The Reach for Health Centre

Reach for Health Centres | 191 followers on LinkedIn. Health rehabilitation, improved physical and mental health/wellbeing since 1994. | The Reach for Health Centre community health solution has been evolving in Northamptonshire since 1994, working with and alongside the NHS and specialist health providers, to offer a leading-edge portfolio of services in one place.

The health impact is now well proven, and a scalable centre-of-excellence model has been established which makes a significant impact upon family lives, demand for NHS services and costs, GP services and referrals, etc.  

As a charity which is now financially self-sufficient, the intention is to expand this centre model into Northamptonshire and beyond, replicating this many times over within chosen geographic areas – creating clusters of centres which deliver a community health impact whilst being financially self-sufficient.

Today is World COPD Day! 🫁 Many of our members live with COPD and our team recognises the impact this can have on individuals and those around them. At The Reach for Health Centre, we hold a Pulmonary Class which specialises in lung and breathing related conditions and we’re so pleased with the progress of those attending already. An external practitioner, Elaine, runs a COPD class out of our Multi-Function Room, specialising solely in COPD. If you have any questions or would like to join either classes, feel free to speak to a member of our team or call us on 01327 871118 #copd #thereachforhealthcentre #worldcopdday #lungs #pulmonary #lungconditions

Enjoy a more in depth video of Chris’ session with Owen. Chris has been diagnosed with Ataxia therefore Owen focused on balance, reaction time, core stability and spending time on Chris’ feet to build her confidence when walking. Listen as Owen guides Chris through the session and explains why they’re doing these activities and how they’ll benefit her. Well done Chris, we’re all so proud of the progress you have made so far! #rehabilitation #daventry #ataxia #northamptonshire #thereachforhealthcentre

Whilst exercise rehabilitation can be monotonous at times, our team are always thinking of new and fun ideas to keep our one-to-one sessions more engaging and enjoyable! Here you can see Sophie incorporating a fun game into Chris’ session, blindly choosing between two exercise options as they progress through the session. The exercises in this session were focused on building Chris’ strength, functional mobility and reaction time, but presented in a more engaging way. Good job Chris! #exerciserehabilitation #rehabilitationmadefun #engaging #thereachforhealthcentre

The Reach for Health Centre has a strong partnership with The University of Northampton students from the MSc Physiotherapy and BSc Sport Rehabilitation and Conditioning courses often come to us for a work placement. Here they shadow our team and learn more about our practise to widen their knowledge and improve as individual practitioners. Once they’re comfortable, they begin to lead sessions with our members. In this video, you can see Zoe, a student from the BSc Sport Rehabilitation and Conditioning course working with Mary, one of our members. Mary lives with Osteoporosis in her lumbar spine, with slight Scoliosis. Here you can see Zoe guiding Mary through the different ranges of motion of the lumbar spine to keep it mobile and flexible. After, they’re working on Mary’s leg strength and reaction time with our leg press and Blaze Pods ( BlazePod (UK and Ireland) to assist in Mary’s healthy ageing and prevention of falls. Thank you Mary and all of our other members who work with our students, you all provide such valuable experience for future Physiotherapists! Finally, well done Zoe, your work with Mary and our members is fantastic! #universityofnorthampton #blazepods #uon #sportsrehab
