Sheffield Physiotherapist and Sports Masseur Treating Running Injuries at Weston Park 10k Race.

A fantastic sunny day July 2011, and a great turn out for the Weston Park 10k race at Graves Park in Sheffield.  There was a fantastic atmosphere from all involved right from the fun runners in the 3k race, up to the serious (and not so serious) racers in the 10k event.  The race was started by former olympic athlete Joslyn Hoyte-Smith and was won by Kevin Lilley (men) and Rebecca Howarth (women). Further details and pictures can be found by clicking here.  Here James and Mark show off the race day treatment gazebo where they looked after all the tired legs!  Many thanks to Anne Kirtley from Sweatshop for help pointing the athletes in our direction.

 

Hallam FM v Hollyoaks Football Match Physiotherapists don Valley Stadium

June 2011 saw us invited back to work on the return match for the Hallam FM Cash for Kids appeal between Hollyoaks pretty boys and Hallam FM.  A great day all round, and it was nice to see some of our pals in the Hallam FM team who played last year, and also our friends in the Hollyoaks team who also play for the M1 Charity side. Mark, Mike and Paul provided the physiotherapy to both teams.  Many thanks to Katy at Hallam FM for the hospitality and invite and to the players who gave a good account of themselves.  Hollyoaks ran out 6-2 winners.  Always next year for the Hallam team!  Many thanks to people who donated to such a worthy charity.

 

Scottish Boxer Travels 850 Miles for Physiotherapy in Sheffield

This story made the Sheffield Star newspaper in May 2011 as Peter Williams travelled all the way from Inverness having found us through an internet search for physiotherapists who have worked with pro boxers.  Click here for the Sheffield Star article. He booked with us for 5 hours for a review with our physio's, chiropractor and sports masseur to help diagnose, treat, and set up rehab programmes to help him recover from several long standing injury problems.  Peter was a promising boxer as an amateur and we wish him all the best to get his career back on track.

 

Ice Skating Physiotherapy - Working With Dancing on Ice - Sheffield Arena

Pre-match interview / photo's - Mark Roe & Sgt Chris Nicholson - Help for Heroes

 

The big day is looming where the army young guns take on the "experienced" ex-Donny Rovers youth team.  Will it be like riding a bike for the ex-pro's or will the stamina from our brave soldiers prevail?  The kit arrived from Toga Sports  - and the buzz in clinic has been electric since.  Massive thank you again to Dennis Hobson Promotions for kit sponsorship meaning every penny raised can be donated to charity.

Thanks to Chris for happily posing for photo's and taking part in a pre-match interview which we'll be posting once edited.  Both predicting a tight game but with charity being the winner.  The odds are stacked in favour of the Army lads, not least because their average age AND weight is preferable!!  Some good questions from Sarah which will make the cut, and some downright silly ones which won't - or for legal reasons, can't!   Made her laugh anyway! 

 

Happy Christmas!  Our Christmas Message to you from the Mark Roe Sports Physio Academy in Sheffield - Rudolph AKA Lucas Roe!

 

Help for Heroes football match - Army vs Doncaster Rovers - Gosforth Fields, Dronfield - 27/02/11 - Kick off time 2pm

Mark recently had a night out with his ex-Doncaster Rovers team mates.  He had a great night reminiscing and it seems that the boys still have the passion for the game in their blood.  Mark had a great idea that they should all get together for a game of football and whilst at it, try and raise funds for the Help for Heroes charity.  They will be taking on the Fourth regiment royal artillery LAD team - mechanics and technicians that repair the equipment.  If you know anyone that would like to help in any way, even by just raising awareness of this please get in touch info@markroesportsphysio.co.uk or 0114 2390022.  Thanks to Dronfield Rugby Club at Gosforth Fields for donating a pitch free of charge http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dronfield/

If you have a few spare pennies and can not attend, please donate whatever you can at:

Sheffield Football Club - Sports Physio Mark Roe attends Annual Gala Dinner - 21/10/10

 

There was a great turnout at Baldwin's Omega for Sheffield FC's 153rd anniversary gala dinner.  The auction raised thousands of pounds for the club's Boots for Africa charity where prizes such as Howard Webb refereeing a junior game, Howard Webb taking 2 guests to a premiership match for the VIP experience and signed merchandise from Michael Vaughn etc were up for grabs.  Mark even won a raffle prize - some champagne glasses!  Time to buy the champagne......and yes, for the eagle-eyed - Sarah & Mark have the same outfit on as below!!  It is criminal!

 

Boxing Event - Tim Witherspoon Jnr Dislocated Shoulder - Sports Physio attends event Jersey - 09/10/10

Mark attended the boxing event promoted by Dennis Hobson at the luxurious Hotel de France in Jersey.  The event had several special guests, not least our city's own boxing legend Clinton Wood's and Roy Jones.  Well done to all of Sheffield's fighters who won comfortably, in particular Liam Cameron who Mark sponsors - he put on an impressive display.  The night was not without its shock factor as during Tim Witherspoon Jnr's fight his shoulder dislocated!!!  Sarah's jaw quite literally hit the floor but Mark was ready to spring into sports physio mode!  The referee made him redundant though and popped it back into place much to everyone's relief.  Tim went on to win the fight, well done to him.  The following morning guess who was in the breakfast room of Sarah & Mark's hotel (the gorgeouse La Haule Manor)?  It was only Tim Witherspoon Senior and Junior!  That is one breakfast chat they won't forget in a while!

 

5/9/10 - Great Yorkshire Run Sheffield - Children's Hospital

Invited to physio for ASD Appio from Rome.  My Itallian is pretty poor but I managed to chat about Lazio, Gazza and DiCanio (I think!).  The result wasn't great for the visitors, but a great night for all.  Good Luck to ASD Appio and hopefully see you all in Rome next year.

10/03/10 - Mark Roe - Golf lesson - Rother Valley

Mark had his first golf lesson with Jason Ripley at Rother Valley today.  What a top bloke!  Great experience.  As a golf novice, he gave simple advice, didn't over complicate things and gave excellent tips for me to work on between now and next session.  I've got a lot of catching up to do to get to Tom Doran's level, but I'm sure Jason will help me along the way.  If your golf needs help - go and see him!
