Today is World Mental Health Day.

Your mental health matters to you and to us!

Mental health is just as important to look after as your physical health.

We have some great counsellors at the Maidstone clinic 'Southcote' with Garry, Kiran and Patricia being available for your needs.

If you find that you need some help talking and working through some life struggles then they are here for you.

Ask a friend or family member how they are and ask again if you are sensing there is something that they would like to tell you - it may just help.

*Top tip - We can all do one little thing each day. Take 5minutes everyday for some meditation. See our blog by Jasmin about meditation https://www.southcote.com/post/meditation-for-relaxation

Here is an example of a rehab plan for a shoulder impingement case we recently had.

Rehabilitation exercises combined with treatment is fundamental to recovery. We use physitrack which is a great App where we send you the plan, you log in, watch the videos, track your compliance and even message your practitioner with any questions you may have.

We start off with easy exercises then move on to phase 2 and 3, depending on their progression.

Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body.

These nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy.

Government advice is that everyone should consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement during the autumn and winter.

- oily fish – such as salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel
- red meat
- liver
- egg yolks

vitamin K2 a major player in bone health, but its importance does not stop there. Vitamin K2 also keeps calcium from accumulating in the walls of blood vessels.

These three exercises were researched and presented by Professor Stuart McGill. An expert in spine biomechanics, Professor McGill provides us with an evidence based approach to preventing and rehabilitating back pain. We regularly use these exercises when sending patients there rehab plans. We use a fantastic App called Physitrack which helps patients watch the exercises and track their adherence.

CPR!

Some of you may have noticed the defibrillator at the CrossFit gym. Chase and Nikki have provided a great piece of kit which could save yours or someone else's life. Defibrilators are a great piece of kit and they tell you exactly what to do if someone is in need of help. However, I think it's important that we all know how to use it before we are in a situation that needs you to be calm and collected! The British Heart Foundation (BHF) have provided some great videos on CPR and defibrillators. https://www.bhf.org.uk/how-you-can-help/how-to-save-a-life/defibrillators

Learn more about public access defibrillators (PADs), how defibrillators work and debunk some of the misunderstandings about when to use a defibrillator.

Testimonial Thursday


Working from home is now a very common setting and looks like it will continue.
It is therefore fundamental that your desk is set up properly. Neck pain and mid back pain are a common complaint of sitting stationary for long period of time. A fantastic review from Jack
