6 weeks ago I picked up the keys to my dream. Everyone said it was a bold move, one that would probably test us. My goodness has it tested us.

There are no words that could fully describe the past few weeks.

I wanted to film this experience for us to look back on when times got tough and for future me to be proud of.

I hope it captures that. Long days, late nights and many a weekend.

To every single patient who has been to visit, thank you for your kindness and understanding. You’ll have seen the space change overtime so I hope this reel shows you just how much I want my not-so-little business to do well.

I want to give a special shoutout to my incredible partner. Lewis, thank you for everything you’ve done to support me. Shield wouldn’t be where it is without you.

Enjoy.

Each year we get the privilege of seeing a bunch of long distance runners, with some committing to an end goal.

At Shield, we want to show you off. We want our community to catch a glimpse of what’s possible when you set yourself a goal, big or small. 🚀

Here are three of our most recent patients (all consented to being mentioned & photos shared). They each have their own story.

@amy_toogood_x @crossfitmendip 🏋🏻‍♀️- Amy ran the London Marathon, smashing her time goal and pain free by the end. Thanks our physio Vickie!

@pburtonmorgan ⚡️- Poppy also ran the London Marathon with an incredible time of 3:22:50 having never run a marathon before.

@jamieacull 🏃- Jamie ran the Bath Half Marathon back in March, again pain free!!

What do all of these patients have in common? They prioritised their strength training, fuelling & recovery.

We’re so proud of them 🔥🏅
