Something a bit different for you!

On Tuesday 17th March at 6:30pm, we're hosting a free masterclass at The Cornwall Hotel & Spa in St Austell and we would love you to be there!

It's called The Metabolic and Gut Health Masterclass for Anyone Who Feels Worse Than They Should.

This is for you if you're tired all the time and nobody can tell you why.

If you're carrying weight that won't shift no matter what you try.

If your blood tests come back "normal" but you know something isn't right.

If you live with pain, inflammation, or gut issues that standard advice hasn't touched.

Three speakers. One evening. A completely different way of understanding what's actually going on in your body.

Lou Nicholettos will be presenting on the metabolic drivers behind inflammation, fatigue, and pain - what a functional approach reveals that standard testing misses.

Niki Charnock will be covering the gut health connection — why your microbiome is central to your energy, immunity, weight, and inflammatory state.

And Chris Carpenter will be telling his story in person. Chris lost nearly 10 stone and reversed Type 2 diabetes. He'll explain exactly what he did, how quickly things changed, and why it worked when nothing else had.

It's completely FREE but we only have 40 seats. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Reserve your seat here:

https://info.cornwallphysio.co.uk/landing-page-page
Or call us on 01726 815189.

If you know someone who's been struggling with their energy, weight, or health — tag them or share this post. This evening could change the way they think about what's happening in their body.

Exercise Doesn’t Damage Arthritic Joints – It Protects Them

One of the biggest myths we hear?

“Exercise will wear out my joints.”

The latest research shows the opposite.
Movement actually protects your joints by keeping cartilage healthy and inflammation low… this even includes impact exercise like RUNNING!

At Cornwall Physio, our team designs progressive rehab plans so you can move confidently — whether that’s walking the coast path or getting back to the gym — without pain.

And if your joints are too sore to start?
Our EMTT and Focused Shockwave treatments can dramatically reduce inflammation first — so you can get moving again safely.

"Connor thanks to your efforts I was able to lift my phone up above my head to capture this shot (& others) of the Northern Lights.

Can’t communicate how grateful I am hopefully the photo will do that.
Thank you, Teresa"

Teresa had been suffering for years and even been to other clinics but was still getting shoulder/neck pain.
Connor's been working with her and within a few months she felt "the shoulder it quite remarkable" and was is enjoying the freedom of being able to use it again.
She now comes for regular maintenance to keep the shoulder mobile and sort any other niggles before they become a problem
It's lovely to get such great messages from patients that have trusted the process 🥰

THE ASYMMETRY YOU CAN’T FEEL (BUT YOUR BODY KNOWS)

You’ve done your rehab. Your knee feels strong. You can hop, squat, and lunge without pain. Your physio has cleared you to return to sport. Everything seems fine.

But here’s what you can’t feel: your injured leg is producing 15% less force than your other leg when you land from a jump. Your brain has compensated so well that the movement looks symmetrical. You feel balanced. But your body knows the difference, and that difference quadruples your risk of re-injury.
