@theLDphysio Please tell me this article is 394 years old… 😓😓

Amazing the effect of one week off of work / the gym on the brain 🧠 - just said to my coach that I’d choose burpees over this, and THAT is saying something 😂 I do monthly training roundups on my Insta so made this month’s early 🏋🏼‍♀️ (no sound I’m afraid cause copyright n that 🤟🏼)

@Manning2Paula Thanks so much Paula! 🥰 Fab that you’re managing to do something consistently too! ☺️

Firstly, I’ve been lucky enough to receive funding through a local grant to do my award in Mental Health and Exercise Coaching - something I’ve been keen to do for a few years now but been unable to independently fund. A month or so in and already so inspired 🧠💪🏼 @mentalhealthpt

[#hellomynameis Shona @shonathephysio]

Not sure exactly what that looks like yet, but we’ll see… in a time where work-wise it’s hard to see the positives, it’s nice to feel excited about something for a change 🥰

[#hellomynameis Shona @shonathephysio]

So largely inspired by both of the above, I’m now also in the middle of completing my Level 3 Personal Trainer certificate! 🫣🤭 I’m feeling really passionate about making health improvement accessible for all, and not necessarily sticking to the current fitness industry ‘norm’.

Been a bit rubbish posting on here lately, though I’m always creeping in the background! Actually a lot of exciting things coming up, feeling like I’m finding my spark a bit again when it comes to my career 🥰

Working in mental health (and with a fabulous team lead) means capacity and enthusiasm for little things like this that make a day/week just that bit brighter 🥰 @KatieM_aphmh

Today’s team meeting was improved approximately 175% by the addition of my best pal as a VIP honorary colleague 🫶🏼

[#hellomynameis Shona @shonathephysio]

Followed by a ‘good for the soul’ stretch of the legs on the lunchbreak before dropping her home… and even a hint of blue skies?!

@AberbainLynne LTC/community in Duns! Still ideally wishing for full time in MH but it’s a step in the right direction 😅

[#hellomynameis Shona @shonathephysio]

Long time no chat Twitter. I got a new fringe… and a new job! Going to still be split between two roles, but back to being full time NHS! ☺️

@OVOEnergy Have sent a DM. Thanks!

[#hellomynameis Shona @shonathephysio]

@OVOEnergy I’ve been trying for months to create an online account to give up to date meter readings but when it asks for my details it says the details are incorrect. Struggling to get through on the phone.

@LouiseM17513002 So true! ❤️💔

[#hellomynameis Shona @shonathephysio]

Said goodbye to my favourite polar bear last week and my heart still hurts 🤍

Scottish physio friends - particularly Glasgow area. Have a chum applying for physio who is having a nightmare getting any form of shadowing experience at all - been knocked down by everywhere he’s enquired to so far. Anyone have any suggestions? Even just for a couple of hours!
