A diagnosis, an old injury or ongoing knee pain doesn’t mean you have to avoid loading your legs forever.

Sometimes you just need to build things back up gradually.

With personalised rehab, we can work out where you’re starting from, find the right exercises for you and progressively increase the load as your strength and confidence improve.

You might not be ready for a barbell lunge straight away and that’s okay.

Rehab isn’t about rushing to the end goal. It’s about giving your body the time and the right stimulus to adapt, so that eventually you can get back to the things you want to do.

Start where you are. Build from there.

“They never put their hands on me.”

Not every physio assessment or treatment requires a hands-on approach, but here at Lucy McGhee Physiotherapy, tactile feedback is a huge part of how we assess and treat.

We want to feel how you’re moving, identify tender areas, assess muscle and joint mobility, and pick up on restrictions that may not be obvious from movement alone.

All of this information helps us build a clearer picture of what’s going on and, importantly, guides your treatment plan so we can provide the best care for you.

If hands-on assessment and treatment is something you’ve felt has been missing from your previous physio experience, you’ve found the right place. 💙

🏋️ Are they too young for strength training?

A common concern we hear from parents of young athletes, particularly around the myth that lifting weights will stunt growth or damage developing bodies.

But the evidence doesn’t support this.

UK guidance recommends that children and young people develop their muscle and bone strength as part of their physical activity, and the UK Strength and Conditioning Association supports appropriately designed resistance training for young people when it is properly supervised and progressed.

For a young athlete, strength training isn’t about lifting the heaviest weight possible.

It’s about developing:
🔹 Strength and control
🔹 Coordination and movement quality
🔹 Mobility
🔹 Balance and stability
🔹 The physical capacity to meet the demands of their sport

Done well, it can be a fantastic complement to their sport and help build strong foundations as they develop.

At our clinic, Karly Bland has extensive experience working with high-level young athletes from around the age of 10 onwards. Her experience allows her to assess the individual athlete, understand the demands of their sport and create an age appropriate programme focusing on strength, mobility and movement.

So if you have a young budding athlete, a physiotherapy assessment isn’t just about treating an injury.

It can be about helping them understand their body, develop their physical qualities and support their sporting performance as they grow.

✨ MEET LUCY — CLINIC OWNER ✨

If you’ve visited the clinic, there’s a good chance you’ve already met Lucy!

As our clinic owner and physiotherapist, Lucy treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and offers MSK physiotherapy, sports massage and acupuncture.

She has a real passion for helping runners and triathletes, combining her clinical experience with her own love of sport. After playing football for many years, Lucy now focuses her sporting efforts on running and strength training. 🏃‍♀️💪🏻

Away from work, Lucy is kept busy being mum to 2 year old George, wife to Jonny and dog mum to Jasper, her black Labrador. 🐶🖤

So, between running a clinic, treating patients, training, family life and Jasper keeping her on her toes… let’s say Lucy has her hands full 😂

👋🏻 MEET THE TEAM — KARLY BLAND

Introducing Karly…

Karly has a degree in Sports Therapy as well as a Master’s in Football Science, Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy, giving her a fantastic combination of knowledge and experience across sport, rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

At the clinic, Karly provides physiotherapy assessment and treatment, massage, as well as offering paediatric sports injury appointments. She has a particular interest in team sport injuries and helping people recover confidently and get back to the sports they love. ⚽️🏃‍♀️

Away from the clinic, Karly loves nothing more than getting stuck into a good thriller novel 📚, although we’re sure her biggest distraction is her beloved pug, Cooper! 🐶

And there’s another very exciting chapter coming up for Karly… 💍✨

She’s engaged and getting married next year! 👰🏼 💒

We’re so lucky to have Karly as part of our team, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for her! 💪🏻

Why not all exercise has to be structured…

A weekend camping in the Lakes reminded me that movement doesn’t always need to be structured, planned or done in a gym.

It can be a walk with the dog (with or without carrying your toddler 😂), a leisurely bike ride, or just getting outside exploring somewhere new.

Not every bit of movement needs to be tracked, timed or optimised. Sometimes it’s just about moving your body and enjoying what you’re doing.

Structured and progressive rehab is 100% important when recovering from injury, but if you’re not managing your usual workouts at the moment, don’t think it has to be all or nothing.

Movement still counts. 👣

The biggest challenge in keeping triathletes injury-free?

Getting the balance right between training load, strength and recovery.

Most of the triathlon injuries I see are overload injuries.

Not necessarily because of one bad session, but because the body isn't prepared for the amount of load being placed on it, or it isn't getting enough time to recover and adapt.

And when you're swimming, cycling and running multiple times a week, adding strength training on top can be a real balancing act.

That's why strength work shouldn't just be added to your programme.

It needs to be planned around your training.

Sleep matters too. If you're consistently under-recovered, your body won't adapt to training as effectively.

So work with your coach and physio. Look at the whole week, not just individual sessions.

The goal isn't to train as much as possible.

It's to train enough to perform, and recover enough to adapt.
