“Start Now, Finish Strong!” – Brighton Triathlete’s Revolutionary Injury Prevention Initiative

0

“Start Now, Finish Strong!” is the latest offering from PhysioFit Physio and Pilates Studio, designed by founder Alexandra Johnson. This innovative program caters to runners over 40 dealing with injuries, focusing on a personalised path to pain-free running and injury recovery.

Johnson, a triathlete with over 15 years in the physiotherapy field, holds a 2:1 BSc in Physiotherapy from St George’s Medical University. Her career encompasses over a decade in the NHS and six years in private practice specialising in sports injuries.

Battling Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome, Johnson has defied odds by participating in some of the world’s most demanding endurance events, including the Sahara’s Marathon des Sables, the 70.3 Ironman World Championships, and marathons in New York and London. Her condition, which severely affects her leg, poses challenges such as intense pain and muscle weakness, necessitating a medical compression stocking for extended walking.

Following a life-altering cycling accident in January 2017, Johnson, dissatisfied with conventional physiotherapy, embarked on a quest to develop effective techniques for pain-free running, benefiting herself and others in similar situations.

The “Start Now, Finish Strong!” program diverges from generic methods, offering a customised approach for individuals over 40. This eight-week online course covers all aspects of fitness, including mental and physical health, rehabilitation, joint mobility, nutrition, and targeted exercises to prevent common running injuries. A notable success story from the program is Stephen Taylor, who moved from near-retirement due to Achilles problems to pain-free running in a mere eight weeks.

Johnson’s commitment to reaching a broader audience is evident in her significant investment in business coaching and mentorship, enhancing her ability to support fellow runners over 40.

In her own words, Alexandra Johnson says: “I passionately believe that being over 40 does not equate to giving up on running or enduring pain. With the right approach, understanding, and techniques, individuals can not only resume running but do so better and stronger, embracing a new lease on life.”

Interested parties can enrol in “Start Now, Finish Strong!” or learn more about personalised support at (www.physiofitgbonline.com) or via [email protected].

Dr. Basat Forecasts Türkiye’s Continued Pre-eminence in Aesthetic Surgeries for 2024

Türkiye’s medical tourism sector is experiencing a notable boom, largely driven by the increasing demand for aesthetic procedures such as Mommy Makeover, Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and breast aesthetics. Illustrious plastic surgeon Dr. Salih Onur Basat observes this upward trend in these extensive surgeries, predicting an even greater demand in 2024.

The health tourism industry in Türkiye is achieving significant landmarks. The EY (Ernst & Young) 2023 Tourism Sector Assessment, released in November, indicates a continuing surge in interest in Türkiye’s health tourism, with almost 750 thousand individuals visiting for health services in the first half of 2023.

Dr. Salih Onur Basat, a distinguished plastic surgeon in Türkiye, discusses the factors behind Türkiye’s growing acclaim in aesthetic surgeries. “I anticipate that the increasing demand for Brazilian butt lift (BBL), tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and breast aesthetic surgeries in Turkey will persist into 2024.”

Türkiye rapidly emerging as a top international choice for elective surgery

Dr. Basat remarks, “Türkiye has become a global destination for high-quality, affordable elective, reconstructive surgery, thanks to its state-of-the-art facilities and the expertise of our medical professionals.” He highlights the outstanding quality of Türkiye’s health infrastructure and its focus on elevating standards with talented medical personnel.

An encompassing strategy for post-pregnancy body refinement

The Mommy Makeover, involving breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction, is extremely popular among international clients. Dr. Basat emphasises its tailored approach, particularly addressing the specific changes women face after childbirth. He stresses the importance of adequate rest and following post-surgery recommendations for successful healing. Türkiye’s cosmetic surgery spectrum extends beyond the Mommy Makeover, with Dr. Basat noting the growing popularity of breast aesthetics, BBL, liposuction, tummy tuck, and rhinoplasty.

International patients seeking a complete medical experience in Türkiye: opt for accredited clinics

“To achieve desired results, it’s crucial to select a specialised surgeon and have realistic post-operative expectations,” Dr. Basat suggests to those planning on undergoing surgery in Türkiye. The health tourism sector in Türkiye, aiming for a US$ 20 billion target, is powered by its robust health infrastructure and the expertise of its medical staff.

As Türkiye continues to excel in health tourism, offering state-of-the-art cosmetic and medical procedures, it stands as a preferred destination for international patients in search of quality, affordability, and medical expertise.

FD Capital Analyses Bank of England’s ‘Higher for Longer’ Inflation Strategy, Issues Critique

0

FD Capital, a leading agency in the field of financial recruitment, has issued an analysis critical of the Bank of England’s extended ‘higher for longer’ inflation strategy. This analysis states that the Bank’s approach to inflation has been “too high, too late, and now for too long,” advocating for a cut in interest rates in the first part of 2024.

In its research, FD Capital forecasts that the 12-month rate of CPI inflation will decline to 3.1% by March 2024. The report also predicts a short-term increase in the 6-month CPI rate at the start of 2024, which is expected to stabilise at around 2%.

The agency’s findings challenge the Bank of England’s inflation control strategy, suggesting that the Bank’s response in raising interest rates was sluggish. The report contends that interest rates should have reached their peak in the summer of 2022, a whole year earlier than they did. An earlier imposition of higher inflation could have curbed inflation without necessitating such drastic rate increases.

At present, the peak interest rate is an oppressive 5.25%, yet the analysis argues that it could have peaked at a lower 3.25% had the Bank of England acted sooner. This review implies that the Bank’s ‘higher for longer’ strategy might have ended in the summer of 2023, potentially avoiding a recession.

Unexpectedly, the UK’s inflation in November recorded a substantial drop, falling to 3.9% from October’s 4.6%, primarily due to lower petrol prices. This leaves the UK economy in a precarious state, on the brink of either a deep recession in 2024 or narrowly averting it. FD Capital posits that more timely action from the Bank of England could have circumvented these economic hardships.

The report also criticises the UK government’s COVID-19 support strategies, like business loans and the furlough programme, for contributing significantly to the inflation spike, overshadowing the effects of quantitative easing or tightening.

With market experts and commentators now considering an interest rate reduction by May and a 50/50 chance of a cut in March, FD Capital’s analysis suggests that the full impact of the Bank of England’s “too high, too late, and now for too long” inflation strategy will be felt in another 9 to 12 months.
