We remain open during the current lockdown, as medical services are allowed to continue. We will continue with our strict covid protocols and ask everyone to follow the guidelines and cancel their appointments if they have to self isolate. We continue to offer virtual appointments as a service.
Thank you for continued support and stay safe.

Congratulations to all those who completed the London Marathon today!!
It’s hard enough under normal circumstances let alone without the crowds to cheer you on.
If you are able, try and keep tomorrow, go for a swim or a gentle bike ride.
If you need any help, have any questions or want to book in for a massage just drop us a message and will be more than happy to help.

With gyms reopening this weekend, it’s a good time to remind everyone to phase back in gradually and let your body adapt to the load that you’re putting through it.

Too much too soon is likely to result in injury.

Rest is just as important as your workout.

If you need any advice on how to phase back in or have an injury that you want to train around get in touch.

Which tissues get stronger when loaded? 💪

Great to do some on field rehab with Southend RFC Women's & Girls teams tonight and get outdoors with some sport specific work.

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) which is our governing body have issued guidance that despite lockdown easing, face to face treatment is still not recommended due to the risk of transmission of COVID-19.

We are also aware that a lot of you have picked up injuries during your home workouts or due to working from home. As such, we will now be offering virtual appointments until we are allowed to open back up fully. It is also planned that we will continue to offer these virtual appointments in the longer term due to the convenience of them and the latest evidence proving they are just as effective as face to face assessment.

If you are interested in a virtual appointment please contact us through Facebook, on the phone or by email and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Looking forward to freshening up the gym and the room. Making it all shiny and new for when we are allowed to return to face to face. In the mean time, stay tuned as this week will see a new development for Step Ahead Physio

We're ensuring our LOCKER ROOM Gym is FUTUREPROOF and a few things are changing around here! We will becoming more Premium what does that mean?? When we reopen there will be specific classes, groups that will be our 'Fight Team' meaning active fighters , groups that wanna train in the Sweet Science and don't fight but we love em cos they look the part, groups that want to just train the noble art of Boxing as a way of learning the art of Boxing as well as getting 'fighting fit'. No need to overthink....we'll do all the thinking for you! ALL will we explained soon but in the meantime we're changing how things are run around here and here's an insight of what's happening. Our underground will become a BOXING arena, all you will see down there is things to HIT! Heavybags, Wreckingballs, Speedballs, Reaction Balls, Angle Bags, Uppercut Bags, etc. YES the space is cleared to create more Space to give us more Space to do what we love doing!! 🥊🥊 Upstairs when BOXING CLASSES are not taking place our dedicated team of elite TRAINERS will be busy with a few new projects! I will be running the space as a Sports Performance Training Centre working closely with the Sports College and University on our doorstep as well as of course continuing to fulfill our 'Cowards carry Knives' projects with our local council. We'll be back soon to continue the journey, the cream always rises, our doors are closed for now but we always see the light. BE PART OF IT. WE GO ON ❤️☘️🥊

With immediate affect all physio appointments will be cancelled until further notice. I will be contacting patients individually.

With Covid19 now forcing many people to work from home with less than ideal desk set ups, it is likely that many of you will start to experience upper back and neck pain from working long hours on laptops.

Here are a few ways to help.

You desk set up is vitally important to prevent the pain from starting however it is equally important to move regularly throughout the day.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask us
