A little mobility between patients goes a long way 💪 Keeping myself moving so I can keep you moving.

13/11/2025

Since becoming a parent, I truly understand my patients when they tell me they don’t have time to exercise.

Most of us could, in theory, squeeze in an hour in the evening… but after a busy day, the energy just isn’t there. And honestly, having time to decompress is important too.

I’ve realised that if I want to prioritise movement, it needs to be planned like an appointment, something I schedule in rather than hope will happen. And I’m learning to accept that it won’t always be perfect. Something is always better than nothing. This isn’t my season for PBs, and that’s okay.

If you’re struggling, be kind to yourself. Those small steps you take to be more active will add up and pay off over time. 💛

2 exercises I might give you in the early stages of acute lower back pain (and why):

1) “Good Morning” pattern
This helps gently mobilise and lengthen the posterior chain, including glutes + hamstrings, while encouraging activation of the erector spinae.
This version is low-load, controlled and simple, so it’s a great confidence builder when the back feels vulnerable.

2) Marching on the spot
I use this a lot with acute, sharp-onset episodes. A sudden twinge often makes people guard and stiffen up.
Marching can help ease this by moving the pelvis rhythmically and gradually encouraging the spine to move again, a useful tool before you set off walking.

A note on the evidence 🤓:
There isn’t one single “best” exercise - in acute lower back pain the research consistently tells us that whatever movement you can tolerate is the best one for you.

For many people that simply looks like gentle walking, little and often, and building back up from there. 🚶 🚶🏻‍♀️

We’re officially open! 🎉

I’m so pleased with how the new clinic has turned out! It’s the perfect space to meet patients, both new and returning, carry out assessments, treatments, and go through exercises together. We can do it all under one roof!

My goal has always been to help my patients receive the best possible treatment, build strength, and soar beyond recovery. I truly feel our new space allows us to do just that.

I can’t wait to welcome more of you soon. If you have any questions about how I can help, please feel free to get in touch. And if you’re ready to get started, you can book your appointment using the link below.

✨ Feel the fear, and do it anyway ✨

One of my best friends bought me this frame for my 21st birthday, and it’s had pride of place in my living room for the last decade.

With so much change in my life as I take the steps to open my own clinic, I’ve been feeling all the emotions; excitement (if I could show 21 year old Lucy where I am now, she’d be so proud!) but also, naturally, a bit of anxiety about taking a leap. That quiet voice that whispers, “What if it doesn’t work out?”

It got me thinking about how similar this feels to the start of a rehab journey, especially if you’ve been injured or in pain for a long time.

It’s completely normal to feel some nerves when first seeing a physiotherapist:
“Will they understand?”
“What if it doesn’t work?”

Although hands-on treatment and exercise prescription are a big part of what I do, listening and building relationships are just as important, if not more so.

I’ll always be honest with you about whether I think I can help, and I’ll make sure you’re always in the driver’s seat throughout your recovery.

So what are you waiting for?
Feel the fear, and do it anyway. 💪

💪🏻 Practice what I preach – As an active person who loves the outdoors and has always played sport, I understand the challenge of fitting rehab into real life. I’ll only give you a plan that’s realistic and something I’d do myself.

🦻 Attentive and compassionate – I’m passionate about listening to your story and connecting the dots. My priority in every session is making sure you feel heard and understood.

👊🏻 Persistent – Recovery isn’t always linear, but I’ll leave no stone unturned in helping you improve. I love what I do and will work with you every step of the way to get you back to what you enjoy.

☀️ Vitamin D Reminder

You probably know that vitamin D is essential for strong, healthy bones, but did you know it also supports muscle health, mood, and energy levels?

Some research even suggests that, when combined with physiotherapy, higher vitamin D levels may help reduce pain.

In the UK, it’s recommended that adults take a daily vitamin D supplement of 10 micrograms (400 IU) from October to March, when sunlight exposure is limited.

With summer now behind us, it’s a great time to check your supplements and support your overall health as we head into the colder months. ❄️
