Why Early Rehabilitation Matters After Surgery
Surgery is only one part of recovery. Rehabilitation is the process that restores movement, strength and confidence, and it has a major influence on long-term outcomes.
Whether following joint replacement or ligament reconstruction, early and appropriate rehabilitation reduces complications and improves function.

Growing Bodies and Injury Risk in Children’s Sport
Children are not simply small adults, and this is especially important when considering sports injuries. Their bones, muscles, tendons and nervous systems mature at different rates, which changes both how injuries occur and how they should be managed.

Bone health is often framed as a concern for later life, but the foundations for strong, resilient bones are laid much earlier. For women, the decades from our 30s onward represent a critical window to protect bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures later in life — particularly for those with a family history of osteoporosis or fragility fractures.

The Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause
Menopause is more than hot flushes. As estrogen levels fall, many women notice new aches and pains, sore tendons, stiff shoulders, and a drop in muscle and bone strength

When these problems cluster together, researchers call it the “musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause.” It includes joint pain, tendinopathy (tendon irritation), frozen shoulder, sarcopenia (loss of muscle), and bone loss (osteopenia/osteoporosis). These changes can affect work, sport, caring roles and sleep—but the good news is there’s a lot we can do.

Why Building and Maintaining Muscle Mass from Your 30s Onward Is Essential
As a women’s health physiotherapist, one of the most important messages I can share is this: your muscle mass is your long-term health investment. From your 30s onward, and particularly during the menopause transition, preserving and building muscle becomes critical—not just for strength, but for your overall wellbeing.

Vaginal Pessaries: A Conservative Option for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects millions of women worldwide, often impacting daily comfort, bladder or bowel control, and quality of life
While pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a cornerstone of conservative management, vaginal pessaries offer an effective, low-risk option for symptom relief—particularly when used alongside physiotherapy.

Training for Strong Bones in later life
Strong Bones, Strong Body: Why Exercise Is Essential for Bone Health
When we think about protecting our bones, most people think of calcium or vitamin D. But one of the most powerful tools we have to maintain—and even improve—bone mineral density (BMD) is exercise, particularly resistance and impact training.
As we age, especially post-menopause, we naturally lose bone mass. This increases the risk of osteoporosis, which often remains silent until a fracture occurs. Fortunately, research shows that the right kind of physical activity can help preserve and even increase BMD—especially in women.

Bone Mineral Density – why is it so important?
Bone health often goes unnoticed—until there’s a problem. As we age, our bones naturally lose density, making them more fragile and increasing the risk of fractures
