Update from Tay Sports Therapy: Foot Injury 🦶

Unfortunately, I’ve fractured a bone in my foot. I’m currently in a moon boot, which I’ll need to wear for the next 4–6 weeks, aiming to be back comfortably weight-bearing in the boot in about 2 weeks time.

This means running and many hands-on treatments are on hold for now. I’ve been in touch with everyone to reschedule appointments, and for those I haven’t yet contacted who are already booked in, you’re all fine and I’ll see you as planned or will update you if needed.

As a practitioner, I fully understand the psychological impact of injury. Frustration, impatience, and the challenge of slowing down when your body wants to keep moving. I’ll be focusing on recovery, rehabilitation, and managing load carefully to return safely and stronger.

Recovery first, performance later. 💪

I’ve completed the FIFA Diploma in Football Medicine from FIFA.

Key lessons: injury prevention, recovery, and return-to-play strategies.

Biggest takeaway? Prevention and preparation are just as important as treatment.

There have been seasons in my life where running has felt like oxygen.

And seasons where even lacing up my trainers has felt heavy.

When stress is high — whether that’s work pressure, family strain, caring responsibilities, emotional load or simply carrying too much for too long — your body doesn’t separate that from training stress. It all counts.

As a therapist, I see it clinically.
As a runner and mum, I’ve lived it personally.

There have been times where I’ve had to shift from chasing pace to simply protecting consistency. From structured sessions to steady miles. From performance goals to nervous system regulation.

This week’s Recovery Report is for anyone trying to keep running while life feels overwhelming.

You’re not losing fitness.
You’re adapting intelligently.

And sometimes that’s the strongest thing you can do.

This Recovery Report explores how to navigate running during high periods of life stress. Psychological stress increases overall physiological load, reducing recovery capacity and increasing injury…

Runners in Perth — stop training through pain.

You wouldn’t ignore a warning light in your car.🔺

Why ignore one in your body?

If you’re training:
• Half marathon
• Marathon
• Ultra
• Or just trying to stay consistent

You need maintenance — not crisis treatment.

Stop Training Through Pain

🚩 If you’ve had the same ni**le for 3+ weeks, it’s not “normal running pain.”

It’s overload without recovery.

At Tay Sports Therapy we treat runners differently:

Assessment → Treatment → Load advice → Prevention plan

Why Sports Therapists Don’t Diagnose — And Why It Matters?

THE RECOVERY REPORT There’s often confusion about roles in musculoskeletal care. If someone works with injuries, shouldn’t they diagnose them? Not necessarily — and that clarity improves care. Diag…

🎉 Celebrating 2 Years of Tay Sports Therapy 🎉

Today marks two years of Tay Sports Therapy being based within Tay Osteopathy — and what an incredible journey it’s been.

A huge thank you to all my clients for your continued support and for helping me grow. From endurance athletes preparing for race day, to gym-goers managing ni**les, footballers in rehab, pregnant clients seeking safe support, and people dealing with back or neck pain. Your trust means everything, and I’m grateful for each and every one of you.

A big thank you to Scone Thistle Football Club for the trust you’ve placed in me to support the team with injury rehab and ongoing recovery. It’s been a privilege to be part of the team’s journey.

Here’s to the last two years, and to many more ahead! 😊

🎗️ Supporting Drew on His 50K for Pulmonary Fibrosis 🎗️

Yesterday I had the privilege of supporting Drew as he took on an incredible 50km run to raise money for Pulmonary Fibrosis, a charity very close to his heart after his mum’s recent diagnosis.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been helping Drew manage the usual training ni**les that come with preparing for such a big challenge — and yesterday I was able to support him out on the course too, running 14.5km alongside him to keep him moving strong.

Drew showed unbelievable resilience, heart, and determination from start to finish. A huge well done for completing such a meaningful challenge. 👏💙

There’s still time to donate and support the cause if you’d like to contribute. Every bit helps and means a lot to Drew and his family.
