A POPULAR community coffee morning in Salisbury is set to gain a new health twist with the launch of Physio Friday.

Salisbury & South Wilts Sports Club on Wilton Road already hosts a weekly Friday coffee morning from 10am to 2pm, attracting residents for drinks, cake and light lunches while overlooking the club’s cricket grounds.

Now, the club is teaming up with Salisbury & South Wilts Physiotherapy to offer informal sessions where visitors can meet physiotherapists and ask questions about health and mobility.

The new Physio Friday initiative will take place on the fourth Friday of every month, with members of the physiotherapy team available between 11am and 1pm during the regular coffee morning.

Organisers say the idea is to create a relaxed space where people can chat with professionals, find out more about physiotherapy or simply enjoy a social morning.

The physiotherapy service, which is part of Harnham Physiotherapy, has a team of 12 therapists specialising in areas including musculoskeletal injuries, neurological rehabilitation, respiratory physiotherapy and specialist hand therapy.

Other services include acupuncture, workplace ergonomic assessments and rehabilitation for people recovering from strokes, spinal cord injuries or living with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

Visitors attending the sessions will not need to book in advance and can simply drop in during the morning.

The clubhouse, which has free parking and lift access, provides views across the cricket grounds and offers refreshments including tea, coffee, cake, soup and rolls.

Organisers say everyone is welcome – whether they want to meet the physio team, ask questions about injuries or just enjoy a relaxed coffee morning.

And they reassure visitors there is one thing they will not be asked to do – any exercises.

The first Physio Friday will be held on from March 27.
