Well done Dan Thompson!!!!!

Keep it up Dan Thompson if you want to track him this is his number !

As you know, Dan Thompson is running the London Marathon tomorrow - which song will he need to keep him going after 20 miles? This is mine and I do admit it’s a slow burner but keeps me going! Come on you runners - what’s your song that picks you up?

Good luck to our very own Dan Thompson who is running the London marathon on Sunday. He qualified to compete after running the Stirling marathon in 2hours 55 minutes, which is really unbelievable. If you want to follow him through the marathon his number is 30688 and all you have to do is download the free app. I asked him for a tip on how to complete the marathon and he said “The key is to stay mentally strong after 20miles”. All the best Dan, we are sure you will smash it!

Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints. The rotator cuff tendons are commonly involved, and you may find taking your arm out to the side painful. These simple exercises can help relieve pain in the first instance. Tendons then need a loading program to help restore normal function. Contact us if you’d like help to manage your shoulder pain.

I thought I would share this condition as I’ve only came across it this week after my son struggled to weight bear on his left leg. He had little pain but couldn’t walk and hadn’t injured himself and like any other parent I was concerned there was something serious underlying.
Therefore we took him to the children’s emergency department at the Queen Elizabeth University hospital where he was assessed by a lovely doctor who deemed him to have irritable hip also known as trans...ient synovitis of the hip. The symptoms include pain around the hip and difficulty walking. The advice was rest and brufen and he was back walking after a few days with no problems. We were advised that they see one case of irritable hip in children per day. If your child develops similar symptoms I would certainly advise urgent medical attention but hopefully it won’t be as serious as I thought and get better quick.

As it’s children in need I thought I would share this information on Sever’s disease. Sever’s disease is inflammation of the growth plate in the heel of growing children. It’s normally present in active children and presents with pain at the insertion of the Achilles and pain after activity. The best way to treat Sever’s to is reduce activity with appropriate analgesia. It’s ok to keep active if there’s little pain, but if activity aggravates the pain then it needs reduced.
