Christmas Party @ the Centre

It was absolutely one of the blissful and cheerful day i had. Such a very nice people to have around and warm welcoming people. Its a friendly meet place i have ever seen. The people were high up at the peak of having fun, cracking jokes, living up to the most, singing, dancing, laughing and what not it was a complete day out i can say. It was a 'FUN'tastic display for the day.

One thing i should mention the buffet, was so yummy which was very hard to control myself eating them. The highlight of the day was the 'Bollywood Dance' which was performed for the members, kept as a secret which thrilled everybody, where they had a chance to see how multi-talented can Physio's be!. It was the dance for 'Jai Ho' song track, which wouldn't have been a good performance without the quick learning of my dance crew, thank you all girls for making it look so proffessional, funfilled and cheerful.

It was a day of opportunity to see all members on a single day, sadly for safety reasons we were happen to sell only 75 tickets. If not we could have filled more people, which i am expecting when the other unit of the campus is ready to use.

25th Anniversary of MS Support Centre

It really wondered me to hear that next year is the 25th Anniversary of the Centre. In another side I am amazed to hear that the centre has started as a Nerve centre and evolved into a Multiple Sclerosis Support Centre for the patients with Multiple Sclerosis treating members of over 250 in number to the present statistics.

As I heard the centre has started with a Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy centre and later with four rooms, each for Physio, Office and oxygen chamber. Later they rented the next door extending the setting and 4 yrs ago expanded further providing a Phyiotherapy Suite, Glass fitted Fitness Suite, Cafetaria, Rooms for Aromatherapy, Indian Head Massage, Oxygen chamber, Chillout room with a Massage Chair and 5 disabled toilets and Office upstairs. Now, planning for further extension of the centre to work in Partnership with the Parkinson's Society of Chester br.

As the next year is the 25th anniversary of the establishment, we think it worth celebrating and events of programmes were planned out for the year,2010 through out the year to raise the profile of the centre by raising a targetted £25,000 on its silver Jubilee.

The Key Message will be Healthy Living, Fitness, Exercise and Positive Active Lifestyle which will be reinforced by the Physiotherapists at the centre.

Wii Fit in conjuction with Physiotherapy

Am a kind of person move with the world technology. I found the Wii Fit , Wii Sport great in applying them in the treatment of the MS patients to improve their Hand eye Co-ordination, Core Balance, Standing and Sitting balance.

Its also a very good feel to the patients having a go on the games (tennis, bowling, boxing etc)

helps them improve their balance and also release of endorphins which is a feel good hormone like substance produce in brain keeping them cheerful.

With the inseption of the new Wii Fit Plus in the market, am very much looking forward to tailor the treatment programme to fit to our members.
