A top five horror movies

Physio version

1. The patient at 7 pm with bilateral leg pain and urine retention (suspect cauda equina syndrome).

2. The patient at 7 pm with one incredibly swollen calf two months after surgery, having been on a long-haul flight (suspect DVT).

3. A lady that comes in with severe thoracic pain, having been on steroids for 20 years (suspect osteoporotic fracture).

4. The teenager comes in and discloses information that raises safeguarding concerns (always my worst one).

5. BUPA. ( I would die on this hill, BUPA is a parasite).

Mental health awareness week 11-17th May 2026

This is such an important issue as mental health conditions literally kill. And the numbers of people feeling affected are high. In 2024 there were 91 million prescriptions for antidepressants dispensed in England.

Mental health is subject that I feel very strongly about. Living and working near two military bases I have experienced first-hand the effect of severe PTSD upon personnel and the consequences this has upon their families

There has been a 50% rise in mental health conditions in young people since 2021 (NHS data). At Mount Kelly, the wonderful school nurse led the setup of the Health and Well-being Centre where we take mental health very seriously.

In farming poor mental health can be very dangerous. Farmers are often very isolated with access to fi****ms. Su***de rates amongst are high (BMJ data). My mother-in-law is a proud advocate for the farming community network (FCN) where she hosts regular breakfasts to bring people together. I am immensely proud of her.

Don’t forget to be kind, you never know what’s behind the smile.

Love Esther

Over exercising is as bad for you as under exercising.

The 75 day challenge is the antithesis of everything I teach as a clinician. No doubt written by an arrogant man with no understanding of women’s physiology or athletic performance.

Looks like a fast track to an injury

‘Mum, I’m just not sure this is my best angle, I can’t help thinking my nose looks big, your not posting those pics are you?’

What’s the one thing I see that determines whether someone gets better or not?

Their ‘why’ is bigger than any excuses.

This applies to everything in life.

Your reason for doing something (‘your why’) is bigger than every single excuse that your mind throws up.

Everybody’s ‘why’ is different and valid.

It might be that you want to win a race, it might be that you want to avoid surgery.

What’s my ‘why’?

I watched my Dad die of cancer horribly at 70.

It was beyond awful.

I want to be strong and healthy enough to take all the children/grandchildren/next generation of the family on adventures and to provide a home if they all need it (and to earn enough money to do it). And to always have a spaniel! 🐶🐾

That’s why I get up every day and do what I do.

What’s your ‘why’?

This week I made it over to see the gorgeous and amazing at The Cutting Company (Yelverton).

I asked her to make me look like Giselle Bundchen having spent six months on a beach in Costa Rica (rather than six months on rainy Dartmoor! ). 😂

Thank you for your patient and good conversation Charlotte ♥️

What hope is there when literally everything is covered in plastic.

Feeling despondent 😞
