Su***de Prevention Month is an important reminder that mental health is complex, and support can take many forms. One part of that wider picture is the connection between physical health, pain and mental wellbeing.

Exercise isn’t just about physical health. Research shows that physical activity can support mood 💭, sleep and stress management, while movement 🚶 can also play an important role in managing persistent pain and helping us feel more in control of our health.

For those living with pain or struggling with their mental health, even small amounts of movement can be a positive step. And sometimes, simply starting a conversation and knowing you’re not alone can make a difference. 🫶

This Su***de Prevention Month, we’re highlighting the importance of looking after the whole person - mind and body. 🧘‍♀️

We all know the benefits that physical activity can have on our bodies, but what effects does it have on our mental health?

We're back with another update from Charlotte Ash as she continues preparing for the World's Toughest Row alongside the rest of the Ash Family. 🚣‍♀️

In this video, Charlotte shares some of the highlights and challenges she's faced so far in training, as well as the progress the family is making on their journey towards the Atlantic Row in December 2027.

Training for a 3,000-mile row across the Atlantic requires far more than time on the water. Strength, resilience and consistency all play a crucial role, which is why the gym has become such an important part of Charlotte's preparation.

As part of her training, Charlotte recently completed a Lactate Threshold Test with our Strength & Conditioning Coach, Dean Sutton. This test helps identify the exercise intensities at which the body begins to accumulate lactate, providing valuable insight into how Charlotte can train more effectively and efficiently. By understanding these physiological markers, we can help tailor her training, monitor progress over time and ensure she's building the endurance needed for the challenge ahead.

We're incredibly proud to support , in partnership with ***deandco, as the Ash family prepare to take on this remarkable challenge in memory of Charlotte's husband and Camilla, James and Henry's father, Robert, who sadly died by su***de in 2023.

Thank you, Charlotte, for sharing your journey with us. We look forward to continuing to support you and the family every step of the way. For more information about Ash Family Row and Su***de&Co, visit the link in our bio.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our St Paul’s clinic this weekend for our MSK Fundamentals workshop! 🏋️‍♂️📊

A massive shoutout to our Head of Rehabilitation, Jordan Smitham, and senior members of our Rehab Team for leading such an incredible, hands-on training session.

What we covered:
• Hands-on practice with hand-held dynamometry and ForceDecks.
• Objective measurement strategies to optimise patient outcomes.
• Skills you can apply in clinic to help you thrive as an MSK clinician.

It was fantastic to bring together a group of clinicians who aspire to excellence in musculoskeletal care and are committed to continually developing their skills and knowledge.

We loved seeing so many of you collaborating, sharing insights, and learning from one another. 🤝

Rehabilitation can be the journey back to doing what you love.​

With less than six months until the World Championships, semi-professional cheerleader Molly sustained a hamstring tear and underwent surgery to reconnect three tendons that had detached from the bone.​

Following her initial post-surgical rehab, Molly began working with Physiotherapist Amy Todd at our Raynes Park clinic, with one ambitious goal: getting competition ready.​
​
With focused rehabilitation and plenty of determination, Molly made it to the World Championships, strong and ready to perform.​

We’re proud to support the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’s campaign, highlighting the difference access to rehabilitation can make in helping people return to the activities that matter to them.​

🏃‍♀️ Huge news! Claire Small is running the London Marathon 2027! 🎉

Chief Clinical Officer & Consultant Physiotherapist, Claire was successful in the ballot and will be taking on the London Marathon in 2027, raising money for Cancer Research UK.

As Claire shares, the initial feeling when that confirmation comes through can be pretty daunting!

We often share marathon journeys from the perspective of passionate runners who want nothing more than a place on the start line. But not everyone taking on a marathon is an experienced runner – sometimes, it’s about setting yourself a challenge, stepping outside your comfort zone or raising money for a cause close to your heart. And that’s exactly what Claire’s journey is all about.

From now until April 2027, we’ll be following Claire every step of the way – from her training and preparation through to the big day itself. We’ll also be checking in with Claire throughout her journey to see how she’s feeling at each stage.

We’re thrilled to be supporting Claire and backing her throughout this incredible challenge. 💪

Follow us to stay up to date with Claire’s London Marathon journey! 🏅

Today is National Su***de Prevention Day. A day that is incredibly close to our hearts and one that touches so many people around the world. 💙

This year, we are honoured to be partnering with Su***de&Co, an incredible charity providing vital counselling and support services to those bereaved by su***de when they need it most.

Today, we’re introducing you to Charlotte Ash, a member of Ash Family Row, who, alongside her family, will be taking on the World’s Toughest Row in December 2027. They are taking on this challenge in memory of Charlotte’s husband and their father, who died by su***de in 2023. They are raising £500,000 for Su***de&Co, and we are supporting both them and the charity throughout this journey.

Today is an important reminder of the need to work towards removing the stigma surrounding su***de and to keep the conversation open. By talking, listening and supporting one another, we can help ensure that those who need support feel able to ask for it and can access it when they need it most.

We’ll soon be announcing a calendar of activities to support this incredibly important cause, so please keep an eye on our socials for updates.
