These simple exercises can help maintain and improve strength, balance, mobility and postural control, supporting everyday activities and helping older adults stay active, confident and independent.

National Stroke Week

Stroke can happen suddenly but recovery takes time and support.

This week is a reminder to recognise stroke symptoms early, act quickly and continue supporting recovery beyond hospital.

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in stroke recovery by restoring function and supporting independence.
Physiotherapy is important from the early stages of recovery and may help people regain confidence with movement and maximise participation in daily life.

Every person’s recovery journey is different, but progress can happen at every stage.

On this International Children's Day, 1st June 2026, let's celebrate how playful movement helps children grow!
As a Physiotherapist, I can confirm: crab walking is a legit workout!
In this video, we’ve got partner crab races, ball kicks, feet-to-feet passes, and dynamic plank challenges. These playful exercises boost hand-eye coordination, core stability, dynamic motor control, balance, motor planning, and overall strength. In other words, play builds strong, coordinated, confident little humans—one fun move at a time!

Hey you! 👋 Don’t forget your water bottle today!

​Adequate hydration is essential for your energy, concentration, and digestion. Even mild dehydration can cause headaches, difficulty focusing, and physical fatigue. Next time you get a headache, think about whether you've had enough water before reaching for those painkillers! 💧

​A few quick tips to keep in mind:
☀️ Aim for 2–3 liters of water per day (more if you’re exercising or working a physical job).
☀️ Drink little and often! It’s much more beneficial than drinking a lot of water all at once.
☀️ Check your hydration level by looking out for pale yellow urine.

​Stay hydrated to be at your best! ☀️

Wishing the best of luck to everyone taking part in the London Marathon — an incredible achievement already just to be on that start line 👏
Quick physio reminder: ✔️ Warm up properly before you run
✔️ Don’t skip mobility and stretching
✔️ Recovery matters just as much as training and starts at the moment you cross the finish line.
Run strong and enjoy every mile!

The consequences of limited NHS rehab staff are being nationally recognised. Physiotherapists can guide families and carers to provide daily rehab, patients do not need to see a qualified physiotherapist for 3 hours 5 days a week to improve. Stroke rehabilitation should be more about 24 hour management than just treatment.
Contact us to book an assessment

People receive rehab only three to four days a week in hospital – and one to two days once they are discharged, data suggests

🚶‍♂️ Walk to Work Day 🚶‍♀️
Small changes can make a big difference to your health — and walking to work is one of the simplest ways to start.
As physiotherapists, we often encourage regular walking because it supports both physical and mental wellbeing.
Even if you can’t walk the whole way, try parking further away or getting off the bus one stop earlier — it all adds up.
💚 Your body is designed to move — give it the movement it needs.
