Get Back to the Action: Sports Therapy

11/02/2026

Just about to start my last shift today before surgery. I can’t tell you how much I’m going to miss this place and patients. I cannot wait to “Get Back” to it but like many of you with injuries I have to respect the process of healing and come back stronger 💪 healthy and happy 😃

However, it’s more than reassuring to know I am leaving the clinic in the most capable hands with Olivia and Harry. Rest assured they are up to date with my current case load and they will provide you with the best care whilst I am away.

Book online at www.getbacktotheaction.co.uk

Thank you for all the best wishes, I’ve had so far and I will see you all very soon 😘

NEWS FLASH = NOTICE TO ALL FOLLOWERS AND PATIENTS
==============================================
I (Pippa) would like to let you all know that I will be on extended medical leave due to upcoming surgery. It is expected my recovery will be 8weeks. My last day in clinic is Wednesday 11th February and my return will be sometime in mid April. This will be communicated nearer the time.

Please be assured this is a planned surgery and recovery and I will work closely with my doctors on my return. During this time I will be fully offline and unable to respond to email, calls and messages. I will be pleased to reconnect with patients when I am ready.

Olivia and Harry are covering the clinic and patient in my absence. It is imperative to me that patients continue their treatment and all cases will be handed over fully to ensure consistency of care and rehabilitation. Olivia and Harry will be in contact with me should they need to on any cases.

Please book appointments online via the website link and if you need to contact the staff during my absence contact information can also be found on the website.

I would like to thank Olivia and Harry for their commitment and support to myself and the clinic in my absence and to all our patients and followers for your patience and understanding in this matter.

The Rehab Room = New Year Check Up
=============================
Team GBTA hope's everyone is atarting the year healthy ad injury free.

We wanted to remind everyone that you do not need to have a sporting injury to come in to see me here in our Stokesley clinic. Whether it’s a running injury, a sporting injury, chronic back pain, osteoarthritis, or you’ve hurt yourself doing some DIY or in the garden.. we see it all! Here at Get Back to the Action, we complete comprehensive assessments to identify the primary causes of your pain or injury, not just the symptoms. Most problems are multifactorial and a meticulous assessment allows us to identify and address all the relevant factors for your case.

You will then receive the hands on treatment that you are looking for to help improve and ease your pain and symptoms. You will then be prescribed a personalised rehabilitation plan using our top of the range software, which will guide you through tailored exercises and treatments to reduce pain, restore movement and strength, prevent re-injury, and support safe, efficient recovery in line with your goals and wishes in the long term. If required, we are able refer you back to your GP, or for scans like X-ray and MRI, but only if it’s necessary.

Between myself, Olivia and Harry we have over 20 years of combined experience in assessing and rehabilitating pain and injury. You’ll struggle to find a clinic with as much diverse experience and high level education, from degrees in Sports Therapy and Physiotherapy, to masters degrees in Sports Medicine and Multimodal Rehabilitation.

Here at Get Back to the Action, it’s not just injury rehabilitation that we offer. We can also offer you the following services:
- Sports/deep tissue massage
- Dry needling/acupuncture
- Ultrasound
- Spinal and Peripheral joint mobilisation
- Gait analysis, foot scanning and custom orthotic insoles
- Discount on the leading Orthopaedic pillow provider.
Basically, everything you could need, and nothing that you don’t.

Review from about his recent trip to GBTA for calf injury.

06/01/2026

Visit from an old friend - Ryan Sidebottom
================================
In mid December I received a call from friend and retired England International Cricketer . I also have to mention his performance on Dancing on Ice!

I haven't seen Ryan in many years but I have known him most of my life, from kids watching and supporting our dads playing for - although I think as kids we had more fun, with our siblings, playing on the scaffolding bars under the temporary east stand at Headingley than watching too much cricket!

Either way, when Ryan contacted me about his calf injury I was more than happy to help him. So, he popped over to the clinic just before Xmas to have an assessment, treatment and rehab plan. He also wanted to share his thoughts on his visit which will follow in the coming days. He also had a Gait Analysis which I will decipher with you all at some point soon and with his permission.

Calf injuries are a common occurrence at this time of year as people start to increase activity but they are also likely in sports involving short bursts of pace including football, rugby, tennis to mention a few. So if you have had a recent or chronic calf injury, have recurrent tears or are struggling to return from the injury we are here to help. There is plenty that can be done to reduce injury time and yes - Get you, Back to the Action!

At Get Back to the Action Sports Therapy we use data driven analytics to see spikes in injury types. We always see a spike in tendon injuries in the first few months of the new calendar year. From the 3rd week of January to the end of February being the peak time of this.

We routinely see: achilles, tibialis posterior dysfunction, patella tendonitis (PFS), increased cases of plantar faciitis and gluteal injuries in runners; rotator cuff and bicep tendonitis in weight lifters. We also see increases in lower back pain across the board.

If there is one thing you should look to include is a good mobility and flexibility regime or dynamic and static stretching. You want to have long, strong muscle fibres to be able to use your muscles to their full potential as well as being able to mobilise the joints through their full range of motion.

Over the coming weeks we are here to support you online, on our social platforms and in clinic.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our patients. Thanks you for your ongoing support in our services and we wish you all the best for 2026. There are some appointments between Xmas & New Year but we reopen fully and with 20 more appointments per week from Monday 5th January.

Pippa, Olivia and Harry

Olivia Brown MSc Sports Medicine

I am so proud to announce that after two years of committing to a part time degree, alongside working and building her growing profile within GBTA Olivia has now obtained Masters with Distinction in Sports Medicine from Leeds Beckett University.

I have known Olivia since she undertook her undergraduate work placement with me 2018. Since she has come on board, she has worked hard, developing her knowledge and skills in various areas and is continuing to flourish into her Sports Therapy career.

Working and studying is not an easy task, especially with the travelling she was having to undertake. She has never let this affect her work both at clinic and at university and she can now take pride in her efforts and look forward to the future….and a glass of fizz!

Well done Liv!
