Stretch Physio Launches New Online Yoga Photo Competition

The Chelmsford-based physiotherapy clinic has launched a brand new social media competition in conjunction with sister company The Hummingbird Centre.

The competition was inspired by a photo the team received via Twitter from Alison Fuller, who captured her foreign adventures on camera by striking a lotus pose while taking a break on the Bolivian Salt Flats in Uyuni. This beautifully striking picture captured the imagination of the owners of Stretch Physio and neighbour The Hummingbird Centre. The team is now asking for more travellers to get in touch with photos of themselves doing yoga or Pilates around the world.

The owner of each photo received will then be put into the draw to win an amazing prize with the company’s Directors. The prize includes a physiotherapy session with Ellie Searle, specialist physiotherapist and Director of Stretch and The Hummingbird Centre, a one-to-one Pilates session with Kellie Jones, Director of The Hummingbird Centre, experienced Pilates teacher and general Pilates and yoga guru, and an en vogue hot yoga class, which will be coming soon to the Centre.

Facebook fans have responded well to the launch of the competition and the team at Stretch and The Hummingbird Centre have received some stunning entries to date.

The two centres decided to launch a joint competition to better promote the wide range of classes and treatments offered at The Hummingbird Centre.

“Naturally, we wanted to use the contest to raise awareness of our business in the local area, but we also wanted to get our online audience more involved in what we do by incentivising them to share their imagery and experiences,” says Ellie Searle.

“Myself and my business partner Kellie both believe that a picture speaks a thousand words. We think that these beautiful photos encapsulate the soothing and calming effects that regular yoga or Pilates can have on an individual. We hope these images will inspire many of our followers to give yoga or Pilates a try at the Centre in order to fully understand why so many people consider these practices to be such an integral part of their overall health and wellbeing.”

Those interested in entering the contest are encouraged to visit The Hummingbird Centre’s Facebook page for entry details. The winner will be announced on 5th January 2014, but participants are encouraged to refer back to the company’s social media profiles for updates, special offers and future competitions.

Gift Vouchers Now Available From The Hummingbird Centre In Essex

The Essex-based Yoga and Pilates centre is kick-starting the New Year by promoting its in-house gift vouchers, which can also be redeemed with its in house physiotherapy and massage clinic, Stretch Physiotherapy.

The gift vouchers now available from The Hummingbird Centre make a great New Year pick-me-up for that special someone. As the company itself states in its most recent newsletter, January is the ideal time of year to ‘give some goodwill to yourselves’, especially after such a hectic Christmas period. Let the team help you to feel better this New Year and work with you to achieve your health and fitness goals.

The vouchers make an excellent gift as they can be redeemed against yoga and Pilates classes at The Hummingbird Centre. The Centre also offers one-to-one Pilates sessions with the company’s founders Ellie Searle and Kellie Jones. Ellie offers specialist skills as both a Physiotherapist and Pilates instructor and can therefore tailor a programme for those who are recovering from illness or injury, as well as those looking to improve their sporting performance with a bespoke Pilates exercise programme. Kellie is an experienced Pilates teacher, with her wealth of experience and extensive repertoire of exercises, she often uses the reformer and other Pilates equipment to help her clients get into their best possible shape.

Lucky recipients can also use their vouchers against physiotherapy or massage treatment at the Stretch clinic. Stretch has a team of specialist physiotherapists and massage therapists, with a wide range of experience and hands on skills, so whatever your problem, the team should be able to help.

Purchase a voucher and book a holistic massage with one of the company’s trained and experienced massage therapists. Those looking for a rejuvenating treatment may be inclined to try out a Swedish tissue massage, which releases chronic muscle tension, while those who train regularly may prefer to organise an appointment with resident sports massage specialist Mark Laybourn, who has been working in the field for over ten years, helping people to recover from sports injuries or to prepare for a competition.

Ellie Searle, founder of Stretch Physiotherapy, explains why she and the rest of the team at The Hummingbird Centre expect to see a reasonable increase in bookings now that the Christmas season is well and truly over.

“At this time of year most of us are in desperate need of some ‘me’ time after a busy Christmas and New Year period. “This is traditionally the time of year when we receive a lot of enquiries from people who have decided that this year they are going to take some time out to look after themselves either to deal with a specific injury or to get in shape.”

Those interested in purchasing gift vouchers from The Hummingbird Centre are encouraged to call 01245 422556.
