QUEEN’S PARK HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
Cast of thousands!
This year the school put on a production of the hit
Broadway musical ‘Hairspray’.
With a cast, band and crew of over 130 students from
all year groups, it was the biggest and most ambitious
performance the school has ever attempted. It is the
school’s policy that every student should have the
opportunity to take part and so roles were added to cater
for everybody who wanted to take part.
The performances took place over four nights in February
and included a matinee for 230 pupils from neighbouring
primary schools.
Mr Yeoman, Head of the Recreational and Performing
Arts faculty said, ‘The standard of their work means
that many will be able to use this project as high quality
coursework towards their Music and Drama GCSE’s. The strength of the school’s creative
output is testament to the hard work of all of those involved’.
After the matinee Year 5 students stayed to take part in workshops that looked at some of
the issues raised by the performance delivered by teachers from Queen’s Park. They had
the opportunity to meet and work with students from other primary schools in activities linked
to dance, drama, music, lighting and sound and art. The feedback from Year 5 students and
staff was very positive. They thoroughly enjoyed their day and staff from QPHS were very
impressed by the students.

WHO SAYS YOU ARE ON

Jane Bryant, from the
Hough Green Clinic,
explains how a new
treatment can help
to reverse the signs
of ageing.
Having known about this
exciting breakthrough
since December I am so
thrilled that I can at last
share this research and
development with you.
Joe Lewis, scientist for PRIORI
skincare, and other eminent
scientists from around the world
were some time ago invited to
Switzerland to carry out research
into Hutchinson-Gilford progeria
syndrome. This is the syndrome that,
thankfully only rarely, affects children
who appear to be normal at birth but after
only 6 to 12 months of age appear to age
rapidly and by as early as two years of age
resemble little old men.
During their research these scientists
discovered the key to turning off the ageing
process and switching it back on again.
Since this time Joe Lewis has been working
tirelessly to develop a serum to turn back the
years of our ageing skin.
Here at the Hough Green Clinic we are
proud to announce that we have the
result of his research and development

Boxing clever in the Park
FRIENDS of Westminster Park received £225 from the Community Forum towards
the cost of building nesting boxes in the Park. Volunteers are needed to assemble the
boxes - they can have your name on them and you can watch the progress of your ‘own’
box.
The Friends have continued to talk with the council about improving and developing the
Park and they now have an official management plan - an important statement of intent
on behalf of the Council. The plan has been used as part of the Council’s bid to achieve
Green Flag status for the Park.
l Friends of Westminster Park planted 300 primrose plants around the Park late last
year.

BMX track so popular

IT has been a busy time in the Park. The BMX track and the play areas continue to be
very popular. The council is looking for someone to organise a club to look after the
track - any offers? Craig Edwards is organising a cricket club based in the Park and
willing volunteers can contact him on craigandkatrina@btinternet.com

HEEL PAIN
PODIATRIST PETER COLHOUN
DISCUSSES ONE OF THE MOST
PAINFUL FOOT CONDITIONS
T his month we’re going to talk about Plantar

Fasciitis - better known as heel pain. If you have
suffered from this (or are currently suffering from this)
then you will know how debilitating it feels to walk on
a foot that is completely sore across the sole and heel
areas.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Quite simply, plantar fasciitis is a chronic inflammation [of the
sole of foot muscles] at the site of the attachment of the plantar
fascia to the medial tubercle of the calcanuem [heel bone].
If you had a muscle inflammation in other body locations, like
your arm or neck, you could simply rest the affected area until it
subsided and got better. However, with a muscle inflammation on
the sole of your foot, you have little opportunity to rest it as you
aggravate the problem with every weight-bearing step you take!
How can it be treated?

When you first feel the onset of heel pain, you probably reach
for the anti-inflammatory tablets (if you can take them) and
pop some extra padding in your shoe. You then realise the
inflammation is progressing and nothing seems to help!
This is where your Podiatrist can help. After a biomechanical assessment, your podiatrist will
be able to tell you what the cause of the problem is. This is an important factor to bear in mind:
Plantar Fasciitis can arise because of different reasons. Each cause has a different treatment
plan. Your podiatrist will be able to locate whether your pain has come from a limited range of
ankle movement, tight calf muscles, a rheumatoid or “human leucocyte antigen” process or a heel
spur / fascial enthesis.
Your heel pain or plantar fasciitis may also be caused by a bad walking pattern. Your podiatrist will
especially want to check your mechanics at ‘push-off’ and changeover at the mid-stance phase of
gait (walking).
Once the cause of your pain has been isolated, your podiatrist can then provide appropriate
treatment - including orthotic insoles. These specialist insoles fit inside your footwear and are
made from an impression of your foot. Bespoke orthotics are the indication for mechanically
caused plantar fasciitis, as the ‘arch’ area of the thin shell needs to perfectly fit your foot’s arch
to mimic the action of the plantar fascia. If you use over-the-counter orthotics, foot pads, gel
supports, shock absorbers, etc, you will be unlikely to achieve the same perfect ‘arch contour’ fit.
Questions?
If you have any questions on how you could improve your walking and comfort, please feel free
to call Peter. For an appointment, please call the clinic on 01244 682500 and ask for “Peter” (as
several staff members work on-site) on 01244 682500.
