MJP Therapy

Great way to start the 7s season with the boys. Tough loss in the final but played great all day - looking forward to the rest of the tournaments this summer.

Was wicked to catch up with some medic pals at the tournament

Wicked fun to be asked down to Kennet School last week to speak to their Athlete Development Programme group all about Sports Therapy, injuries, prevention & why it's a good idea to keep on top of body health starting from a young age.

Finished with some play time using different types of splinting + bracing devices

So in celebration of moving into a new clinic at we are giving 3 prizes....

🥇 - 3 x 1 hour treatment sessions
🥈 - Goody bag of some self care & recovery bits

Blog Part Deux

So did anyone's Granny used to tell them that if you cracked your knuckles, you'd get arthritis?

In this blog, I'll be breaking down some of the usual myths that normally associate themselves with Sports Therapy

Click on the link below if you fancy a perusal!

Sports Therapy - The Myth Buster A look and explanation behind some of the myths floating around the profession of Sports Therapy. How are we different to other professionals such as physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors. Why we aren't just sports masseuses and why we like getting asked questions

Awesome to be sponsoring and working with pro boxer ahead of his fight this weekend in Serbia and for future fight camps

Session just focusing on a little bit of mobility and a general freshen up before his flight to Serbia, weigh in and then to bring back the W on Saturday night

1 Month.

Ooft it's good to be back

Honestly don't think I've enjoyed a month of work as much before. Lovely combination of clinic cases in Newbury & Hungerford, football and rugby matches & trainings. Shoutout to first year student Ellie assisting at her first ever rugby game (live or on TV)

Well done to everyone that's been smashing their rehab, some awesome progress being made!

Next week marks the return of Rehab Classes in Hungerford

Let's do it

NEW BLOG

Righto, we've given blog writing a bash

Rather than a sciencey, heavy duty blog, this is more of a relaxed view with all things Sports Therapy. Definitely won't be winning any literary awards and I apologise in advance to any former English teachers for my lack of flowing prose

The first offering: The Return to Fitness & Activity
Featuring lockdown hair, hangovers and some tips about returning to your activities

So if you're struggling with filthy DOMS, picking up ni**les during or post training, please get in contact and we can help!

The Return to Fitness & Activities Looking to get back into sport, fitness and activities post lockdown? Concerned about over doing it? Here's some tips to help you get back to doing what you love without it impacting on your body...too much

Day 4 (yesterday)

Excellent day of writing rehab programmes for previous appointments followed by a smattering of shoulders, elbows and backs in clinic

Followed up with first aid and mobility sessions at rugby training. How good does the Monks Lane Megabowl look in sunsets and floodlights 😍

Day 3

Today, we loaded up the mum wagon with all the equipment and performed some mobile visits to clients in their own abodes - PPE'd up as normal. Job's a good'un

Day 1

We'reeee baaaaaack

Today was spent pitchside covering the trials day. So good to be back pitchside with my wee medical bag. Looking forward to working with the newer members of the squad when they join the programme in August

Tomorrow: clinics in Hungerford & Newbury. Lovely range of shoulders, knees and hip to see followed with prehab with the boys at rugby in the evening

Morning all and apologies for the long silence. To keep me occupied, I''ve been working full time as a site lead for a Lateral Flow covid test site in Newbury whilst I'm not able to work fully in clinic

Hopefully looking at March to begin back properly but 🤷‍♂️

If any key workers or otherwise need a quick lateral flow test, the site in Newbury is up behind the College at the brand new primary school Highwood Copse

Stay safe ✌
