Swimming, Cycling and running for Freddie’s Future

After having a professional Bike fitting session here at Banbury Private Physiotherapy Practice with Dan Boyd, Emma Hawkins a local GP and ex-professional Lacrosse player is competing in a Triathlon to raise money this weekend for Freddie Future. This follows on from Jurgita running in the London marathon for Freddie’s Future and Bone Cancer Research.

We would like to wish Emma and the team the best of luck with the race! With Emma’s adjusted bike it will allow for better power output without the pain she was experiencing prior to her Bike Fit. Please feel free to donate by copying the link below or type in ‘Freddie’s Future’ on the web.

Bone Cancer Trust

Rarely do I feel swayed by the term cancer having been a sufferer myself , but recently i have been touched by the plight of a local chap in the community. Here is a picture of Freddie who was diagnosed with a Ewings Sarcoma aged 6 years old. He is now 9 years old thanks to the Medical fraternity, his family and friends.
Whilst Freddie lives he now has other issues due to the treatment to preserve his life and now struggles with pain when he tries to join in sporting activities or daily routines with his friends.
Education is challenged as the  schools feel the consequences of treatment may cause on site injury and this is a risk.
 For those of us who have had a Cancer diagnosis the bare truth is that the diagnosis impacts the person, their families , their social enjoyment and interaction. For an adult its tough but for a child , It robs them of just having ‘fun’ and lingers in the minds of the parents.

For my client who is running the London marathon tomorrow i wish you every success, we are behind you all of the way.For Freddie we will keep supporting.
For any one reading this news item- please look at Freddie Page and support the Bone Cancer Charity

Athlete Recognition

Martin is a Canopy Piloting athlete (Skydiving and flying specialised parachutes) that competes in various events that tests his speed, accuracy, distance and freestyle canopy flying abilities.

Martin came to us at Banbury Private Physiotherapy after a skiing injury on Christmas eve 2022 that left him with a dislocated hip, fractured acetabulum (hip socket) and significant soft tissue damage. Rehabilitation started in France where the injury occurred but quickly got in contact with Sarah Baimbridge our specialist lead MSK Physiotherapist where initially advice was given and a combination of video calls and access to an online tailored physiotherapy plan. Once repatriated to the UK a combination of home visits and videos calls allowed Martin to go back to the sport he loves.
