Putting life into years — this is what we do. 💛

Last week, I had the privilege of visiting and checking in with one of our amazing clients living with dementia. She had previously been walking independently, but after a fall and a short hospital stay for surgery, she returned home needing a hoist and full support. Her family were encouraged to plan for a future where their loved one might need a high level of care.

These moments can feel overwhelming, but they don’t need to be the end of the road. However, time and specialist skills may be needed.

Often, with dementia, it’s not just about memory loss. It’s about how we connect with the person. Our approach uses a therapeutic, person-centred approach, drawing on implicit memory (the ‘doing’ memory that helps people remember actions, movements, and habits even when other types of memory fade) to support trust, engagement, and movement.

Through our consistent, hour-long physiotherapy sessions, gentle therapeutic handling, sensory input, and meaningful routines in her familiar home environment, we created space for recovery — not just for our client physically, but for her family too.

✨ The result? She’s now standing with support, working on her balance and strength, and progressing towards more independence. She’s also attending her day centre again and reconnecting with her community, her confidence, and her life ❤️

This is why we do what we do.

Our team are excellent and I really enjoy celebrating them and their work.

We don’t just add years to life, we help put life back into the years. 🧠💪🌼

Reach your full potential!

People often contact us because they’ve been left wanting more, or because they’re stuck in a queue, waiting to be seen.

We Understand.

NHS physiotherapists do an incredible job, often under huge pressure. But time, staffing, huge caseloads and service limits can often mean people are discharged from services before they feel truly ready.

Whether you’re waiting for an appointment, have recently been discharged, or just feel like you need more support to reach your goals, our private home-visiting physiotherapy service can help.

We can also work alongside your NHS and community services.

Our experienced physios bring care directly to you, exactly when you need it and for as long as you want. We help you stay active, recover well, and manage long-term conditions with confidence.

We are:

Consistent. Compassionate. Focused on your full potential.

Why not invite us to come to talk to a group!

“I wanted to thank you for coming along on Monday and giving us such an interesting and enjoyable talk.

I've taken away 3 things. My husband died last year and since then I've become more and more sedentary. Your talk was a very much a wake up call - I really need to move around a lot more! … Since your talk, I've been for several 30 minutes walks and have been doing quite a lot in my garden. …
The last thing is the chair exercise - I have been telling friends and relatives to try your one leg exercise and its importance - and they have, with varying degrees of success and it is really giving people food for thought.

So not only did you give a fascinating talk, but you are already changing lives. So thank you again for coming.”

Physiotherapy & Dementia:
Movement is Medicine at Every Stage

Today, a new care home we’ve started working with asked us a thoughtful question: “Do you exclude people with dementia or cognitive decline from physiotherapy?”

The short answer is no - in fact, quite the opposite.

Dementia is a neurological condition that affects far more than memory. It can lead to significant physical changes, such as poor balance, altered muscle tone, and reduced mobility. The less a person moves, the greater the risk of pain, joint stiffness, muscle tightness, falls, pressure sores, and increasing dependence.

These physical challenges often lead to distress, anxiety, or behavioural changes, especially when someone is unable to express their discomfort with words.

This is exactly where physiotherapy comes in.

At JLinks, we believe in the power of movement at every stage of life, including when someone is living with dementia.

Our physios are trained not just to treat conditions, but to understand the person behind them.
That means:
• Encouraging safe, supported activity to help maintain mobility and independence for as long as possible.
• Promoting circulation and vascular health, because good blood flow helps keep brain tissue healthier for longer.
• Training carers in safe movement techniques that reduce distress, build trust, and prevent injury.
• Supporting people with gentle, regular repositioning to prevent pain, skin breakdown, and joint / muscle contractures.
• Helping individuals sit more comfortably, move with dignity, and experience moments of calm through therapeutic handling.

This is a huge area where we are finding physiotherapy is underutilised and something we are passionate about making a difference.
Last week we undertook team training on how we can prevent problems associated with poor skin and pressure management with people living with dementia.

We do not exclude people with dementia- We promote physiotherapy and movement because it brings value to their lives.

If you’re a care home, family member, or professional wondering how to support someone living with dementia, please get in touch. We’d love to support you.

Let us help you to get your dosage right!

While medication plays a crucial role in managing Parkinson's, incorporating the right dosage of exercise into your routine can significantly improve your quality of life.

Parkinson's Awareness: The Role of Exercise in Symptom Management.

April is Parkinson's Awareness Month, a time to shed light on Parkinson's disease and the various ways to manage its symptoms.

Benefits of Exercise for Parkinson's Disease:
- Improves Mobility: Regular physical activity helps maintain and improve mobility, balance, and coordination.
- Reduces Stiffness: Exercise can alleviate muscle stiffness and improve flexibility.
- Enhances Mood: Physical activity releases endorphins, which can help combat depression and anxiety often associated with Parkinson's.
- Boosts Cognitive Function: Exercise has been shown to improve cognitive function and slow the progression of cognitive decline.

Recommended Exercise Prescription:
According to the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's Disease, the following exercise regimen is recommended:

1. Aerobic Exercise:
- Frequency: 3-5 times per week
- Intensity: Moderate (e.g., brisk walking, cycling)
- Duration: 30-45 minutes per session

2. Strength Training:
- Frequency: 2-3 times per week
- Intensity: Moderate to high (e.g., weight lifting, resistance bands)
- Duration: 30-45 minutes per session

3. Balance and Flexibility Exercises:
- Frequency: 2-3 times per week
- Intensity: Moderate (e.g., yoga, tai chi)
- Duration: 30-45 minutes per session

4. Functional Training:
- Frequency: Daily
- Intensity: Low to moderate (e.g., activities of daily living, specific functional tasks)
- Duration: 10-15 minutes per session

Remember, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise programme to ensure it is safe and tailored to your individual needs.

By integrating regular exercise into your routine, you can take an active role in managing Parkinson's disease and improving your overall well-being.

Let's spread awareness and encourage those with Parkinson's to move more and live better!
