TDR Academy's Treatments and 1:1s Available in Clinic
Following the Government announcements for therapists to return to work from 6th July 2020, Tanya has been very busy carrying out the risk assessment, undertaking the return to work COVID-19 course and preparing the clinic for re-starting. This has involved updating all our online platforms, website, Mindbody and social media etc to reflect the changes in the COVID-19 policies for return to work, and to ensure we are keeping everyone as safe as possible.
Following the Government announcements for therapists to return to work from 6th July 2020, Tanya has been very busy carrying out the risk assessment, undertaking the return to work COVID-19 course and preparing the clinic for re-starting. This has involved updating all our online platforms, website, Mindbody and social media etc to reflect the changes in the COVID-19 policies for return to work, and to ensure we are keeping everyone as safe as possible.
Appointments for these clinic sessions will now only be bookable through Tanya directly as initially those people that had to miss out on their booked session in March when everything was closed in lockdown, will be given priority to book in first. Tanya will also have to speak with you prior to booking to screen you for suitability of an in clinic appointment and will contact you the morning of the appointment to check that you are still able to attend based on your responses to a questionnaire re COVID-19.
At TDR Academy we are doing all we can to ensure your safety and our own. We will be applying all the safety precautions to ourselves that we are requesting you to apply to yourselves to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. When you book in, the email that will follow will outline everything that is applicable to attending the clinic for before, during and after your appointment.
When you get booked in, you can pre-purchase your booked session via the desktop version of Mindbody in the online store. This will reduce the contact points when you are in studio when payment is due. We prefer card payments via Mindbody, and if that isn’t possible a bank transfer could be made. Cash payment for the correct amount only will be accepted if card payment is not possible. An envelope will be provided for you to place the cash inside in this instance.
What we are doing:
On top of our normal clinic cleaning procedures, TDR Academy has introduced a number of additional hygiene measures to allow us to continue working within our community:
We have intensified our day-to-day cleaning.
We wipe banister rails, door handles, sanitising stations, light switches etc after each client leaves and before entry.
We now have paper towels and sterile hand wash - and our team are washing their hands more regularly.
We have introduced additional hand gel stations, which we ask students to use when they arrive and before they leave.
If our team have any symptoms, we will cancel any treatments or 1:1s as necessary.
We are taking everyone’s temperature when you attend. If you have an elevated temperature consistency with an illness or fever, we would unfortunately have to cancel your session, at no charge. We would suggest to follow the Government advice of self-isolating in this instance but monitor your symptoms and temperature daily and if persists to see or speak to your GP.
We will be wearing PPE in our sessions and these will be changed between every client.
We will maintain social distance for as long as possible and only treat areas deemed necessary in your session.
We are monitoring our procedures to see how we can improve on a daily basis.
We will email you with all the necessary details once your appointment is booked to ensure you are kept informed of our new practices.
Due to the new circumstances, I need you to complete a COVID-19 Pre Treatment record card to go alongside your record card that I have for you (existing clients) or need completed (new clients).
Please answer the questions the day before your appointment and text me that you have answered 'no' to each question, or if a 'yes' to any, I will need to speak to you the day before your appointment. If you feel that on the morning of your appointment that you may now answer 'yes' to any, please contact me to discuss suitability to attend. Further to this, I will ask you these questions again on entry to the clinic.
* First and foremost to check, for which I will send you a text the day before your appointment, is that you do not have any current symptoms of COVID-19 (see below) and that you have not knowingly been in contact with anyone that has COVID-19 or if you need to self-isolate. This also applies to the morning before your appointment. Please contact me as early as possible if you think you may be affected and need to self-isolate. There will be no charge for cancelling at this late stage as everyone’s safety if of the priority at present. I would ask for as much notice as possible however to ensure that the appointment could be taken by another client in need. Please note, if you are within any of the vulnerable person categories, you will not be able to receive an in person session without seeing your GP first for advice.
* If you have travelled home recently from a foreign country, please do not attend for a treatment until you have been home for 2 weeks to assess if you develop symptoms.
Coming to the Clinic:
We ask clients to wash your hands before and after visiting the clinic.
If you do feel unwell, we ask that you remain at home until feeling better.
If you display any of the COVID-19 symptoms, please do not visit our studio for at least 14 days.
Please wear a face covering when you enter the building and in the clinic.
Please remember to bring your own water bottle and drink regularly, and bring your own tissues.
Please bring your own gloves (for 1:1s for exercise) or your own towels (for a treatment - 2 large and 1 medium sized).
Please do not be attend with another individual for your appointment as they will not be permitted to enter.
Symptoms of COVID-19
The Most common symptoms which have been identified with the virus include:
Fever
Persistent dry cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Change (including loss) of taste and smell
Some sufferers have experienced others including:
Chest tightness
Muscle pain and fatigue
Sore throat
Congestion
Headache
Phlegm
Summary of Actions Needed:
Wash your hands before, during and after entry and do not touch your face
Wear PPE - face covering and if needed gloves
Catch It, Kill It, Bin It.
Maintain social distancing of 2m, or when necessary 1m+ when not required to be in close contact work with your therapist.
Stay at home if you have symptoms, are shielding, are or live with vulnerable people, have been in contact with someone that has COVID-19 or is self isolating, or if you have travelled abroad within the last 2 weeks.
We ask that all our clients and staff take the new health and safety very seriously, as one lapse could result in another spread of COVID-19, the ultimate disaster, which could in turn affect you, our staff, even close the whole clinic and as such have another lockdown on people’s lives, not to mention the possibility of much worse if it does affect your health.
We also ask for your patience at this time as we get used to the new working procedures - all above and beyond normal working practices!
We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops in line with advice from the Government and relevant health authorities and issue updates at such times.
Together we can all maintain a responsible and cautious approach to limiting the spread of this virus and protecting the more vulnerable members of our society whilst keeping a positive attitude.
Wishing you safety and good health through this time.

