Do you sit at a desk all day?

'No' - Lucky you!
'Yes, help me now!'

Its a common misconception that musculoskeletal specialists exist to treat patients after sports injuries. We can! But... we offer a much broader set of services than that! 📋

Occupational hazards bring clients to us every week. Why? Because in the case of desk workers, the human body was not designed to be slumped over a desk all day (you know who you are 🤣)! 🖥👨‍💼📈☕️

But did you know that you can get postural fatigue however good your desk set up is?

This often comes as a surprise. But it's actually about the body you take to sit at that desk for 37 hours a week more than the chair you sit in! It's about the capacity, function, and strength of the body you neatly place or shoehorn in to those perfect or imperfect positions, and how strong it is to absorb the position of choice repeatedly over time 💺

Our specialist team can assess and address postural fatigue, treat the stiffness via manual therapy, but crucially also create a plan to targets the root cause via bespoke programming or PT to put strength where it's needed 💯

If you work at a desk, and want to prevent back, neck and shoulder issues, then you need more than a posh chair, riser desk and fancy mandatory training. You need a body strong enough to cope with the physical demands of being forced to sit all day!

Relate? Get yourself booked in for an assessment!

What you might think rehab is vs reality🤦‍♂️ 😉

A set of generic exercises! ❌️ Not from us!!

Good practice wherever you go should see you walk away with bespoke advice/treatment(s)/programming.

Think of the body like a car 🚘 Two car crashes with front end damage will see two totally different repairs!

In the same way, two sprained ankles are likewise never bashed up in exactly the same way, so a set of generic exercises won't cut it!

Rehab from us is tailor made 👌🏽And a rehab journey isn't always linear 📈

What you have to remember is that the human body is a complex vessel with many factors at play, so where the ankle might have always been weak for one client, another might have a worse injury but be coming at the repair from a stonger base. So the exercises we prescribe for the sprain or torn ligaments will naturally need to be different 🦶

But (and here's where it can get interesting) either one of these clients could have a setback, or apply themselves 100% compared to the other person's 80%, altering the whole trajectory and potentially the later plan!! 📉

See how complex it can get with just one or two considerations and why a handout just doesn't cut it?!

Humans are bespoke, and they need bespoke programming 👌🏽

Yesterday at The Body Project we had another incredible team training day - this time it was all about revising active release techniques for the neck and fascial tool work 👌🏽

Sharpening our skills by continuously learning from renowned Clinic Director Kelly Marshall keeps us at the top of our game, and we always want to be the best at what we do ✌️

Practicing on each other in own clinic environment is always important to us. Not only is being able to move and deploy these techniques confidenty in our own space crucial, but it also helps us get a real feel for how our clients experience our treatments.

Caring about what we do, is what we do best!

Another glowing review for The Body Project 😇
..I really can’t recommend Kelly and Laura at The Body project highly enough. From identifying the problem to creating a solution. They are always available if I had any questions and so supportive and friendly.

I contacted the Body Project in May 2026 with severe pain and swelling in my heel and ankle., which forced me to stop running and even taking short walks. I was very keen to get back to running as I was due to run the Robin Hood half marathon, something I do every year & prior to seeing them both I was worried this was unachievable.

I spoke to the Clinical director Kelly and she arranged a massage appointment with Laura that same week. After one intensive Calve treatment with Laura I felt so much better and the pain subsided.

Laura triaged me onto Kelly for an assessment and Kelly quickly identified the root cause and devised me a bespoke 6 week rehabilitation programme focusing on strength, core and mechanics to get me back running. As I got stronger I advanced onto a running focus programme from Kelly which included continuing the core and leg strength training and adding foot and ankle warm ups, mechanical preparation and running.

Both programmes needed minimal equipment so I was able to do it either in the gym, at home and even on holiday.

Through a combination of regular massages with Laura and following the training programmes from Kelly, I was able to complete the Robin Hood Marathon 😊

We are no ordinary clinic!!

Led by a Clinic Director with a Masters in Sports and Exercise Medicine, Kelly Marshall is a well respected and highly sought after Musculoskeltal Specialist with over 20 years experience in the health and wellbeing industry and often a queue of clients waiting to see her!

Kelly specialises in injury/pain diagnosis, and our carefully chosen team is well versed in the provision of comprehensive musculoskeletal movement assessment to allow us to address muscle imbalances 💪🏽🤸‍♀️🏃‍♂️ We are also proud to provide an in house triage service to resolve chronic and acute pain, and create our own bespoke rehabilitation programs to optimise sports performance.

Kelly's self designed full body movement assessment is ideal for you if you have a complex issue and seek to identify the root cause behind underlying issues such as back, hip, shoulder, neck, knee or ankle pain, however long standing or acute these may be and even where other diagnosises have failed.

In a one-hour session, your practitioner will consult with you around your complaint and guide you through targeted exercises to carefully examine and understand how your body moves and why specific symptoms are occurring 📋

You’ll leave with a much clearer understanding of your body and the issue, rather than just the symptom (which clients describe as a turning point), and as an additional add on service can provide a personalised plan which will typically including a bespoke app-based rehab programme to address the issues identified. Where appropriate, this may also include recommendations for treatment, personal training, or referral for imaging 🩻 🏋‍♀️

We are proud to specialise in fixing issues where other attempts have failed, do not believe in putting up with long standing pain or movement issues, but instead champion the need to live lives to the full without physical limitations 🙌🏽🫶🏽

Fear after injury is a common thing! But we can help to get you moving again 🫶🏽

Our bodies are incredible vessels 🚢 with inbuilt protection systems, and fear is a protective response designed to guard against pain/further injury. Clever stuff!

But the voice in your head can also work against you, creating hyper awareness and anxiety where it no longer has a place.

When movement is perceived as a threat, the body can physically react to 'lock up' around the injured area, reducing movement and making you believe you aren't ready to move yet. And this can create a vicious cycle that's hard to break free from 😟

Most of the time, what you actually need in this heightened senstivity phase is to move!! But the fear alarm is loud, and you daren't, so you don't and the stiffness increases and you gradually lose strength and mobility 🛌

At The Body Project, we fully understand the mental and physical reactions to issues like torn ligaments, bulging discs, and the other common complaints that lead to clients being afraid to move and subsequently losing their way/trust in their body/sense of self after injury 🪞

Our bespoke rehabilitation programmes are designed to rebuild confidence to trust in your body and its power to reheal through carefully designed safe movements. The optimum time to address an injury is straight away, but a comeback is very doable however long you have been out of action for!! 💪🏽🏃‍♂️🤸‍♀️
