🎬 PART 2: THE WORST PATIENT GEORGE HAS EVER TREATED 😂

She’s back. And somehow, George hasn’t handed in his resignation. 🙃

After surviving what Siân described as an absolutely horrific treatment experience (George maintains she was being ridiculously dramatic), it was time to see whether the treatment had actually worked.

First up, re-testing the exercises that originally caused pain:

✅ Bulgarian split squats — PAIN FREE
✅ Leg press — PAIN FREE

Next, we brought out the VALD Dynamo to re-test her force production.

And here’s where things get interesting… 👀

📊 HIP FLEXION
Left: ⬆️ 4.2%
Right: ⬆️ 16%

📊 HIP EXTENSION
Left: ⬆️ 4.7%
Right: ⬆️ 59%!! 🤯

The best part? George hadn’t done a single strength exercise with her.

The treatment focused on reducing pain and addressing the restriction that was affecting her movement.

Pain can inhibit our ability to recruit muscles effectively and produce force. By reducing pain and potentially some of that inhibition, Siân was able to demonstrate significantly improved force output — without actually increasing her underlying muscle strength.

A perfect example of why identifying what’s limiting someone’s performance is just as important as strengthening the muscles themselves! 🧠💪🏼

As for the rest of the appointment?

George tried to explain the results.

Siân argued.

George demonstrated the improvements.

Siân argued some more.

George pointed out that his treatment had clearly made a difference.

Siân reluctantly accepted that he might actually know what he’s doing.

The hip is functioning better. The relationship is still a work in progress. 😂

After years of working with professional athletes, George has officially discovered that his most challenging patient has been living under his roof all along.

The results speak for themselves. It’s just a shame Siân never stops talking long enough to hear them. 🙃

PART 1: The worst patient George has ever treated 😂

And unfortunately for George… he has to live with her too.

Siân’s been struggling with restriction through her hip, making Bulgarian split squats almost impossible and starting to affect exercises like leg press.

So it was finally time to work out what was going on.

Part 1 includes:

🔎 A full assessment
📊 Strength testing using the VALD Dynamo
🧠 George working out exactly where the problem is coming from
✋🏼Some hands-on treatment
😭 Siân behaving as though said treatment is a near-death experience
🙄 George questioning why he ever agreed to treat his own Mrs

In Siân’s defence, the treatment was apparently ‘excruciating’.

In George’s defence… she is an enormous drama queen.

Years of treating professional footballers, athletes and countless injured patients and somehow his most challenging patient has been sitting at home this entire time. 😂

And the worst part for Siân?

This is only Part 1… 👀

📣 **NEED FURTHER IMAGING FOR AN INJURY?**

We’re proud to announce that George Gore Sports Therapy is now an official clinical partner of — meaning we can refer our patients directly for further diagnostic imaging when clinically needed. 🙌

Vista Health is one of the UK’s leading independent diagnostic providers, offering MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray and more across its network of locations. Our nearest MRI centre is conveniently located at Frimley Park Hospital

They work with all major UK health insurers, so if diagnostic imaging is covered by your policy, you may be able to claim the cost through your insurance. Alternatively, scans can be self-funded privately.

But importantly — **our clinical practice isn’t changing.**

Not every injury needs a scan. In fact, most conditions can be diagnosed through a thorough clinical assessment alone.

We will only refer for further imaging when there is a genuine clinical need — for example, to determine the severity or location of an injury, where surgery or specialist input may be required, or when an injury isn’t responding to rehabilitation as expected.

The difference now? **If you do need imaging, we can take care of the process.**

➡️ We refer directly from clinic
➡️ You attend your scan
➡️ The report is returned to us, usually within 3 working days
➡️ We use the findings alongside your assessment to plan your next steps

No unnecessary scans. No trying to remember what you were told at another appointment. **Just a smoother pathway from assessment → imaging → rehab.** 🧡🖤

⚽️ FEMALE FOOTBALLERS — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. 👇🏼

Over the past few weeks, we’ve noticed something that we think needs talking about.

We’ve had a number of female footballers come through the clinic for performance testing, classes, recovery sessions and injury appointments — and we’ve picked up some pretty significant red flags along the way.

The worrying part?

When we’ve recommended getting those issues properly assessed and rehabbed, we’ve often been met with reluctance.

So we asked why.

💬 “I don’t want to seem like I’m making a fuss.”
💬 “I can’t afford to miss games.”
💬 “I don’t want someone else taking my place.”
💬 “We don’t have a physio at the club.”
💬 “Private treatment is expensive.”
💬 “I’ve got work/kids/family to organise around appointments.”
💬 “I’ll just play through it.”

And THAT is a problem.

Women in football already face particular injury considerations — including a significantly increased risk of certain injuries such as ACL injuries — yet access to regular assessment, rehabilitation and female-specific injury prevention isn’t always there, particularly outside the professional game.

So throughout October, we want to remove at least one of those barriers. ❤️⚽️

🚨 25% OFF FOR ALL FEMALE FOOTBALLERS — ALL OCTOBER 🚨

Whether you have an injury or niggle you’ve been ignoring, something just doesn’t feel quite right, or you simply want a maintenance/recovery session to keep your body moving well throughout the season — come and see us.

You do NOT need to wait until an injury becomes bad enough to stop you playing.

And getting an injury assessed doesn’t make you weak.
Rehabbing properly doesn’t mean you’re not committed.
Looking after your body is part of being an athlete.

⚽️ Your body is what allows you to play the game. Look after it.

👋 MEET OUR PHYSIO — ALEC

If you’ve been around the clinic (or down at Fleet Town FC) recently, you’ve probably already met this face… but it’s about time we gave Alec a proper introduction.

Alec is our Chartered Physiotherapist, bringing another level of clinical expertise to the GGST team — both inside the clinic and out on the pitch. ⚽️

Alongside treating patients at GGST, Alec is the Lead Physiotherapist for Fleet Town FC for the 2026/27 season, working directly with the players on injury assessment, rehabilitation and return to play.

And as you’ll probably gather from this reel… he fits into the team pretty well. 😂

Whether you’re dealing with a new injury, something that’s been hanging around for months, recovering from surgery or trying to get back to sport properly, Alec can assess what’s going on and build a rehab plan around you and what you actually need to get back to doing.

Being HCPC registered and a member of the CSP, appointments with Alec may also be eligible to claim through private medical insurance, depending on your provider and policy.

Basically…

Very good physio.
Very questionable decision agreeing to work with us. 🤝😂

Turns out partnering with a football club comes with responsibilities we hadn’t quite prepared for…

Namely, Sian appointing herself Head of Matchday Media despite demonstrating questionable videography skills and punditry that can only really be described as… mid-table.

Camera work: 4/10
Match analysis: 6/10
Enthusiasm: 11/10
Ability to remain impartial when Fleet score: absolutely none.

Sky Sports aren’t exactly knocking on the door just yet… but there’s a long season ahead.

In all seriousness… 💙

We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome from everyone at Fleet Town FC. From the directors and coaching staff, to the players, volunteers and everyone working behind the scenes — you’ve made us feel part of the club from day one.

There’s a huge amount of work that goes into a football club that people don’t always see, and it’s been brilliant getting to know the people who make it all happen.

We absolutely LOVE matchdays down at Fleet, and it’s a real privilege for GGST to be working alongside the club this season.

Here’s to plenty more matchdays, plenty more goals… and hopefully some improvement in Sian’s camera work before the end of the season.

BLUE ARMY 💙⚽️