Are experiencing pain, any aches and niggles, pins and needles or numbness or any other nervey symptoms, or
Have injured yourself and need advice on what is best to do going forward to aid a speedier recovery.
In a typical treatment session the assessment and post treatment advice covers about half of a session normally and all the information and testing is hugely beneficial to start you on the road to healing.
The more self care of your own body management you take, the quicker you recover, within the confines of specific tailored advice to improve and monitor the recovery and development progress.
Whether it is an acute or chronic injury, or a chronic pain inducing and movement restricting condition, Tanya can:
Assess you to establish what is the best current advice to apply at home to help speed up the recovery
Advise on self treatment methods to apply yourself to alleviate symptoms
Plan and lead you through specifically tailored advice and exercises to enable improvement in your range of movement and functional capability to aid recovery
Plan an exercise plan to encourage correct muscle firing patterns, to reduce tight and painful muscles and other soft tissues, to strengthen to enforce good movement patterns - ultimately to build the body up to aid recovery back to normal activities of daily living (ADLs) and to enable return to any exercise methods of choice at any level.
Provide you with the necessary tools for independant self care and body management through knowing WHAT TO DO and HOW TO DO IT.
Our main areas for online advice (in addition to our classes) are:
Injury and Pain Management Assessment, Treatment, Rehabilitation and Advice Sessions - this can be for any issues or injuries relating to muscle, tendon, ligament, joint and neural tissues.
Self Care Advice 1:1s and 2:1s (what is best practice for you)

If you have any ideas or suggestions of videos you would like to see online also - we would love your feedback. We plan to provide you with short videos either answering some questions, or good practices that you could implement in your day - to make you feel better physically and mentally.
We hope to bring you more classes and workshops over the next few weeks.
Some of our content will be free and some will be chargeable - watch our blog and social media posts and keep an eye on your emails!

Latest Update - Service Provision Changes at TDR Academy
Classes are now closed at the studio for the foreseeable future, but we are bringing you online interactive classes from Monday 23rd - awesome! Our clinic times are changing also to account for these changes, but you can still book online at present for these. Get in touch with Tanya if you have any questions! More details to follow.
Latest Updates
Classes
Sad face - In response to the daily changing environment - all classes are now closed for the foreseeable future at the studio. We will miss our (occasional) blue sky view from the studio!
Happy face - We will be getting online interactive classes up and running very soon - hoping to start with just a few amendments to the timetable only. We will be contacting our current class members directly by texts and emails to get you up to speed to get you started for Monday 23rd March. If there are spaces after that, then new members can book in online as normal through our booking software Mindbody.
You will need a device (phone, tablet, laptop or computer) with a camera to be able to join in, although you can join in with audio only also if you don’t have a camera. If you want your teacher to see you to be able to offer advice and alignment cues - you need a camera.
We are looking forward to seeing you on your mat - will be a fun new approach to keeping you moving in these exceptional times. For your physical and mental health - we want to keep your routine going.

