Just over 4 weeks to go! ⏳🏃‍♂️

Hello, it’s Grace here! I just wanted to chat marathons/half marathons as it’s that time of year! Our countdown to the Leeds Half Marathon is officially on! Training is in full swing, and it’s safe to say the miles are adding up.

As a physio, I’m always reminding patients about the importance of balance in training - but it’s just as important to practice what you preach! That means mixing runs with strength work, rest days, and listening to your body.

Training with my fiancé, Charlie, has definitely kept me accountable (and made the long runs a lot more enjoyable too!).

If you’re gearing up for a race or just getting into running, don’t let injuries hold you back - early advice can make all the difference.

We’re here to support you every step of the way at Wetherby Physiotherapy Practice 💙

Wetherby Physiotherapy on tour! 🎶🎤

This month Nora delivered a talk to the gentlemen from Clifford Daytones Music Group. Her theme was living longer and happier through improved posture, balance and mobility. Providing the members with advice on stretch and strengthening exercises.

Proving that you can teach old dogs new tricks, her talk was so well received she has been asked to do another! 🥳

Physiotherapy is not only about treatment and recovery, but more importantly, about prevention of health problems and injury. 🙏

🐎 Physiotherapy for Horse Riders: Why Hip Mobility & Strength Matter

Horse riding isn’t just about your horse’s performance — it’s about your body’s movement and control in the saddle too.

At Wetherby Physiotherapy Practice, we often see riders struggling with hip tightness or weakness that affects their position, balance, and communication with the horse.

Your hips are the key connection point between your upper body and your horse. When hip mobility or strength is limited, riders may notice:
• Difficulty maintaining a stable seat
• Tension through the lower back or knees
• Uneven weight distribution in the saddle
• Reduced ability to absorb the horse’s movement

Improving hip mobility and strength can help riders:
✔ Move more fluidly with the horse
✔ Maintain a balanced and independent seat
✔ Reduce strain on the back, knees, and pelvis
✔ Improve overall riding performance and comfort

Physiotherapy can assess your movement patterns, flexibility, and strength, and provide targeted exercises to support your riding — whether you’re a recreational rider or competing regularly.

If you’re a rider experiencing stiffness, discomfort, or struggling with position in the saddle, physiotherapy may help you ride more comfortably and effectively.

✨ Rebuilding Confidence Through Physiotherapy ✨

After an injury, illness, or hospital stay, it’s common to feel less confident with walking, balance, or everyday movement. With the right support, that confidence can return 💪

At Wetherby Physiotherapy Practice we aim to empower our patients to regain strength, stability, and trust in their bodies through personalised physiotherapy. This is a mutually rewarding journey.

❄️ Frosty outside…
🚶 Stiff joints?

Cold winter weather can cause muscles to tighten and joints to feel less flexible — especially first thing in the morning or after sitting for long periods.

If stiffness, aches or old injuries are making everyday movement uncomfortable this winter, physiotherapy can help. With hands-on treatment, tailored exercises and practical advice, we support you in moving more comfortably and confidently, whatever the season.

🏃‍♂️💪 Why Strength Training Matters for Runners 💪🏃‍♀️

Running is fantastic for fitness, but running alone isn’t always enough to keep you injury-free. At Wetherby Physiotherapy Practice, we see many running injuries that could be prevented with the right strength training.

Here’s why it’s so important 👇

✅ Improves load tolerance – Strong muscles, tendons, and bones cope better with the repetitive impact of running
✅ Reduces overuse injuries – Strength training helps protect against common issues like shin splints, Achilles pain, and knee injuries
✅ Enhances running efficiency – A stronger body moves better, meaning less strain on vulnerable areas
✅ Supports long-term performance – Strength allows you to run further, faster, and more consistently

Key areas runners should focus on include glutes, calves, hamstrings, quads, and core. Just 2 short strength sessions per week can make a big difference.

If you’re struggling with niggles or want to stay injury-free this season, we can design a runner-specific strength programme tailored to you.
