DID YOU KNOW?

When choosing a healthcare professional, qualifications are only part of the picture.

At Yorkshire Sports Therapy, I am proud to be:

✅ MSc Sports Rehabilitation

✅ BASRaT Registered (British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers)

✅ Registered on a Professional Standards Authority (PSA) Accredited Register

BASRaT is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), the same organisation that oversees statutory healthcare regulators such as the HCPC.

What is the Professional Standards Authority (PSA)?

The Professional Standards Authority is an independent organisation, accountable to Parliament, that oversees Accredited Registers for healthcare professionals who are not regulated by the HCPC.

Its role is to help protect the public by promoting high professional standards, improving safety and providing reassurance when choosing a healthcare practitioner.
What does this mean for you?

✔️ Master’s level healthcare education and professional training

✔️ Registration with a recognised professional body

✔️ Adherence to a professional Code of Conduct and Standards of Practice

✔️ Ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to keep knowledge and skills up to date

✔️ Professional indemnity insurance

✔️ Fitness to practise, complaints and disciplinary procedures

✔️ Ethical, evidence-informed assessment, treatment and rehabilitation

✔️ A commitment to patient safety, accountability and high-quality care

Choosing a healthcare professional isn’t just about experience—it’s about education, professional standards, accountability and public protection.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing pain, returning to sport or improving your health and performance, you deserve to know your practitioner is committed to maintaining recognised professional standards.

Your health deserves professional standards.
Always check that your healthcare professional is appropriately qualified and registered with the relevant professional body or statutory regulator where applicable.

Relative strength > ego lifting. 💪 🔥

45 kg bodyweight.
65 kg trap bar.
Then straight into bounds.

Weight on the scales doesn’t tell the whole story. Strength relative to your bodyweight does. 💪

Meet Sonia.

She weighs just 45 kg.

Lately she trap bar lifted 65 kg… then went straight into bounding jumps.

That’s lifting around 1.4 times her bodyweight, followed by an explosive plyometric exercise requiring strength, tendon stiffness and capacity and coordination .

People often focus on how much weight someone can lift.

But relative strength asks a different question:

“How strong are you for your size?”

It’s one of the biggest predictors of athletic movement.

✅ Jumping
✅ Sprinting
✅ Climbing stairs
✅ Running
✅ Calisthenics
✅ Reducing injury risk

Being lighter doesn’t automatically make these things easy. You still need strong muscles, resilient tendons and excellent neuromuscular control to produce and absorb force efficiently.

This is why our sessions aren’t just about lifting heavier.

We build strength that transfers into real life and better movement.

Strong isn’t a body type.
Strong is a capability.

👏 Brilliant work ,

📢 A LITTLE REMINDER & SERVICE UPDATE

I’ve only managed to catch up with a few of you individually about the recent changes to my services and subscriptions, so I just wanted to pop a little reminder on here for everyone. 😊

For clients who have previously purchased blocks of sessions, please remember that these are time-capped and are intended to be used within the agreed timeframe.
I completely understand that holidays, illness and life happen! However, if you decide to take an extended break from training, I can’t always guarantee that your regular reserved day and time will still be available when you return.

As a small business, keeping a regular appointment reserved for a long period without it being used can have quite a big impact on my diary and income, particularly when I have other clients waiting for appointments.

My new subscription options have been introduced to make things clearer and more flexible, while also allowing clients who train consistently to secure their regular sessions.
There’s absolutely no pressure to change — PAYG options are still available — but regular appointment times will naturally be easier to guarantee for clients on an ongoing subscription.

If you’re currently using a block or PAYG and think one of the new subscription options might suit you better, just have a chat with me at your next appointment. I’m happy to talk you through the options and help you choose what works best for you. 😊

Thank you, as always, for supporting my little business and for understandin why I occasionally need to make changes as it continues to grow. ❤️

Just because you see me hanging upside down and doing handstands with calisthenics doesn’t mean I expect you to walk into a session and do the same 😂🤸‍♀️

Everything we do is based on YOU. Your current strength, mobility, movement control, confidence, injury history and individual goals are all considered before deciding where we start and how we progress.

I love combining strength training with elements of calisthenics and gymnastics-based movement. It allows us to work on strength, mobility, coordination, balance, body awareness and confidence — while keeping training challenging and fun.

Some clients might be working towards pull-ups and handstands, while others are building the foundations needed to get there. Every exercise can be adapted, regressed and progressed to suit the individual.

There’s always a method behind what we’re doing, even if sometimes it looks like we’ve joined the circus. 🤡😂

So don’t worry… nobody is getting launched upside down on day one.

And yes… your teeth are safe 🦷😂 and you are not auditioning for the Olympics 🤛

Try. Fail. Learn. Get back up. Try again. ❤️

Training with children is about so much more than keeping them active 💪❤️

It helps build confidence, resilience and the courage to try new things.

They learn that they won’t get everything right the first time… they might wobble, fall or struggle with a new skill, but they get back up and try again.

Every little achievement teaches them that practice and persistence pay off.

These are lessons that don’t just stay in the gym — they carry them into everyday life as they grow. 🥰

Injury isn’t caused by one weak muscle.

Movements like this require:
✔️ Strength
✔️ Mobility
✔️ Stability
✔️ Coordination
✔️ Load tolerance

The better these qualities work together, the better prepared your body is for demanding movements.

Watch to the end to see Josies 🕷️ Spider-Man challenge 🕷️

Watching my 6-year-old niece today reminded me of something we often forget…

Children aren’t exercising to work out.
They’re climbing, swinging, balancing, jumping, hanging, rolling and simply having FUN.

But while they’re playing, they’re building foundations that can benefit them for life.

Regular physical activity during childhood helps to:

• Build stronger bones during the years when bone density develops the most.
• Develop stronger muscles, tendons and joints.
• Improve balance, coordination and movement skills.
• Support brain development, concentration and learning.
• Improve confidence, resilience and social skills.
• Reduce the risk of obesity and many long-term health conditions.
• Create positive habits that are more likely to continue into adulthood.

Research consistently shows that active children have better bone health, improved cardiovascular fitness, stronger muscles, better mental wellbeing and improved cognitive development. Yet around according to the World Health Organisation 80% of adolescents worldwide still don’t meet the recommended activity levels.

As adults, we often spend time trying to regain the movement we naturally had as children.

So encourage climbing, running, hanging and
cartwheels..🤸

It doesn’t have to be organised sport. The best exercise for children is often the one they don’t even realise they’re doing.

Let’s help the next generation grow up seeing movement as something they enjoy, not something they have to do.

Update – Rehabilitation Appointments

To help keep appointments running smoothly and ensure everyone receives the best possible care, I’m making a small change to my rehabilitation follow-up appointments.

Following your initial assessment, you’ll now have two follow-up options:

• Follow-up appointment only – you’re welcome to take notes during your session, and we’ll go through your exercises together.

• Follow-up appointment with a Rehab Guru exercise programme – this includes personalised exercise videos and guidance that you can access after your appointment.

There is an additional charge for this option, as creating and uploading these programmes is completed outside of your appointment time and typically takes between 20- 45 minutes. The first program is included with the initial assessment

If your exercise programme doesn’t need updating, there is no additional charge.

I’d also like to kindly ask that you arrive no more than 5 minutes before your appointment time where possible.

Between clients I’m often having lunch, completing notes, preparing the treatment room, planning rehabilitation sessions, or taking a short break.

Unfortunately, if clients arrive 10–15 minutes early and repeatedly knock on the door, it interrupts this time and can leave me running behind for the rest of the day.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping me maintain the quality of care I provide to every client. Your support is always appreciated.
