You might consider injuries to be sudden events, like a fall, a sports accident, or a heavy lift that goes wrong. But many of the everyday aches and pains we see at Sarum Physio don't happen overnight. They build from the everyday things you do. Like sitting for long periods, repeating the same movements, rushing [...]
There's something about summer that makes us want to get moving. Perhaps it's the longer days, the warmer weather or the inspiration that comes from watching world-class sporting events. Recent weeks have seen Wimbledon capture our attention once again. The World Cup has reminded us not only of the excitement of sport but also of [...]
Staying active as we age has never been more talked about — and walking seems to be at its heart. It's in the news, in conversations, and in the way people talk about health and well-being. And it's easy to see why. It's simple, accessible, and often the first step — no pun intended — [...]
Pain is a signal, but we've all done it, ignored the ache in our heel after a long day. Rolled our shoulders and carried on through the stiffness. Told ourselves that the twinge in our knee would sort itself out, and sometimes it does (clever body). But sometimes it's your body trying to get your [...]

So, it is not just the last year that brings patterns, insights, and a deeper understanding of how bodies really work. A Year of Body Care Insights After seeing so many patients with aches, niggles, [...]
Well, here we are on the other side of New Year's Eve, after the dust has settled and the glasses have been washed. And today, I'm here to encourage you to reflect on what health goals really mean to you. And no, this isn't about trendy resolutions or the pressure to reinvent yourself overnight. Instead, [...]
I absolutely love this time of year. The lights, the cosy moments, the gatherings, the food, and the chance to slow down — even if the “slowing down” part doesn’t always happen. I also know this season can be bittersweet for many. It can feel joyful, emotional, overwhelming, nostalgic, or heavy, sometimes all within the [...]
As November rolls in, the days get shorter, the evenings darker, and suddenly we’re thinking about the end of the year.
