🧠💪 World Stroke Day – 29th October 💪🧠

Today we’re recognising World Stroke Day — a reminder of the importance of awareness, prevention, and rehabilitation for those affected by stroke.

At Maintain Independence, we work closely with stroke survivors, in particular, those from the wonderful Stroke Speech and Language Group supporting recovery through targeted exercise and manual therapy. Every small step from improving balance to regaining strength makes a difference in restoring independence.

The NHS reminds us to think F.A.S.T. when it comes to recognising a stroke:
👉 F – Face: Has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?
👉 A – Arms: Can they raise both arms and keep them there?
👉 S – Speech: Is their speech slurred or difficult to understand?
👉 T – Time: If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call 999 immediately.

💬 If you’re living life after a stroke — don’t give up. There is so much that can be done to support you to live well.

Contact us for more information on how we can help you maintain your independence.

Let’s spread awareness and hope.
Because every movement matters. 💙

🔥 Relax, Restore, and Maintain Independence 🔥

Hot stone therapy is more than just relaxation, it’s a powerful treatment that helps release deep muscle tension and improve circulation, supporting recovery and long-term movement.

The gentle heat from the stones helps to:

✨ Reduce chronic muscle tightness and joint stiffness
💆‍♀️ Ease symptoms of arthritis and fibromyalgia
🩵 Soothe aches from neurological conditions or overuse
🌿 Improve mobility and flexibility
💤 Encourage deep relaxation and better sleep

For many people, tight muscles or poor circulation can slowly limit what they can do day to day but with regular hot stone therapy, you can stay mobile, comfortable, and confident in your body.

Don’t let a treatable problem stop you from enjoying your walks, hobbies, or time with loved ones. Sometimes a little warmth can make a big difference in helping you maintain independence and keep doing what you love.

💬 Book your hot stone session today and feel the benefits from head to toe.

🌿 Relieve, Recover, Rebuild — and Maintain Independence 🌿

Your calves work hard every day, keeping you mobile, balanced, and steady on your feet. But when tension builds up, it can lead to chronic issues such as:
⚡ Achilles tendinopathy
💥 Chronic calf strain
🏃‍♀️ Plantar fasciitis
🚶‍♂️ Shin splints
🦵 Knee or lower back discomfort

Soft tissue therapy and deep tissue treatments can make a big difference by:

✨ Releasing long-term tightness and scar tissue
✨ Improving blood flow and healing
✨ Reducing pain and stiffness
✨ Supporting smoother, more confident movement

Sometimes, a simple fix like treating tight calf muscles can prevent a problem from growing and help you keep doing the things you love.

Don’t let something that can be treated hold you back from walking, dancing, gardening, or living life on your terms.

💬 Take the next step towards comfort, strength, and independence.

Thank for this wonderful review

🍂 Stay on your feet this autumn

As the evenings draw in, the air turns crisp and leaves begin to fall, the risk of slips and falls rises too.

Did you know that about 1 in 3 people aged 65+ and about half of those aged 80+ will fall at least once each year?

And in England, there were around 210,000 emergency hospital admissions related to falls among those aged 65+ in 2022/23.

If you’ve started to feel less steady on your feet, or you’re worried about your balance or joints in the colder months, you’re not alone.

The good news is: with the right strength, balance and mobility support, many falls can be prevented, helping you stay confident, independent and living well in your own home.

At Maintain Independence we specialise in tailored movement-programmes that help you feel steady, strong and safe — especially as the season shifts.

🌟 Invest a little time now and let the autumn leaves stay outside, not underfoot.
