Farewell to Lynne!

We are very sad to announce the retirement of our wonderful acupuncturist Lynne Pretty who has been working at Keith James Physiotherapy for over 13 years now.

Lynne and her father Tony Evans have operated for close to 40 years in Westbury Park, but when Lynn’s father Tony retired, Lynne joined the KJP team and has been a valued colleague for over a decade.

In the past year Lynne has become a grandmother and has decided to hang up her needles to spend more time on grandparent duties.

She will be sadly missed by the many thousands of patients she has seen over the years. We wish Lynn well in her retirement and thank her for her friendship over the past 13 years.

Agnès is moving on to a new role

It is with equal measures of sadness and delight that we will soon be saying ‘goodbye’ to Agnès Canadell as she prepares for a new role. Agnes is expecting a little baby girl in mid-May and will be leaving KJP at the end of February in order to prepare her nest.

Although she has only been with us for a short time, Agnes has become a very popular member of the KJP team and has been a valuable asset to the practice.

We wish her well on her next great journey.

Farewell to Zaheer!

We are very sad to say farewell to physiotherapist Zaheer Hussain, who has been with us at KJP for the past 12 months. He initially came in to cover maternity leave for Sara Ayala and became such a popular member of the team with staff and patients alike, he stayed on for an extra few months.

However, growing up in Stockport, with family and commitments up north, Zaheer has made the long journey back up the M6.

A thoroughly good and decent chap, an excellent clinician, and really good company. Zaheer will be missed, and we wish him well for the future.

Get ready to hit the slopes!

If you are counting down the days and weeks to your skiing holiday, you might be thinking about how best to prepare your body to get the most out of your trip. The team at Keith James Physiotherapy can help you to get ready to hit the slopes.

As well as treating the injuries that happen during the ski trip, physiotherapists are really good at preparing you for your holiday. They can help you with niggling back issues, which can get worse on hard-packed snow. And when the snow is deep, catching your skis in the snow can cause knee ligament issues to be exacerbated. Why not make an appointment to see one of our physios and sort out any pain or stiffness before you head off.

Physiotherapists find that preparing for a ski holiday by investing in fitness, strength and endurance training can help you to avoid succumbing to common skiing injuries. And when you return from your skiing trip, don’t forget to book yourself in for a relaxing massage to help with the aches and bruises you picked up along the way.

Call us on (0117) 330 6820 to book an appintment or book online on our website.
