I’m pleased to announce that people can now book appointments with me online, through the website, whenever it’s convenient for them to do so. I also still have an amazing reception team who can help you on the phone for those that want the more personal touch. Please bear in mind that the Exeter Travel Clinic phone lines (which they also cover) get quite busy at this time of year, so please leave a message if you can’t get through and they will get back to you. Hope you like the additional flexibility this online booking will give you😊

A useful video to share with friends or family who are recovering from COVID-19.

There is much we are still learning about Covid-19, one thing we know for certain, is that the road to recovery isn’t always straightforward. This short anim...

My most recent 5 start Google review, highlighting the benefit of this new-style remote physiotherapy during this social distancing period:

"Excellent advice, exercise plan and follow up after zoom consultation as lockdown aggravated my lower back. Sarah was reassuring and kind and diagnosed the problem along with my g.p. I can now work & walk comfortably again"

We are still currently operating a 'virtual treatment first' policy, but if required / the risk benefit ratio is acceptable, and patients are from symptom free households, we are beginning to get occasional patients in to the clinic itself now, with the physio wearing appropriate PPE and stringent infection control procedures in place.

Just because you are working at home, Mental Health in the 'workplace' should still be a consideration. In a previous post I've already mentioned that it's important to create a daily routine, and do some exercise. It's also important to look after your body, sleep hygiene, and eat healthily. However, here are some specific ideas to protect your mental health during this time - please feel free to share the post if you find it useful:

1) Stay social - communicate with team via telephone/MS Teams/Zoom/Skype etc - ideally at a regular point each day.

2) Don't spend all of your time checking your phone, watching, reading, listening to news updates. Only do once or twice a day.

3) Stay on top of difficult feelings - focus on positive outcomes and talk to trusted family / friends about your feelings.

4) Allow yourself breaks, and rewards after working hard.

5) Take time to unwind

6) Support colleagues (in particular be aware of extroverts who may be finding isolation difficult).

7) Have some background noise - studies show soft classical music can improve focus

8) Seek help when needed: Anxiety UK, BABCP Covid-19 Anxiety Blog, Blurt it out, Calm Harm, Every Mind Matters, Living life to the full, Mind, Mood Gym, NHS Mental Health Apps, OCD UK, WHO.
