There are a large number of muscoloskeletal (MSK) health conditions that patients present to their doctors with. Many of them respond to self care interventions. On April 26th, two senior Specialist Physiotherapists from Berkshire Health Foundation Trust, Kate Watson and Claire Gibson from Berkshire Health Foundation Trust (BHFT) will be talking about Low Back Pain and Sciatica. I will then do a a more general evaluation of MSK conditions of the upper and lower extremities (arms / hands / legs / feet) and spine. We will explain what you can do to improve your condition and when to see a professional. Due to the vastness of this area we can only cover a smaller number of common conditions, but are happy to answer questions about rarer conditions.

Where: Sandhurst Community Hall, Memorial Park, GU479JB

When: April 26th at 6:45. See leaflet below for more information

COPD is a condition where patients suffer of Shortness of Breath. It starts as early as in the mid-40ies with patients feel out of breath after climbing stairs. 90% of patients with COPD are smoking or have a smoking history.

COPD is a condition which results in multiple chest infections, wheeziness, chest tightness, coughing. In extreme cases patients cannot lie down to sleep and need Oxygen. However, amazing improvements can be achieved at ANY stage of the disease.
