Physio’s love and angle … and we love it more when that angle improves and allows better functionality for a patient. Rehabbing a very complex elbow injury is often a give and a take in terms of range of motion , but we are winning 💛🏆.

The surgery is just the beginning.

I often have post-operative patients have an emotional moment on my plinth when they fully realise the journey that lies ahead of them. It can sometimes be a tough road…which requires hard work, consistently showing up for yourself and a healthy dose of patience. But the good news is that we are here to help you walk that road, guide you and lend a shoulder when the tears come.

Get in touch if we can help 🖤

Did you know that your is immune system is closely involved with recovery from exercise? ❤️‍🩹
You cannot optimally recover & build power & strength if you aren’t taking care of the basics for your immune system to thrive like sleep, hydration & nutrition.

I got that long-weekend pump, how about you? ✨👯‍♂️

Sometimes self care looks like cancelling plans for an extra hour of sleep, sometimes it looks like pushing yourself to failure on a max squat, and sometimes it looks like washing your hair just to feel good. Take care xx

My POV ; often looking & feeling from cranium down along the body. As physios we learn to feel out structures from this angle when working in your neck/shoulder/upper back. If you look closely, you can see we are doing some lovely little cervical needles 🪡 here 🤲🏽💛.

He's had a craniotomy to drain the subdural haemorrhage, but is still on the ventilator & not yet taking spontaneous breaths or waking up despite being off sedation😳.