Friday 8.45am to 3.45pm
Gary’s appointments are varying at present, so you can check online or get in touch to enquire if you don’t see anything that suits.
This is all subject to change based on government advice. However we will try to continue to look after you as best we can taking all necessary measures for cleaning, hygiene and safety. We ask that you follow all advice upon entering the premises:
Use the hand gel provided on entry before ascending the stairs.
Be prepared to make payment via card preferably to reduce contact again.
Do not attend if you have any symptoms of fever or a cough.
Do not attend if you have been in contact with someone that has symptoms or is needing to isolate, until you are free of symptoms for 14days.
Cancel at the earliest point if you cannot attend, to enable us to have time to allocate the appointment to another client.
You can still book and amend online or contact Tanya on 07879415711.
Everyones safety is our priority, including our own. We want to be sure your physical and mental health is being looked after so we will continue to work as it is safe to do so.
Be sensible and stay safe.
Just a reminder on the current advice:
What you can do:
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
Put used tissues in the bin straight away
Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean
Wash your hands with soap and water often – use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
Anyone with a new, continuous cough or high temperature (37.8 degrees and above) is advised to self-isolate for seven days
If you are worried about symptoms, please call your GP. Do not go directly to your GP or other healthcare environment.
What we are doing:
On top of our normal studio cleaning procedures, TDR Academy has introduced a number of additional hygiene measures to allow us to continue working within our community:
We have intensified our day-to-day cleaning of the Studio
We wipe banister rails, door handles etc each day with alcohol based wipes. Current advice is that the virus does not live long exposed on dry porous surfaces (like blankets, bolsters) and anti-baterical wipes don't work against a virus
We now have paper towels and sterile hand wash - and our team are washing their hands more regularly
We have introduced additional hand gel stations, which we ask students to use when they arrive and before they leave
If our team have any symptoms, we will cancel any classes or treatments at the earliest notice possible
Coming to the Clinic and Home Practice for Your Mat:
We ask clients to wash your hands before and after visiting the clinic and your mat and to clean the mat that is being used before and after use.
If you do feel unwell, we ask that you remain at home and self isolate until feeling better
If you display any of these symptoms, please do not visit our clinic for at least 14 days.
Please remember to have your own water bottle and drink regularly, eg every 15 minutes minimum, and bring your own tissues.
For those clients affected by any possible school closures, please do not bring your children to the clinic..
For answers to common questions, and the most up to date information, head over to the Public Health Agency website. Or the BBC News website has some great advice.
Together we can all maintain a responsible and cautious approach to limiting the spread of this virus and protecting the more vulnerable members of our society whilst keeping a positive attitude.
Wishing you safety and good health through this time.

Coronavirus Precautions at TDR Academy
We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops in line with advice from the Government and relevant health authorities and issue updates at such times. We will remain open until then as we work on a 1:1 in our treatment sessions and have a maximum of 9:1 ratio in our classes. Follow the advice as we will. If you have any symptoms - stay home and stay safe!
It's a worrying time both locally and globally with the coronavirus illness now being described as a pandemic. So we thought we'd share some of the advice and information, and let you know what we're doing.
We really believe that what we're offering here at TDR Academy is worth so much in terms of general mental and physical health, and that we're here to help our Tribe over the coming weeks.
Symptoms of coronavirus and COVID19:
a cough
a high temperature
shortness of breath
But these symptoms do not necessarily mean you have the illness.
The symptoms are similar to other illnesses that are much more common, such as cold and flu.
How it’s spread:
An infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has had a virus on it, and then touching their own mouth, nose or eyes. However, this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Most people who contract COVID-19 are thought to show mild or very few symptoms. Common symptoms include fever, cough, and / or shortness of breath.
What you can do:
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
Put used tissues in the bin straight away
Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean
Wash your hands with soap and water often – use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
Anyone with a new, continuous cough or high temperature (37.8 degrees and above) is advised to self-isolate for seven days
If you are worried about symptoms, please call your GP. Do not go directly to your GP or other healthcare environment.

If you do feel unwell, we ask that you remain at home until feeling better
If you display any of these symptoms, please do not visit our studio for at least 7 days.
Please remember to bring your own water bottle and drink regularly, eg every 15 minutes minimum, and bring your own tissues.
For those clients affected by any possible school closures, please do not bring your children to class.
For answers to common questions, and the most up to date information, head over to the Public Health Agency website. Or the BBC News website has some great advice.
We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops in line with advice from the Government and relevant health authorities and issue updates at such times.
We are also looking at providing classes from your own home by an interactive video conference app, if classes are to be cancelled, so you can still turn up on your mat at home. Our numbers are maximum of 9 per class, so we will wait for advice on closures around this, but hope to have our back up plan in place.
Treatments can still go ahead until government advice states otherwise, but please ensure you have no symptoms and have not been in contact with anyone at potential risk in order to attend for your appointment.
Together we can all maintain a responsible and cautious approach to limiting the spread of this virus and protecting the more vulnerable members of our society whilst keeping a positive attitude.
Wishing you safety and good health through this time.

