@BritishGas are one of the most frustrating companies/customer services to deal with. 6 days & hours of phone calls & I am still without gas & no closer to a resolution. Completely unacceptable. @BritishGasHelp

Exciting times! Super happy for the clinic to be linking up with the great people down @advancesportUK
Sadly the time has come for us to say goodbye to our current location in Farnham as the building has been sold. So we reached out to our friends at @advancesportUK who were more than happy to help! Read our latest blog to find out more: seventy9sportstherapy.co.uk/…

Was contacted by a local orthopaedic clinic re a CPD event for Physiotherapists. Enquired whether I & others could go as a Sports Therapist. My clinic has ‘Sports Therapy’ in it’s name & I’ve rehabbed around 20-25 patients from their clinic over the years. This was their response

Really disappointing to see given the CPD content was highly relatable to my role as an MSK clinician. Often seems that graduate Sports Therapists are no further forwards than when one of my Physiotherapy colleagues referred to me as “just a sports therapist”.

Almost got ended by a dump truck whilst commuting this morning. TBH I wasn’t really going to mention it since it seems such a normal part of commuting or riding life - it was one of 6 or 7 “incidents” in 30 minutes of riding. 🧵

But on reflection, the only reason I wasn’t a statistic was because of my experience and skill as a rider and my awareness of the situation. I heard the dump truck charging up behind me and saw there was little space for them to overtake me before a head-on…

This is where I grew up & my parents still live. Absolutely furious that this practice is still being allowed by the government.

It dawned on me that I graduated 13 years ago, so I shot a video about what I’ve learnt because I’m an old wise man now...
I've learnt a few things over the past 13 years since graduating as a Sports Therapist. So I shot a video about my journey @TheSSTofficial 1/3 youtube.com/watch?v=mv6xu02P…

“Oh, Ian, why don’t you like riding your bike in London?” Appropriate cycle lanes that separate cyclists from traffic increase safety for cyclists (those fleshy human things that aren’t in metal boxes) & in turn encourage others to ride rather than drive.
If you were the gentleman I followed down Kensington High Street today, apologies. I just wanted to see what the experience was like on two wheels since the cycle lane was ripped out. Here's your answer —

This video is what happens when you remove appropriate safety measures, cyclists are put at risk. It is unreal that there are people in government/councils who CHOOSE to put cyclists at risk with these decisions. @theJeremyVine @nedboulting @Chris_Boardman

Replying to @Tesco
@Tesco Is there any reason why the pharmacy in your Aldershot superstore was closed at 20:30 this evening when your website says it is open to 21:00? Which is incorrect? Highly inconvenient misinformation for those of us shopping late in the day to reduce exposure to crowds.

"Until we educate the entire human race, this thing will not stop." Michael Holding delivers a powerful message, explaining why #BlackLivesMatter.
“Be a Peter Norman” ✊
Today I learned... The white man in this photo was Peter Norman from Australia who finished 2nd the 1968 200m final. Norman stood in solidarity with the American Black athletes. It was Norman who suggested, when discovered they only had 1 pair of gloves, to each wear one. (cont)
I can only assume that @SearchDogOppo was sent off to search for a boot because @AT_Development has a pair of left feet for hands. Also, support @HSARDogs 🙌 #StayHomeSaveLives #ProtectTheNHS
We've risen to the challenge! Here’s our version of #giveCOVIDtheboot Thank you @OchilMRT @OfficialDorSAR. Hampshire Search & Rescue Dogs remains operational & will always be there should you need us. bit.ly/3cdAgtm #StayHomeSaveLives #ProtecttheNHS
