Charity Events

Lushington Chiropractic had a very busy time during half term October 2016 offering Health and Posture checks to pupils and teachers from schools in the surrounding area including Bexhill and Seaford.

The Chiropractors waived the usual fee of £50 in return for a donation to Barnardo’s Children’s charity £185.00 was raised.

Well done to DC Caroline Mulliner for providing £400 of chiropractic care for a member of the armed forces recently.

Award winning Lushington Chiropractic is participating in the ‘Hands for Heroes’, initiative offering Free Chiropractic Care for Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans and reduced priced care for all service and ex-service personal.

Dr James Revell says “The Hands for Heroes initiative is an excellent way for us to say thank you to our local service and ex-service personnel. Chiropractic can make a huge difference for a wide range of conditions – more than just back pain. With this free and reduced price treatment, there’s no need for local service men and women to suffer in silence.”

Lushington Chiropractic is happy to be supporting those who are supporting others in the community.

If you have a Care for Carers card and are in need of chiropractic care just present your card when booking your first consultation and you will receive £10 off your first appointment.

In the month of June Lushington chiropractic waived the normal charge of £49 for a consultation for any new guests who mentioned St Wilfrid’s when booking their appointment, in return we asked for a donation for St Wilfrid’s Hospice and we have raised £150.00

St Wilfrid’s is a wonderful place in the town that cares for terminally ill patients and helps to support their families also

On Sunday 4th December we did the Santa Fun Run from the sovereign centre to holywell. It was great to see so many people supporting the run which was in aid of the charity Myaware which helps people with the rare muscle weakness disease called Myasthenia Gravis.

These were all made either by guests of Lushington Chiropractic or by Dr James’s Mum

There were hand knitted scarfs, Christmas tree decorations and rustic Christmassy candle holder table decorations

Guests were invited to purchase these items with a donation to Barnardo’s Children’s Charity

In total £105.00 was raised

Lushington Chiropractic is committed to working with local business and helping local charities whenever possible. This is what the chiropractors, massage therapists and chiropodist had in mind when they embarked on a gruelling charity bike ride from Paris back to Eastbourne in 24 hours very early on a May morning.

The training had started many months before with training rides in all weathers fitted into busy diaries and covering many miles around Eastbourne and the surrounding areas including Hailsham, Seaford and further afield. 

Taking part in the ride were James Revell (Doctor of Chiropractic), Diane (our fabulous clinic administrator), Jess Plail and Sue Hudson (Sports massage Therapists), Daniel Upton (Chiropody/podiatrist), and Graham, Stuart, Ben, Simon & Pete (friends of the clinic) 

The race itself although very hard went very well and everyone made it back safely, to fall into nice warm beds!

The clinic raised over £3,000 for our local Eastbourne hospice St Wildrid’s.

Another event organised by St Wilfrid’s was a quiz night based on many of the popular quiz shows on the TV including Never mind the Buzzcocks, Catchphrase and The generation game.

We entered a team with a very mixed knowledge of popular culture and current affairs and we were delighted to find that we came joint second.

It was nice to see other Eastbourne businesses and other business coming from as far afield as Seaford and hailsham.

James had a good conversation over a glass of wine with a couple of competitors and was able to explain the difference between Chiropractic, Osteopathy and Sports massage and physiotherapy

We all paid an entrance fee and with a raffle and donations for refreshments we helped them to raise over £1000 on what was a great fun night.

Our Chiropractors love going out into the community and helping people and local charities in Eastbourne, Children are particularly important to them and so in half term we carried out health and Posture checks for school children in the local area including Eastbourne, Hailsham, Seaford, Polegate and Willingdon.

These health and posture checks give parents the opportunity to discuss their child with a fully qualified and experienced Chiropractor. They may advise on posture, lifestyle, nutrition or even exercises.

The focus is on getting to the root of the problem and improving overall health

The children love coming into the clinic and meeting the chiropractors and having some fun with them

We waive the normal fee of £49.00 in return for a suitable donation to Barnardo’s Children’s Charity.

St Wilfrid’s Hospice is one of the local charities in Eastbourne that Lushington Chiropractic is always very pleased to support whenever possible, they provide many fundraising opportunities for business’s to get involved in and we throw ourselves into many of the events with great enthusiasm if not much skill!!

So in February we gathered with much trepidation at Banker’s corner in Terminus Road, Eastbourne waiting to take part in the annual pancake race.

We had two teams of four including: James Revell (Doctor of Chiropractic), Mykel Mason (Doctor of Chiropractic), Victoria White (Doctor of Chiropractic), and Jess Plail (Sports massage therapist) making up one team and Claire, Ann, Jill and Judy (clinic assistants) making up the other.

Even whilst we were waiting for the start of the race it wasn’t all fun and no work as we had a couple of members of the public approach us to ask how Chiropractic might help them!

It was nice to see some of our guests in the crowd cheering us on.

Victoria one of our Doctors of Chiropractic was delighted when her partner made a special visit to cheer her on!

We came 3rd and 4th respectively in our heats and raised £185.00, we would like to thank all our guests for sponsoring us!

Lushington men supported the annual, month-long event Movember by each growing their moustaches during the month. Money is raised for awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancer and associated charities. The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health."

As if cycling from Paris to Eastbourne in May wasn’t enough some of the same practitioners took part in a ride from London to Lushington in Sept 2014, 90 miles in 12 hours! From Buckingham Palace to Lushington Chiropractic Clinic in Eastbourne.

London to Lushington bike ride

James Revell (Doctor of Chiropractic), Jess Plail (sports massage therapist) and Graham, Stuart, Ben and Don (friends of the clinic) all set off keen to head back to Eastbourne as quickly as possible, they made very good time apart from a stop off in Glynde for a well-earned refreshment break, Non alcoholic of course!!

In July 2014 Lushington Chiropractic opened it’s doors to the public and had an open day.

We had Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Chiropody/podiatrists, A Chinese Massage and Acupuncture therapist and a Psychotherapist all on hand to chat to people who were interested in what they do and whether it could help them. They offered taster sessions in many cases

We also had health trainers Viola and Angela on hand to advise on many things including diet, giving up smoking and drug addiction.

We had liquid refreshments in our back driveway and a Barbeque in the front which proved very popular!

There were talks throughout the afternoon covering all aspects of what we do at Lushington including:

We offered many activities for people to take part in and help raise money for charity including: guess how many vertebrae there were in a jar! Guess the name of the bear a quiz face painting and a balloon race.

Open day balloon race

It was an extremely busy and successful day and we raised over £200.

We would like to thank all our guests and non-guests for their support and kind donations.
