Stress Awareness Month 

April is recognised as Stress Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of managing stress for overall health and wellbeing.Stress affects not only emotional wellbeing but also physical health, contributing to:

Muscle tension

Headaches

Persistent pain

How Stress Affects the Body 

As physiotherapists, we frequently see the physical impact of stress, including:

Tight shoulders and neck

Back pain

Posture related pain

Impacted recovery time from injury

Managing stress is therefore essential for both mental and physical recovery.

We offer practical strategies to help manage the effects of stress by improving movement and mobility, reducing physical tension, and supporting recovery.

Marathon Preperation 

April is also a busy month for marathons across the UK, including the London Marathon, Manchester Marathon, Brighton Marathon, and Newport Marathon. If you are running this spring, the focus now should be load management, and reducing injury risk.

  • Taper with purpose – In the final 2–3 weeks, gradually reduce mileage while maintaining some intensity. Avoid squeezing in extra long runs.
  • Prioritise recovery – Focus on sleep, hydration, and regular mobility work. This is where your body adapts and gets stronger.
  • Address niggles early – Don’t ignore pain. Small issues are much easier to treat before they become bigger problems.
  • Warm up efficiently – Use light jogging and dynamic stretches to prepare your body prior to the event.
  • Hydration – Ensure your well hydrated prior to and throughout the race. Stick to what you’ve practised during training!
  • Stick to what you know – Race day isn’t the time to try new shoes, pacing, or nutrition strategies.

Our online booking system has just gone live, making it easier than ever to schedule appointments at a time that suits you. You can make bookings for Sports Massage pre/post events, or as part of your routine maintenance, as well as booking Sports Therapy or Physiotherapy sessions if you have a pain or injury that you’re worried about.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sam twice. He is polite, knowledgeable in his field and diagnosed my shoulder problem straight away . I left after some treatment with an app to follow exercises and then at my second visit a follow up which showed improvement and more exercises until the next visit. Sam listens carefully to what’s wrong and takes you through his thoughts etc step by step. I wasn’t rushed at all. I was recommended to Harding Physio and wouldn’t hesitate in doing the same .Excellent service all round. Lovely receptionist too 😊
