Welcome Hi all, Summer is just around the corner! We’re so lucky to have so many lovely areas to take lunch alfresco style. St Nicholas Park in Warwick is always a favourite in our household to picnic - even going back to my childhood. Gone have the giant slide and witches hat, so too the primary coloured trains each with a golden bell. Today it is even more child friendly (with the rides a lot safer than back in my day). It remains a fantastic day out and if you’re not up for putting together a picnic, the onsite Cafe is an excellent place for a snack. I must try the new(ish) Crazy Golf this year!

HYDROTHERAPY Discover the health benefits of hydrotherapy Castel Froma Specialist Care Centre is dedicated to providing long term care to clients affected by brain injury or neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis. Provided on site is 24 hour nursing care and a therapy team who offer slow-stream rehabilitation to enable our residents to maintain their independence for as long as possible, in a safe and caring environment. We are very fortunate to have the facility of a hydrotherapy pool at Castel Froma, which is used by our residents, private companies and members of the general public. Aquatic therapy (hydrotherapy) has many benefits to health including reduction of pain, increased range of movement, reduced muscle stiffness and increased strength, improves balance and core stability as well as being a relaxing and pleasant environment to exercise in, improving general
wellbeing. Our pool is kept at a comfortable 32°C and is easily accessible. In November 2014 a new outpatient hydrotherapy service was developed to promote the work we do at Castel Froma as well as improve the use and access of the pool to the public. Currently we are treating clients with low back pain, recent orthopaedic surgery, acute stages of neurological conditions and to improve general fitness. All new clients have a one to one land based session with one of our physiotherapists to assess suitability for the pool, followed by a one to one water session. We then offer the choice to continue one to one sessions or to join a ‘medical swim’ session to continue exercises in the water independently. All of our physiotherapists are CSP and HCPC registered and are trained in Aquatic Therapy under the ATACP.
A recent comment from one of our clients: “I find hydrotherapy has been very helpful following successful knee surgery and I have exercises to maintain improvement. I also have Osteoarthritis in my arms and shoulders and now have exercises to improve strength and movement. Mel is lovely; she makes you work hard but is lovely with it!” - Jean For more information about services at Castel Froma, please contact: Melanie Cook Therapy Manager, 01926 427216 or by emailing Melanie.

CREATING IN A BLINK
You Can Do
Magic A
lot of what I do as a coach and therapist is investigative. Before the change ‘magic’ can occur I need to find out, and it is very useful for the client to find out as well, how they do what they do. After all, how can you change what you don’t understand? Makes sense doesn’t it? It may be a phobic response to a particular stimulus or it could be anxiety about a forthcoming event or stressing about work and exams. Whatever it is that the client perceives as a negative event or habit in their life can start to be addressed when we learn ‘why you do that’ or ‘how you learnt to do that’

There is a subtle difference between those last two questions and they can be explained by two pithy statements from one of my mentors – one is where ‘life mucks up you’ and the other is where ‘you muck up life’ – I’ve modified his language somewhat!
Are you feeling stuck in life?
By identifying these habits and beliefs and then by accepting that if you want to move on, it would be a pretty good idea to change them, then the magic can begin.
Do you feel that if only you could let go of the baggage you are carrying around with you things would be so much better?
Now I use the word ‘magic’ in the sense that often the changes are quicker than people expect and the change can be quite ‘magical’... and let’s face it – who doesn’t want a little bit of magic in their lives? Bob Brennan
“I cannot thank Bob enough for giving me what I call a second chance in life” “I went to see Bob when my life was in a crisis. I had many emotional issues from my past, I was a pessimist, I was withdrawn into myself and I was at a crossroads in life and did not know what road to take.

Integral Eye Movement Therapy has been a highly effective tool, that can be simply applied to many of the diverse issues brought by clients, with powerful results.

MYTON HOSPICES’ CHARITY CYCLE EVENT
A charity cycling event on 28th June in which all proceeds go to local charity The Myton Hospices, has been given a boost from Leisure Lakes Bikes - the Daventry branch has announced that it will provide mechanical support on the day and a goody bag for every rider.
The event, being organised by Daventry Cycling Club, offers a range of routes - 106k and 50k for keen cyclists, and a 20k family route. Every penny of the entry fee - ranging from just £8 to £12 goes to the charity. Leisure Lakes Bikes already supports Daventry Cycling Club. As a family run business with passionate, knowledgeable staff, Leisure Lakes Bikes aims to provide great hands-on advice, products and servicing for everyone from beginners to expert cyclists. That knowledge will be on hand in a mechanical support van at the start and finish of the ride on 28th June - so if you have a problem with your bike during the ride, Leisure Lakes will be on hand to sort it out. Every rider will also get a goody bag courtesy of Leisure Lakes, to include a water bottle and discount voucher for use at Leisure Lakes - more ‘goodies’ to be confirmed shortly. Riders signing up to the event online already receive a pre- and post-massage voucher from Leamington Therapy Centre. Routes will be signposted, and it is a registered British Cycling event. Leisure Lakes spokesperson James Golding says, “We are very keen to support this event, a real ‘first’ for Daventry - it will be a good day for cyclists to get out into the great Warwickshire and Northamptonshire countryside, and support a very deserving local charity at the same time. We see this as becoming a legacy event for the area, and are happy to do anything we can to encourage more people to get on two wheels.” More information shortly - to see the routes and sign up, please visit cycleformyton.wordpress.com.

Beautiful Artificial Lawns
without the upkeep!
Clean and safe ■ No mowing ■ No weeds No more muddy patches Hard wearing ■ Unaffected by weather/uv stabilized Green and usable all year round ■ Perfect for pets
Finding an artificial grass product that has the look of natural grass was never an option until recently. But with developments in the last 2-3 years we can now offer you a choice of looks that will give you the dream lawn all year round. We can even fit a carpet that will look like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of summer with a mixture of green fibres and beige to give that thatched look. We use a new monofilament fibre so the feel of the carpet is soft to the touch and friendlier to animals.
...perfect for ch ildren’s play areas too! nused space !
