How's your balance?
What's your falls-risk?

Take action now with a comprehensive physical MOT with Maintain Independence Ltd

πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ YOU SERVICE YOUR CAR… BUT WHEN DID YOU LAST GIVE YOURSELF AN MOT?

We often don’t think about our strength, balance or mobility until something starts to go wrong.

But losing independence rarely happens overnight. For many people, it’s a gradual process. Small changes in strength, confidence, balance and mobility can go unnoticed for months or even years.

What if you could identify those changes early and do something about them now?

At Maintain Independence, we offer a comprehensive clinical assessment designed to give you a clear picture of your current physical health, mobility and functional independence.

πŸ”Ž WHAT DO WE ASSESS?

βœ… Blood pressure, oxygen saturation and resting heart rate

βœ… Grip strength – an important indicator of overall muscle strength and physical function

βœ… Lower and upper body strength

βœ… Balance, stability and coordination

βœ… Walking patterns, gait and mobility

βœ… Posture and movement

βœ… Reaction times and responses

βœ… Falls risk and confidence with everyday activities

βœ… Your overall functional ability and Independence Score

πŸ“‹ WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOUR ASSESSMENT?

You’ll receive a personalised report highlighting your results, identifying areas of strength and any potential concerns, alongside practical recommendations to help you maintain or improve your independence.

πŸ’‘ WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

You don’t have to be struggling with your mobility to benefit from an Independence MOT.

You might be active, walking regularly and managing perfectly well. But perhaps your balance isn’t quite what it used to be, your strength has gradually reduced, or you’re becoming a little less confident with certain movements.

These are the things we want to identify before they become bigger problems.

Sometimes, small changes to your exercise routine, strength or balance training can make a meaningful difference to your long-term mobility and quality of life.

Our aim isn’t just to help people regain their independence. It’s to help them keep it for as long as possible.

🌿 Move Well. Live Well. Stay Independent.

NEW monthly meetup for volunteers..

The Peacock, Tues 30 June 4-6pm

The Buddies team leaders will be hanging out together on the last Tuesday of each month and we welcome you to pop in and say hello.

This invite goes out to all current volunteers and anyone interested in becoming a Buddy - no pressure, just drop in and meet for an informal catch up and chat.

For current Buddies we hope this becomes a way to keep in touch with each other on a more regular basis.

Just let us know you are coming by selecting one of the options on this event page https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/vxj9xhz

JUST ONE HOUR!

That's all it takes to make a HUGE difference to a local person's life.

We started on day one of lockdown as a little idea to help our neighbours. We didn't have a name but within a fortnight we had over 40 volunteers.

At the height of lockdown we had 120 volunteers.

Six years later, at least half of our current 44 volunteers from the early days are still with us and we are unbelievably grateful for their dedication and commitment to making a difference to local lonely or socially isolated people.

BUT lockdown may be in the distant past but sadly the need for our helping hands team is needed more than ever!

Just 30-90 mins a week or a fortnight can make a real difference to someone struggling in Nantwich.

Please get in touch if you would like to find out more about becoming a Buddy.

01270 440 750 ask for Anne.

Our usual Wednesday morning Coffee & Company Group (Nantwich Civic Hall) swapped venues this week and found their sea legs along the canal in Audlem! A jolly old time was had by all despite the weather, followed by afternoon tea!

Thanks to Overwater Marina, Audlem, Overwater Wheelyboat Services and of course the Buddies Civic C& C team for organising the event!
