A cuff repair patient recently asked whether he could try hyperbaric oxygen therapy post op. There is some evidence to suggest marginal benefits in healing rates. Their use is popular in elite sports players. As it sounded interesting I visited the unit
Based in Heysham info@abreathforlife runs as a charity a hyperbaric chamber offering addition oxygen therapy to many patients treating MSK, neurological conditions and patients recovering from cancer therapy. Their results can be very impressive. Itβs scientifically interesting
This is wild....

Introducing The Birkdale Ballot.
A new initiative created to give UK-based golfers the chance to experience our championship links in an Open year, for under Β£100.
To register for the ballot, click here: bit.ly/401KSXk
Were able to welcome @PaulFosterMP and Chorley Mayor and Mayoress Alistair and Jane Morwood @ChorleyCouncil to @EuxtonHallHosp today opening the new hospital facilities and discussing health provision in Chorley and South Ribble and exchanging views on challenges and solutions
A new strategy @RLGCHoylake to speed up slow play. Maybe we should try this @royalbirkdale But not during open week, the medical centre is busy enough @TheOpen (in reality an unexploded WW2 bomb discovered)
Get down to the freshers fayre @cardiffuni@CardiffUniSport and have a chat with the fencing captains. @Welsh_Fencing@CUFencing itβs a great sport and if you are a beginner they will consider it a privilege to teach you
Congratulations to our Past Captain, His Honour Judge Dennis Watson KC, who today drives-in at The Old Course as the incoming Captain of The Royal and Ancient.
We are delighted for Dennis and the worthy recognition of his service to the game.

James doing some summer fitness training up to summit of scafell pike @CardiffUniSport . At least with mountains wales will always be higher than england @Welsh_Fencing
Congratulations to @TommyFleetwood1 an @Scarisbrickhall school old boy today winning his first of many PGA competitions. He has played so well over the last few weeks.
golf travellers, with Ryanair having increased golf baggage fees even higher this offer below from @clubs2hire seems like a no brainer, Β£10 off an already good price, no hassle, clubs delivered to your hotel, top end irons to try, your own clubs will never know, highly recommend
The claret jug has gone to a worthy winner. Itβs going to be a great @TheOpen next year at my own club @royalbirkdale and all the competitors are going to be amazed at the changes the club have made to the course over the last 3 years
