July Race Round-Up 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

July was a big month for the SW Sports Performance athletes, with plenty of hard work, commitment and some brilliant race-day performances.

Every result represents the training, consistency and determination that goes on behind the scenes — and it’s been so good to watch these athletes put their coaching into practice when it matters.

A huge well done to everyone who raced in July. You should all be incredibly proud.

Thinking about your next race? Whether you’re chasing a PB, taking on a new distance or simply want to feel stronger and more confident on race day, coaching can make a huge difference.

Great day at the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance, attending a CPD course on shockwave therapy. Physiquipe put on a great course.

It was a fantastic opportunity to update my current skills and learn some new techniques that I'll be bringing into the clinic.

Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for more information on radial shockwave therapy and how it could help you recover from injury and get back to doing what you love.

🏊‍♀️ New Front Crawl Swim Block – Spaces Now Open 🏊‍♀️

We have a few rare spaces available on our next swim block, starting the first week of June and running for 7 weeks.

With triathlon and open water season beginning for summer, we’ll still be heavily focusing on technique, while also starting to introduce skills that can help when swimming outdoors.

We have two session options available:

📍 Tuesdays: 8:00–9:00pm - 4 spaces remaining
📍 Sundays: 8:00–9:00am - 1 space remaining

These sessions are fully dedicated to Front Crawl and are designed to help you develop a more efficient stroke — improving both your speed and overall technique.

Led by two experienced coaches, the sessions cater for all abilities, with individual feedback and support throughout the block to help you make real progress.

If you’re interested in booking a spot or would like more details, please drop me a message 😁

So the radial shockwave machine has settled in well at the clinic 🙌

Over the last few months, I’ve seen some amazing results in treating all sorts of chronic injuries and stubborn ongoing pain.

No need to keep putting up with those niggling problems.

If you’ve been dealing with a muscular, tendon, or joint issue for longer than a few weeks, shockwave therapy could be for you.

Common problems it can help with include:

✔️ Plantar fasciitis
✔️ Achilles tendinopathy
✔️ Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
✔️ Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow
✔️ Shoulder tendinopathy
✔️ Rotator cuff pain
✔️ Hamstring tendinopathy
✔️ Glute tendinopathy
✔️ IT band-related pain
✔️ Shin splints
✔️ Chronic muscle tightness and trigger points

Shockwave therapy helps stimulate healing, improve blood flow, and reduce pain—especially in those injuries that just don’t seem to shift.

If you’re unsure whether it could help you, just drop me a message 📩

✔️ Rebuild strength after injury
✔️ Prevent future problems before they start
✔️ Assess and help diagnose musculoskeletal injuries (muscle, ligament & tendon issues)

Whether you’re:
🏃‍♂️ Training for an event
🏋️‍♀️ Back in the gym
🚶‍♀️ Dealing with everyday aches and pains

…or just want your body to move and feel better

We use a mix of:
• Hands-on treatment
• Radial Shockwave Therapy
• Rehabilation exercises
• Back to sport functional rehabilation plan
• Sports massage
• Cupping therapy

🎯 The goal?
To get you out of pain, moving well, and back doing what you love — stronger than before.

You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit… just someone with a body!

Drop me a message if you’re unsure whether I can help — happy to help where I can!