It's Newbie Season at TDR Academy of Movement and Therapy
We want you to feel the difference that both Yoga and Pilates can have for your body and mind!
There are many crossovers between Yoga and Pilates and each can be useful to you in many ways. Both focus on lengthening and strengthening, with mindful movements to improve your brain to muscle connections, and they relax your body and mind thereby reducing stress. But there are also some differences, especially depending on the level of intensity of the practice.
We want you to feel the difference that both Yoga and Pilates can have for your body and mind!
There are many crossovers between Yoga and Pilates and each can be useful to you in many ways. Both focus on lengthening and strengthening, with mindful movements to improve your brain to muscle connections, and they relax your body and mind thereby reducing stress. But there are also some differences, especially depending on the level of intensity of the practice.
Are you aware of feeling tight muscles and stiffness, a general lack of mobility and maybe notice your breathing feels shallow? Maybe you’re feeling stressed and tense? Then, Yoga is for you!
Do you feel that your posture is not always where it should be, that daily life tasks are a challenge? Maybe you’re getting niggles and weaknesses, or are dealing with injuries or getting back issues? Do you need to work on the smaller muscles to improve your other training activities and boost your mobility? Then, Pilates is for you!
Remember, we’re here to help guide you towards which to try first, or maybe you’d benefit from doing both! (We offer large discounts when doing more than one class with us - approx 25% off of your 2nd class and even more of your 3rd!! Get in touch with Tanya to discuss the options.)
One thing we hear a lot is that people are put off going to classes in gyms and larger studios as they’ve either hurt themselves or don’t learn how to do the movements correctly. Our focus here is on helping you learn these movements and how they feel in your body so that you can keep good technique as much and as often as possible. We’ll help you learn when you are out of alignment and how to correct or modify for the best effect and safe progression.
We are small in size and mighty - the smallest class sizes around - with you as our focus. Our classes are suitable for various levels and attended by both males and females. We provide constant attention to help your movement practice as we coach - we don't do the class - we watch you and keep you the focus! We also encourage a bit of craic too - all exercise needs to be fun!
So, are you interested in giving your body something good?
We have limited mats available and our classes are run in blocks of 6 weeks to give your body and mind time to absorb - and learn - the difference:
Mondays:
7.30pm Beginners Pilates Fundamentals - suitable for complete beginners.
8.30pm Yoga - Currently Full - taking names on the waiting list.
Tuesdays:
NEW CLASS - 10am New to Yoga (starting 5th November) - suitable for complete beginners
6.30pm Yoga - Open level (the level requires that you have some knowledge of Yoga practice)
7.40pm New to Yoga - suitable for complete beginners.
Wednesdays:

You can start this week in our classes - subject to space as booking and payment secures your mat!
You owe your body this time, and your mind will thank you!
Book online or for more information check out the website. Or if you need to discuss anything, text Tanya on 07879 415711. Also if you have any questions or want to know anything about what TDR Academy offers or general advice - ask Tanya!

Help Your Recovery from the Belfast Marathon - no matter what your distance
Help get yourself rcovered from the Belfast Marathon - no matter what your distance. At TDR Academy of Movement & Therapy - we can help! We’re offering special stretch class on Wednesday 8th specially designed for runners and Gary will be on hand post event massages Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Sunday 5th May has been a date in many people’s diaries for a long time now. With approximately 5,000 entries, this year’s Deep RiverRock Belfast City Marathon was another amazing day for everyone!
The brand new route, covered all four corners of the city, with options for runners to take part in the 26.2 mile marathon individually or as a team relay, a 9 mile walk and a 2.5 mile Fun Run - so there was something to suit all abilities. The marathon started at Stormont, worked it’s way through North, East, South and West of Belfast, and finish at Ormeau Park. Organisers promised a flatter and faster route, to help with some PBs this year.
So, how’s your training been going? What’s your recovery and self care routines? Did you make the most of the all important taper? As you know, the tapering phase is a critical part of your marathon training. During these last couple of weeks, you should have cut back your mileage to give your body and mind a chance to rest, recover, and prepare for your marathon.
Stuart Kennedy, Official Marathon Coach for this year’s marathon said recently:
“I have found myself being very busy giving advice over the past week since the taper has started. This is the time to keep calm and trust your training. There’s something I do when I coach individuals. When I run up a very steep hill with an athlete I get them to look back at the hill they have just climbed & instead of focusing on feeling tired they focus on what they have just achieved. This is what I want you all to do, think of all the months of training you have done to this point, the LSR, the hill sessions, the faster paced runs, the races. The times you dragged yourself out of the house when all you wanted to do was sit in front of the TV and eat your dinner. Focus on what you have achieved on this marathon journey so far. Keep your thoughts positive, you are amazing.”
