This year gave us both ends of the spectrum.

Wins that reminded us why we do this
– Patients hitting goals they didn’t think were possible
– Seeing people move, train and live again with confidence
– Being trusted with care, day in and day out

And the harder bits
– Long days, full diaries, complex cases
– Navigating a healthcare system that doesn’t always make things easy
– Holding space for people on tough days, not just their injuries

The highs don’t exist without the lows.

As we step into 2026, we do it grateful — for our patients, our team, and the community that’s trusted us for nearly 20 years.

Here’s to showing up again in 2026.

New look. Same standards.

We’ve refreshed our website — not to be flashy, but to make things clearer, easier, and more useful for the people who matter most: our patients.

What hasn’t changed?
✔ Evidence-based physiotherapy
✔ Honest advice
✔ Experienced clinicians
✔ A focus on long-term results, not quick fixes

The new site reflects who we are now, after 20 years in the community — professional, approachable, and grounded in what actually works.

Launching soon. Keep an eye out.

You might notice some changes over the next few weeks. Don’t worry, we aren’t all turning into AI bots.

There’s been a lot of work going on behind the scenes to make sure we keep brining you the best service we can.

We are passionate about providing top level physiotherapy. Which is why you’ll see some changes.

Some great physiotherapists. Even better service.

Some changes include our website, booking options (both made simpler). The way we structure our diaries and ultimately the service we are offering you.

It’s all very exciting!

After a total knee replacement, the early foundations matter more than people realise.

Here’s what we prioritise in the clinic — and why 👇

1️⃣ Regain knee flexion
Bending your knee isn’t just about comfort. Adequate flexion is essential for stairs, sitting, dressing, and returning to everyday life. Delay this early on and it becomes much harder to restore later.

2️⃣ Re-establish a normal walking pattern — ASAP
Limping isn’t “just part of recovery.”
The longer an altered gait sticks around, the more your body compensates — often leading to hip, back, or opposite knee pain. Early, guided walking sets the tone for long-term movement quality.

3️⃣ Restore optimal muscle activation
After surgery, establishing good muscular activation helps with number 2, and sets the foundations for ongoing strengthening and return to hobbies — especially the quads, calf and glutes. Without retraining them, strength plateaus and progress stalls. Activation comes before power.

✅ Pain relief is important.
✅ Confidence is important.
But function is the goal.

Do the right things early, and your knee will thank you later.

What to do after a knee replacement (if you want to get back to the things you love)

A new knee isn’t the finish line — it’s the starting point.

Pain relief is only step one.
To return to walking, gardening, golf, travel or sport, your knee needs progressive strength, confidence and ongoing loading.

✔ Keep strengthening past the “I feel okay” stage
✔ Build leg strength, balance and control — not just range of motion
✔ Gradually reintroduce the movements your hobbies actually demand
✔ Stay consistent (even when rehab feels less exciting)

Rest alone won’t prepare your knee for real life.
Smart, guided loading will.

That’s how you protect your new joint — and get back to doing what matters.

If you’re unsure what next level rehab should look like, we’re here to help.

Back pain doesn’t usually come from one ‘wrong’ movement or just one weak muscle.

It’s more often about how your body is managing load over time.

In clinic we don’t chase quick fixes or rest-only advice.
We look at movement, strength, lifestyle and recovery. Then build a plan that actually holds up in real life.

✅keep moving
✅Build strength where it matters
✅progress load with confidence
✅treat the whole person not just the pain

Back pain is common.
Staying stuck in it doesn’t have to be.

If you feel you’re stuck in a cycle, it’s usually a sign that something needs guidance, not avoidance.

Many people assume that being “balanced” means being perfectly symmetrical. But the research shows that isn’t how human bodies are built — or how they perform.

A large 2022 review highlighted that asymmetry is normal, functional, and expected. Even elite athletes show 5–15% differences between limbs without any reduction in performance.

Importantly, current evidence shows that asymmetry does not automatically increase injury risk. In fact, it’s often the injury that creates the asymmetry, especially after issues like ACL tears.

So rather than chasing perfect 50/50 symmetry, you’ll get better results by focusing on:
• Strength
• Tissue capacity
• Load tolerance
• Confident, varied movement

These are the qualities that help keep you active, resilient, and doing the things you love

Here’s something we can say with confidence:

Shoulders aren’t as complicated as they often are made out to be.

It’s easy to get caught up in believeing that every millimeter of movement needs to be analysed, every muscle needs to be perfectly positioned to be switched on…. But in real life, with real people and REAL recovery?

Shoulders respond best to simple consistent loading.
No fear or micromanagement.

They are adaptable, resilient and designed to move.

Online or inperson appointments.
Let’s get you moving comfortably again.

Your body handles more than you think with every stride. Train it well.

Running is load management. String tissues, fewer issues.

These winter months are built for building resilience.
