LED Community Leisure is delighted to welcome its members and the wider community back to its sites for outdoor group exercises across East Devon.
These classes are a small but important step in the roadmap to reopening LED sites and continuing to support the health and wellbeing of East Devon residents.
A spokesman said: “All classes operate within Covid secure guidelines as outlined by industry body UK Active. This included social distancing, hand sanitisation and anti-viral spray available to all members too.”
Meanwhile, East Devon Sports Therapy has been able to operate throughout the pandemic with its pain-relief and mobility services.
It was formed in 2010, with the Seaton practice opening in 2012.
A spokesman said: “Over the years we have seen a huge variety in clientele, from Olympic athletes with soft tissue damage to elderly patients with arthritic joints.
“Our treatments and expertise have become well known across the South West , ith our patients traveling up to 200 miles for our specialist services.
“We were the first practice in the South West to provide the same Photobiomodulation LASER therapy as elite sports clubs. Following this we became the first private practice in the South West to offer the Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill for rehabilitation and pain free exercise, this can accelerate knee and hip replacement recovery by up to three times.
“This year we have been able to remain open throughout the pandemic, due to our profession being deemed essential for pain relief and helping to aid mobility, so decided now was the time to push the boundaries again.
“Elite athletes receive the best treatments available to get them back to sport quicker, we now offer this to everyone. Most recently the NovoThor was bought to the new, bigger and better Axminster site! This £120,000 investment in a medical device has already made ‘life changing’ benefits to people. From the swelling of legs being reduced, to back pain being diminished. Increased mobility, to being able to sleep better. The treatment is not new to us, as our handheld systems have the same effect, however the technology to apply this over the entire body is completely new. This system is one of only five available to the public in the UK, currently the only one outside of London.”
