We advise that even though we are all back in national lockdown, we are pleased to confirm that the medical aspect of our practice is allowed to remain open.

Date: 3rd December 2020 We are pleased to welcome back our Sports Masseurs, Skin Therapists and Complementary Therapists now the 2nd lockdown is over. Date: 5th November 2020 This is to advise that during this 2nd lockdown, we are pleased to confirm that the medical aspect of our practice will be allowed to remain open. This will include Physiotherapy, Podiatry, and Osteopathy. The personal care side will have to temporarily close. This will include Sports Massage, the Skin & Beauty Clinic and Complementary Therapies. Masks Please note that masks and gloves are still to be worn on our premises, except we now ask patients if you would mind bringing your own masks please, and we will still supply the gloves at the door at our cost. Date: March 2020 COVID-19 As of March 26, the Government Guidelines for business closures lists Physiotherapy Clinics as the exception for being allowed to remain open. We are pleased to say therefore that we will be able at the present time to continue to meet the treatment needs of our patients. The following criteria and policy & procedures applies: 1. As all the other services at our clinic have been temporarily suspended, person to person contact within our establishment will only be 1 patient and 1 physiotherapist. 2. No accompanying person will be allowed inside the premises to wait. So there will only ever be one person in the waiting area, that being the next patient. Any accompanying persons are respectfully asked to wait in their car. 3. Viruses are thought to survive outside the body for no more than 6 to 12 hours, so there will be absolutely no activity in our clinic at all for 13-24 hours after the physiotherapist's session ends. 4. Each person entering the clinic will be required to put on protective gloves and a mask (provided) at the door before entry. They will then keep these on throughout the duration of their treatment and dispose of in the bin (provided), once they leave and have closed the door. At this point hand sanitiser is also provided. This is to ensure no outside bare hands enter the building at any time. Furthermore with both therapist and patient wearing a mask, this forms a double barrier of airborne transmission. 5. The door handles are disinfected after each patient. 6. Hand washing & use of sanitiser and the cleaning of all clinical equipment along with card machines, telephone and mobile devices, takes place between every patient. 7. No one must enter the building if they or any member of their household have any signs and symptoms of Corona Virus, and in particular a persistent cough, temperature, fever, sore throat, breathing difficulties, tight chest, loss of smell or any other symptoms which has been found to be associated with Covid-19. 8 Your Physiotherapist will wear protective disposable gloves and mask at all times and replenish between each patient. Please rest assured we are taking all the precautions we can to be able to continue to serve the treatment needs of our community. From Keith Palmer (Chartered Physiotherapist and Owner)

Good news for Mindfulness Meditation - BBC Report Many of our emotions and reactions arise automatically, often in response to things that happen in our lives. Pain, illness and injury tend to create negative emotions, which we then try to avoid. When the problem is simple (for instance if we touch a hot pan) this is effective in avoiding serious injury. However, if we have to deal with things which do not go away easily, our reactions can create ongoing suffering. Examples are working in a stressful place or having a long-term illness. We don't just experience the problem itself, but also the frustration, tension and suffering that result from our attempts to minimise the experience. What makes things even worse, is that we may start to avoid the things we enjoy in order to cope. Mindfulness is a method of allowing ourselves to relax and develop increased awareness. Once we become more aware of our body, our emotions and our reactions, the suffering created by attempts to minimise pain and stress can begin to reduce. You may know someone who bears their difficulties with optimism, while other people seem to be crushed by them. Mindfulness can give you a method that allows you to choose between the two. Pain may be inevitable, but suffering can be optional. Mindfulness was originally developed as part of Buddhist meditation, but it is an independent technique that can be taught to anyone. It is becoming increasingly accepted by medical professionals and psychologists as an effective way of managing stress, pain and illness. Overviews of the research demonstrating the effectiveness of mindfulness can be found on the website of the University of Bangor (http://www.bangor.ac.uk/mindfulness/research.php.en) and Your Doc Medical (http://www.yourdocmedical.co.uk/wellbeing/160). Last week the BBC reported on the effect of mindfulness on the brain scans of pain sufferers, please click here for more details: Hubert van Griensven is an experienced acupuncturist and physiotherapist, with expertise in the management of chronic pain. He trained in mindfulness meditation with the Breathworks Foundation in Manchester and has several years of experience of teaching this technique to his patients. His own regular practice of mindfulness has enhanced his awareness of its application and benefits. Forthcoming course/sessions: A 3 hour introductory course on Mindfulness Meditation, with basic exercises, providing an insight into how mindfulness can be used to manage pain, stress and long-term health conditions. The cost will be £40.00; which will include a CD with guided exercises to practice at home. A 6 week course, of a one hour session per week, to gain a deeper understanding of mindfulness and how to apply in your own lives. £8.00 per session. Individual sessions will also be available for people who wish to focus on their own condition and situation. These sessions will be tailored to your Individual needs. Once you are on track it would then be possible to join the group if you wished to. Initial Consultation and Session = £53.00 and follow-up sessions = £37.00 (Approximately 1 hour). The courses will be organised at times flexible to suit demand. Either a Saturday, early morning midweek or early evening. Please register your interest with us for the above as soon as possible, as demand is expected to be high.
_______________________________________________________________ Date: December 2011 Introducing an Expansion to Our Service We are pleased to announce an expansion to our service and welcome the return to this practice of Hubert van Griensven. Hubert was a long term associate at Eagle House in the 1990's. He has since worked as a clinical specialist in pain at Guy's & St Thomas' Hospital Trust, gained a Masters degree in Pain and published textbooks on pain physiology. He is currently undertaking a PhD, lectures on acupuncture and pain and works as Consultant Physiotherapist at Southend University Hospital Trust. During this time, Hubert has continued to develop a special interest in Chinese medicine, as well as recently adding Mindfulness Meditation to his skills. He is able to offer help in areas such as: Migraines Menstrual & menopausal problems Bowel, bladder or stomach dysfunction Sinus problems Dry eyes and mouth Sleeping problems, stress and tension Fertility problems Cosmetic acupuncture (facial lines & wrinkles) Many patients already experience great relief from our treatments for musculoskeletal problems, so hopefully you will find this expansion to our service beneficial in these other areas.

____________________________________________________________________ Date: April 2011 Additional Pilates Class: By popular demand we are excited to announce that we will be offering an extra session of Pilates.
