious snacks and stay hydrated to fuel brains and bodies.
🧘 Take a moment for mindful breathing or stretching together before bed. (Consistent sleep helps everyone.)

Small, playful habits make a big difference for posture, energy, and wellbeing for the whole family.

🦵And parents, don’t forget to bend from the knees when hauling all that gear!
