☀️ Staying cool during a heatwave can sometimes feel like an impossible task! Especially if you use a mobility aid 🥵
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But listening to your body and looking after yourself in the sun is so important! Here are our top tips to beat the heat so you can enjoy the sunshine without overheating ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Wear loose-fitting clothes that are short enough that they don’t get caught on your stick or crutch 💃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Try to stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day (between 11am-3pm) 😎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. HYDRATE! Drink lots of water and electrolytes to minimise the chances of dehydration 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Any other tips I’ve missed? Let us know, comment below! ☀️

September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month and until you actually suffer from an injury like this, it is impossible to understand the ways that it will affect your life 🙃

I would love to be able to go back to my pre-accident self and explain about what would happen, what it would mean and that it really, it is not all bad 🌈

These are just three things I wish that I could tell my pre-accident self about my spinal injury - is there anything you would tell yourself pre disability? Let me know, comment below and we may just be able to help someone facing this now ❤️

This is your friendly reminder to check in with yourself! As the summer winds down, it is easy to get caught up in all the noise of bank holiday planning, back to school, etc. 🙃 But remember to take time for yourself! Even if it is just 15 minutes of fresh air in the garden, or a bath and a book in the evening. Make yourself a priority just as much as you do for others 🙏 Take a deep breath, reset and go ❤️ #CoolCrutches #Chroniclllness #Chronicallylll #ChronicallyAwesome #ChronicallyFabulous #ChronicPainWarrior #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #Fibromyalgia #EDSAwareness #EhlersDanlos #BabeWithAMobilityAid #MobilityAids #MobilityAid #Disabled #Disability #DisabledAndProud #DisabilityPride #DisabilityAwareness o#ArthritisRelief #Arthritis #Amputee #AmputeeWoman #AmputeeLife created by Cool Crutches & Walking Sticks with Meg ☁️✨'s original sound

Our fabulous Co-Founder, Amelia shares a few words on what she has learned about acquiring a disability…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Your life will not be the same, but that does not mean it will be worse - trying to revert back to your life before may well make it feel worse but the second you pivot and look forward, at what you CAN do, with people who YOU love, that is when things kick back into the right gear 🌈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep going, don’t give up, it gets easier, it gets better than you ever imagined life would be, I promise ❤️”

We have some exciting news!

🌟We have partnered with PhysioNet to help up-cycle used or unwanted mobility aids by sending them around the world to people in need. PhysioNet is a brilliant charity that works tirelessly to refurbish and redistribute unwanted mobility aids from UK hospitals, hospices and households to communities and countries that desperately need them 🙌

👉 It is estimated that the UK sits on over £14 Million a year of unused or used and discarded mobility aids. We want to help!

When you purchase crutches or sticks from us, we will send the necessary packaging for you to pack up and send us your old mobility aid, which we will be hand-delivering to the incredible team of volunteers at PhysioNet. They will then be assessed and refurbished by their team of physios, packaged up and distributed across the globe to help millions of people who may not have access to any sort of support or aid. As a thank you we will send you a 10% discount code too ❤️

Not only can this change the lives of so many people living with a disability, but it is also tackling the environmental issue caused by the disposal of these items 🙌

For more information on PhysioNet, visit their website at PhysioNet.org.uk and to find out how to send us your sticks visit our website and search ‘send us your sticks’ 🌟

A quick rundown of all the products I take when I go abroad to support my disability ☀️

👉 Blue Badge - although it’s not accepted in all countries (including EU countries post brexit) some do still accept it so worth checking before you fly

👉 Sunflower lanyard - signals to all that you have a disability so may need extra time and help as you travel. Absolutely brilliant in an airport and if you don’t have one or forget yours, special assistance often have a stash so if you pop there to pick one up

👉 Pro biotics - I take these every day, at home I take @symproveyourlife but for this trip I’m taking a travel pack from Advanced Biotics as recommended by the brilliant nutritionist Hannah Alderson. They are amazing on holiday post flight / when juggling dehydration and often a change in diet

👉 Foot orthotic - this is something I wear every second of every day, I have foot drop and so can’t really walk without it. Mine is a Neurodyn Foot Lift Orthosis from Beagle Orthopaedic and it is FANTASTIC. If anyone has foot drop please get one it’s changed my life! Perfect for holidays because it can go in the wash and won’t give you sores or blisters 🙌

👉 Talcum powder - the golden ticket to happy feet! With minimal feeling and movement in my feet it’s key that my feet are completely dry and free of any shells / sand / anything stuck to them before I put my foot brace or shoes on so never go anywhere without good old talc 👍

👉 I take my fab pouch from Marloe London which has a little pouch (straw one here is from White Company) inside to keep my pills in. This just means I have them on me but also separated so I can easily grab them in a rush or whip them out if security want to check them

❤️ Hope these things are helpful for anyone else travelling with sticks or crutches, please do let me know if there are any things you can’t travel without in the comments and with any luck it will help someone else 🌟
