A 70yr old man with leg pain
Leg pain is pretty common, especially as we get older. There are lots of reasons why this can happen. In this video I discuss about one cause of leg pain that commonly happens when we are younger, but can result in us having leg pain later in life. Found out what it is in this […]
Get yourself moving….
We are coming to the end of our third week of being open and seeing our patients again! Lots of our patients have said that working from home on a less-than ideal workstation (ie the kitchen table) has made them stiffen up a bit. If that applies to you, then maybe have ago at some of these […]

His leg felt like it was…… broken!
When we were out cycling as a group a few years ago, near Frilford Health, a couple of the guys bumped handlebars and Kevin came off his bike onto the road (hard). I was called upon to have a look and see what damage he had done. Nothing was displaced, but I knew very quickly […]
How to get fit at home with no equipment…..

Left shoulder problem or heart attack?
Pain in the left shoulder is always a concern because of the possibility that it might be the heart that is the problem. In this short video I discuss the dilemma that we commonly face in practice. Watch out for Laurel and Hardy at the end of the video…..
Why I no longer eat pesto……
Did you know that scurvy still exists? I thought that since the realisation many years ago that citrus fruit prevents it that it would never occur. But it does! There are some particular groups who are more likely to get it than the general population. What are those groups? Why are they vulnerable? Why would […]
