A week ago today, Ian took on the Ironman 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

And in the last (for now!) episode of Talk with Tess, we’re getting into the finer details of race day — the highs, the lows, the unexpected moments and everything that went into making it across that finish line. 🏁

A HUGE thanks to everyone that has sent messages of support, donated to our page & checked in on Ian post race 🩶

🎙️ Tune in for the final episode and relive race day with us!

✨When people hear “Women’s Health Physio”, they often think pregnancy and postnatal care—but that’s only a small part of what Jo Dafforn does

Here are just a few reasons you might benefit from an assessment:

💧Leaking urine when you cough, laugh or exercise

🤍Pain during s*x or when using tampons

🦴 Persistent pelvic, hip or tailbone pain

🪑 Constipation or difficulty emptying your bowels

🚻A constant urge to wee “just in case” or needing the toilet frequently

🏃‍♂️Returning to running, the gym or sport safely after injury, surgery or menopause

🩹 Painful scars following a C-section, episiotomy or gynaecological surgery

⬇️ Symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, such as a feeling of heaviness or pressure

The truth is, many of these symptoms are common—but they aren’t something you simply have to live with.

If you’ve been struggling with any of the above Jo Dafforn is ready to assess and create a personalised treatment plan to help you get back to living confidently. Alternatively, if you feel you have a few burning questions to ask before committing to an appointment, take advantage of Jo’s free 15 minute telephone consultation

💭 Imagine this…

You’ve just felt a sudden pop in the back of your ankle 😳!

Walking is painful,your calf feels weak and you’re pretty sure something isn’t right.

Now imagine being told you’ll have to wait weeks just to find out what the injury actually is… 🗓️

Thankfully, Mr A didn’t have to.

Mr A came to us with a suspected Achilles tendon rupture. Within 24 hours, he’d had an ultrasound scan, his diagnosis was confirmed, the appropriate medical treatment was put in place, and our physiotherapy team could start planning his personalised rehabilitation programme.

No weeks of uncertainty. No guessing. Just a clear diagnosis, a clear plan, and the right care at the right time.

As you can imagine, Mr A was absolutely delighted with how quickly everything happened—and so were we.

Early diagnosis and timely treatment can make all the difference, giving patients confidence and the best possible start to their recovery.

If you’re worried about a sports injury or sudden muscle or tendon problem, don’t wait to get it checked.
