I just want to reassure everyone that City Physiotherapy and all private health care providers can remain open during this next lockdown here in Northern Ireland. We have all our infection control procedures in place and are following public health guidelines to prevent spread of covid 19 virus, keep all of our clients safe and still provide an essential service during this difficult time.
I am open for face to face appointments but for anyone that is at risk or self isolating a telehealth or zoom consult is also an option.
For those of you working from home remember to stay active. At the start of this my home working patients could see the benefits of working from home (WFH). In recent weeks some are reporting that it is getting increasingly more stressful. It doesn’t suit everyone and strangely people are sitting longer, taking fewer breaks and working harder. Great for the employers but maybe not so great for you!
There is so much help on line these days to stay active at home. There will be something for everyone if you look. Check out some of these sites: NHS live well or the NHS fitness studio, they have 10 minute workouts. Find the time, just do it. Sport England also has tips and guidance on how to keep active in your own home with their staying in work out. There is also Julie Robinson’s move it or lose it which includes chair based exercises. 10 today is another ten minute workout for older people or if you fancy a bit of tai chi try Tai chi with Ros.
Stay safe. Keep well. Keep active.
