B rejuvenated – natural food supplement is a tournament winners dream

All sporting enthusiasts, amateur or professional, will have an injury story to tell.

Previous back pain sufferer Golfer Carl Mason, winner of 25 titles including European Seniors Tour Order of Merit had to back out of a number of tournaments early in the 2011 season and constantly had the thought of not winning a tournament at the back of his mind.

Mason experienced a breakthrough following an appointment with his orthopaedic specialist and happily says “I have been taking B rejuvenated Pure Collagen Capsules for over 3 months now and the difference has been quite remarkable. Taking them religiously every day, I can now say that I have full mobility.”

Collagen, the body supporting protein, begins to deplete naturally from the age of 25. The intake of hydrolysed collagen - especially in the high bio-available form of B rejuvenated - has been found to restore collagen levels and thereby help repair ligaments, cartilage and bon as well as reduce joint pain.

Mason adds “For all of you club golfers and pros alike, who suffer little niggles or more serious discomfort during your game, I can thoroughly endorse B rejuvenated Pure Collagen Capsules as an adjunct to keeping supple and helping to repair your joints and muscle sprains you might get not just through playing as a result of war and tear over the years! Most importantly the collagen is pure and contains NO performance enhancing drugs that we might get tested for under tournament rules.”

Access Legal contributes to 'Aspire' charity

Access Legal, the consumer brand of national law firm Shoosmiths, has raised in excess of £30,000 for Aspire, a charity that provides practical support for individuals suffering spinal cord injuries. The charity is one of the firm's 2010 nominated charity partners.

Access Legal had originally pledged to raise £25,000 for Aspire, but exceeded its initial pledge by an £5,000. This donation will allow Aspire to pursue its mission to help people with spinal cord injuries live their life as well as they can.

The fundraising effort involved a variety of events, including challenges that the Access Legal staff underwent in exchange for sponsorship from friends, family and co-workers. Some staff members went sky diving to raise money for the cause, while others participated in a 10k fun run.

One of the most difficult challenges completed by Access Legal staff was a sponsored swim across the English Channel. Additionally, employees of Access Legal took part in a rugby game against the London Wheelchair Rugby team and some staff members underwent the 177-mile Offa's Dyke challenge.

The Aspire charity's mission ties in closely with the Access Legal brand, which provides personal injury claim services for people who have suffered spinal cord injuries. At the opening of Aspire's newest specialist home for those paralysed through spinal injury, members of Access Legal's staff were in attendance to show the support for the charity's cause. 

The staff members who attended the opening event for Aspire's Buckingham House included: catastrophic injuries expert Chris McKinney, mixed liability department head Sarah Lake, trainee solicitor Oliver Spicer and campaign assistant Georgia Baillieu.

Serious Law Explain The Difference Compensation Can Make Following A Personal Injury

Whilst not wanting to help push the so-called claims culture, That's Health brings you this information because we realise that some people have genuinely been injured and need help and support. Some of it financial. We bring this article to yuor attention on that basis:

If you have been injured as a result of an accident that was not your fault, you will be entitled to claim compensation, and for many taking part in personal injury claims the entire process can be a daunting one. This puts many people off making a claim, and being awarded what is rightfully theirs.

Your greatest asset in a personal injury case is having the right solicitor on your side. Serious Law have over 20 years experience in this area and can offer you the best help and advice during this difficult time.

A solicitor who specialises in your particular injury, for example brain injury claims or spinal injury claims, will also have contacts you may find useful, such as medical experts or charities dealing with such injuries.

If you’re unable to work due to your injury, you must submit evidence of any loss of wages. This will increase the compensation you receive in order to factor this in. Compensation can allow you to concentrate on recovery by alleviating the stress of money worries.

To make the first steps in your personal injury claim contact Serious Law now on 0800 61 66 81.

Back to Basic as Charity Fundraisers Open New Facility for People with Brain Injuries

A new facility to help people with serious brain injuries has opened in Salford thanks to the fundraising efforts of kindhearted staff at an Altrincham-based motorcycle insurance firm.

Marathon runs, cycle rides and even a trek across Arctic waste lands were among activities undertaken by employees of Carole Nash in aid of the Brain & Spinal Injuries Centre (BASIC). The £15,000 they raised covered the cost of a conservatory extension to the charity’s specialist BodyBASIC gym. This now houses three high tec machines which will help hundreds of brain injured people every year to recover their balance, gait, posture and ability to support their own weight.

The new facility was officially opened by Carole Nash’s chief executive, David Newman, who himself raised several thousand pounds undertaking a gruelling expedition to the North Pole. Fellow director Simon Jackson also made a major contribution by completing the Great North Run with a team of Carole Nash employees. Other activities which the company’s staff used to raise money included a Manchester to Blackpool cycle ride and a sponsored walk from Styal to popular bikers’ haunt, the Cat and Fiddle pub near Macclesfield.

BASIC fundraiser Andy Golightly said that the support of Carole Nash staff had been vital. “We’re incredibly grateful firstly that Carole Nash nominated BASIC as the company’s Charity of the Year and secondly that so many staff got involved and raised so much money. Without them and their efforts our 450 clients would have been denied access to an invaluable facility which will improve their health and wellbeing and lead to a better quality of life.”

The BodyBASIC gym is just one of over thirty services provided by BASIC which also includes counselling, complementary therapy, vocational guidance and practical advice. Over their 25-year history they have developed into a unique, innovative and diverse organisation and are professional experts at rebuilding lives following brain and spinal injury.

Opening the gym extension David Newman said: “I am immensely proud of the way Carole Nash as a whole got behind this major fundraising challenge. It fills me with such pride to now be stood here seeing how that money has been used and knowing that so many lives will be improved by this facility and the brilliant staff who operate it. This can only add to the already magnificent work that BASIC does and which my colleagues and I have previously witnessed first hand when visiting the centre.”

BASIC was founded by Bolton businessman Derek Gaskell after his wife returned home following life saving brain surgery at Hope Hospital, Salford. Initially she was unable to do anything for herself being incapable of walking or talking and suffering depression. Over many years she made a good recovery but affected by the experience Mr. Gaskell launched Neurosurgical Research (later named the Brain & Spinal Injuries Centre) in 1986.

Today it provides counselling, information and support services locally, regionally and nationally for patients and their families. Its achievements include funding life-saving technology for the Greater Manchester Clinical Neuroscience Centre and the UK’s first specialist subarachnoid haemorrhage nurse.

Brain injury. Help when you need it

The injustice of being robbed of the right to a basic standard of life that a brain injury can result in is something no financial gain can ever really put right. This is a statement that may ring true with many.

But whilst that is true, a successful brain injury claim could provide the foundation to making a recovery, providing assistance in funding therapy and private care.

Brain injuries are complex. This means the applicable criteria for a brain injury solicitor is much more specific than that of a solicitor dealing with a typical accident claim. A brain injury solicitor is crucial when making a brain injury claim.

But, the small number of serious injury law firms may not fill those looking to make a brain injury compensation claim with much confidence.

However, there are several factors that might make finding a brain injury solicitor a little easier, specifically focusing on the accreditations the firm holds.

In the case of finding a brain injury solicitor, the accreditation to be sought is that of Headway.

Headway are the brain injury association charity; any serious injury law firm accredited by Headway and other such brain injury charities are likely to have brain injury solicitors on their books. A good brain injury solicitor is always an asset to a brain injury compensation claim.
