Our Yorkshire Three Peaks charity challenge

1 August 2025

This year marks a very special milestone for our clinic – 15 years of helping our community move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain. And we’re celebrating in a way that reflects exactly where we came from… and where we’re going.


On Friday 8 August 2025, our team will take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge – a 24-mile hike over Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough – all to raise funds for a cause that’s close to our hearts: Pocklington Rugby in the Community.

Why this challenge?

Fifteen years ago, we opened our doors at Pocklington Rugby Club. It was more than just a venue – it was the beginning of our journey and our deep-rooted connection to the local community. Over the years, we've grown, evolved, and moved location, but that connection to the club – and what it represents – has never left us.


Pocklington Rugby in the Community is a charitable initiative that supports physical activity, inclusion, and wellbeing for people of all ages and abilities in our area. They host regular events throughout the year such as monthly 'pie and pud' evenings, social activities and inclusive activities to help tackle social isolation that can deeply impact mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, often leading to increased loneliness, depression, and anxiety.


Taking on this iconic challenge allows us to give back to the local community by supporting the future health and wellbeing of the wonderful people in it.

Are you struggling with that nagging ache in your back that just won't budge? You're not alone. Back pain is a common visitor amongst adults, often becoming an unwanted companion disrupting daily activities and peace of mind. Whether it's after a long day at work or following a vigorous workout session, the discomfort can range from mild stiffness to debilitating agony. Interestingly, most back issues share causes rooted in our modern lifestyle – prolonged sitting, inadequate exercise, and poor posture are usual suspects. This article shines a light on five prevalent back problems tapping at the doorsteps of many: herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease , osteophytes (bone spurs), and spondylosis (a type of arthritis). It doesn't just stop there; we'll guide you through practical treatment options that help soothe these spine troubles without immediately jumping under the surgeon's knife – from physical therapy magic to acupuncture delights. Discover remedies that could spell relief for your weary back. Ready for some comfort? Keep reading! Key Takeaways Herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, osteophytes and spondylosis are key causes of back pain that can often be treated without surgery. Physiotherapy is a vital part of treating back problems as it helps to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility around the spine which may alleviate pain symptoms. Pain management for these conditions may include medication or injections but exploring exercises with a physiotherapist forms a core approach. Surgical options like discectomy and spinal fusion are available for severe cases when non - surgical treatments do not provide adequate relief.  Alternative therapies such as acupuncture, massage therapy and biofeedback offer additional ways to manage back pain alongside conventional medical treatments.The body content of your post goes here.
