Ahh I have a warm fuzzy feeling today. I attended the long awaited opening of the new premises for .

Rumour has it, over 500 people came through the doors today and many of them collected a free tree from for Cornwall.

I feel especially fortunate as this buzz of community spirit is right opposite and after over a year of being open, I’m gradually having a bit more time to fulfil more community integration. Also enabled by my other community roles:

💚Sustainability Officer and Surfboat Captain for (if you’re a surf club member and interested in either of these things, do join the groups within the )- if you’re not a member and interested just get in touch with me directly!

💚 Board member for - their new ‘place based’ funding helping to address barriers to an active life in both Penzance and St.Austell. Yet continuing their incredible work with youngsters via schools and the HAF project, walking groups, park yoga, live longer better, Parkinson’s groups- to name but a few.

💚 As member and initial committee of the new Environmental Physiotherapy Network. If you’re a member of the CSP, do join this group and attend our AGM this coming Monday 26th.

💚As a member of . People of the perranzabuloe parish do attend PACE’s ‘Spring into Action’ event this coming May held in the garden (beside the new youth club and pitches).

Storm Goretti left Perranporth without electricity and WiFi. Unable to contact anyone, I headed to the clinic with some candles 🕯️My intrepid morning patients showed up and had sessions by candlelight and worked hard to keep warm😮‍💨. Thankful to have not yet made the full transition to digital notes- AI is useful, but so is A4!

Well done to everyone working to cleanup and help those more severely impacted by the storm. A useful wake up call to be grateful for the simple things.

I’ve just returned from a reflective walk on my local beach after attending the CSP Conference in Newport — and I’m carrying home a real sense of momentum and possibility. I was there to support the launch of the new CSP Environmental Physiotherapy Network (EPN), a development that feels both timely and important for the future of our profession. Great to see some other Cornish physios there too! 💪🏼

While the work often starts with small operational changes — procurement, divestment, greener working practices — it’s clear that our role reaches much deeper. The social determinants of health (income, education, housing, food security, green space, working conditions, the ability to live an active life) are profoundly shaped by environmental and climate pressures, and those already facing inequality feel these impacts most acutely. The economic and environmental cost of managing preventable chronic conditions is enormous.

However, Physiotherapy that adapts to the whole person — their context, their story, their lived reality — is inherently sustainable, preventative, and empowering. It strengthens communities as much as it restores individuals. If this is the direction our future professional identity is moving in, then the launch of the EPN marks a significant and hopeful milestone. 💚

I truly hope many more CSP members will see themselves reflected in this work and join us in shaping what comes next. If you’re a member of the CSP, use the QR code to join.👇
