News from BuryOsteopaths

Introducing Emma

My name is Emma Longland and I graduated fromBirmingham University in 2009 with a degree in sports therapy.I joined Bury St Edmunds Osteopaths Ltd in therapy. I joinedBury St Edmunds Osteopaths Ltd in August 2009 as a sportstherapist, having taken three months off to travel aroundAustralia I am back at the practice and eager to continuemy work there.

A Sports Therapist issomeone with anincreased knowledgeof acute and chronicmuscular injuries anddisorders occurringboth in and out ofsport. Postural assessments, jointassessments and a variety of specialised tests are used todetermine the cause of pain or discomfort. An in-depthknowledge of anatomy, physiology, injuries, disorders, exerciseand rehabilitation are all used to provide the best treatmentand advice.

As a sports therapist my role is mainly working with injury pre-vention, treatment and rehabilitation as well as being able toprovide sports massage. All injuries whether occurring duringsport, work or at home, both new and old can be assessedand treated. I use different tests and techniques to determinethe area and structures damaged and can devise a treat-ment plan from there. Treatments can consist of sports mas-sage, neuromuscular and soft tissue release techniques,stretching, taping and strapping the area, postural correction,aftercare advice and exercise prescription for at home reha-bilitation.

I also offer sports massage for aching and tried muscles orfor people looking to improve their sporting performance.Massage is great for improving circulation, aiding in recovery,reducing muscle soreness or stiffness after exercise, improvingposture and y, reducing muscular pain or tightness and reliev-ing stress and tension in the body.

Local Matters with David Ruffley MPThe out of hours GP service in Suffolk recently hit the nationalheadlines - but for the wrong reason. It was alleged that there are only two out of hours GPs covering600,000 people. Since 2004, GPs have been able to transferresponsibility for provision of out of hours care to their localPrimary Care Trust (PCT). Suffolk PCT disputed these figures so, in response to concernexpressed by my constituents, I raised the issue with their ChiefExecutive. I was told that in a typical week there would be aminimum of five GPs covering the population of Suffolk, approxi-

mately 600,000 people. Although the situation is not as dire as suggested in the national press, nonetheless,my constituents do deserve a better service. From 1 April there will be a newprovider for the Suffolk PCT out of hours GP service. It is expected that the servicewill improve but if I receive complaints from my constituents indicating the contrary,I shall be raising the matter again.In the longer term, I believe that responsibility for commissioning an out of hoursservice should be returned to GPs - either through their own practice or via an outof hours service provider. This would rebuild the link between GPs and out of hoursservices.In the Suffolk PCT area we have the top rated GPs in the Eastern Region - accordingto a recent patient survey. I believe they are in the best position to judge what isbest for their patients.

Suffolk Rural Economy Scheme

The Suffolk Rural Economy Scheme is administered by SuffolkCounty Council, on behalf of the partners, which includes therural district and borough councils of Suffolk.

Small one-off revenue and capital grants will be awarded toshops, post offices and public houses in rural areas, whichcan demonstrate sustainable economic community benefits.

The aim is to assist:Private rural shops and post offices, which are based in the community they serve, are viable, an asset to the community and the only business of that type in the settlement;social enterprises, charities, voluntary and community groups which run, or are creating, an economically viable community shop for the benefit of their rural community; andrural public houses in Suffolk which are considering diversifying their business to include a grocery/ newsagent shop in order to serve their local community.

Shops with a turnover of £7500 per week or less may apply forgrants to improve premises or to expand their business. Thesegrants can also be applied for alongside 'Raid Control' grantsfrom Suffolk Constabulary to improve security and staff training.

Additional grant money available via theEnterprising Communities Fund...

Available for new community businesses (or genuinely new ini-tiatives being set up by existing ones), run by the communityfor the community. Community shops are perhaps the bestexample, although funding has already supported two markets, a gym for young people and two community radiostations, so the options are quite wide ranging. The fundingitself derives from county council, district councils and LocalStrategic Partnership contributions, with the overall fundadministered by Suffolk County Council.

