💚 DID YOU KNOW?
Self-care isn't selfish — it's part of looking after your health.
The World Health Organization defines self-care as the things we can do to promote and maintain our health, prevent illness and cope with health problems, with or without support from a healthcare professional.
It includes everyday things such as being physically active, eating well, getting enough sleep and staying connected with others.
And here's the bit we love at SMART: looking after yourself doesn't have to mean waiting until something hurts. Regular movement, mobility work, relaxation and appropriate hands-on therapy can all be part of a bigger approach to taking care of your body.
Your body works hard for you every day — give it a little care in return. 💚
Move better • Feel better • Look after you

🌿 PILATES FOR PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS/CAREERS— WITH THE KIDS WELCOME! 🌿
Finding time to exercise after having children can be hard — especially when childcare is another thing to organise.
That’s why Parent Fit Pilates is designed to give you some time for you, while your little ones are close by. ❤️
Pilates is a brilliant way to gently rebuild strength and confidence, particularly after pregnancy and childbirth. It can help you:
✨ Strengthen your deep core muscles
✨ Improve posture and body awareness
✨ Support your pelvic floor
✨ Improve mobility and flexibility
✨ Build strength without high-impact exercise
✨ Reduce everyday aches and stiffness
✨ Reconnect with your body after pregnancy
✨ Feel stronger and more comfortable in everyday movement
And the best bit? There’s no pressure to be perfect.
Work as hard as you want, take things at your own pace, or simply come along, move your body and chill for a while. 😌
👶 And yes — the kids are welcome!
There will be staff on hand to help with the children when required, so you can actually get some time to focus on yourself.
For a little extra peace of mind, there is also a camera in the playroom with a TV in the Pilates room, so you can keep an eye on what’s happening while you exercise.
🏡 Accessible entrance
🚗 Parking directly outside
👶 Child-friendly playroom
❤️ Relaxed, welcoming atmosphere
💪 Suitable for different fitness levels
You don't need to be super-fit, flexible or a Pilates expert. Just come as you are.
YOU deserve some time for you too. ❤️

Why stretching & mobility matter 💚
Stretching and mobility work are valuable parts of looking after your body, whether you’re a regular runner, cyclist, gym-goer, athlete or simply someone who wants to move comfortably day to day.
Regular mobility exercises can help you maintain or improve your range of movement, while stretching can help maintain the flexibility of muscles and other soft tissues. Moving through a comfortable range regularly also helps you become more aware of how your body moves and where you may feel restricted or stiff.
This is where stretching, mobility work and sports massage/remedial therapy can complement each other. Massage therapy can be used to work with areas of muscular tension and soft-tissue restriction, while mobility and stretching exercises give you an active way to keep moving and working through your available range between treatments.
They aren't a replacement for each other — hands-on treatment and active movement work together. Your therapist can help identify areas that feel tight or restricted and, where appropriate, suggest simple movements or stretches that you can incorporate into your routine.
For active bodies, it’s not just about training harder — it’s about keeping your body moving well, recovering well and giving it the attention it needs. 💚
Stretch. Move. Recover. Repeat.
🔊 WHAT IS THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND?
You may have seen us using our ultrasound machine at SMART — but what does it actually do?
Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to deliver energy into the tissues beneath the skin.
Think of it as a tiny, gentle internal massage that you can't see or hear. Depending on the settings, it can create subtle mechanical effects within the tissue and/or gently warm deeper tissues.
💚 What can it be used for?
It can be used as an adjunct to treatment for certain musculoskeletal problems, including:
-Some chronic tendon problems
-Plantar fasciitis
-Knee osteoarthritis
-Some chronic neck pain
-Muscle tightness and restricted soft tissue
-Tennis/golfers elbow
It can help with pain and tissue preparation, making it a useful addition to hands-on treatment and rehabilitation.
⚠️ It's not a magic healing machine!
Ultrasound is generally used alongside the things that really help recovery — such as appropriate exercise, strengthening, mobility work and hands-on treatment.
At SMART, we choose the settings according to the tissue being treated, how deep it is and whether the problem is acute or chronic.
If you're wondering whether therapeutic ultrasound could be appropriate for your problem, speak to one of our therapists.
At the moment, only Kay, Jo and Laura are trained in using the US.

✨ NEW at SMART – Therapeutic Ultrasound ✨
From TODAY we're introducing therapeutic ultrasound as the latest addition to our treatment options.
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to target deeper soft tissues and, when clinically appropriate, may help to: ✔️ Reduce pain ✔️ Improve tissue flexibility ✔️ Increase local blood flow ✔️ Support the rehabilitation of muscles, tendons and ligaments
At SMART, ultrasound isn't a "magic fix"—it's another clinical tool we can use alongside our hands-on remedial therapy and rehabilitation to help optimise your recovery.
🎉 FREE Introductory Offer – 14th July to 27th July
For two weeks only, we'll include therapeutic ultrasound FREE with your treatment where your therapist feels it's clinically appropriate.
No need to request it—if we believe it could benefit your recovery, we'll discuss it with you during your appointment.
Therapeutic ultrasound is currently available with Jo, Kay and Laura only. As more of our therapists complete their training, we'll be rolling it out across the team.
If you've been struggling with a persistent injury or ongoing pain, this is the perfect opportunity to experience one of our newest treatment options at no extra cost.
📅 Offer valid 14th–27th July. 📩 Book your appointment online or send us a message—we'd love to help you get back to doing what you love.

✈️ Day 1 complete... and what a day it's been!
Today we've been getting hands-on with:
⚡ TENS
⚡ NMES
⚡ IFT
Lots of learning, lots of practical work, and plenty of ideas that we'll be bringing back to the clinic.
WHAT WE HAVE REALLY LEARNED TODAY.....
💧 Kay can drink approximately 4 litres of water when it's 35°C.
😴 Jo can happily squeeze in a 10-minute power nap while attached to a TENS machine.
🥵 A classroom, 35°C heat and a couple of room fans is... character building.
🍹 And cocktails after a full day of learning taste infinitely better than they do at home.
One more day of electrical therapies....
We'll keep you posted! 💚✈️

✈️ Jo & Kay are off on their travels!
We are in Swindon for four days of hands-on training to expand our skills and bring even more treatment options to SMART.
We'll be learning:
✔️ TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
✔️ NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation)
✔️ IFT (Interferential Therapy)
✔️ Therapeutic Ultrasound
At SMART, we believe learning never stops. Continuing our professional development means we can keep offering the highest standard of care and provide our clients with even more ways to reduce pain, support rehabilitation and aid recovery.
We're excited to bring these new skills back to the clinic and can't wait to start incorporating them into our treatments.
Now... please spare a thought for us as we bravely endure 35*C and trying to stop our eyebrows becoming moustaches 🌞😂
We'll do our best to survive the heat... somehow! 😎✈️💚
