A special few weeks for Team MT 🏅

Our Practice Director, Lauren, and Physio, Kim, have both been working at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, helping look after athletes competing across all sorts of disciplines… from athletics, judo and boxing to basketball, netball, weightlifting and plenty more.

It’s been brilliant seeing two members of our team take their skills onto such a huge stage, working alongside athletes at the very top of their sports. We’re incredibly proud of them both!

At McAvoy Thurley Physiotherapy, we don’t chase fads or rely on scare tactics.

Instead, you’ll find evidence-based advice, honest conversations and practical strategies that help you get back to doing what matters.

If you’re looking for miracle cures, we’re probably not your clinic.

If you want to understand your pain, build confidence and recover with a plan that makes sense…

Follow along! 👋👋👋

Q1 DONE ✅

January to March has been full-on for us… but we wouldn’t have it any other way!

We’ve supported a huge range of patients - from general recovery right through to complex, long-term rehab. It’s been a privilege to be part of that journey.

We’ve had some amazing feedback across email, Google… and even in the form of chocolate (completely unnecessary, but very appreciated 🍫).

Alongside clinic life, we’ve:

• Supported local sports clubs with matchday physio
• Seen a few of the team escape to the Alps 🏔️
• Renewed sports first aid training
• Celebrated a big milestone - Lauren got engaged 💍
• Welcomed Fiona to the team (with us until at least Oct 👋)
• Practiced what we preach - Lauren & Jac took on HYROX

Behind the scenes, we’ve also been planning the year ahead, making sure we continue to deliver what matters most:

Gold standard physiotherapy. ✔️

No BS. No gimmicks. Just honest, effective care.

Big thanks to everyone who’s trusted us so far this year 🤝🫶

Meet the newest member of our team, Fiona! 👋

Fiona will be joining our team on a temporary basis until at least October, with the possibility of extending beyond that. She has an exciting period ahead personally, including family plans to relocate to New Zealand! 🥝

In the meantime, we’re delighted to welcome another highly motivated and skilled MSK physiotherapist to the team, and we look forward to the expertise and enthusiasm she brings.

Fiona is a motivated MSK physiotherapist who graduated with First Class Honours from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2023. Her strong academic foundation, combined with valuable clinical experience in the NHS, allows her to deliver care across a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. ​

Before qualifying as a physiotherapist, Fiona worked for two years as a Band 4 Therapy Assistant within orthopaedics in NHS Lanarkshire. This early experience gave her a solid understanding of post-operative rehabilitation, orthopaedic injuries and multidisciplinary team working. ​

Following graduation, Fiona secured a rotational post within the NHS, gaining broad clinical experience across multiple specialties. She later progressed into her specialist role in musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy, where she has worked for the past two years, developing particular expertise in sports injuries, rehabilitation and return-to-play programmes. Fiona recently completed a secondment in hand therapy, enhancing her skills in upper limb rehabilitation, tendon injuries and post-surgical recovery.

Alongside her clinical role, Fiona works as physiotherapist for Hamilton Bulls, supporting athletes with injury management, rehabilitation and performance optimisation. She has previously provided physiotherapy support to Motherwell F.C. and the Caledonia Gladiators, gaining valuable experience in elite and semi-professional sport. ​

Outside of work, Fiona practices what she preaches. She regularly competes in triathlons, is currently training for her first marathon, and has ambitions to complete an Ironman later this year. When she’s not training, she enjoys hiking Scotland’s Munros with her two dogs. 🐕🐕⛰️

Physio-led massage… what is it? 🦵👐💪

At McAvoy Thurley Physiotherapy, our massage services are delivered by qualified physiotherapists with detailed knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, pain science and injury rehabilitation.

That means:

• We select techniques based on assessment findings.
• We understand tissue healing timelines.
• We adapt pressure and approach to your injury history.
• We link hands-on treatment to your goals.

The techniques highlighted in this post (and their underlying science) aren’t chosen at random. They’re selected because evidence shows massage therapy can help reduce pain, improve short-term mobility and support recovery when appropriately applied. Our team are experienced (and qualified) to know when it’s inappropriate and something else is at play.

This isn’t a full physiotherapy consultation. But it is targeted, clinically informed hands-on treatment.

Ideal for:

✔ Ongoing muscle tension
✔ Training load aches
✔ Desk-related stiffness
✔ Supporting rehab plans
✔ Maintaining performance

You’ll leave feeling the difference and understanding your body a little better too.

Purposeful treatment. Backed by evidence. Delivered with physiotherapy precision.
