🥳 A 2026 update we’re excited about…

Amy is heading back to the The Foot & Ankle Show this March in Liverpool, returning as a co-presenter on stage.

As the founder of Step & Stone Health, Amy spends her days in clinic, so events like this are a chance to step back, see what’s moving the profession forward and bring fresh ideas back with her. She’ll be exploring new products, treatments and ways of working, learning from others in the industry and catching up with familiar faces along the way.

Everything she takes from the show feeds straight back into how podiatry care is delivered at Step and Stone Health.

And as always, Amy takes you along with her. Expect a few Facebook stories, maybe a Facebook Live and definitely a couple of posts sharing her experience from the show 👀

January Round-Up❄️🩷

January started with that snow week. Amy kept you updated with Facebook Lives… featuring the now-iconic pink jumper (which did eventually get changed).

Behind the scenes, Kim, Imke and Izzie were swapping ideas on exercise prescription - exactly why a multidisciplinary clinic works so well. Physios also need TLC, so Izzie treated Imke to a well-deserved wrist massage.

Fresh off the press: The Step & Stone Times. With our big announcement of Shockwave Therapy. The team are trained, practising and nearly ready to get going. Kirsty’s been getting hands-on with her new shockwave skills.

We also held our first team meeting of the year, talking all things Shockwave Therapy and how we keep improving the clinic experience.

Louise had an updated photoshoot in her counselling room and has recently completed further training in couples and relationship therapy (go Louise 👏). Sophie is back for work experience and yes… Amy tried to measure a door with a ruler, an A4 sheet and a pen because there was no tape measure. Resourceful.

Louise saying hey! Kim brushing up on shockwave settings and Hattie’s beautifully set-up Elemis facial station - that’s January wrapped.

Busy. Collaborative. Exactly how we like it 💗

📣 Shockwave Therapy now available in Westhill

When pain just won’t shift… You stretch. You rest. You “give it time”. And yet the pain’s still there.

That’s where shockwave therapy at Step & Stone Health can help.

Our team Amy, Imke, Kim, Kirsty and Izzie are now fully trained in shockwave therapy, following specialist training with Ed from CT Medical Sales who’ve also supplied us with our very own machine 👏

Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses targeted sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. It can help reduce pain and improve movement for stubborn or slow-healing conditions.

Common uses include:
• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles pain
• Tennis & golfer’s elbow
• Hip, shoulder and lower back pain

If you live in persistent pain, shockwave therapy might be the next step.

💬 Speak to our team at Step & Stone Health to see if it’s right for you.

Change is something we all struggle with - even when we know it’s good for us.

In her latest blog, our counsellor Louise Laird tells us why that gap exists between understanding and actually changing and offers gentle ways to bridge it.

We really encourage you to give it a read! Perfect for a 3-minute lunch break read💚

We live in a world overflowing with information and advice on how to feel better, communicate better, or live better. It’s easy to know what you should do, yet still feel stuck. This isn’t a lack of willpower. Change doesn’t come from information alone. By noticing what really gets in the way,...
