Are you suffering from back pain, leg pain or spinal arthritis? You could win pioneering treatment at Horley Spinal Health where owners Phil and Rosie Mitchell have been offering the MBST Cell Regeneration Therapy to patients for over 18 months now.

Conditions such as osteoarthritis, disc degeneration, disc prolapse (‘slipped discs’) and sciatica have been responding very well to this pioneering technology. MBST directly stimulates the regenerative processes in targeted tissue to repair and reverse damaged or injured muscle, ligament, tendons, cartilage and discs, bone, nerves and soft tissues, for accelerated wound healing. The clinic now has a new MBST ASL machine for the smaller joints of the hands and feet and for specific knee, elbow and ankle injuries. It’s suitable for hand and wrist arthritis, tendinopathies, sports injuries and foot and ankle arthritis. clinic@horleyspinalhealth.co.uk www.chiropractic-uk.com

Win! A Spitfire simulator flight with Spitfires.com worth £500
Take to the skies in the world's most realistic Spitfire simulator that can be used for training new Spitfire pilots as well as giving fantastic flight experiences to the public. The simulator has three key components that make it unique and incredibly special. The fuselage has been constructed from approximately 50 per cent wartime parts meaning the airframe has, in part, fought in defence of our freedom. The fuselage is mounted with a 1.5m radius fibreglass dome that covers 220 degrees horizontally. When you look forward and up, left and right, all you see is the projected world around you.
The cockpit is indistinguishable from the real thing. The gauges are all original, with hidden modifications that allow computers to drive them. The detail is astounding and even ‘needle wobble’ has been emulated by a bespoke piece of software. All the controls and dials work exactly as they would in our aircraft in the hangar. This is not a wooden approximation of a Spitfire cockpit. It is real! www.spitfires.com
A 60-minute slot in the Simulator, flying/airborne for approximately 50 minutes.
One guest may accompany you to watch your experience.
The simulator is located at their Goodwood base only. Expect to be there for 1.5 hours.

Win! A Bespoke Brow Design Tanya Heymeson worth £300
Look forward to perfect eyebrows with microblading, a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of eyebrows by creating hair-like strokes using a manual tool with fine needles. Permanent make up is a great treatment for ‘giving you your brows back’ whether you’ve lost them through years of over plucking, the menopause, alopecia or cancer treatment.
The treatment involves depositing pigment into the upper layers of the skin, resulting in natural-looking, fuller brows. During the process with Tanya, who has 22 years’ experience in the beauty industry and eight years in permanent make up, you will have a consultation at her clinic in Rustington, West Sussex, followed by mapping and shaping where a technician outlines the brows using precise measurements to create a balanced shape. A numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort followed by microblading strokes where the technician etches fine strokes into the skin, mimicking natural brow hairs. A semi-permanent pigment is applied to the strokes to ensure long-lasting colour. After 4–6 weeks, a touch-up session is done to refine the shape and fill in any areas where pigment has faded. Expect some scabbing and mild itching as the skin heals. Results typically last 1–3 years, depending on skin type and lifestyle. www.bespokebrowdesign.co.uk
