What a milestone!

We were recently delighted to welcome our 25,000th registered patient to the practice. Steve was presented with a bottle of Champagne to commemorate the occasion by Martin Dyer, Director of Healthflex.

Martin went on to say “ We have now been in practice at The Edge in Haslemere for 25 years so to welcome our 25,000th registered patient in that year was fantastic.

Is this the end for Lawn Tennis?
There are some new kids in town with growth in new raquet sports over recent years such as Padel, Pickleball and Touch Tennis. These new sports are becoming increasingly more popular and with greater access to play these sports, the numbers are set to rise.

The courts are all smaller than a traditional tennis court so one could argue that they are less demanding physically on the body so allow people to continue to be competitive if for any reason they become physically more limited. The raquets are also easier to manage which enables people of all abilities the opportunity to compete with one another and have fun which at the end of the day, is what it is all about. Having said all that, games can get pretty frantic and it can still be very physically demanding on the body. If this is not something that you have considered trying before, have a go. It’s great fun and excellent exercise.

Is this the end for traditional Lawn Tennis? I don’t think so. Lawn Tennis has been around for decades and is engraved in our sporting history with Wimbledon holding a special place in every tennis players heart. Sure, some players will migrate and play these new forms of raquet sports but tennis will remain strong and will continue to thrive in both the UK and Worldwide.

Calling all skiers…… top tips

Gill Onslow, our in-house ski physio @ Healthflex, shares her advice on how to get the most out of your holiday. Gill, pictured below, is a very experienced skiier herself has lived in Val D’Isere for many winter seasons together with her husband who runs an off-piste ski guiding company - www.alpineexperience.com

Prepare Early

If you don’t exercise regularly start doing so six to eight weeks before you go. Aim to do some strength work 2-3 times per week and stretching daily. You can add in some more dynamic exercises such as single leg squats, jumps, hops, split squats and side lunges. Also don’t forget to do some work on your cardio-vascular fitness, your core and your balance. A series of exercises can be found on our website www.healthflex.co.uk/downloads There is also a great app called Ski Fit available on the app store.

Warm up before you head to the slopes

Walk to the bus or the lifts to get your muscles warmed up and do some stretches before you start. Make sure you have appropriate clothing and equipment that is fit for purpose and keep yourself warm. Stretch again after lunch and whilst tempting in the beautiful mountain top restaurants, resist the urge to overindulge! Save yourself for the evening whilst recounting your heroic skiing!

Poor technique and fatigue are your enemy

Be aware that poor technique and getting tired are the two main predispositions to injury. Ski lessons are essential if you haven’t skied before and if you have, maybe consider having a private lesson to brush up on your technique. Make sure you are fit to ski as the fitter you are, the more you’ll enjoy it. You’ll feel less tired as well as reducing your risk of injury

Treatment and Supports

Always wise to seek professional advice early if you have an injury that you think might give you a problem. Gill, along with her colleagues at Healthflex, are happy to assess, treat and rehabilitate any injury in readiness for skiing. There are many aids and appliances that can also help you to feel more comfortable on the slopes ranging from supports to insoles. There are literally hundreds of different types of support so it is prudent to seek professional advice to guide you on what is most suitable for you and your condition.

Medication/Strapping

Always best to be well prepared and it’s wise to purchase medications, strapping and sun cream prior to skiing and put in your first aid kit. All of these things can be very expensive in resort and hopefully you won’t need them. Well , maybe the sun cream…….

Orthopaedic Surgery Rehabilitation Packages
We live in a day and age when there are many types of orthopaedic surgery that can help joint problems that can help to get us out of pain and enhance our quality of life.

Orthopaedics is an evolving field where new surgical procedures and techniques are being discovered all of the time to either enhance previous surgery or indeed treat new problems. Whilst the surgeons are very skilled and the surgical procedures are extremely important, as important is the rehabilitation process that you need to follow afterwards in order for you to get the optimum result from your surgery.

Our physiotherapy team are very experienced in looking after patients who have had orthopaedic surgery and work closely with consultants in order to achieve the best possible result for you. In order to help this process we have devised three orthopaedic packages that help with the costs of this treatment by providing them for a discounted rate (*)

4 sessions for £208 (saving £18)
8 sessions for £384 (saving £58)
12 sessions for £528 (saving £130)

(*) Sessions are only available to patients that have had recent orthopaedic surgery and if you have been referred by your consultant. Packages need to be paid for in full at the start of treatment. Discount savings are based on our standard fees. They are only available to self paying patients. For further details, please refer to our website www.healthflex.co.uk
