Last week a Serbian politician suffered a stroke during a live TV show.
Everything seemed normal at first β until viewers noticed something was off.
As he spoke, his words began to slur, and the right side of his face appeared to droop.
The hosts, not immediately realizing the seriousness of what was happening, paused to check in and asked if he was okay.
GliΕ‘iΔ tried to continue, insisting he was fine, but within moments, his condition visibly worsened.
Later, at the hospital the doctors confirmed he had suffered a stroke.
Early intervention can make a real difference.
According to statistics, there are approximately 152,000 strokes in the UK every year. That is more than one every five minutes. One in five strokes are fatal.
Do you know how to recognise is someone is having a stroke?

Local cryotherapy can be beneficial for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and people suffering from muscle and joint pain. The technique is often used in sports medicine because of the valuable benefits it provides athletes. Those involved in professional training sessions and competitions regularly experience soreness and soft tissue injuries that can get in the way of peak performance. Local cryotherapy is also a useful preventative measurement, as it strengthens muscles and joints to reduce the possibility of future injuries.

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a syndrome experienced as pain or stiffness, usually in the neck, shoulders and upper arms, but which may occur all over the body. The pain can be sudden or can occur gradually over a period. Most people with PMR wake up in the morning with pain in their muscles; however, cases have occurred in which the person has developed the pain during the evenings or has pain and stiffness all day long.

Well done girls π
Apart from a five-minute spell at the start of the second half, the Jaguars were in control of this match. Very pleasing to see high pressing, good second ball anticipation and excellent corner plays.
Elsie finished well from a quick throw in from Betti in the first half. A number of other chances were created but not taken. Liv in goal had little to do but did it confidently. A practised corner routine led to the 2nd goal - a fine volley by Katie, assisted again by B.
Some lovely passing moves in the second half could have led to more goals. Bree probably had her best game of the season, Aoife and Aurelia were solid in defence, Ava and Elsie were constant threats.
Lily A, Esther, Elsie and Ava all had good chances to increase the lead. POTM Elsie, Coach POTM Katie. But every girl played their part today against a side which beat us 5-2 in our last match. Good way to end the year ππ»

Having relocated to Hexham in 2018 and after cementing a reputation with patients for routinely going the extra mile it became apparent that Hexham and the Tyne Valley needed a Clinic that mirrored my principals of patient care 1st and foremost.
Graduating with both BSc- First-Class Honours and MSc Degrees in Physiotherapy and a background in athletics I am passionate about guiding and helping patients through their rehabilitation process whether they are professional athletes training, weekend warriors with niggling pain, patients recovering after surgery or accident or elderly with restricted motion and function.
With extensive Post Grad training including Mulligan Concept-lower and upper body, Diploma in Osteopathic Articulation, Osteopathic Articulation in Pregnancy and Post-partum, The Complete Body Manipulation, The Vital Shoulder Master-Class, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation, TCM- Sports Kinesio Practitioner, Medical Acupuncture, Rapid Neurofascial Reset, Running Repairs, Strength and Conditioning for therapists, Pfilates Instructor and numerous other professional development courses-my training is evidence-based, continuous and underlines my wish to provide the best possible patient care.
I am genuinely happy for every achievement my patients make and feel privileged to be able to support them by offering guidance, treatment and education. I love the variety in my clinical day and working with individuals of different ages and backgrounds.
This touches on who I am but no written words can truly convey the passion I have for my profession and my desire to assist patients in overcoming their ailments. I believe the best testament to any service is the recommendation of former patients.
