Following on from Paul at the Muratti in Guernsey, Fiona was incredibly lucky to support the ladies’ football team for the Jersey Football Association first ladies Muratti in 6 years! ⚽🦸♀️
There were excellent results for both the women’s and the men’s teams at the Muratti but particularly for the ladies! Fiona was thrilled to be part of the team for the day!
The race calendar is approaching & we thought we’d share our top tips for preventing running injury as you increase your training…
Paul jetted off with the U21’s football team in April to play in the Muratti on our neighboring island Guernsey. It was an epic day with a great win of 2-1! Well done to the lads at the Jersey Football Association – see them celebrating in this video!
This April, Alex joined Trudi Roscouet and Dr. Rebecca Harling, the awesome and inspiring women behind The Menopause Forum.
The topic of Alex’s discussion was ” I wish I had known about this earlier….!” This is what 99% of women in their 50s and 60s and younger say to Alex when she sees them. Pelvic Health is particularly challenging because it’s so taboo. Did you know that it takes women on average 10 years to visit their GP for any pelvic health problems such as urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse?
Alex gave an insightful talk with her expansive knowledge on such issues along with a pinch of humor that made the evening comfortable talking about these embarrassing and personal topics!

Paul travelled to Germany, Slovenia & France with the U.S Ski & Snowboard team! It had been a long time for Paul to be able to return with the team since the pandemic, so he was super thrilled to be on the road again with them! Here’s what he said about the trip – “It was a fantastic time away with U.S team again. Always great to experience time on the road with elite sport and a group of athletes I’ve known for so long”
Well done to Paul for the recent update on the sports trauma management course through Lubas Medical. Paul said it was a ‘great course’ and good to update previous training.
Fiona at the beginning of 2022, headed to Lillehammer in Norway, to help support the New Zealand Paralympic athletes’ take on the World Para Snow Sports Championships!
She had an amazing time and since returning she’s reflected on how influential the experience was for her main 3 reflections from the trip were…….
💭 Keep challenging yourself to optimise performance, it was motivating to see people with reduced muscle control working so hard to maximise the function of each muscle fibre and neuron
💭 With a bit of creativity and a strong network anyone can partake and even excel in sport. Excited to see this in action when the Healing Waves-Ocean Therapy Jersey adaptive surf center is up and running
💭 If you fall down, dust the snow off and get back on it!! The resilience and robustness of these athletes to keep achieving in the face of challenges are unforgettable!
Heading into the parish of Trinity, we kitted ourselves out, prepared for what we thought was becoming a regular theme for our walks to pick wet and windy days, but to our surprise turned out to be a calm lovely afternoon!
Trinity, was far from full of rubbish in the lanes and initially felt our efforts may be pointless, however closer inspection we soon started filling bags of all sorts including a pair of glasses, golf ball, and a tie!
After a couple of hours of spotting different mushroom varieties,
who knew there are so many on our island!
, we stopped at Bouley Bay, guess which members of the team went for a dip?…..Yes the brave ones, Alex & Fiona! Well done ladies
We were pleased with our efforts and have fun whilst doing it! It just shows you it’s worth a small effort and we feel proud as a team for making Trinity and our island a little more cleaner!
One cold night in November we entered ourselves as the “Rehab Rockstars” into the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust & Jersey Zoo quiz night, organised by the amazing Will Highfield, aka Jersey Gorilla.
This fundraising event, had us testing our team’s brain power and knowledge with some difficult questions!📝⌛ All good fun in aid to support and raise funds for a great charity!
Do you think we picked a winning raffle ticket!?😂

Fiona was a fantastic support to the medical team as the Super League Triathlon headed to Jersey for the fourth time.
Jersey is a firm favourite on the Super League calendar, with many of the athletes describing it as their favourite race location in the world!
