People seem to forget to pay attention to and look after that very important and complex thing….YOUR BODY.

You will go to your hairdresser every six weeks for that cut and colour….the barbers every month for that trim…the dentist twice yearly for your check ups…the personal trainer twice weekly and shop online as much as possible….but the thought of getting the professional advice needed to address your injuries, prevent injuries or treat any issues you have, seems to be something that we are reluctant to do.

Physiotherapists specialise in the workings of the body. We will identify the cause of YOUR pain. We will devise a treatment plan and advise you on what you need to do to alleviate that pain and ensure it stays away.

Do the best for yourself…treat your body well and remove those aches and pains from your daily struggle.

If your still not sure WHY YOU SHOULD BE ATTENDING A PHYSIOTHERAPIST….keep reading! 💪🏻

Have you ever suffered from neck pain...if you have, then you, like so many of my clients, are well aware of how much it affects your life. You can’t sleep, you can’t drive, housework is a no go (at least there’s 1 positive) and driving isn’t even considered...you can’t even have that cup of tea or coffee (or stronger) that you have craved, without pain.
Always make an appointment to get a proper assessment and treatment plan, to ensure you achieve pain free movement and the right advice/tips on how to stay pain free.

Although today is world mental health day, it’s something we need to be mindful of on a daily basis. People are affected by different things in so many ways and it’s important that we as friends, family or work colleagues offer them that ‘someone to talk to’. So many of my clients come not only for treatment but have that time to talk and just have someone to listen to them. Never be afraid to confide and open up to the people around you! Keep active....talk....cry if you need to - always know....someone cares!

Education is the key.....
When people are in pain and are given therapeutic exercises, often they are nervous and afraid to get moving. It is so important to discuss how you feel with your physiotherapist....your feelings are very real and will impact on your recovery.
Movement and exercise as prescribed by your physiotherapist is safe and will not cause you further deterioration.

A lot of people avoid weight training or think it’s better to avoid certain activities or types of training for the fear of what it will do to theit bodies. There are so many benefits to the various tissues and structures within your body when you ‘load’ them. Make sure you train correctly with a good technique...or you will be seeing me sooner than you think! 🤔😜

Saturdays thought for anyone like me who has always suffered from the dreaded tight hamstrings...get stretching!!!

It’s so important to remember that Physiotherapy is unlikely to be that quick fix you think is out there. After you are assessed, diagnosed and a treatment plan given, this does not mean that you should never return. I get so many clients who went to physio before but only attended once and say it didn’t work so never went back. No physio will ‘fix’ you in one session. If you have had months of pain or discomfort, surely you would agree that it’s worth a few sessions with someone who knows what they are doing with a goal of easing your pain and making your daily grind that bit better.
