Tai Chi is a wonderful exercise class for seniors. It helps with core strength and helps prevent trips and falls.

Zumba gold at monica wills house .. or also highly recommended is joining a choir Acta centre has one on wed evening.. free !

age concern run walking groups around the city - some just do very short walks. the https://www.facebook.com/1773465102942459 Family Cycling Centre has a range of adapted bikes and trikes to use on the old Whitchurch athletic track.

My partner has a weekly Qi gong class at thr Lam Rim centre. It’s quite similar to tai chi and is gentle but strengthening http://www.lamrim.org.uk/cwh/wp/?ai1 ec_event=397

The GP should have done a proper referral for a trainer / physio led session -I know they do them at Easton Gym but maybe not the private south bristol ones... MoveGB website is a good way to search for classes even if youre not a member and i think GPs can make referrals to them also.. Bristol AgeUk and Linkage are also worth a look http://www.linkagebristol.org.uk/whats-on.aspx

LinkAge run a lot of activities. Any of these hit the spot? http://www.linkagebristol.org.uk/hub/bedminster-southville/whats-on.aspx

if she can get to Southmead hospital, this singing class sounds superb ... https://lifeofbreath.org/event/singing-for-lung-health-group/

Also very useful but not sure you can search by area easily https://www.wellaware.org.uk/info-resources/find-activities/

I'd reccomend a getting a trainer who is qualified in rehab and can advise support and increase the confidence of your mum...(it would have knocked mine an accident like that). I use a trainer at Pure Gym who is lovely..he's a man in his late 40 s and very good, really patient and focussed on what you want:)

Emma Elderberry syrup is a great source of vit c - T's not keen on the brands I can get in the UK but if I can get her to take it I know it makes a difference. I've been buying it from Amazon for a really good price (can't remember the brand, but it begins with an S...

You say you are "studying"-are you still a student or a MT? I would recommend you not work on this client if you are not licensed & insured. Also, I found this site for UK which indicates contraindicated for TIA: http://www.gcmt.org.uk/Portals/0/documents/Massage_Therapies_MT1_Cautions_and_Contraindications.pdf

James, did you perchance look at the link I provided much earlier in this discussion? It is from the General Council for Massage Therapies in the UK. And it states that the condition is contraindicated for massage. Please, do NOT ever base what you feel an outcome will be for a client on your own experience. Both of you may have experienced strokes, but have different histories physically. As stated by Dianna, well experienced massage therapists would be wary of this client, so a student should refer out until they have the experience & knowledge behind them to practice safely-which you must not have based on asking the questions you have posted.

James, you've asked some damn good questions, and I hope that you continue to do so for as long as you practice. The best questions are usually those that make others uncomfortable. It's great that you had a good experience with massage for your own situation. Have you asked the massage therapist(s) that worked with you about why they chose to work with you as they did? It would be interesting to know how well they understood the potential risks before they started, and what guided their decision-making as the work progressed. Without knowing much more about the client you are asking about, I'd hesitate to do any aggressive work. Not only because of the potential risk of reinjury, but also because I wouldn't want to trigger any more protective responses (pain, muscle tension, etc.) by adding nociceptive input to his CNS. If I worked with him, I'd be most likely to use dermoneuromodulation (DNM) and positional release techniques (PRT), mainly because they are extremely gentle and are specifically designed to calm the CNS - AND because I have a lot of practice using those methods with complex issues. In DNM and PRT, there are no strokes (i.e. effleurage, petrissage, etc.), only gentle skin stretching and some cautious positioning. The most comprehensive approach to positional release that I am aware of, is Strain Counterstrain (SCS). The Jones Institute is the best existing source of SCS training, which is best known for treating musculoskeletal issues, but they also teach SCS for blood vessels and for nerves. I am not yet familiar with the blood vessel and nerve work, so you'll have to ask questions about that elsewhere. Right now there are only a few people teaching DNM, including Diane Jacobs and myself. However, you can find a lot of information on it, including a link to download a free manual, at Dermoneuromodulation.com, or you can check out the DNM FB page. Regarding aromatherapy: consult with someone certified in clinical aromatherapy. They will have a lot of training in the chemistry of essential oils and a greater depth of knowledge regarding specific uses and contraindications with various pathologies and medications.

James Cooper, it's hard to tell how much training you actually have from tis post. If you're a newbie, probably best to refer him to someone with more training. You could observe and possibly learn from that. If you mentioned the stuff you're studying as possible options for working effectively with this particular client, then, if you are a seasoned therapist and simply wanting to expand your quiver of possibly useful tools, although I haven't studied it, simply read some articles and posts by folks who practice it on this site and others, DNM might be a gentle enough approach in a number of ways to be a skillful manual therapy choice for this client. I'd be interested to hear what Diane Jacobs or Jason Erickson thinks about that idea regarding a specific situation in which that work might be the safest and possibly most effective choice to communicate relaxed embodiment and reset his nervous system after such shocking events.

Jesse James is the man

Iv recently had both my combo and bass head serviced by a great technician named martyn bailey. Very reasonably priced too.0117 977 3720 id recommend him, hes based in hengrove.

I'm with Southville surgery, appt waiting lists are quite long but I like the surgery & the drs are always super helpful:)

Very happy with Bedminster Family Practice: http://www.bedminsterfamilypractice.co.uk/

Bedminster family practice are wonderful. The doctors nurses and receptionists. They operate a 48 hr appointment system so you never wait longer than that. They also apply common sense and offer telephone consultations which saves everyone's time and a lot of resources.

I've been with Malago Surgery for many years,and rate all the team there very highly.It's always possible to get a same day appointment if necessary,if you don't mind not having your usual GP.

Just to mention that all the Bedminster surgeries will be merging soon into one large Bedminster group, so in theory you will be able to visit any of them that has an appointment available, no matter which one you join.

Sadly, https://www.twitter.com/jeremy_hunt does not inspire trust. He misuses data, misleads. Doctors won't be fooled.

I've been with Gaywood House for 10 years,they're always great and very accommodating. 10/10.

C Road Dental Surgery currently closed to new patients

Bedminster family practice and East St dental surgery

Gaywood House surgery v good. Never had issue getting appointment and all the docs I've seen (I think most, if not all of them!) are really nice and offer good advice.

MPS services, staunton lane, stockwood. Just up the lane behind Horseworld. Our long term mechanic. Very trustworthy and always fair!

Def Langdons who are really honest and friendly

I've used Ashton Motor Care on the recommendation of Audrey Alba for the past 2 years. My car (07 reg) hasn't failed its MOT in that time.

Smyth Road Garages.

Cabot Motors have always been straight with me — ask for Roger

Depends what make you drive. I opt for specialists just because it gives me extra confidence they know the cars well. I have been very happy with VW Services off York Road for VW/Audi/Skoda/etc and have just started using Renatec on Kings Road for wife's Citroen (but they also specialise in other French makes).

Merrywood practice at William Budd health centre. Walk in gp appointment every morning. Thoroughly recommend them.

I managed to get the last appointment with Malago yesterday but at the BS1 surgery. That was repeat ringing from 8:30 - 8:40. 10 minutes and all appointments gone. It really is ridiculous

Crest family practice are really good! They have moved from St Johns lane up to knowle health park which is a shame as I now have to drive... but you can always get same day appts (if you genuinely need one) and of not the prebookable ones are normally that week or the following.

Lennard Surgery- we always get an appointment.

I find Southville surgery very good.

Malago surgery is rubbish. Never the same GP, can never get an appointment and they never follow up appointments

Another vote for Gaywood House

Gaywood House is great.

I second Gaywood House - it gets a bad rep due to its location but my boyfriend goes there and can always get an appointment quickly whereas I'm at Southville and sometimes have to wait to up to three weeks.

Yeah - I've found the appointment system at Gaywood house slightly better than at Southville surgery.