Suffolk ACRE, has been engaged by Suffolk County Council toidentify possible projects for support and to help applicantsthrough the application process. One of the key requirementsof projects is that the business or new initiative should haveclear potential to be self-sustaining, and support is availableto help applicants explore trading possibilities, assist with

pricing and financial projections and so on. There should alsobe some clear evidence of the need for the service, perhapsfollowing a Parish Plan or other form of local consultation.

Projects supported can expect to receive an average of£5,000 to assist with their plans, and Suffolk ACRE can ofcourse assist with identifying other possible sources of funds -the Enterprising Communities fund will only contribute up to50% of total project costs. However, support can be by way ofcapital or revenue, or a combination of the two. Projects willneed to be able to show that they can be fully operative nolater than 31 October 2010 in order to qualify for this round offunding.

For further information or to discuss your project please contact Barry Henson at Suffolk ACRE on either 01473 345332or [email protected]

Want to add fun to fitness?Frank's your man!

After six years in the fitness profession, Frankbecame increasingly aware of the variousconcerns people had about starting anexercise routine and achieving their fitnessgoals.

"I found that most gyms and health clubswere more concerned with membershipnumbers and sales rather than taking careof the clients and helping them get results,"says frank. "What's more, those gyms whichdo offer personal training often charge extrafor it, on top of the already expensive gymfees."

First-rate personal training service

With all this in mind, Frank has created a first-rate personaltraining service, one where the client receives top-notch, professional guidance from a man who really puts the personal into personal trainer! And so FB Fitness was born.

Frank's words: "I create a fun, relaxed but most importantlyprofessional environment for my clients - something whichmany of the big gyms would be hard-pressed to match." What you won't find is all the usual paraphernalia associated

with run-of-the-millgyms and trainingcentres - instead, FBFitness focuses on yourather than the equipment.

Most FB Fitness sessionswill involve the use ofbody-weight exercises, dumbbells, BOSU balls, Swiss balls andoutdoor exercise, adding variety to each training session.Frank prides himself on delivering personal training of thehighest quality and effectiveness.

Before you start your training, Frank ensures that you'll alwaysgo through a "Pre-exercise assessment." Frank says that "Myclients know that unless I'm assessing then I'm guessing!" Every new client receives a blood-pressure check, as well astests for body-fat and heart-rate. In addition, they will alsoget nutrition and lifestyle analysis/ advice throughout theirtraining period.

Frank - "If you're ready for change, I would love to work withyou and help you achieve your fitness goals."

Your Gardenby Ken Crowther

This spring is late, in fact about four weeks late at least, but withmild spells expected plants and weeds are ready to burst intonew leaf and growth. You soon should be able to see small Irisburst into blue, purple and mauve jewels, and Forsythia bushesclothed in their familiar, but nonetheless exciting, bright yellowflowers. You will also notice that weeds are popping up to coverany bare soil. Instead of hand weeding you can kill off theseweeds with a quick spray of a weedkiller like Weedol, betweenflowers and shrubs and along the edges of the patio. On awarm sunny day you will see visible results in just a couple ofhours.

Feeding is first priority as flowering shrubs, perennials and climbersstart to throw out new stems and leaves. They need to draw ona reserve of balanced nutrients to produce strong healthy growthand plenty of flowering potential. Number one choice for flowering plants is a balanced feed that has been developed forflowers or Roses.

I will be completing my pruning of bush Roses with a sharp pair

of secateurs. Take outany old or deadbranches and cut backthe remaining stems byat least a half of theirlength. Collect up allfallen leaves under thebushes, especially ifthese are marked withbrown raggedy spots,showing that roseblackspot has been affecting last year's growth. Don't put thesediseased leaves on the compost heap but dispose of them atyour local recycling plant. To protect the new foliage from thesame disease it is important to spray your plants early in the yearas the leaves unfurl, and repeat this a couple of weeks later.

These early sprays are vital to control existing spores that overwinter on the stems. Use up any stock you have in the garden shed of rose treatments such as RoseClear 3, or buysome fresh to use this spring. If you have been using Dithane945 this will be unavailable from May this year, but can be usedfor a year. Great treatment for Blackspot and lots of ailments on

fruit and vegetables, it will be sadly missedby many gardeneners.

