Collaboration with Edser UK

Thoughts from Edser:
At Edser, we've rethought what a TPU orthotic shell can be. Our manufacturing process delivers a shell that combines premium aesthetics with true clinical practicality—easy to modify, solid throughout, compatible with intrinsic posting, and engineered to give clinicians more options without compromise.

Innovation only matters if it solves real problems.

We're proud to be working with Edser.

Blood Pressure Awareness Week
This week is Week, finding out your numbers is quick, painless, and could quite literally save your life.

High blood pressure affects millions of us, it remains one of the leading preventable causes of premature death and disability, but so many have no idea.

Once you know your numbers, you can take simple steps to lower them and drastically cut your risk of a stroke or heart attack.

Top Tips for Maintaining Healthy Blood Pressure
✅ Stay physically active and aim for regular exercise
✅ Maintain a healthy weight
✅ Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
✅ Reduce your salt intake where possible
✅ Limit alcohol consumption
✅ Avoid smoking and va**ng
✅ Manage stress through relaxation techniques and self-care
✅ Get enough quality sleep
✅ Stay hydrated throughout the day
✅ Have your blood pressure checked regularly, even if you feel well

A quick check can help identify potential issues early and support better health outcomes. Checking can also be easy – an at home bp monitor is easy and safe to use.
👉 Don't guess—know for sure. Check your blood pressure this week and encourage a loved one to do the same!

Yes, this. Couldn't agree more! 🎉

Like Megan says: 10 minutes is still 10 minutes, and it counts.

The Exercise of the Moment: The Humble Wall Squat 🧗‍♂️
Recently, I’ve thrown (Roz here, S&C coach at the clinic) this single exercise at a whole host of bodily complaints:
• An angry patella tendon (tendinopathy often behaves best when static) ⚡
• A wobbly lower back (hello, wall feedback for spinal stability) 🪵
• A fearsome hip (glutes ah-ha there you are, finally doing their job) 💥
• A mucky, stiff ankle (joint mobilisation via gravity) 🧱

The result? High-yield, huge-effect neuromuscular adaptation with zero gym gear. It is the ultimate rehab and warm up tool.

Choose your own biomechanical adventure:
You can tweak the variables instantly depending on what part of your anatomy is currently shouting at you:
• Stance: Knees in or knees out.
• Position: Close to the wall or further out (lever lengths matter).
• Depth: Deep cellular burn or a shallow, respectful hold.
• Upgrades: Add foam rollers, resistance bands, or sliders if your clothes have too much friction.
The Best Part, in my opinion:
• Space needed: Just enough wall to lean on.
• Time required: Minimal minutes, maximum metabolic response.
Winning all the way. Find a wall, drop your hips.

Oh WIMBLEDON, how we look forward to you arriving each year! 🎾🌱
From its humble beginnings in 1877 to the world-stage spectacle we love today, the Wimbledon Championships are packed with incredible history and quirky traditions.
Here is how the world's oldest tennis tournament evolved into the ultimate summer tradition and maybe for some, a welcome distraction from that other tournament:
⏳ The Evolution
• 1877: Just 22 men entered the inaugural tournament at Worple Road after seeing an advert in The Field magazine. A tiny crowd of 200 watched Spencer Gore become the very first champion!
• 1884: The tournament expanded to include Ladies’ Singles. In an epic family showdown, Maud Watson defeated her sister Lilian to take the crown.
• 1922: A massive milestone as the tournament moved to its famous current home on Church Road.
• 1970s: Colour TV arrived, bringing the lush green courts to life around the globe, while the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum opened to celebrate its centenary.
• 2013 & 2016: British tennis history was rewritten when Scotland's Andy Murray broke a 77-year drought to triumph on Centre Court. 🎉🏅🇬🇧
🍓 Shocking Stats & Fun Facts
• 54,250 balls are used per tournament, kept inside specialized refrigerators to stay in pristine condition.
• Yellow balls were introduced in 1986 so viewers could easily spot them on TV—before that, they were white!
• 8 mm is the exact, millimetre-perfect height the grounds team cuts the 20 grass courts all year round.
• 2 million fresh strawberries are devoured by fans over 14 straight days of world-class action.
• Rufus the Harris Hawk is a star employee, currently 17 years old, with his own online following, flying high above the venue to keep local pigeons away from the courts.
• 11 hours is the record for the longest match in history, played across three gruelling days!
What is your favourite Wimbledon tradition—the strawberries and cream, Henman Hill / Murray Mound, or the strict all-white dress code? 👇
