Nottingham Wildlife Trust, it is the county's leading conservation charity run by local people for the benefit of local wildlife and will be joining us at the event. They will share with you and your children the joys of nature and the wonders of our local wildlife.
Acupuncturists: Anne Etherton and Sarah Gunn will also be joining us and ready to answer any questions you may have about the wonders of Chinese acupuncture.
We would like to give a warm welcome to Anne Etherton and Sarah Gunn Acupuncturists who will be moving their Wednesday and Thursday practices respectively to the clinic from 2nd May 2018.
Both are trained in acupuncture but Anne also does Chinese herbal medicine.
Anne is at Beeston on Wednesday and Sarah on Thursday afternoon.
Anne says "Chinese medicine is a medicine in its own right so although we are only given credit for pain control we also can treat most other ailments."
Acupuncture is effective in the treatment of a wide range of conditions due to the fact that it can stimulate the body’s own healing process.
It can be used as a preventative measure when you feel generally ‘run down’ and also when you ‘feel unwell’, but you do not necessarily present with any symptoms – you just know you don’t feel ‘right’.
The aim of the treatment is not just to relieve symptoms, but also to improve overall wellbeing. Many patients notice not only changes to the condition they sought help with, but also improvements to their energy, confidence and quality of life.
For more information come and talk to them at our open morning on Saturday 28th April 2018 or visit their web site:

Midlanders advised to keep moving to halt rise in back pain
New research finds increasing numbers of people suffering from back and neck pain
New research released to mark Chiropractic Awareness Week (9 – 15 April), has found that two fifths (41%) of people in the Midlands are currently experiencing back or neck pain, a 12% increase on 2017.
The research, which was carried out by the British Chiropractic Association, found that for sufferers in the Midlands, the top triggers for this pain were;
Notably, incidences of neck and back pain among younger people are also on the rise, with 40% of people in the Midlands experiencing neck or back pain by age 20.
Alex Newton comments on these findings:
“The BCA’s research findings align with what we see in our clinic on a day to day basis, however it’s particularly interesting that lifting and carrying was the most cited trigger for neck and back pain. It really highlights the importance of maintaining a strong and active body that can move well and cope with the demands you are making of it.
“For those who are finding that sedentary lifestyles and sitting for long periods are causing them a problem, we would encourage they make a change. We are designed to move and if you hold your body in any position for an extended period of time, it is likely that you will feel pain.
“To help counteract the effects of a sedentary lifestyle, and help prevent back and neck pain occurring, there are a number of simple exercises and small changes you can incorporate into your daily routine. For example, shrugging and circling your shoulders whilst sitting and taking the stairs are easy ways to improve your back health - these may sound simple but I know from my patients that they really work!”
Alex’s top tips to help local residents to prevent and manage neck and back pain are:

Hydrotherapy is the use of exercise in a heated pool to treat a variety of conditions. At David Ross Sports Village the state-of-the-art Hydropool is heated to between 33 and 38˚C, allowing your body to relax, encouraging pain relief, better circulation, and improved flexibility.
Used by some of the top athletes in the country, hydrotherapy support the recovery process following training and competitive fixtures. The brand new facilities are ideal for athletes and performance sports teams to meet the demands of modern sport.
Aside from sports rehab and recovery, studies also show that hydrotherapy benefits patients rehabilitating from strokes, traumas, and other injuries as well as connective tissue diseases and asthma.
