Where Does Laser Therapy Fit Into Sports Injury Rehabilitation?

14th August 2026
When you’re active, the goal following an injury isn’t necessarily to stop everything until the pain disappears. Whether you train pole or aerial, run, cycle, swim, lift weights or compete in sport, rehabilitation is usually about finding the balance between allowing irritated or injured tissues to recover and gradually rebuilding their ability to tolerate load. There are lots of tools we can use to help with that process. One that we have recently introduced is MLS® Laser Therapy.

Why stretching isn’t getting you your splits…

4th July 2026
If you've been stretching consistently but your splits still feel no closer, you're not alone. It's one of the most common frustrations I hear from pole dancers and aerialists: "I stretch every day, but I just can't seem to get any lower." The truth is, flexibility isn't simply about stretching. While stretching has its place, it isn't the only ingredient needed to achieve a full split, and in many cases, it isn't the limiting factor at all.

Why movement screening changes everything in Physiotherapy.

10th April 2026
Have you ever tried to explain your injury and thought, “I don’t even know how it happened”?

Training for the GEAR 10K?

11th March 2026
With the Grand East Anglia Run (GEAR) 10K coming up in May, many local runners are increasing their mileage and pushing their training a little harder. At this stage in the training cycle, it’s very common for small aches and pains to start appearing. The mistake many runners make is assuming the pain will simply disappear on its own. Unfortunately, that’s rarely how it works. More often, those small niggles gradually build over the following weeks until they start affecting your training — or worse, your ability to take part on race day.

What actually happens to your body during a pole or aerial training session…

11th November 2025
From the outside, pole and aerial arts (like hoop or silks) look like pure artistry, beautiful lines, effortless transitions, and shapes that seem to defy gravity. But behind the beauty is a huge amount of science. Your body is working incredibly hard, using strength, balance, flexibility, coordination and pain tolerance all at the same time.

Movement is Universal

28th April 2025
People often ask me… if my special interest lies in circus and pole physiotherapy, how can I possibly understand or treat injuries to the general population or athletes from other sports, such as running? The answer is simple: the human body doesn't change based on the sport; the principles of injury, healing, and performance are universal.
