Do you suffer from Arthritis?
Scientific studies have shown that hydrotherapy can improve strength and general fitness in people with various types of Arthritis. Hydrotherapy is the use of water in the treatment of different conditions, including arthritis and related rheumatic complaints. Hydrotherapy differs from swimming because it involves special exercises that you do in a warm-water pool. The water temperature is usually 33–36ºC, which is warmer than a typical swimming pool.
To find out how how Hydrotherapy can benefit you please call us on 01489 569 888 or email reception at admin@lbhealthcare.co.uk

A little snippet of our Sports Therapist, Oliver demonstrating and educating a patient. He gives advice on exercises to do at home to improve stiffness in the neck and shoulder area.
Education and advice is a key part of any physiotherapy or sports therapy treatment. A big part of your therapist’s role is to help educate you about your injury or condition and how it can affect you. A therapist will teach you exercises which you can do every day at home. Therapists can give a...dvice on posture at work, how to sit correctly at a desk, how a computer screen can be positioned and what height it needs to be. If you do a lot of driving, the therapist can talk you through correct head rest and seat position and advice on taking regular breaks, as well as providing individually tailored exercises to treat your injury.
If you think Sports therapy or Physiotherapy can help you, please give us a call on 01489 569 888 or email admin@lbhealthcare.co.uk

How physiotherapy can help you at work
Now that there is no set retirement age, and with people needing to wait longer to receive their state pension, most of us can expect to have longer working lives.
Many of us will welcome being able to work longer, but it will mean better managing our health over our whole working lives.
... Physiotherapy keeps people fit for work
Physiotherapists take a ‘whole person’ approach. The way in which you spend your working time is taken into consideration as part of a physiotherapy assessment. Physiotherapy can help you to remain at, or return to work.
Within the workplace, specialist occupational health physiotherapists provide further expertise such as ergonomic and workplace assessments.
These enable employers to work with you to prevent sickness absence or to enable you to make an effective return to work after a period of illness or injury.
Physiotherapy reduces time taken off work
Physiotherapists are well-placed to support you to prevent health problems such as back or neck pain, and to remain in work or return to work following illness or an injury, or after an operation.
They can also support you to manage a long-term condition.
All physiotherapists promote workplace health and as well as advising on work, they are skilled in providing the right advice to help you engage with activities that might you help you, like physical exercise.
It is proven that early access to physiotherapy reduces the time employees take off work.

Sun safety tips for home and on holiday
There are many ways you can reduce your exposure to the sun and protect your skin from UV rays. Here are your sun protection basics:
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (one that protects from both UVA and UVB rays) with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30 on all areas of exposed skin every day, even if it's cloudy or you're mostly indoors. Remember that UV rays can penetrate clouds and windows.... Use a higher SPF if you're going to be outdoors for longer periods of time. Apply generously, and remember to reapply frequently (at least every two hours), especially if you've been swimming or sweating. Go indoors or seek out shade between 11am and 3pm, when the sun's rays are strongest. A good rule of thumb is to watch your shadow: when it’s shorter than your height, get out of the sun. Wear a hat with a broad brim to help protect your face, neck and ears, and cover your arms and legs with a long-sleeved top, trousers or a long skirt. Remember that fabric with a tighter weave offers more protection than a looser weave. You can tell how much sun is getting through by holding the fabric up to the light. Protect your eyes with sunglasses that offer full UV protection. In the UK, this means they should display a UV 400 label; the British Standard or CE mark (BS EN 1836: 2005); or a label that says they provide 100% UV protection. Babies and children have very sensitive skin, so it's important to make sure they're well covered. Use a sunscreen with a high SPF and make sure they're protected with a hat, sunglasses and the appropriate clothing. Remember that a tan (from the sun or a sunbed) does not protect your skin from the sun; in fact, it’s a sign that damage has already occurred. If you prefer to have darker skin, a fake tan is a safer option, but remember that it does not provide sun protection either.

Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future.
When is physiotherapy used?
Physiotherapy can be helpful for people of all ages with a wide range of health conditions, including problems affecting the:... •bones, joints and soft tissue – such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and sports injuries •brain or nervous system – such as movement problems resulting from a stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson's disease •heart and circulation – such as rehabilitation after a heart attack •lungs and breathing – such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis
Physiotherapy can improve your physical activity while helping you to prevent further injuries.
Physiotherapists
Physiotherapy is provided by specially trained and regulated practitioners called physiotherapists.
Physiotherapists often work as part of a multidisciplinary team in various areas of medicine and settings, including: •hospitals •community health centres or clinics like us at LBhealthcare
LBhealthcare physiotherapists can also offer home visits.
What our physiotherapists do
Physiotherapists consider the body as a whole, rather than just focusing on the individual aspects of an injury or illness.
Some of the main approaches used by physiotherapists include: •education and advice – physiotherapists can give general advice about things that can affect your daily lives, such as posture and correct lifting or carrying techniques to help prevent injuries •movement, tailored exercise and physical activity advice – exercises may be recommended to improve your general health and mobility, and to strengthen specific parts of your body •manual therapy – where the physiotherapist uses their hands to help relieve pain and stiffness, and to encourage better movement of the body
There are other techniques that may sometimes be used, such as exercises carried out in water (hydrotherapy or aquatic therapy) or acupuncture.
