CSP CONFERENCE THOUGHTS

This year there is a huge theme regarding Work and Health.

It is brilliant that the CSP has presented the opportunity that is upon us as Physiotherapist to make an impact on the 9.2 Million people off work due to ill health.

Out of the 8 vanguard that has been provided funding ONLY 2 responded to Pip White review on how the WorkWell Scheme is implementing physiotherapy services in their Trailblazer. WHAT A SHAME!

The 2 include South Yorkshire and fortunately how Down2u Health and Wellbeing Ltd x South Yorkshire Housing Association are providing Early Intervention to those at RISK of falling off sick or those who have early sickness absence.

The other includes the brilliant work Pip Norris is doing over in Greater Manchester - linking FCP physiotherapists with a local employment organisation The Growth Company: Employment - this is brilliant in terms health clinicians are having conversation with patients about work and whether they need assistance, however, are physios missing out on providing follow up rehabilitation to get people over their Health barriers to return to work?

Alexandra Bell lovely CSP summary on "physios should be shouting out louder on our talent and skills to help this government's agenda of helping more people back into work".

We have brilliant pocket of physiotherapist out there like Lina Chauhan Karli Gibson Clare Henson-Bowen shouting out about functional rehabilitation.

If you are a Physiotherapist and making a difference in this space, reach out... I would love to connect!

Older doesn't mean weaker

Recently, I have been hearing that strength training trumps any other type of fitness for longer health span.

Mr and Mrs N have come for 3 couples' strength and conditioning sessions on top of knee arthritis and shoulder rehabilitation.

Mrs N knees are feeling great with no pain.
Mr N shoulder is becoming more mobile and stronger.

Christmas is around the corner, why not consider gifting health?

DM us if you want to gift health to a loved one.

October dump

Thank you to everyone who has ever trusted us to build you a better and stronger body.

Pain gets us at any age, and the earlier you receive the right support, the less likely it will impact your life, work, and sport.

You're always going to see us promote heavy lifting, dynamic movements, and challenging tasks to make your normal day to day movements feel a lot easier.

Let's have you in November, with lots more learning, webinars, conferences, and networking. Of course, making a difference to our patients' lives.

🎥 “It motivates me to go back to my previous levels.”

Meet Nikos and Andre — two participants in our Pain Management Programme — sharing their experiences of how Down2U is supporting their journey back into health, confidence, and employment.

Both were referred to us through the Job Centre, and since starting the programme, they've developed practical skills they’ll continue to use every day.

💬 “The breathing and stretching exercises really help me. If I get in pain, I slow my breathing and do the exercises — it takes my mind off it.” – Andre

💬 “It’s helped me work towards the levels I had in the past. It motivates me to keep going.” – Nikos

At Down2U Health and Wellbeing, we work closely with the Job Centre and other partner organisations to support people with both long- and short-term physical and mental health challenges. Our goal is simple: to empower individuals to rebuild confidence, manage pain, and move forward toward meaningful employment.

🌟 Client Spotlight: Andre’s Journey with Down2u 🌟

"My condition affects me, because of my back and my legs. I cannot walk far, I used to be very active..."

Andre came to Down2u Health and Wellbeing after being referred by the Job Centre. Like many of our clients, he was dealing with long-term pain that made daily tasks—like walking to the shed or lifting anything heavy—a real challenge.

When he joined our program, it was a wake-up call for his body.

🗣 “First week was quite a shock to my body. Took me round about 11 days to recover.”

But Andre stuck with it. And in his own words, the impact has been more powerful than expected.

What stood out most to him were the skills that helped him manage pain differently—tools he could use daily to regain control of his body and confidence.

At Down2u, we support individuals like Andre—those living with short- and long-term physical conditions—to rebuild strength, confidence, and the possibility of returning to work.

Whether it's managing pain, improving mobility, or just learning to trust your body again—we're here to help you every step of the way.

💙 You’re not alone. You’re not broken. You’re on your way back.

Meet Nikos 👋

Living with a back condition means every day can feel different—some days are manageable, while others are painful and limit his mobility.

For Nikos, staying fit has always been a way to minimise pain. After years of long-term training and decades of familiar exercises, recovery has been a slow process, but he’s committed to regaining his previous strength.

Working with our Pain Management team, he’s learning how to manage both the skeletal and neural aspects of his condition, using movement and techniques that help him take control of his body again.

His goal? To reach new levels of recovery in the next few months 💪 We’re inspired by his resilience and dedication.

✨ Julie’s Learning Journey ✨

Alongside the exercise, our 6-week Pain Management Program also focuses on education — helping people understand their bodies and how to move safely.

Julie shares how learning more about fibromyalgia and pain has been life-changing. She used to fear that exercise might cause damage, but now she’s discovered that when done properly and carefully, movement is not only safe — it’s essential.

By rebuilding her confidence and learning to “keep moving,” Julie has found she feels stronger, more in control, and better after every session.

At Down2u Health & Wellbeing, we combine knowledge with practice so that people living with pain can take control and keep moving forward.

✨ Julie’s Highlights ✨

Our 6-week Pain Management Program has helped Julie discover strength she never knew she had 💪.

With the support of our team and encouragement from the group, she’s gone from saying “I can’t” to proving “I can” — lifting, jumping, and pushing through challenges she never thought possible.

At Down2u Health & Wellbeing, it’s not just about exercise. It’s about building confidence, connection, and belief in yourself that grows stronger each week.

Julie’s journey shows how the program empowers people just like her to break barriers and discover what’s possible.

Meet Julie 🏃‍♀️

Julie has lived with fibromyalgia for over 20 years. As she’s gotten older, managing it has become more challenging. Mornings often start with stiffness, soreness, and exhaustion. As the day goes on, her body loosens up—but fatigue soon takes over.

About 30%–50% of people with fibromyalgia also experience depression and anxiety, adding another layer to Julie’s daily challenges like many others.

Through her work with our Pain Management team, Julie is learning new ways to cope with fatigue and pain, finding strategies that support both her body and mind.

Her strength lies in her persistence—showing up every day, even when it’s hard, and continuing to move forward. We’re proud to support her on this journey 🌸

Dig deep 2.0

Same 30 miles - 2 years later.

Better weather conditions than 30-degree heat in 2023. Much more sensible with pace and nutrition this time, cramping only with 5km to go instead of at 25km.

Bad preparation for this one,
But we made it through.

Shoes too small, painful toes for 10-15km. Quick shoe change with my mate , which was a life saver!!

I recommend my patients to run with niggles because its safe to, so I must practise what I preach.

With more tape on the body this time, both quads, lower back and neck. Came out the other end with no real issues.
