Health and Exercise
You can also take advantage of our other services even if you don't need Day Care, we offer...
Chiropody and Podiatry Clinics
It is so important we all take good care of our feet; we shouldn't just put up with sore toes and feet and if you are experiencing pain or discomfort, chances are your feet need some special attention.
Our fully qualified chiropodist can examine your feet and treat a wide range of problems and advise you on how best to maintain healthy feet and on suitable footwear.
It may be that you need a referral to an NHS clinic or back to your GP, the chiropodist can advise on this and liase with GPs and Districy Nurses to treat specific problems.
Anyone over the age of 55 years can access this service and we run four clinics a week. You will need to make an appointment and there is a charge for the service but we endeavour to keep this well below what you might pay for other private providers.
We also have hairdressing, a beautician and reflexology all available by appointment and at prices well below those you expect to pay on the 'High Street'. So if you need a bit of pampering do try our services.
Exercise Classes
As we get older it is easy to slow down and become less active, it's hard to motivate ourselves and there is also so much misinformation about what we can and cannot do when we suffer from certain conditions such as arthritis, angina, high blood pressure etc. It's always a good idea to have a chat with your GP beforehand but in most instances they will recommend some form of exercise.
We offer a range of exercise classes within our centres with trained instructors; these are open to everyone, so you don't have to be a regular at the Centre to take part. Exercises are specifically designed for older people and help to maintain healthy bones and muscles, balance and co-ordination.
Keeping fitter can make you feel better, boost your immune system, help you sleep, lose weight and help keep you mobile much longer. It's also a good way to meet new people and you can always stay on for a chat after the session.
