The Feet Have it

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Reflexology is a Therapy that works on the feet or hands enabling the body to heal itself.

Whilst the art of reflexology dates back to Ancient Egypt, India and China, it wasn’t until 1913 that Dr William Fitzgerald introduced this therapy to the West as ‘zone therapy’. He noted that reflex areas on the feet and hands were linked to other areas and organs of the body within the same zone. In the 1930’s Eunice Ingham further developed this zone theory into what is now known as reflexology.

Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of “imbalance”, and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing.

Reflexology has been shown to be effective for

  • Back Pain
  • Migraine
  • Fertility
  • Arthritis
  • Sleep disorders
  • Sports Injuries
  • Hormonal Imbalances
  • Digestive disorders
  • Stress-related condition

If you would like to try Reflexology all talk to a reflexologits  give us a call on 01903 856 801

The Dorn of a New Day - Healing through the Spine

Monday, November 17th, 2008

The Dorn Method is a holistic, gentle, effective, non-manipulative and safe way to correct misalignments of the Spinal Column and other joints. It is an effective and safe Manual Therapy and True Self Help Method that can help with:

Back pain,  Sciatica, Scoliosis,  Neck and Joint Pains,  Migraine, Hip-Problems, All Chronic Inner Conditions etc.….

The Method is based on natural laws of physics and anatomy and combines TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) - Principals with Western techniques and principals and it is therefore very efficient.

The Dorn Method combines 3 major factors:

1.) Explanation of the cause of most Spinal and Joint problems  (to avoid future mistakes!)
2.) An effective and safe therapy in cooperation with the patient  (based on nature laws)
3.) Explanation of Self Help Exercises for patient ‘after care’  (necessary to prevent and maintain!)

The Dorn Method is not just a therapy it is a complete healing method that teaches People Self Help by showing how to apply the Dorn Method in a gentle, effective and safe way!

Healing through the Spine - A simple yet very effective method, the ‘Dorn Method’

Dorn Method is available at COH

About Face with Jackie

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Last night the West Sussex Independent Therapists Group met at th COH,  they were treated to a display of Facial  Acupuncture by Jackie Townsend.  she stated the following

The treatment is very pleasant. It releases tension and encourages a smooth flow of energy in the muscles and meridians so that the blood supply to all the tissues of the face is improved, bringing oxygen, nutrients and releasing toxins and stale energy. This results in a brighter, lighter and softer appearance.

Simply, facial acupuncture involves the use of acupuncture and massage to stimulate the flow of qi (vital energy) on the face.

What can it do for you ?

  • You can look younger!
  • You can feel better!
  • You can be healthier!
  • It can help reduce lines and wrinkles!
  • You can lie back and enjoy a wonderfully relaxing treatment!

Our faces are on view to the world around us all the time. In stressful times worry and fatigue cause tension in the muscles which results in habits of expression, often making our faces appear “set” or even hard.

This treatment breaks through that mask to reveal the softness and lightness which have become hidden. This invariably results in a face that looks younger. Clients sometimes say that they feel they are looking at their own face with different eyes.

Our faces change through the course of our lives and the natural loss of elasticity in the muscles combined with stress can result in lines, wrinkles and jowls – not what we want!

This treatment helps to relax and revitalise this very important and intensely personal area of ourselves. It is also extremely pleasurable, which we do want!

This treatment is beneficial for both men and women. I always include body points to support the constitution, strengthen the immune system and help to deal with any existing problems, for example indigestion, low energy, stress, helping you to feel and look well.

90 years of Remembrance 1918-2008

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Fourth stanza of ‘For the Fallen’ by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943)

Allergy Awareness

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

As a 45 year old man, I class my self as very lucky.

To my knowledge I am not aware that i suffer from of any allergies. Over the last few months I have met people that have to change there lifestyle dependant on the time of year or who are unable to visit friends because of their allergy to cats.

Common allergies are hay fever, eczema, asthma and food
allergies. Allergies are an abnormal response by the immune
system. Many people use the term “allergy” to describe any reactions by
the body, but that is not strictly true - the immune system must be
involved. Food intolerance is often mistaken for an allergy.

We have found that Allergy and food Intolerance Testing can help in isolating an issue, and homeopathy can help the individual become desensitised to an item.
