Following, the announcement tonight of a further lockdown, we wanted to reassure people that healthcare appointments currently remain open, so we can continue to see you face to face, were deemed necessary.
We do offer virtual rehabilitation and this should be considered as an option for many cases, assessing and progressing activities and exercises, through video or distanced appointments, to help regain movement and control.
Get in touch if you wish to discuss an appointment further or to find out what we could offer you virtually or face to face.

Just to let everyone know, following the government's and our professional bodies guidelines, I am open for appointments. I can offer virtual appointments or home visits, where appropriate. I am a chartered physiotherapist specialising in neurological rehabilitation, helping to regain mobility, return limb function, or helping to improve or maintain abilities. Please get in touch to see how we can help you.

Thurs 29th Oct is , raising awareness that adults will have a stroke, but being active can help decrease your risk. We are trying to encourage people to move and join the MoveMent by creating a video of their moves. Our MoveMent Train video will be posted later this week, but who will help keep our train moving?!
Also as part of the campaign to get everyone moving, I will be offering free 20mins 1:1 virtual exercise sessions on Thurs 29th Oct, for suitable candidates. Get in touch to discuss further and book one of the limited slots.

– Give
One of the reasons I chose my career was because I love helping people, giving people back their movement, their mobility, their independence. Giving doesn’t always have to be the big things though – a smile, a thank you, doing something nice for a friend or a stranger. When you spend a lot of time giving to others it is important that you make sure to give to yourself as well.

– Focus on learning
Personal development and growth has always been one of my leading principles and having aims and goals has always helped guide my path. At times these aims and goals can seem unsurmountable and finding smaller steps to complete them can be challenging. Small steps such as completing crosswords/sudoku, starting a new book, or even finding out something about friend, family, or colleagues, can start on the steps towards learning and keep us challenged.

– Take notice and be present
If there is one thing 2020 has taught us, it is to slow down and be in the now. Normally I enjoy the changing of the seasons, especially the autumn colours, but am finding less enjoyment in the passing seasons this year. Acknowledging the regret of the elapsed time is an important step on the path to being aware and present. Recognising your enjoyment of a moment, despite all the other feelings / thoughts, can be hard, but there are always small joys to find. Try and find ways to take pleasure in your environment, appreciate your surroundings, get a plant, clear an area of clutter, make small changes to the décor, be present with your thoughts and feelings.

– Activity
The positive benefit of activity and exercise on our mental health has been well established but until I felt the benefit myself, I didn’t appreciate it. It was once I started swimming that I appreciated the mental stillness I got through physical activity and would sometimes crave my time in the pool to allow me to have a break from all the challenging thoughts. I didn’t realise at the time how the lack of activity over lock down had contributed to the extra stresses I feel now, but have been very grateful for the recommencement of the Masters sessions Louth Swimming Club. Due to the months of decreased activity and awareness of the lockdown situation it has prompted me to try another form of exercise that I never thought I would…… running, with the couch 2 5K app. I am appreciating the similar mental stillness during and post exercise, and am enjoying the flexibility and lack of facilities needed, as well as surprising myself by running for longer!
Often the difficult bit with exercise and activity is being openminded and brave enough to get started and then building things up so they are manageable. Small changes like taking the stairs not the lift, going for a lunchtime walk, taking a ball to the park, dancing at home, can help build the path to bigger challenges like getting involved in sporting activities.
One of the things I am passionate about as a physiotherapist is helping people to find ways they are able to exercise and maintain their activities, be this, looking at community groups, helping people access gyms, reviewing activities and exercises in your home, or currently via online exercise classes. If you would like any more information please feel free to get in touch, and please add your own comments, ideas and suggestions regarding activity.

– Make a connection
It is our connections and relationships with others that help to keep us grounded and where we can gather strength and support to carry on, I tend to find when I am struggling with anxiety and confidence I tend to withdraw from my contacts and tend to text rather than talk to them. When I know I am getting low I try and think about who I feel comfortable getting in touch with. This is not always those I am closest to, as those relationships may have a lot of guilt attached to them of all the things I should have done. But by reaching out and connecting with someone, it gives me the strength to reach out to others and tend the connections for my other relationships.
If you can relate try changing one thing – talk instead of texting; try speaking to someone new; spend 5 mins finding out how someone is, arrange to meet someone for tea or at least for a video catch up.
Please feel free to connect with me and post your own ideas and suggestions.

Today is World Mental Health Day .
As someone who has experienced mental health issues myself (Anxiety and Depression) and who regularly sees the struggles within my client base. I am aware how difficult it has already been this year, and the likely struggles over the coming months. I decided to use this opportunity to raise awareness and do a series of posts over the week to highlight the 'one thing' I am doing on a daily basis to try to look after my mental health and hopefully give ideas that may inspire you to