Last, but not least, if you have a gardening problem Ken is here to help.Just e-mail the Flyer and I will respond assoon as possible

Research online,but get one to one

legal adviceThe Internet has become the first port ofcall for research, whether you are lookingfor a family holiday, investigating an ailment or even finding out about gettingdivorced. Yes the Internet now offers awealth of ideas and legal solutions on thisissue.

This may well suit certain straightforwarddivorces. However, when it comes to

support, advice and guidance, the internet process is sterile,sometimes misleading and may not provide you with thenecessary legal expertise needed to see you through thisfraught, stressful and emotionally painful process.

The benefit of speaking with an experienced divorce lawyer isthat they have the advantage of acting in your best interestsand looking out for your specific needs as well as providingyou with vital legal support throughout.

Your divorce lawyers should consider quite carefully with youwhether the basis of the divorce can be agreed between youand your spouse and whether there is the potential for anegotiated settlement either through mediation or collaboration. Both methods offer the opportunity of trying toresolve issues without going through the Court system. It canprove to be a less expensive and a quicker process thanarguing matters before the Court.

If it is not possible to resolve these issues then the difficult andexpensive process of bringing the dispute before the Courthas to be considered. An application to the Divorce Courts isnot one for the fainthearted. The process of obtaining a decision from the Divorce Courts relating to your children, yourfinances and your property matters can become a moreunderstandable and less arduous process with good soundlegal support.

Corn Exchange To Let! The Bury Flyer April 2010

Corn ExchangeAbbeygate Street, Bury St Edmunds

In 2010 St Edmundsbury Borough Council will be opening itsnew Apex public venue, within the arc development in Bury StEdmunds. The Apex is designed by the internationallyrenowned Hopkins Architects and will make an outstandingcontribution to the cultural life of the borough and surround-ing areas. It will seat 500 for formal performances andaccommodate over 700 people standing, as well as offeringa completely flexible space for conference and communityuse.

At that time, theCorn Exchange inBury St Edmundswill no longer berequired as a public hall and thecouncil has therefore decidedto seek a new tenant for thisimportant historicbuilding. The lease is being marketed commercially, to rele-vant local organisations and also through press advert. A for-mal prospectus is available.

No decisions have been reached on the nature of the newuse for the building, although the council must obviously bearin mind its duty to achieve best value for the local taxpayer.The council will therefore consider community managementas well as commercial uses and operators. Accordingly offersare invited on either, or both, of the following bases:

Traffic problem St Olave's WardThis month Councillor Bob Cockle talks about

traffic problems in St Olave's Ward

As you may be aware, St Edmundsbury Borough Council hasat the moment and in principle agreed to carry out a surveyon car parking in St Olave's ward and Mildenhall estate. Whenboth estates were planned nobody thought that in futureyears residents would have to rely on the private car. Now inmany cases there is more than one vehicle per household.

There is no doubt that this is getting more serious. More andmore vehicles are parking on the grass verges. This is causingdamage and is unsightly for many of the roads. But what areresidents to do? In some cases if they park outside their prop-erty, this will block the road. There are areas where there arecar parking places at the back of houses, but these are unlitand some residents are afraid to use them.

Roads such as Northumberland Avenue, and St Olave's Road,become very heavy with parked traffic. St Olave's Rd is verybad when there is a football match. Both are prime busroutes. There are people who park at bus stops, mainlybecause the road is not marked with the relevant sign. At onetime this was a traffic offence; so was parking after dark fac-ing the wrong way.

Should we have more double yellow lines? Should we haveparking on one side of the road only? Should we build moregarages? Should we have more dropped kerbs? As you canappreciate any of these would cost money, both to installand to police.

As one of St Olave's ward members, I drive around this areaquite regularly and I have to say that perhaps nothing canbe done. The sensitivity of most drivers is very apparent; theydo seem to appreciate that buses, ambulances and otherheavy vehicles must use the roads. Let us hope that the sur-vey throws up some solutions.
