Fascial Manipulation
This method has been created by Luigo Stecco, an Italian physiotherapist. There is no other treatment like it out there.
I am a certified fascial manipulation specialist, which required me learning 3 levels over 2.5 years and then completing an exam in Italy. At present there are only 2 of us in the UK with this qualification.
It is such an impressive treatment, Stecco is well known within the industry for his outstanding contribution to this invention. Here is an understanding of what it is all about:
Acupuncture and Naturopathy
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for centuries. The body has channels known as meridians. The channels correspond to 12 organs in the body and extra channels too. Each organ has points along the meridian; some have up to 57, others 19. Each point has many functions.
The body also has qi and blood circulating through the channels. In TCM, Qi is the energy source of the body; blood is the mother of qi. Yin and Yang balance the body, Yin is night, and Yang is day. TCM is all about getting the balance right in all of the above.
Iridology
“by the way of definition, iridology is a science whereby the doctor or operator can tell from the markings or signs in the iris of the eye the reflex condition of the various organs of the body.
In other words, it is the science of determining acute, sub-acute, chronic, and destructive stages in the affected organs of the body through their corresponding areas in the iris.
Drug deposits, inherent weaknesses and living habits are also revealed in the iris of the eye.” (Jensen 1983, foreword)
Women’s Health
For those that are fortunate to carry to full term there can be changes within the body post-partum. From their periods becoming more heavier and clotting, back pain and potentially postpartum depression. Some women are not able to conceive, and some cannot carry to full term. Sometimes from investigation there is no complete understanding why. IVF can become a choice for some to explore.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a treatment that not just sporty people use!
Lots of people have now cottoned on to the fact that this is the best form of massage to have as we look at the reasons why your body is behaving the way it is.
With each client there is an assessment. This is there to provide me with some idea of how your body is mechanically working.
Stretching Advice
Many of my clients need help and advice on how to stretch.
So what better way to help them and you by showing some stretches to help improve your flexibility and also prevent injuries!
There are quite a few stretches with photos in this section and I have named them in basic terminology, for you to understand.
