Winter Newsletter

All of us at CHP would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and prosperous new year! 2019 has been a good year for us. Our new clinic in St. John’s Wood continues to grow, Chelsea and Hydrotherapy is still thriving and Chancery Lane is busy with all our working city folk. We’ve been working hard this year behind the scenes too. Our website has a fresh new look, we’ve partnered with some fantastic companies, and our Physios have been featured across the mainstream media, both TV and print, sharing their expertise. 

As you will see in the newsletter, we feel very much part of our communities in all our clinics and like to get involved. We like to think of ourselves as a strong family unit. We look after you but also each other. A proudest day for me this year was one sunny September day, watching 21 of our team take part in the London Duathlon in Richmond Park. We did it to raise money for our colleague Helle, who is bravely battling Ovarian Cancer. We superseded our target of raising £5k, raising well over £6k instead! Our team ran and cycled some amazing times competitively, but most of all we laughed and supported each other.


2019 has been a really positive year of growth and 2020 will bring exciting challenges. We had 7 babies conceived or delivered this year so you will also see a few new faces amongst us in 2020! We have lots of projects in the pipeline, including new services ready to launch next year, as well as the introduction of video appointments – watch this space. 

Team CHP look forward to welcoming you through our doors next year. We are excited to get going, so see you then!

Natasha Price, Managing Director

St John’s Wood Clinic News

New Partnership with NW8 Mums

We are delighted to announce a new partnership with NW8- mums. It is a friendly forum, support network and community for mums and dads living in the St John’s Wood area. Originally set up in 2009 by Karin Thyselius as a series of coffee mornings to help her deal with the challenges of becoming a new parent, its popularity grew and grew and it now has a membership of over 2,500. They have a loyalty card scheme allowing members to access discounts at various local businesses affiliated to them. See more at https://nw8-mums.com/about/membership/.

Central Health Physiotherapy is offering a 20% discount on initial consultations to NW8-mums members. And we hope to be organising some talks on topics relevant to the group, such as post- partum pelvic/ back pain, regaining pelvic floor control after pregnancy, neurological development in babies and returning to exercise after childbirth.

Chancery Lane Clinic News

Chancery Lane Lunchtime Streets Event

In early September, Chancery Lane was transformed into a pedestrian-only zone over lunchtime by the City of London for three days. Local Chancery Lane businesses were out on the street promoting a number of health, well-being and eco-friendly initiatives.

As part of this, CHP Physios Tash, Paul and Shefali gave free specialist Physiotherapy advice in “Ask-A-Physio” sessions to passers-by. They spoke to many people, sharing the benefits of exercise and the importance of getting injuries checked out early. Mathias (our massage therapist) was also very busy on all three days, giving 10-minute chair massages to the stressed/tired workers of the street!

Chelsea Clinic News

National Fitness Day

Lauren

On 25 September, Royal Hospital Chelsea hosted UK Active’s flagship event, National Fitness Day. A countrywide campaign to promote activity as part of a healthy lifestyle. The In-Pensioners and children from the local St Joseph’s primary school took part in workouts led by Dame Darcey Bussell and the Chelsea Football Club Foundation. The Physios and pensioners also got active in the gym, thinking about what fitness means to them. If you feel inspired to get more active, but are not sure where to start due to injury or ill-health then get in touch and we can help you to achieve your goals in 2020.

Lauren featured in the Mail on Sunday magazine

Lauren (manager at our Chelsea clinic), inspired to further spread the message about keeping active, recently wrote some tips for an article published in the Mail on Sunday magazine. More info here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-7482503/HEALTH-shape-age.html
