I’M BACK! 🙌

It’s been a bit of a stop–start few months at the clinic, but from November 1st we’re back to normal days and hours right through to the end of the year 💥

The cycling season’s wrapping up this week, so it’s the perfect time to get those legs (and everything else!) sorted before winter miles and marathon build-ups kick in.

So… where have I been the last 8 weeks? 👇
🇨🇦 Canada
🇷🇼 Rwanda
🇨🇳 China
🇫🇷 France
🇳🇱 Holland
🇨🇭 Switzerland

It’s been an amazing few months away — but I’m buzzing to be back in the clinic and helping you all feel your best again 💪

Need a bit of an MOT before winter training ramps up?
Feeling a few niggles after a big season?
Or just fancy a reset?

📅 Appointments are open now!

Exercise of the week!

⭐️ Banded Side Step ⭐️

Most people would have been given this or done this as apart of their s&c rehab plans but this alternate option with a band on both the forefeet and knees is high level and really works the hip muscles.

Why ⁉️

Improved neuromuscular control
Forces better motor control and coordination across hip, knee, and ankle joints, crucial for rehab and performance.
⭐️ Enhanced glute activation
Greatly increases recruitment of the posterior chain, especially glute medius/minimus, which are often weak in those with hip pain.
⭐️ Reduces compensation patterns
Encourages proper alignment and prevents overuse of TFL or quads, common in standard side walks or single-band drills.
⭐️ Simulates sport-specific lateral stability
Athletes benefit from the increased lateral load and control, mimicking cutting, shuffling, or lateral deceleration.
⭐️ Increased time under tension
Two bands increase resistance through a broader range of motion, enhancing muscle endurance and rehab effectiveness.
⭐️ Scalable for all levels
Easily modifiable—adjust band strength or placement to match rehab stage or athletic intensity.

Give it a try.

HEALTH IS WEALTH

After treating and talking to the great Angus Collins who is currently rowing around the UK in a bid to break a world record but also raise awareness for men’s mental health, I wanted to start something where I can offer some help with the skill set I have clinical.

From August, I will be offering Auricular Acupuncture with a special interest in PTSD, Stress and Anxiety in men’s mental health.

I really hope you all can help and support the great Angus by sharing his social media updates and give him a little track

💥 POP GOES THE LEG!? 💥

Ever felt or heard someone say the back of their leg “just went pop” while running or sprinting? It’s a common description we hear with soft tissue injuries — and it’s exactly what happened to this client during a weekend cricket match.

So what’s the first move after an injury like this?

👇🏼 Here’s the plan of action:

We used our Game Ready cold compression therapy machine — a high-tech device that combines intermittent pneumatic compression with ice-cold water circulation. This reduces swelling, pain, and edema in the injured area by actively cooling the tissue and encouraging lymphatic drainage.

✅ Perfect for:
• Twisted ankles
• Sore knees
• Acute muscle or ligament injuries
• Joint inflammation

Once the swelling and pain are under control, we begin gentle rehab and movement restoration. Starting recovery at the right time can reduce overall healing time by up to 70% compared to passive rest alone

One of my Favourite exercises in clinic 🫶🏼

A lot of the time, shoulder pain comes from the frontal chest being tight and posterior muscles being weak with little mobility.

This exercises is simple but great for getting the shoulder moving and strengthening the upper back muscles!

Try it.

Got a shoulder issue that needs treating ⁉️

Firstly, I just want to say

a huge thank you to everyone who has walked through the clinic doors over the past few weeks. Your support and patience while I’ve been traveling for work in Europe means the world to me—I truly appreciate it!

Right now, the clinic is running at 85% capacity, with only a few appointments left this week before I take a well-earned break with my family.

⚠️ Important Update: I will only be available in the clinic from April 14th-18th. I know this is a crucial time for marathon runners, so if you need an appointment, please book now—once I leave on April 19th, I won’t be back for two weeks.

⏳ Spaces are limited—don’t miss out!
