Our Murder Mystery night is SOLD OUT! Tickets went very quickly for this one, but we'll be sure to organise another one and will let everyone know as soon as tickets go on sale!  ACE7 had a very festive lunch today at Parklands followed by a Christmas quiz! Blackbury Lane pre-school children visited the Wellbeing Club - their singing was beautiful and it melted the heart!  Let me introduce myself: My name is Sylvie Hamilton.
I graduated from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine with a Masters in Osteopathy and a diploma in Naturopathy. This extensive training enables me to not only look at a patient’s musculoskeletal health but also assess lifestyle and external factors that could slow down or impinge recovery. I treat a wide range of people from newborns to the elderly, including pregnant ladies and athletes in a friendly and approachable manner. I am wholly committed to the highest standards of patient care; your wellbeing really matters to me. From my experience working with people suffering from several degenerative diseases, dementia and having volunteered at the Peace Hospice in Watford, I really believe that osteopathy can help the elderly live a better and more comfortable life. Pregnancy can be challenging and being a new mum can also be a difficult time if you have had a difficult labour or if your baby doesn’t settle. Having undergone postgraduate training for the treatment of pregnant and post-partum women as well as newborns and children, I am able to provide support and treatment for these stages of life. I am also qualified to treat animals so if your dog has been injured, needs maintenance treatment, some TLC as they are getting old or preparation for competition, contact me, I can help. Each patient (human or animal) is unique and is treated as such. I will always take the time to explain findings, treatment, recovery plan and consider the possible mind and body link to your pain presentation. My treatments are preceded by a thorough biomechanical assessment and include structural osteopathy (massage, mobilisation, manipulation), cranial, visceral osteopathy, Kinesio tape and medical acupuncture where appropriate. I also have an Omega low level laser therapy machine, which helps speed healing and is particularly good with tendon, ligament injuries and scar tissues. I am a trained Pilates instructor and can help patients improve their posture, get stronger and more mobile. Prevention being better than cure, you don’t need to be in pain to benefit from osteopathic treatment. I am registered with the General Osteopathic Council and the Institute of Osteopathy. I am fully insured. For more information on treatments and therapists, click here. T : 01983 243183 E : [email protected] Your feedback matters! Please take a moment to read the below from the Isle of Wight Council Website:
Isle of Wight health and social care system leaders launched the Isle of Wight Dementia Strategy in May 2022, setting out a joint vision for improving dementia services and making the Island a place where people with a dementia can live safe and fulfilling lives. Together with our voluntary sector partners, the Isle of Wight Council and the Island's NHS have worked hard over the past three years to raise the quality of dementia services and improve knowledge and awareness of dementia across the Island. We are now starting work to refresh the Dementia Strategy, looking at what has already been achieved and where our continued efforts are needed to continue to drive improvements in dementia care and support for local people. To do this we need your help. We need you to tell us about your experience of dementia services to understand what has worked well and what can be done better. We believe that your views and experiences are crucial in shaping a strategy that truly meets the needs of those affected by a dementia. CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY Paper copies of the survey will soon be available in local libraries, through Age UK IW, Alzheimer Café IW, Carers IW or can be collected from County Hall in Newport. If you need help completing the questionnaire you can also visit the Dementia Cafe at Parklands in Cowes where help is available. In addition to the questionnaire, we will be hosting four in-person events across the Island to facilitate open discussions and gather direct feedback. These events will provide an opportunity for attendees to engage with our team, share their stories, and contribute to the future direction of our Dementia Strategy. Event Details:
