Here are 10 ways to start boosting your mental and physical health during lockdown…
Proven to help reduce pain and injury
INTRODUCING, THE NEW ENERTOR Walking and Running Insoles with PX1 shock absorption technology. Enertor, manufactured in Britain, has been helping people stay pain and injury free for over 20 years. Their new PX1 technology is double the shock absorption per millimetre than standard insoles which means more protection from pain and injury*.
Most people don’t think about the impact that ground forces from running or walking have on your body and the injuries that they can cause.
The unique PX1 technology spreads ground forces out across the insole, like a crash helmet for your feet. They also provide support to try to keep your foot in its natural position while walking, this is also important to help reduce the risk of pain and injuries.
They are tested and used by the British Army and are endorsed by England Athletics and they are even worn and endorsed by the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt.
They are a class 1 medical device designed to help painful feet, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, knee pain, shin splints, bunions, metatarsalgia, arthritis and lower back pain. The insoles are light and extremely comfortable and fit into almost any shoe.

Get reliable relief from cold sores this winter
IF YOU SUFFER FROM REGULAR cold sore outbreaks in the colder months, then look no further than lipivir®. The revolutionary lip gel is proven to prevent cold sores from appearing; reduce regular outbreaks; and ensure normal, good-looking lips.
Don’t wait for cold sores to appear – get protected with lipivir® by applying it up to twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening) to keep you covered at all times. lipivir® is neat and small, easily fitting into any bag or pocket, so it’s handy and ready to use whenever you need it. The transparent gel makes application discreet and you can still use lipstick, lip gloss and make-up when applied shortly after lipivir®.
Over 85% of the UK population carry the cold sore virus. Here are some useful tips for keeping them at bay, this winter:
- De-Stress – Going for a walk or even just turning your phone off for a few hours or making a nice hot, calming drink are some of the many ways to relieve some tension quickly
- Superfoods – Introduce nuts, seeds and fruits into your diet as they have nutrients which can boost your immune system, which builds resistance to the cold sore virus
- Lip-care – Keep your lip care routine on top form. Apply lipivir® twice a day but also invest in a good lip balm to keep your lips hydrated.
Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, lipivir® is cruelty-free, skin-friendly and contains no preservatives or cortisone.

An advanced device for glaucoma therapy
ISTENT INJECT® W is one of the smallest medical implants known to be put in the human body. Today, the original iStent® and iStent inject have been implanted in more than 600,000 eyes around the world.
iStent inject
iStent inject W devices are microscopic 0.36mm stents, which are implanted into the eye. When in place, they aren’t visible to the human eye. The stents are designed to restore the eye’s natural fluid outflow, thus reducing ocular pressure [1].
The surgery can be carried out at the same time as cataract surgery, or during a separate procedure, usually under local anaesthetic by an ophthalmologist. iStent inject has an excellent safety profile and is performed by ophthalmologists while you’re awake. An international study has shown 72% of patients who were treated with iStent inject no longer need to take glaucoma medication after 12 months [2].
Glaucoma
Once diagnosed, the most common treatment is prescription eye drops, which will help to either reduce the fluid production or increase the drainage of fluid from the eye. These eyedrops need to be applied up to three times a day, every day for the rest of your life, so compliance can become an issue, thus reducing the efficacy of the treatment. Trabecular micro-bypass surgery can be an alternative treatment.
