Good evening! Following the government announcement yesterday, things are looking positive and there’s a definite light shining at the end of this tunnel!

We are awaiting guidance from the governing body, who are currently reviewing the legislation, as soon as there is an update to provide, I will be in touch.

Keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼 🙏🏼

As always, stay safe and please be in touch if you are suffering!

Thanks

Laura 😊

Following the announcement this week from the Government, the advice from my governing body, the Sports Therapy Organisation, is there will be a detailed review of the guidance and legislation published and until further notice, we are to postpone all appointments until they advise otherwise.

In the meantime, I will be available for virtual appointments, should you feel that would be of benefit.
I am always available if you want a chat or a catch-up too, please feel free to call.

Stay safe, take care and thank you, as always, for your continued support 😊

Great news!!! As we officially exit ‘Lockdown 2.0’, the Sports Therapy Organisation has given the guidance that ‘pre-lockdown 2.0’ appointments can resume. In short, ALL appointments will be permitted as of Thursday 3rd December onwards. Maintenance and Sports Massage appointments CAN take place.
As was the case July-November, a Covid screening and consultation call will take place prior to your appointment and all Covid protocols are being strictly followed.
Any questions, please drop me a text or a call, otherwise I’ll look forward to seeing you soon. Thank you, as always, Laura 😊

WE ARE STILL OPEN!!!
We have been given the green light by the government and the governing body to continue to provide a service during this time. There are stricter measures in place with regards what is permissible to treat on a face-to-face basis.
If you have any questions, please do get in touch.
Thank you as always for your continued support. Stay safe. Laura x

We are still open!!
I’ve had several people enquiring this week as to whether I am able to work at the moment. Despite Flacks Gym being closed due to the local lockdown covering Eccleshill, Sports Therapy is still permitted. Flacks have allowed me access to the clinic room and therefore, I am still operating at Flacks on a Monday and Tuesday as always. Please feel free to get in touch with any enquiries.
Thanks 😊

I am sure many will have seen the latest government announcement yesterday in relation to the reopening of the next set of industries. It was suggested that ‘beauty salons’, including ‘massage and close-contact services’ could return from Monday 13th July. As it stands, we are waiting on instruction from the governing body. It is vital they review and re-review the information and it will all be dependant on the ‘restrictions and limitations’ that were mentioned yesterday. Fingers crossed we’ll be allowed back, however, Scottish therapists were permitted to return to work as of Monday 6th July and the Scottish government then revoked that decision yesterday, so until the official word is given by the STO and the official guidelines are produced, I’m not going to get ahead of myself! I will be sure to update you all and be in touch with any news as soon as I have it 👍🏼
Thank you again for your patience and support 😊

Following the entry into phase 3 of the government’s plan this weekend, with the reopening of pubs, bars, hairdressers and barbers on Saturday, we were disappointed not to be included in this phase.

The Sports Therapy Organisation (STO) have continued to review the government documents and also the legal position for us as members. The recommendation from the STO is that until changes are made to the guidelines pertaining to ‘close contact’ interactions, members should not perform any hands-on techniques.

Should there be any change, I will be sure to update you as soon as I have any information. For now, should you have any questions or you are struggling with any injuries or aches and pains, I am only a phone call away and I am still offering video appointments should you feel that could be of assistance.

Once again, I hope to see you soon but in the meantime, take care and stay safe.

As we start to see a glimmer of ‘normal’, face coverings/masks are still a recommended layer of protection. Don’t forget...😉

‼️IMPORTANT UPDATE‼️

Please read carefully and to the very end... 👍🏼

My governing body, the Sports Therapy Organisation (STO), have been working tirelessly over the months, but in particular, the last couple of weeks, alongside the government and associated governing bodies, to get our doors back open.

There are dates that have been suggested for a return to operating, however, as with everything surrounding this pandemic, nothing is concrete.

I have been busy behind the scenes preparing for the news of a return date, to enable me to be as organised and ready for when the green light is given🚦

We are continually receiving refreshed information and guidelines from the STO and the current advice is indicating that, even upon a return to work, things will be very different.

Appointments will only be permitted upon the evidence of a clear clinical rationale for a face-to-face session. If there is a clear issue with functionality or a debilitating NEED for treatment, a restricted appointment will be able to go ahead.
General maintenance and sports massage appointments WILL NOT be permitted in the initial phase of return.

Existing clients will be contacted individually, to assess whether there is justifiable and clear rationale for an appointment should they feel they require one.

I must add, this is all subject to change, as lockdown measures continue to ease, I am hopeful this will allow aspects to be relaxed. Equally, should lockdown measures tighten again, the suggested dates will no doubt change, as will the guidelines of work.

I will be continuing to update on the policies and procedures of attending an appointment a little nearer the time, including: duration and structure of appointments; PPE; guidelines for both client and therapist to follow before, during and after appointments.

The health, safety and well being of you - the client, your families, myself and my family are paramount when making the decision to return to business.

Thank you so much for your patience and support during such a difficult time for us all.

I will take this opportunity to remind you that online appointments are available should you be suffering from any issues at present.

Any questions you may have, please do get in touch. I look forward to (hopefully) seeing you all soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

**Mental Health Awareness Week**

Be kind.

Staying positive and coping is undoubtedly difficult for many during this time of uncertainty. It’s okay not to be okay.

A couple of things proven to enhance mood are exercise and vitamin D, so do your best today and everyday, to get out for some form of exercise and enjoy the sunshine, even if it’s only from your own garden☀️🏡

Talk. Now more than ever, it couldn’t be more important. Please don’t forget I am only a phone call, text or email away and even if it’s only a chat and a catch up, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We’re all in this together and we will beat this. Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay in touch.

We are now going to be offering online appointments for consultation and assessment of your injuries, aches and pains. This will allow you a great opportunity to access knowledge and advice on injury, treatment, rehabilitation and conditioning.

Sports Therapy is often perceived as a very ‘hands on’ profession, however, an online consultation means that you can still get your issue assessed through a video consultation, meaning your progress and pain relief isn’t put on hold and together we can do everything possible to get your rehab journey started.

Get in touch via this post or on 07557 771094 to book an appointment 👍🏼 🎥 🙋🏼‍♀️

Good afternoon folks 👋🏼☀️

As we approach the end of our fifth week in lockdown, I just wanted to check in and see how you are all doing? ✅

I’ve been filling my time taking calls and offering advice to clients, getting ahead on admin, accounts and updating exercise/stretch programmes ✍🏼📇, as well as plenty of house related jobs 🏡 Oh, and not forgetting keeping the new addition entertained 🐶

Please do feel free to get in touch should you need my assistance with any new or existing injury concerns or general aches and pains? Or even if you just want a catch up chat, my phone is always available ☎️ 👍🏼

I am looking forward to seeing you all as soon as the time is right 😊

Thank you for your continued support 🙏🏼

Here’s Lucy...

**IMPORTANT NOTICE**

It is with great sadness that I am posting this message and without doubt, one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make in business.

In light of recent Government guidance on social distancing, I am ceasing hands-on therapy with immediate effect, morally, I know this is the right decision, in order to try to assist in stemming the spread of coronavirus which can be transmitted by those who do not develop any symptoms. Safeguarding the health of my clients, my own health and our families, is paramount.

We’re all hopeful this will only be a temporary measure and we will be back as soon as is viable.

I will be available in the coming weeks if you would like to call, if you want to ask any questions, need advice, would like to discuss exercises or just for a general chat, please feel free to get in touch.

For now, I want say a huge thank you, as always, for your loyalty and custom.
Please keep safe and healthy, we can and we will fight this.

Thanks again and stay safe,

Laura x
