I'm looking forward to moving, but please bear with me during the transition as I'll have slightly fewer appointments available for a couple of days...

Even if you can't exercise every day, "weekend warrior" activities can still improve your risk of cardiovascular problems...
TL:DR just get over 2 1/2 hours activity each week.

Better weather is just around the corner, so many motorbikes are due to come out of winter storage.
Alongside the bike checks, give a thought to rider ergonomics. Roughly speaking, reducing physical stresses and strains leaves more room for mental attention and neural communications - you stay safer.
Nice little video from YouTuber Andrey here as a refresher...

Riding body position can be a dead giveaway of a new or inexperienced rider. Sometimes just by looking at how a rider sits on his bike you can instantly tell...

Offering my best wishes to my physiotherapy friends & colleagues on this first strike action over NHS pay & conditions ✊️

NHS physiotherapy staff in England are today taking part in their first ever strike over pay - with polling on the eve of action showing strong public support.

I am sorry to say I have to cancel all my clinic appointments from Monday 4th July to Friday 8th July, due to Covid 19 quarantine.

Although there is no longer a legal requirement for people with SARS-CoV-2 (Covid 19) infection in England to self-isolate, the public health advice for people with Covid 19 is to
stay at home and avoid contact with other people.

As a chiropractor and physiotherapist, both regulated healthcare professions, I need to exercise my best judgement in the interests of my patients rather than my business, and this public health advice is the measure to which I must hold.

Current NHS England guidance is to isolate for a minimum of 5 days after a positive test. Due to symptoms I had avoided contacts for 2 days of negative lateral flow tests, but the positive test has reset the clock...

As soon as I can, I will make plans to rebook appointments and contact individuals directly. I will also be opening some extra clinics to help catch up.

I can only apologise for this disruption to my clinics, and to your care.

With thanks to all the well-wishers and the teams at Royal Manchester/MU-NHS-FT, I am relieved to be back to the usual days in clinic 😀 👍

Apologies to all my patients for my unexpected but unavoidable absence this week 😔
No definite confirmation yet, but I hope to be back for you all next week 🤞

Although there is no legal requirement to isolate, it is still recommended good practice...

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, you should avoid contact with others and order a PCR test.

If you test positive, stay at home.
