CARDIFF AND VALE
Vale Healthcare expands Cardiff Bay Clinic
Vale Healthcare Ltd, the joint venture that combines the strengths of a national not-forprofit healthcare operator, Nuffield Health, with the commitment of prominent consultants in the area – has expanded its offering at its superb new clinic facility with the addition of two new clinics within six months of its Cardiff Bay Clinic launch.
The twelve existing clinics encompass the full medical spectrum including cardiology, ophthalmology, urology, dermatology and orthopaedics, whilst the two new clinics cover cosmetics and sports medicine.
Cosmetics Clinic
The cosmetics clinic provides a wide range of procedures from plastic surgery and non-invasive breast augmentation – using the latest Macrolane technique – to botox. The clinic, which will be led by specialist surgeons – will also offer noninvasive body shaping techniques for men including chest and calves.
Sports Medicine Clinic
The Consultants at the Cardiff Bay Clinic have an established track record working with Welsh and international sports stars and, as a result, they have exceptional knowledge in the area of sports medicine that can be transferred to all patients. This has led to the establishment of the specialist sports medicine clinic, where the sports physicians and surgeons assess and diagnose all sporting injuries, and work closely with the rehabilitation team to provide physiotherapy rehabilitation, osteopathy treatment and dietary biomechanical assessment.

In addition, the Cardiff Bay Clinic provides a rapid access breast care clinic led by three specialist breast consultants, working closely with breast radiologists. They utilise leading MRI technology, alongside traditional methods of mammography and ultrasound, to diagnose and treat patients as quickly and effectively as possible. The Cardiff Bay Clinic is the only clinic in south Wales to offer a breast MRI service.
Vale Healthcare combines the best consultants with the latest medical technology to offer rapid access services for a wide range of conditions, all within a modern environment, and provide the people of south Wales a wider choice and exceptional, expert care.

PENARTH
Getting in shape is as easy as ABC
With summer approaching, our thoughts naturally turn to holidays and that all important swimsuit... THE HORROR!

Somehow that over-indulgent Christmas has left us with half a stone or more of uninvited body mass. For some, a simple diet of air and water usually does the trick. However, we’re not all that lucky. For the rest of us more drastic action is required which means regular trips to a gym.
If you’re fortunate enough to live near Penarth, then you could enlist the services of personal trainer, Neil Munn. Neil runs Penarth ABC from St. Paul’s Church, so if you’re looking for a trainer that delivers results, then Neil is your man.
At this point, I feel it is appropriate to warn you that Neil doesn’t suffer fools, so be prepared for a little blood, lots of sweat and, in my experience, a few tears. The road to perfection is not easily travelled, but of all the gyms I have been to over the years, this one certainly delivers.

PORTHCAWL
At the Peak of good health
New Chiropractic Clinic strives to get your body working at its best.
At Peak Chiropractic clinic, opening at the beginning of March in Porthcawl, the focus is on making regular treatment an affordable lifestyle choice, as much a part of your routine as exercise and healthy eating should be. Dr Rhys Breckon DC, 29, has a refreshing approach to Chiropractic treatment, drawing on his experience of observing wellness-based clinics in Australia, and working at a top clinic on Harley Street, London.
Maintaining a healthy nervous system is fundamental to a well functioning body, yet it is an area of healthcare sorely neglected by general medicine. It can make an enormous difference to both physical and mental performance, injury rehabilitation and disease prevention, in people of all ages.
It is a common misconception that you simply go to a Chiropractor if you have a bad back, but few realise it can significantly help with ailments ranging from headaches to period pain, asthma and bedwetting in children, and even maintaining the body’s alignment during pregnancy.
At Peak Chiropractic, a free advisory consultation is available to all patients, worth £25. If further treatment is recommended, Dr Breckon will work with you to put together an affordable treatment plan specific to your needs and lifestyle.
With flexible opening hours including early morning and weekend appointments, and ample parking right outside, the clinic is a great place to start getting your body working at its best.
