Happy Birthday, Liz! 💞🥳

Last week we celebrated our wonderful Practice Manager, Liz’s birthday!

Liz is such an important part of the Velca team and truly the glue that helps keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Her dedication, leadership, kindness, and positive attitude make her an incredible asset to both our team and our patients.

We’re so grateful to have Liz as part of the Velca family and appreciate everything she does each and every day. Her hard work often goes unnoticed, but the impact she has on our team and clinic is enormous.

We hope you had a fantastic birthday, Liz, and enjoyed celebrating your special day 🎂💙

Please join us in wishing Liz a very happy birthday! 🎉

Radial Shockwave Therapy at Velca 💪

We’re excited to share that all of our Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, and Podiatrists are now trained and available to provide Radial Shockwave Therapy treatment!

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing and help chronic or stubborn injuries recover 🤕

It can be an effective option for conditions that haven’t responded to other treatments and may help reduce pain while improving function and recovery

If you’ve been dealing with a stubborn injury that just won’t settle, contact the Velca team to find out if Shockwave Therapy could be right for you 💙

King’s Birthday Closure Reminder 👑
Velca will be closed on Monday 1st June for King’s Birthday.

While our team is taking a well-deserved break, our AI Receptionist, Chloe, will still be available 24/7 to help with making, changing and cancelling appointments, and any other general enquiries 📞💙

As Chloe is still learning and we’re continuing to fine-tune her responses, we’d love to hear your feedback. If you’ve interacted with Chloe, please feel free to share your thoughts by emailing us at [email protected] — your feedback helps us make the experience even better.

We hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing long weekend, and we look forward to seeing you back in clinic on Tuesday 2nd June 💙

Farewell Jaden 🌟

This past Friday was Jaden’s last day at Velca. We’re incredibly grateful for the time, care, and positivity he has brought to the Velca clinic.

Jaden’s bright personality, supportive nature, and dedication to his patients have made such a lasting impact on both our team and the community. He will truly be missed around the clinic! 💙🙌

We wish him all the very best for this next chapter, safe travels, and all the success on his upcoming adventures ✈️🌍

Thank you for everything, Jaden — once part of the Velca team, always part of the Velca family 💙

May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) & Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) Awareness Month 🩵🤲

EDS and HSD are more than just being flexible. Symptoms can include chronic pain, fatigue, joint instability, and frequent injuries — often impacting daily life and movement.

At Velca, we’re here to help people better understand their bodies and feel supported in their recovery journey. We offer diagnosis and treatment for EDS and HSD 💪👀

If this sounds like you, contact our team at Velca to learn more or book an assessment ✨

A little reminder 👀

Consistency is key when it comes to recovery and long-term results 💙

If you haven’t already, take 20 minutes out of your day to do your exercises — your body will thank you later. Small steps done consistently will make a big difference over time 👌

Keep moving, keep showing up, and trust the process.
