**COVID 19**
The last year has been a roller coaster for all of the team, as we gradually became used to adapting to the emerging situation ensuring we could continue to support and treat our clients.
As per government guidelines we continued to provide both face to face and virtual sessions following individual risk assessment and discussion. Using virtual platforms proved to be an effective way to support the continuation of individual management programmes for some, allowing clients to maintain structure and focus to their week. We were so impressed with the resilience and determination of our clients in keeping their physical well being a real priority. Self-management, education programmes and resources available on the internet have been key to ensuring exercises are completed. We also applauded the vital support being given from family and carers.

We have extended our clinic hours at Springbank Clinic to allow us to see more clients in our dedicated gym space.
We now have slots every day except Monday. We are finding the use of photos and videos (taken with consent) is often more helpful for clients than written instructions. It can help them to better see and manage their alignment and postural issues. Jane is heading off to New Zealand for a few weeks to recharge the batteries and see what they do down under !
Jan 2020- A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL !
A change in staffing meant we no longer have admin support to help remind us write up these these updates but that has meant lots of hands on time with our clients as well as training our newest member of staff Paige Beatham. She joins us a physiotherapy assistant to replace Zoe who we are proud to say has taken a job as physiotherapist at the Stroke Unit in Maidstone Hospital.All of Zoe's clients were so sad to see her go and so were we as she was a very well respected staff member of our lovely team.
This month we have also started assessing clients with M.S ready to start an exercise class on a Monday this month in Langton Green Village Hall .This is a joint venture between the NHS, the voluntary sector/ The M.S society and our team.Referral is via Geraldine Brand the MS Nurse specialist or a healthcare professional.Get in touch if you are interested.
We also run small exercise groups in Sevenoaks at Springbank Clinic on a Tuesday and Thursday if you are wanting to exercise with company. We continue to provide invaluable support to all the residents at Gloucester House Nursing home starting an exercise class later in the month and encouraging residents to be more active helping to reduce their fall risk and providing relevant exercises advice and equipment as required.

Having completed a course in the PD Warrior approach for Parkinson's, involving on-line education and a practical workshop, Elissa has started a small group based around this innovative approach.
The approach involves an initial assessment, followed by participation in a ten week programme, aimed at integrating positive exercise habits into daily life. The programme aims to reduce some of the negative effects of the condition, build resilience in the central nervous system against further damage and possibly lead to improvements in function previously lost. It centres around ten core exercises but can be modified to provide an individual programme. It is particularly targeted at those with early, recently diagnosed Parkinsosn's. Anyone interested can contact us via [email protected] to find out more

Elissa & Jane have been busy treating clients, growing the team and as if that wasn't enough, their long term dream of creating a wider reaching Neuro Hub are coming to fruition. With the help and support of many people, such as Lisa Beaumont and The Springbank Clinic, there will soon be greater signposting to resources available to those managing rehabilitation. Currently, group exercises are taking place on a weekly basis. However, places are limited so please get in touch now if you would like to find out more.

One amazing woman we know has stepped up to challenges time and time again and our close friend and inspiration is Lisa Beaumont. She is a finalist in the Kent Women in Business awards in the Contribution to the Community category, and we wish her every success. As an ambassador for West Kent Different Strokes, she is a strong and positive voice in the community. To find out more about West Kent area different Strokes group, contact Lisa here.
