Travelling with Allergies

a tip from Michel

Travelling with allergies and intolerances is often complicated, especially when you don't speak the language.

Allergy UK, a leading UK charity, provides translation cards to help you order in restaurants and deal with emergencies while you are away from home.

A set of 3 allergy cards (credit card size) costs £15 and food intolerance cards are £10. Both are available in a wide range of languages.

Greetings!

Well what a festive couple of weeks this has been, Easter, weddings, holidays - non stop! But all returns to normality in May and as always, we will continue to be open.

I have also been to my annual Physiotherapy Conference to recharge my physiotherapy batteries which has given me a whole new bag of tricks! More information about a whole host of new therapies and techniques on the cutting edge of physiotherapy: knees, hips, shoulders and more! And another major sports conference next weekend! So exciting.

Bob also has a new venture - www.MarbellaHealth.com Take a look and let us know what you think!

I hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend, fingers crossed it dries out at some point!

As usual, more can be found either on our main website or on our Facebook page.

Sincerely,

Thank You!

I would like to say a big thank you to two of our patients who very generously offered a testimonial about our breast screening service. This is so important as knowing how someone else felt during a treatment can make it so much more comfortable and familiar.

If you are willing to share your story please do let us know, this makes such a difference. It not only allows us to improve and strengthen the service we can offer but also helps other patients know what to expect, making them feel more comfortable and secure.

Golf Stretches

While at conference I met a fascinating chap who works with professional golfers. He feels that there are many good amateur golfers who could easily improve their game with a more "pro" mind set.

One of his best tips? Treat golf like a sport and do a proper warm up and stretch before playing. So here are some stretches to help improve your game!

Emmie's Challenge

Yoga It is said that if you want to stick to your resolutions you should make them as public as possible and ask for support. So this is me sharing publicly and asking for your support!

I have never been a person to weigh myself on a regular basis choosing instead to use the fit of my clothes as a guide. However I recently read this article in Cosmopolitan magazine. I'd picked up a copy just after heading out to buy jeans and being pleased that despite not doing as much exercise recently as I should, I was still the same size. Except I wasn't!

So I decided to take some action! Many of you who have been to the clinic recently will know that Bob is involved with Herbalife. So I have decided to do 2 things for the next 3 months and then review the situation:

Herbalife shakes with extra protein for breakfast and lunch and a normal dinner of my choosing. Including a glass of wine (as I'm not going for sainthood!)
Regular exercise, a combination of weights and cardio.

Well I am at the end of the 2^nd week and so far I have lost ½ kilo overall but, more importantly, my muscle mass is up by 1 kilo, my body fat is down 2% and my metabolic age is a whole year younger!

I've actually been surprised at how not hungry I have been. I am someone who loves their food, shopping for it, planning it, cooking it and eating it! I love baking cakes and making chocolates and sweet things. So I had thought this would be the hardest part. Being so busy the past couple of weeks has helped (I literally have not had time for more then a shake at lunch in any case!) but it hasn't been anything like the usual diet torture.

So watch this space! Here's to looking fit and toned in my bikini this year! Now all I need is some holiday time to spend on the beach . . . . . . Estelle, Bob???

And of course, if you fancy making this a 3 month challenge for you too, please let me know so we can support each other! Bob has also offered a 10% discount if you do want to join me for the 3 month challenge - order online and make sure you tell him we are doing it together! More beautiful beach bodies!
