Myopractic
Bowen Therapy
Is often the turning point.
The wholistic approach of Myopractic Bowen
Therapy is very valuable in treating sporting
injuries or general accidents. It assists
a wide range of muscle and skeletal disorders,
and can also promote healing of many imbalances
of the body's internal systems.
Myopractic Bowen Therapy makes postural distortions
an important priority in its approach. Therefore
much of its work goes to the very source of
the problem.
The following are just a
few of the bodily disorders that have responded
well to Myopractic Bowen Therapy.
o Back and neck injuries
o Shoulder, arm, hip and leg injuries
o Fatigue
o Nervous stress
o Digestive disorders
o Menstrual disorders
o Postural imbalances
DEEP MUSCLE
THERAPY
One of the major factors restricting the flow
of blood and lymph is tight muscles. When
the muscles, particularly the deeper layers,
are in spasm there is a 'clamping' effect
on the arteries which slows the circulation
and inhibits the lymphatic flow. These spasms
(and subsequent adhesions) may be present
for years, affecting every single organ and
tissue in the body - the liver - heart - brain
- etc.
Most therapies overlook
the factor of releasing the deeper layers
of the muscles as a priority before trying
to enhance circulation. We have a two fold
effect that takes place once these deeper
layers are released, not only are the arteries
released but overall circulation through the
muscles is increased which will build a stronger
immune system thus helping our bodies to cope
with the pressures of life so much easier.
These are the basic principles
on which depends whether a therapy will be
successful. With this in mind I would like
to introduce you to DEEP MUSCLE THERAPY.
Deep Muscle Therapy is not just another therapy
that may help. The fact is that it will help
and plays a major part in how fast the healing
process can take place within the body.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
One of the main functions of the lymphatic
system is to control the volume of fluid circulating
in the body. The interstitial fluid is vital
to body cells. It brings moisture and nutrients,
picks up waste products of cell metabolism,
excess proteins, bacteria, viruses and inorganic
materials such as chemicals and transports
them to the organs of elimination.
Lymphostasis can occur anywhere in the deep lymphatic system leading to serious problems. when the superficial vessels are overloaded, normal drainage pathways become congested causing backflow to occur. The deep channels are affested.
This system is so extensive with deep lymphatic nodes and vessels situated so deeply in the body that it is evident that exercises and outside pressure alone cannot clear all the congestion that often occurs in particular areas.
REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Massage is a simple, non-intrusive therapy
that restores, rehabilitates and revitalises
your body and mind.
Anyone of any age in any condition can use
and benefit from massage.
There are many different
kinds of massage therapy. They involve systematically
working the muscles and other soft tissues
of the body to optimise the functioning of
the various bodily systems. Massage therapy
eases the pain and discomfort of injuries,
strains, accidents and illness to allow the
body's natural healing processes to work most
effectively. It enhances your vitality and
sense of well-being.
Massage can be a regular part of your health
care plan. You can work with a massage therapist
to either overcome or prevent injury and illness.
Massage keeps your muscles and soft tissues
well-toned, improves your posture and re-balances
your body/mind.
BACH FLOWER REMEDIES
The discovery of Bach Flower remedies is due
to one man. 'Dr. Edward Bach'. Dr. Bach trained
at the University College Hospital, London
in the days when doctors only focused on physical
symptoms and ignored the 'whole' person. It
soon became apparent to Dr. Bach that although
several people may have had the same symptoms,
it was necessary to give different treatments
in order to cure them.
Bach flower remedies help to remove all the
unnecessary ' stuff ' from our psyche whether
it is Spiritual or Emotional and just allow
us to 'be'
REIKI
Reiki is a safe, simple easy to learn natural
technique. However, as Reiki is experiential,
it cannot be learnt from books.
It is necessary to attend a class given by
a Reiki Master. Once a person is attuned to
the Reiki energy, it is with them for life.
First degree can be learnt
in one day or two evenings. Attunements are
given to align and open the energy centres
to Reiki.
AROMATHERAPY
AROMATHERAPY is the scientific use of pure
plant extracts known as ESSENTIAL OILS. There
are many essential oils for varying uses.
Stress, tension, aches and pains, allergic
reactions, emotional and mental upsets can
be helped with Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy oils or 'Essential oils' are 70 times stronger that the actual plant form.
FOOT REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is the science that deals with
the principle that there are reflex areas
in the hands and feet that correspond to all
the organs, glands and parts of the body.
WEIGHT LOSS
Lose Weight - Gain Better Health
The Academy of Healing Therapies
Weight Loss Clinic believes that the latest
research points to the traditional food pyramid
creating more disease than good health.
"Research on higher protein diets is
showing enormous results in the reduction
of insulin needs in Type 2 or mature onset
diabetes and also produces dramatic results
in actual fat loss and the lowering of cholesterol
levels."
