⁣🙌 A lovely message to start the day with🙌⠀
⠀
My client had been suffering over the last 2 months with medial epicondylitis (golfers elbow) which was irritable when water skiing. 🌊 ⛷ ⠀
⠀
We modified her activities, encouraged regular icing to promote a decrease in the inflammatory response. Once the painful symptoms had decreased we then started isometric exercises in conjunction with with gentle stretches to establish pain free full wrist and elbow range of motion, all before progressing to concentric and eccentric strengthening. ⠀
⠀
I then spent the time with my client understanding the demands of water skiing so we could then align the latter part of the rehab to be activity specific. ⠀
⠀
Outcome 🟰 One happy client 😆⠀

⁣A huge well done to my lovely client Monica who after all of her hard work is finally back in her own home. 👏 ⠀
⠀
When I met Monica she was staying at for restpite following a fall where she fractured her pelvis🦴 .She needed assistance for all aspects of daily living, getting in and out of bed and even to stand up out of a chair. She could only walk a few steps with constant supervision due to severe weakness and pain. This change was particularly difficult for a lady who had been so independent and a big character in her community! ⠀
⠀
After extensive physiotherapy, over several weeks, including strengthening then higher level balance work, Monica was walking over 50m independently and even negotiating stairs. Monica felt confident enough to return home with her beloved walker “Penelope” to help to keep her safe 🙌. ⠀
⠀
Monica will be seen on an ongoing basis for continued mobility, strength and balance work for falls prevention. ✅ ⠀
⠀
☎ If you or your family member requires physiotherapy in their own home then please get in contact.⠀

⁣A little late from me but well worthy of a post …⠀
⠀
A massive shout out to my amazing client Julie and her Husband Trevor who ran the London marathon 2 weeks ago. 🏆⠀
⠀
⠀
I met Julie a couple of months ago when her training plan was limited by a running injury which prevented her from getting her long runs in. Julie worked really hard on her rehab combining conditioning work with her progressive running plan and completed the marathon showing grit and determination throughout. ⠀
⠀
As a complete surprise to say thank you, Julie bought me the most gorgeous 💐 and blister socks for netball as she probably was tired of me saying that my feet were in pieces after every match! So thoughtful and really touched me! 🥰😢.⠀
⠀
⠀
It has been such a pleasure to be a part of so many of my clients' marathon journies, hearing all of your successes. So much so i put name in the ballot for next year 🙊

⁣Another great review 🎉⠀
This video in addition to the review shows how far she has come since her discharge from hospital in December. Mary is now back living in her own home completely independently which is so great to see.
⠀
⠀
"Ellie has been marvellous for me. She has that unique quality of being completely professional in her work and also friendly, caring and approachable. She has worked me hard, and l have gone from clutching the frame for dear life, to walking confidently with one stick and she thinks l will be able to walk without any sticks fairly soon. I cannot thank her enough and l would recommend her to anyone needing a physiotherapist. Thank you Ellie . Mary “

🦠 Latest Covid- 19 guidance 🦠

Following the latest announcement made by the Prime Minister on the 4th January 2021 and after reviewing guidelines from the professional bodies for Physiotherapy and Sports Therapy in the UK, I can announce that I will remain open for mobile appointments.

❇️ High Standards: I will continue to follow a screening process prior to each appointment to ensure that you are not symptomatic – this is an assurance measure to all of my clients and will be carried out within 24 hours leading up to your appointment. The screening process will also determine whether the assessment and treatment can take place virtually or whether hands on treatment modalities are required.

❇️PPE: As usual, I will continue to wear PPE for the sessions and ensure that all equipment is sterilised between patients. I am fortunate to receive weekly testing but in order for me to maintain a safe practice, I rely on the transparency of my clients letting me know if they fall ill after an appointment, so that I can contact individuals that may be affected by this.

Regrettably, I have made the decision that face-to-face maintenance sessions (sports massage and geriatric strength and balance sessions) with people who are categorised as moderate and high risk by the NHS will not take place (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/people-at-higher-risk/whos-at-higher-risk-from-coronavirus/ ). In this scenario, if the individual’s need increases to the point where the individual will alternatively need to seek NHS support, then a face-to-face appointment will be considered. I will still be providing post-hospital rehab to increase independence and readmission.

🙏 Thanks again for your ongoing support and custom through these challenging times. As it stands, all appointments will be going ahead unless I have contacted you. If you wish to cancel due to the new guidance in place, then please contact me and remain mindful of the 24hour policy where possible.

Check if you're at higher risk of getting seriously ill from coronavirus (COVID-19).

❇️First day back at work of 2021... ❇️

I would like to say a huge thank you to all of my clients for sticking with me throughout the last year. It has been amazing to see your progress from completing marathons, squatting personal bests, learning how to walk again without any aids and simply learning to climb the stairs again!

🙏 It has been a pleasure to be part of so many of your rehab journeys and watch you achieve your 2020 goals.

As for me there has been a lot of change this year. After the world-wind affair of working in ICU throughout the first wave of the pandemic to then leaving the NHS in November and starting a dream job at The Children’s Trust. The move has allowed me to dedicate more time to my private clients and grow my business meeting more of you through client recommendations 🥰.

Here is to 2021 and smashing more goals. For me I would like to get back out competing on my horse in addition to enjoying running (maybe even complete a half if they are on 🏃‍♀️ )

So lovely to receive messages like this from new clients. 🥰🥰

Education is a big part of my role as a health care professional to allow you to set achievable goals for your rehab. 👩‍⚕️

Understanding your diagnosis/injury is so important and unfortunately there can be a lot of medical jargon thrown in the mix which can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed. Don’t be afraid to ask again and again for an explanation of what is going on in YOUR body 🙂

⁣Lockdown 2.0 🔐 ⠀
⠀
✅Online Assessments available⠀
✅Tailored exercise programmes to meet your individual rehabilitation needs which can be completed in your own home. ⠀
✅ Regular check ins. ⠀
⠀
Although I am still able to treat face to face I have been working remotely too 👩‍💻. ⠀
⠀
This lovely client has suffered from chronic back pain intermittently over the years which has limited his activity levels considerably. With the exciting news that he is expecting his first child he wanted to see if he could resolve this issue long term 🥳. ⠀
⠀
Through an online assessment we noticed areas of weakness in which had been contributing to his pain. I then created an individualised rehab plan for him start which will then be followed up with a face to face appointment for hands on treatment. ⠀
⠀
December appointments available so please get in touch ☺

Good news for Physiotherapists! 😅

I will still be taking bookings for the next few weeks!

During this time I will continue to follow a strict screening process before appointments, whilst attending all appointments in PPE and following infection control protocols for Covid-19.

The government has published details of the types of business it intends to allow to remain open during the forthcoming lockdown in England, and the CSP can confirm that physiotherapy is included.
