PROPELIUM, meanwhile, offers enhanced cushioning, shock absorption and energy generation. In rose gold, the label’s new line of pro gear will get you onto the winner’s block. £125,

Move your frame Fitness fanatics tend to fall into one of two categories: adrenalin junkies and peace-seekers. However, London fitness concept Move your Frame seeks to change all that. New class Hiit N Chill offers 30 minutes of high inten- sity training — a combination of speed, strength, plyometric and isometric exercises — followed by 30 minutes of mindful meditation and sound bathing. The objective is to offer highly strung Hiit addicts a few moments of contemplation and a pause to let their hard word sink in. Fans of the slick studio will be thrilled to hear of two new Frame sites opening for 2018, in Fitzrovia (it’ll be the largest ever) and Hammersmith.

By managing a patient’s pain, acupuncture can enhance physiotherapy treatments, such as exercise, therefore aiding recovery. The AACP has over 6,000 members, making it the largest professional body for acupuncture in the UK. Your local AACP acupuncture-physiotherapist can be found by visiting
