March 2026 Newsletter

Price Increases 

We understand that there is never a good time for price increases, and this decision has been made after serious consideration of all possible options. We have managed to hold our prices since Feb 2024, but due to steadily increasing costs faced by the clinic, particularly over the past 12 months, we have no choice but to restructure pricing across our services, with effect from 1st March 2026. 

We endeavour to continue to offer a variety of pricing options to suit your needs, and new pricing will be as follows.

From 1st March 2026, self-funding appointment fees will be charged as detailed below; 

Physiotherapy Assessment / Treatment (30min) with Physiotherapist £60

Physiotherapy Assessment / Treatment (30min) with Clinic Director (Chelsea) £65

For personal reasons, Chelsea is reducing her clinical hours in 2026, which will impact her availability

Sports Therapy Assessment / Treatment (30min) £55

Sports Massage 30min £40

Sports Massage 45min £50

Sports Massage 60min £65

We continue to provide reports and letters (GP/Consultant) free of charge as part of our service to you, as well as being on hand to answer any questions clients may have via phone or email, and this will remain unchanged – as will our InBody body composition services.

Should you feel you require a Physio or Sports Therapy appointment that is longer than our standard 30minutes, please discuss this with us at the time of booking

International day of happiness 

International Week of Happiness, centred around 20th March, is a global awareness campaign that recognises happiness and wellbeing as essential components of overall health. It highlights that health is not just the absence of illness, but a state of physical, mental and social wellbeing. The week encourages individuals, workplaces and communities to prioritise habits that support long-term health and quality of life. 

What does it promote? 

Positive mental health and emotional resilience

Strong social connections

Healthy lifestyle habits

Balance between activity, rest and recovery

Gratitude and mindful living

How does physiotherapy support this? 

Movement boosts mood – Physical activity improves mental health through endorphin release. 

Reducing pain – Less pain means more freedom to enjoy activities of daily living. 

Strength and mobility build confidence – Physical progress enhances self-belief and confidence. 

Person centered care – We treat patient based on their individual limitations – not just the injury! 

Support mental and physical well-being – Physiotherapy reduces pain, improves strength and mobility, boosting confidence, lowering stress, and helping individuals return to a healthier, more active lifestyle.

National sleep awareness month 

National Sleep Awareness Month recognised by the National Sleep Foundation, is a reminder that quality sleep is not a luxury. It’s a cornerstone of health, healing, and physical performance. In physiotherapy, we often focus on movement, strength, and mobility, but recovery truly begins with efficient sleep.

🦴 Tissue Repair and Physical Recovery

During deep sleep, the body increases blood flow to muscles and releases growth hormone, which supports tissue repair and muscle recovery. Whether you’re rehabilitating from surgery, recovering from injury, or managing a chronic condition, optimal sleep enhances the body’s natural healing processes and helps maximize the benefits of your physiotherapy sessions.

🧠 Pain Modulation

Sleep plays a key role in how the nervous system processes pain. Inadequate sleep can heighten pain sensitivity, increase inflammation, and reduce your tolerance for discomfort, making rehabilitation feel more challenging. Prioritising consistent, quality sleep can improve pain control and support better outcomes in treatment.

💪 Strength and Injury Prevention

When practicing exercises in physiotherapy, your brain consolidates skills overnight. Poor sleep can impair balance, coordination, reaction time, and strength, increasing the risk of re-injury and slower rehabilitation.

❤️ Whole-Body Health & Well-Being

Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, mood changes, and impairment in immune function. Consistent sleep and wake times, limiting screen exposure before bed, and creating a calm sleep environment can enhance both your rehabilitation outcomes and your overall mental and physical well-being.

The National Sleep Foundation recommends: 

-For most healthy adults aged 18–64, aiming for 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night helps support physical recovery, cognitive performance, immune function, mood regulation, and overall well-being.

-Older adults (65+) are generally advised to get 7–8 hours, while children and teens need progressively more sleep depending on age.

These ranges are based on scientific evidence and are meant to serve as a guide to individual needs, but consistently meeting these recommended sleep durations is linked to better health outcomes and improved daytime functioning.

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 😊
