We had one of the lads from Walking Away in clinic today!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1LVpPnvsra/

With the fixture release getting closer, the reality of what's ahead is starting to sink in. We spent some time helping him understand just how important strength, mobility and recovery will be as they prepare for this incredible challenge.

To put it into perspective...

🚶 Walk non-stop for 12 hours.

🚶 Get up the next morning and do it again.

🚶 Then do it again.

🚶 And again.

AND YOU STILL WON'T HAVE WALKED AS FAR AS THEY WILL!

This isn't just a long walk. It's a huge physical and mental challenge that will push the body to its limits.

That's why preparation matters. Building strength, improving mobility and managing recovery could make all the difference when you're covering hundreds of miles on foot.

🎗️ Walking Away is raising awareness of mental health and su***de prevention, while raising funds to support mental health services right here in Oldham through Oldham Athletic and Oldham Athletic Community Trust.

The dedication, commitment and determination these lads are showing is genuinely inspiring.

👏 Massive respect from all of us at Sports Physio Uk. We'll be right behind them every step of the way.

Walking Away is a powerful fundraising challenge that will see a team walk from Oldham Athletic Boundary Park to the club’s furthest away fixture of the season, covering hundreds of miles in just seven days.

The walk is about far more than football. It is about tackling the growing crisis in men’s mental health and raising vital funds to create lasting support for those who are struggling. Every step represents a conversation that needs to be had, a stigma that needs to be broken, and a reminder that nobody should have to face their battles alone.

Working alongside Oldham Athletic Community Trust and Mentell, our aim is to raise over £250,000 to support life-changing mental health initiatives across our communities. With the backing of supporters, businesses, sponsors and the wider football family, Walking Away will turn one extraordinary journey into a lasting legacy of hope, support and change.

Because sometimes the most important step a person can take is the first one.

🚑👨‍⚕️ Out of the clinic and into the classroom today!

Our Director, Scott Woodhead, is spending the day at Crompton House School as part of their Futures Day, talking to students about careers in Physiotherapy and the Ambulance Service.

At Sports Physio UK, we're passionate about helping people recover from injury, improve performance and get back to doing what they love. But today is about something even bigger, inspiring young people to consider careers where they can make a real difference to others.

The students listening today could become the physiotherapists, paramedics, nurses and doctors of the future.

The healthcare professionals who help someone walk again after an injury. The clinicians who support families through difficult times. The people who may one day save a life.

If even one student leaves today's sessions feeling inspired to pursue a career in healthcare, then it's been time very well spent.

Good luck to all the students exploring their future career options today. The healthcare profession needs passionate, caring and dedicated people, and some of them may well be sitting in those classrooms right now.

💥 YOUR PAIN ISN'T ALWAYS THE PROBLEM! 💥

"My knee hurts."

OK, but why?

One of the most common things we see in clinic is people focusing on where the pain is, when the real problem is somewhere completely different.

🔹 Knee pain can be caused by weak hips
🔹 Shoulder pain can be linked to a stiff upper back
🔹 Neck pain can be affected by posture and upper back mobility
🔹 Foot pain can be driven by ankle, knee or hip mechanics
🔹 Lower back pain can often be related to poor movement patterns elsewhere

Pain is often the body's warning signal, not the root cause.

That's why our assessments don't just look at the painful area. We look at how your whole body moves to find out what's really going on.

Treating symptoms is one thing.

Finding the cause is where the real progress happens.

Have you ever had pain in one area that turned out to be coming from somewhere else? Let us know below 👇

⭐️ A Little Feedback That Means a Lot ⭐️

As a small business, reviews and feedback genuinely make a difference. Not just because they help others find us, but because they let our team know their hard work is making a real impact.

We recently received this email from one of our patients:

💬 "Please could you pass on my thanks to Kamal for the help, he's been very good." 💬

Simple words, but they mean a huge amount.

Kamal has become a valued member of the Sports Physio UK team, helping patients recover from injury, reduce pain and get back to doing the things they enjoy. Seeing feedback like this is a reminder of why we do what we do.

👏 Well done Kamal, and thank you for the dedication, professionalism and care you show our patients every day.

❤️ And to everyone who takes the time to send an email, leave a review, recommend us to a friend, or share their experience, thank you. Your support helps local independent businesses like ours continue to grow and support the community.

If Kamal, or any member of our team, has helped you recently, we'd love to hear about your experience.

Clicking, crunching, popping or grinding when you move?

It might be harmless, but if it comes with pain, stiffness, weakness or reduced movement, it’s worth getting checked.

At Sports Physio Shaw, we assess what is actually causing the issue, not just the noisy joint.
