Men’s Health Week (15th – 21st June)

You might not know this, but the NHS offers a free screening to all men in the UK during the year they turn 65. This screening is an ultrasound which looks for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), which is where the walls of the aorta get weak and swell up. 1 in 92 men will have an AAA.

If an AAA gets too big it can burst, and chances of surviving this are less than 20%. They have no symptoms so screening is the only way to catch it – you can then be monitored and treated before it causes any problems.

Keep an eye out for your invitation in the post – screening could save your life!
If you are over 65 and have never been screened, contact Lancashire and South Cumbria AAA screening team on 0191 445 8747 to book an appointment at an NHS site near you.

✨Need extra support with your rehabilitation?✨

We all know that exercise is important, but staying motivated and consistent can be challenging; especially when you're recovering from injury, illness, surgery, or a fall.

If you're struggling to keep up with your strengthening programme, lacking confidence with balance exercises, or simply feel you would benefit from more regular support, additional rehabilitation sessions could be the answer.

At Fylde Community Physio, I can provide extra rehabilitation support in your own home to help you stay on track and achieve your goals.

✅ Regular encouragement and accountability
✅ Safe progression of your exercise programme
✅ Support to improve balance and confidence
✅ Increased motivation and consistency
✅ Personalised rehabilitation tailored to your needs

Rehabilitation support packages now available:

💷 £70 per week – 2 × 30-minute rehabilitation sessions

💷 £100 per week – 3 × 30-minute rehabilitation sessions

These sessions are ideal for anyone who:

1. Struggles to stay motivated with their exercises
2. Would benefit from regular encouragement and guidance.
3. Needs additional support with balance training
4. Wants to maximise their recovery and progress

Sometimes the difference between thinking about exercise and actually doing it is having someone there to support you.

These are brilliant for people with dementia during a heatwave....

People living with Alzheimer’s and dementia can find it difficult to stay optimally hydrated 💧

This can be due to several reasons, including difficulty holding cups, not recognising feelings of thirst, or not connecting thirst with drinking.

Jelly Drops are easy to use and support hydration in the form of a tasty treat 🍬

A dementia diagnosis doesn't have to mean that you stop doing the things you enjoy.

We know that it can be difficult to think about the future, but getting organised now can give you peace of mind that the care and support you receive in the future will be right for you.

Our information and advice can help you or your loved one stay independent and live well for as long as possible: https://bit.ly/3Psok06

One of the best parts of community physio is helping people stay independent in their own homes.

Sometimes it’s the little wins that matter most:
✔️ Walking to the garden again
✔️ Getting upstairs more confidently
✔️ Feeling steadier on your feet
✔️ Being able to enjoy day-to-day life more comfortably

Rehab doesn’t always have to be dramatic to be meaningful 💙

I'm on an exciting course today learning all about 'The Internet of Things'.

The Internet of Things is changing the way healthcare is delivered — especially in community and home-based care.
From wearable devices that track heart rate and mobility, to smart blood pressure monitors and fall detectors, connected technology can help clinicians monitor patients remotely, spot problems earlier, and support people to stay independent at home for longer.

For physiotherapy, this could mean:
✨Tracking activity levels during rehabilitation
✨Monitoring exercise adherence remotely
✨Detecting changes in mobility or balance sooner.
✨Improving communication between patients and healthcare teams
✨But while the benefits are exciting, there are also important pitfalls to consider.

Technology should support patient care — not replace human connection. Concerns around data privacy, device reliability, digital exclusion, and over-reliance on technology must be carefully managed to ensure care remains safe, personal, and accessible for everyone.

♥️ The future of healthcare is likely to become increasingly connected — but compassion, trust, and clinical judgement will always matter most.

😂 It's always a good idea to ensure things are accessible too in case the primary method fails!
