🧠 “MY THERAPIST IS SO KNOWLEDGEABLE!” …ARE YOU SURE? 😅

We see it all the time in reviews:

“X is amazing and so knowledgeable!”
“I had a great experience, they know SO much!”

But here’s a little brain teaser for you…

If you’re not a physio or therapist yourself (not that this always means anything anyway! 🤦‍♂️)
:
👉 How do you actually know that what we’re saying is correct?
👉 How can you tell the difference between proper science… and very confident nonsense?

If you already had all that knowledge, you probably wouldn’t need to see them in the first place 😉
And if you don’t have that knowledge… you can’t really judge how “knowledgeable” they are just by how friendly, chatty or convincing they sound.

That’s why at East Devon Physical Therapy we don’t rely on vibes, fancy jargon or TikTok trends.

We rely on:
✅ Evidence-based research
✅ Measurable outcomes
✅ Treatments that are backed by science – not guesswork

So by all means, keep telling us we’re “lovely”, “patient” and “made you feel listened to” (we love that 🥹)…

But the really important bit?
We can actually show you the science behind what we’re doing, and track your progress so you don’t have to just “take our word for it”.

Less “they seem knowledgeable”.
More “this is working – and here’s the proof.” 💪

Let’s Talk About What Massage REALLY Does 💆‍♀️

The Myths ❌

“Massage improves flexibility long term” Nope. Any flexibility gains are temporary and neurological – your nervous system relaxing, not tissues changing.

“Flexibility makes you perform better” Actually, excessive flexibility can be detrimental to performance, especially for power athletes and runners. Your body needs the right amount of stiffness to generate force.

“Massage speeds up recovery” No evidence for this. Your body heals on its own timeline.

What Massage ACTUALLY Does ✅

🧠 Pain Relief - Activates your body’s natural pain-relief systems. Real, measurable effect.

😌 Stress Reduction - Lowers cortisol, activates your parasympathetic nervous system. Not just “feeling relaxed” – actual physiological change.

🔄 Body Awareness - Helps you tune into tension patterns and areas needing attention.

💪 Psychological Recovery - Feeling cared for and supported genuinely contributes to better outcomes.

🎯 Complement to Active Treatment - When combined with proper rehab and strength training, massage is a valuable tool – just not a magic bullet.

The EDPT Difference

We follow the research, not the marketing.

Georgia’s massage treatments complement your active rehabilitation programme. They help you feel better, manage pain, and reduce stress – and that’s valuable enough without exaggerated claims.

The honest truth: Massage won’t permanently change your flexibility or speed up healing. But it WILL help you feel better, manage pain, and support your recovery when combined with evidence-based treatment.

**Box drop plyometrics for Achilles stiffness 💪**

Training smart for running performance means loading the right tissues. Here, our patient is performing box drops with straight-leg landings and forward momentum, springing forwards to multiple heights to specifically target the calf complex and Achilles tendon—not the quads.

Why? Because stiffer Achilles tendons = better runners.

Research shows that tendon stiffness allows for:
✅ Faster force transmission during push-off
✅ Better energy storage and return (spring effect)
✅ Quick ground contact times
✅ Improved running economy

Rather than slow absorption through the knee, we’re training the Achilles to react rapidly and spring back off the floor—exactly what you need for efficient running.

Plyometric training like this progressively builds that tendon stiffness and resilience, reducing injury risk whilst boosting performance 🏃‍♂️⚡

Progressive. Evidence-based. Results-driven.

You can’t “roll your ankle” into Morton’s Neuroma! 🙅‍♂️

This is a surprisingly common mix-up we see in clinic!

Here’s the difference:

MORTON’S NEUROMA 🐌
✖️ No dramatic incident
✖️ No ankle roll, twist, or “I heard a pop”
✔️ Sneaks up gradually
✔️ Burning/tingling between toes (usually 3rd & 4th)
✔️ Numbness in toes
✔️ Caused by poor biomechanics & pressure over time

METATARSALGIA 💥
✔️ CAN come from an incident (rolling/twisting ankle)
✔️ Sudden increase in activity
✔️ Ball of foot inflammation
✔️ “I did something and now it hurts”

Both can feel like there’s a pebble in your shoe!

That’s why proper assessment matters.

The moral of the story?

Getting the diagnosis right = getting the treatment right!

Both respond brilliantly to proper assessment and treatment, but you’ve got to know what you’re dealing with first! 👟

Foot pain that won’t quit? Let’s figure out what’s actually going on.

👣 Go beyond guesswork—see your steps in full colour!

Scott’s using our top-tier Footscan® pressure analysis system. With each step across the mat, we record 8000+ pressure sensors underfoot, capturing data for high-precision results. You’ll see your personal foot map, revealing pressure peaks, timing, loading rates, balance, and even hidden stability issues in minutes! 🔴🟡🟢

Scott breaks down all those stats—peak force, timing errors, asymmetries—and explains what it means for your pain and movement.

No jargon. Just clear answers, so you know what needs changing and get a custom plan that fits you. Patients always say Scott makes it make sense! 🙌🤓
