COVID-19 Action Plan

To all our clients at Impact Physio

We are monitoring the situation closely and are following the guidance of our governing bodies, the local health authorities and World Health Organization (WHO), to ensure we are doing our part to keep you and our wider communities safe. 

If you have any concerns about attending your appointment, then please don’t hesitate to contact us. If you need to reduce your risk due to personal or wider responsibilities to others, are within a vulnerable category yourself or need to self-isolate due to a persistent new cough or have a fever then please don’t physically attend your appointment.

We are able to offer either telephone consultations or video links to enable your management to continue. In most cases we can continue to offer assessment, advice and our classes in a virtual environment therefore avoiding contact risk.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss this further or make contact prior to your scheduled time to organise this.

If you are well and able to keep your appointment then we can assure you that we continue to maintain our high standards of infection control. We have also increased vigilance with the most-touched surfaces like door handles, credit card readers, and restrooms. We also ensure our team are following guidelines regarding their own health. 

We wish you all the best at this time and thank-you for your continued support. 

2020 changes

A new decade, new challenges… 

This year we are have rebooked some of our favourite challenges – continuing our quest to surf better! We have changed our 3 peak challenge to the “10 Peaks in the Lakes” and added a cool down “Great North Swim” the following day! Of course this will all be accompanied by lashings of cake in true Impact style raising money for some great causes.

This year Phil – who has been a stalwart at the clinic for over 10 years has been offered a full-time role at Nottinghamshire CCC, we wish him all the best and can’t wait until the close season already for him to re-join us!

We welcome Ben Trevor-Jones who has come over from Sydney University Sports Injury Clinic to join Derbyshire CCC for a PT role with the second team, he will be based at all 4 of our clinics!

Jenny Horrigan has recently joined us to offer Pelvic health services, this service is in massive demand and is an intervention that following assessment can make a huge impact on peoples lives. Jenny is based at Long Eaton & Pride Park.

Tom Lamb joins us for 6 months while he is completing his Sports Medicine Masters at The University of Nottingham, Tom has previously worked at Crewe Alexandra.

Lorraine Geutjens has completed her “return to work” HCPC registration after family time and now works PT with us at the Long Eaton base. Lorraine has experience working within the MOD and Nottingham City Hospital in MSK.

And lastly but not least Ali Crewesmith who also works at the Physio Dept. at London Road Community Hospital will be based at our Kedleston Road / University of Derby clinic on a Monday evening.

 

Robin Hood Half

Impact Physiotherapy have been event partners with the Robin Hood event since 2007.

We were delighted to support the event again this year, our 12th year! The physio & massage support has grown to include 3 tents and over 50 volunteers. The team at Impact continue to prioritise this as a fund raising event for the official charities and were delighted this year to invite our colleagues at The University of Nottingham Sports Injury Clinic to join us.

The new team enabled us to offer an even bigger service to the runners, alongside of course the student Physiotherapists and Sports Rehabilitation students from University of Nottingham and Sheffield Hallam University and the Sports Therapy students from The University of Derby who were keen to practice their skills under the supervision of the qualified physios.

The Physiotherapy team were available to help on race day with any pre-race injury advice, or race preparations to a relaxing post-race recovery massage and any injury assessments that were required.

 

 

Cyclone 24

We’re looking forward to supporting this event again in 2 weeks time. It was amazing to see last year the stamina & commitment & teamwork during this 24 hour endurance event. Teams of up to 6 riders aim to complete as many laps as they can during 24 hours. Phenomenal! We supported the riders with a small team of therapists and student volunteers from The University of Derby and The University of Nottingham, providing a well earned massage and chance to stretch out for 15 minutes on a comfy couch! Good luck to the riders – see you in a fortnight.

blog – final weeks of preparation

So this event might be out of your comfort zone but if you’ve ever been tempted to get on a bike and give it a go, I would highly recommend getting yourself signed up for a taster at the arena. We are so fortunate to have such a facility on our doorstep, especially as the Derby Arena is base to our Pride Park clinic. We enjoyed our track session as a team and plan to repeat it again this year.
