I really should make more effort to post on here….I’m sorry, I barely have time to fit all my physio in let alone social media πŸ˜‚.

You can usually find me at the local private healthcare provider πŸ₯ (you know the one, green logo πŸ’š, a couple of big local gyms πŸ’ͺ) where I work in MSK Outpatients and Orthopaedics for 37.5hrs a week.

I’m concurrently completing my masters degree, MSc Advanced Clinical Practice πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸŽ“, which will allow me to be a recognised ACP….one of the highest recognised clinical bands within Physiotherapy βœ….

When I’m not doing these things, or looking after two small children πŸ‘ΆπŸΌ, I make time to see a small group of private patients….which I run through here or through WhatsApp.

If you’ve found your way here either through word of mouth or through random chance, feel free to give me a call πŸ“ž, WhatsApp πŸ“² or DM πŸ“© to discuss all of your physio needs.

It must be something about the cold weather ❄️, but I’ve had 3 ankle referrals in 2 weeks πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«.
Lateral ankle injuries are debilitating and frustratingly slow to recover, and sometimes can need help to regain lost range of dorsiflexion (toe up movement) and lost balance and stability secondary to the injury.
Some things just get better with time and patience, but if things aren’t progressing as you hoped then give me a call πŸ“² or drop me a message βœ‰οΈ!

Have a good week everyone πŸ‘πŸΌ

And just like that…..after a worldwide pandemic…..we are back! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
I’ll be running an out of hours evening and weekend service, either home visits or in local gym facilities.

Is work giving you chronic back issues?
Have you had a recent sports injury?
Is your return to the gym hampered by a non resolving pain?
Have you had, or are you due, some surgery?!

Give me a message on here βœ‰οΈ or call me on 07792158610 πŸ“ž and we can chat about how I can help πŸ™‚πŸ‘πŸΌ

This is exactly why you're wasting your money on acupuncture, ultrasound, shockwave, (insert next 2020 fad here).

❌ Changing the rhetoric around back pain ❌

We're all guilty of something called confirmation bias. This means that if we have longstanding beliefs or opinions (on anything!) then we will tend to search for, interpret or favour supporting evidence over evidence against our beliefs. I'm just as guilty as anybody else!

For this exact reason, changing people's mindsets on their back pain is incredibly difficult for any healthcare professional.

Challenge yourself.... I guarantee that all of us favour one of these disproven 'facts' below ❌❌❌❌

DM for any enquiries πŸ“¨βœŒοΈ

So this caught my eye today πŸ‘€
For anyone who has been for an MRI and received the report listing every possible problem known to man.....this post could be for you 😘

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a moderate to large cohort study, people who only had ONE painful shoulder had BOTH of their shoulders scanned ☠️

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The list of conditions that were prevalent in both shoulders, but only symptomatic in ONE, was fairly lengthy, as you can see below! And slightly concerningly (not sure if that's a word), the list of non symptomatic issues are often operated on daily in the NHS and private healthcare! πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This throws up loads of Q's.....
1. Are we treating the source of the pain?
2. Is it the rehab efforts that arent right?
3. Should surgery even be an option?!

Either way, interesting study.

If you're suffering with a shoulder issue, or any issue, feel free to drop me a DM or call πŸ‘

Interesting info graphic regarding recovery from hamstring injuries πŸ’ͺ
These guys are in the top 5 football injuries since the premier League started ⚽
Often under-rehabbed or mis-rehabbed, is graded running drills and acceleration/deceleration practice the bit that's being missed? This would suggest so! πŸƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

If you're getting a little bored of hearing your partner or family member moan about their bad back, knee or any body part for that matter......then why not book them an initial physio assesment for a little stocking filler?! πŸŒ²πŸŽ…πŸŽ. Not only will they appreciate it, but you won't have to put up with all the moaning!
