A Right Royal Charter
Love it or hate it, agree or disagree, you cannot deny that Physiotherapy is in a state of flux (I discussed this in a previous blog here) Of course, as a science based profession, this is how things should be. More questions than answers, always moving forwards, forever a journey, never a destination. However, clinicians…
Read MoreA Christmas Back Cracker….. (a guest post by Tom Bounford)
It all started one foggy Christmas Eve when I was delivering the presents as I normally do. I was bending down to put a child’s bike under the tree and ‘wham’, Holy night, I felt a pain like an icicle stabbing through my back. The next day it was throbbing like Rudolph’s nose and it’s…
Read More#The Big R’s (Manchester and Beyond)
Some very articulate and well-reasoned write-ups about The Big R’s were online before the room had even stopped spinning for me, following a very boozy post- event debrief. My first thought, was Tea! My second- that some people need to get out more! But as the fog of hangover cleared, the need to put my…
Read MoreLet’s Move
So as usual, my blog is a collection of my rambling thoughts and opinions, but where applicable referenced or signposted to more information. Enjoy! ‘EXERCISE … really does work! #Prancercising Get in touch with your sensual nature … Develop the CV ability of a deer with the gracefulness of a jazzercise instructor’ This was the…
Read MoreThe Prodigal Physio
I was recently invited to The big R’s event organised by Chews Health TPMP and Connect Health, a conference that brought together forward thinkers in the profession with the aim of instigating change. I felt honoured, to be invited, perhaps more than most in that room. Why? Well once upon a time, I had Physio Apathy.…
Read MoreJuliet Bravo. Are You Receiving Me?
I have a bee in my bonnet at the moment and thought a blog might be a more productive use of my time, rather than arguing with strangers on Facebook. The bee, and how it came to buzz, we shall get to in good time. First I wanted to set the scene a little, give…
Read MoreChange Ahoy! A metaphorical journey through modern Physiotherapy……..
Like it or not, there is a sea change ahead in Physiotherapy. Rather than making things clearer and steering us towards consensus, advanced investigative techniques and an increasing evidence base have, if anything led to a greater uncertainty and more debate amongst our numbers. Many traditional treatment options are being scrutinised under the research microscope,…
Read MoreAffairs of the Heart (shoulders, knees and toes)
I recently agreed to go out with a guy I met on a dating site, in part, due to his attitude towards injury. We shall call him Mr X (in the interests of mystery and intrigue). This may seem like a bit of a weird reason to go out with someone, but let me explain.…

Bringing you a guest blog by Sharrow Carvell. I first met Sharrow (or Spoo as she is known) on a wet and windy Dartmoor ride. It was obvious from the off this girl had guts, and she soon became a well respected member of our group with her grit and determination, but when she told…
Read MoreA Different Perspective
When I was asked back in March to be part of a team for the 20th and final Mountain Mayhem event, it sounded like a great idea. I’m always keen to understand the client’s perspective, and for the last 3 years, Revolution Sports Physio has provided Physiotherapy support and sports massage at a similar event…
