Laser & Light Therapy

alm_admin — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 17:01:32 +0000

Unlike surgical and aesthetic lasers that heat the tissue, Cold Laser Therapy (CLT) does not. It is also known as:

low-level laser therapy (LLLT)
low-power laser therapy (LPLT)
soft laser biostimulation
photobiomodulation

CLT is a laser therapy that stimulates healing by using specific wavelengths in the red spectrum known to stimulate healing, and directed to target areas.

Superficial tissues are commonly treated with wavelengths between 600 and 700 nm (nanometres). For deeper penetration, wavelengths between 780 and 950 nm are used.

The procedure is painless and non-invasive. The area treated is only exposed to the light for a few minutes.

CLT is used for tissue repair and relief from pain and inflammation.

A CLT treatment is combined with massage, physical manipulation and acupuncture point stimulation.

Typical uses are:

Sprains and strains
Pain management (joint, muscle, nerve)
Muscle spasm relief
Skin rejuvenation (scarring, burns etc.)
Acne and acne scars
Wound healing

Cold laser therapy should not be used on carcinomas or cancerous lesions. It should also be avoided on the thyroid or eyes. Since the effect of cold laser therapy on unborn children is unknown, it’s suggested that pregnant women avoid this type of treatment.

Remedial Massage & Lymphatic Drainage

alm_admin — Thu, 25 May 2017 07:50:41 +0000

Remedial massage incorporates different techniques to releases both muscles and fascia. It is never hard enough to hurt but is deep enough to go through the various layers of tissues and target the tensions that are trapped in the deeper structures of our musculature.

All our massage therapists are trained in a variety of bodywork modalities including Lymphatic Drainange. They apply and combine different techniques to their treatments for an effective and truly individual experience. However is also possible to book a targeted Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treatment to reduce lymphatic stagnation and lymphoedema

Reflexology

alm_admin — Wed, 24 May 2017 18:48:23 +0000

Foot therapy was practised by Native American tribes, and in Ancient Egypt. There is evidence that reflexology was developed as early as 4,000BC in China, where its use remains widespread. Schoolchildren in Beijing are taught the art of reflexology and encouraged to do it on each other.

Relexology treats the whole body via reflexes charted on the sole of the feet. Those area can be connected physiologically through nerve and connective tissue pathways or energetically through meridian.

A reflexologist “reads” the body via the feet – crunchiness, soreness or “hollowness” in an area indicates a problem in the related organ or body part – she then applies pressure to trigger the body’s healing processes.

The aim of reflexology is to restore balance in of the nervous system thus supporting body and organ function.

The effect of the treatment is a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing. Reflexology will help treat stress-relatedd symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia and fatigue. It is also effective with digestive and homnonal issues. I can also help with knee and back pain as it improves feet muscles, the positioning of feet and their smooth mouvement

Kinesiology and Emotional Balancing (EFT)

alm_admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 16:02:13 +0000

Kinesiology treatments are based on the premise that each and every one of our muscles is connected, through its own specific neurological pathway, to our memory and to our structural, physiological, emotional and energetic state. It is possible to interview individual muscles by measuring a muscle’s response to light pressure. This is referred to as muscle testing. The muscle will feel more or less able to resist depending on what element is being assessed and on any intervention applied to the test. This can be a nutritional supplement, a physical adjustment or a mental/emotional release.

There are many techniques available to rebalance mind and body using kinesiology. The muscle test makes it possible to assess the specific areas that need attention and to identify the best remedy. The aim is to facilitate healing by re-patterning the neurological connections that exist within our muscles and which conspire to create our habitual or reactive responses. In this way we can gain more control of our emotions, more freedom in our movements and more creativity with our choices.

Aromatherapy Massage

alm_admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:57:53 +0000

Aromatherapy combines smell with touch thus creating a potent combination of sensations and releasing deep seated memories, tensions and emotions stored in our body.

Smell is the most primitive of our senses and a single whiff of a particular sent can conjure up a multitude of memories. This happens because information is sent from the nose to the key brain regions involved in learning and memory.

I use essential oils I import from a French distillery based in Provence to ensure purity and freshness. They are organic where possible and traceable. Essential oils have many therapeutic applications beyond their effect on mood and well-being and I am qualified to advise you on essential oil use and preparations for more specific conditions.

Nutritional Counselling and Coaching

alm_admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:57:01 +0000

The subject of human nutrition and its implication in health and symptom management has been the topic of much research, debates and seemingly contradictory findings.
The concept of a healthy diet has evolved radically over the last 10 years and left most people very confused whilst doing nothing to stop the endemic spread of obesity, diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases.

The truth is that a healthy diet is a very personal thing which not only takes into account nutritional principles but taste, lifestyle and behaviour.
Nutritional counselling looks at bringing together the individual’s needs relative to metabolism, body type and genetic tendencies with a person’s unique relationship to food. Goals are clearly defined at the beginning of the treatment and strategies are discussed to include an extensive personalised nutritional programme, access to counselling and goal balancing.

I bring together 25 years of clinical experience with motivational techniques to achieve lasting changes and positive health enhancing dietary choices.

Colonic Hydrotherapy

Our approach to Colonic Hydrotherapy

You could be forgiven for thinking that a colonic is essentialy about cleasning waste and gases. Metaphors comparing the colon to a sewage system are common and do nothing to raise the profile of this little loved organ.

A Colonic, unlike an enema, is a lot more than a procedure to cleanse the bowel which is comparable to a form of visceral massage.

Washing out waste gives immediate relief from bloating and provides a useful window of oportunity to rectify constipation or/and excessive gas.

Additional benefits come from the gentle manipulations which are applied while tuning into the gut’s rythms. In this way, a colonic treatment can also profoundy benefit the tensions and distortions held in the gut which can impair its proper function.

Only disposable contact parts and tubing are used. The water is filtered and the pressure kept very low.

Attention to details

Whether you have had the treatment before or not, It is natural to feel aprehensive about colonic. The clinic and treatment rooms are kept meticulously clean and are private so the the experience can be relaxing, nurturing and above all one in which you feel safe and in control.

Colonic Implants

The walls of the colon easily absorb water soluble compounds and colonic irrigation can easily be a vector for herbal tinctures, colloidal minerals, salts, etc. Coffee Enema can be included in a colonic hydrotherapy treatment to stimulate hepatic release of bile. Coffee has a potent effect on liver detoxification and can enhance the effect of a colonic.
Colonic irrigation facilitates the introduction of a post-treatment rectal implant and makes it more comfortable as well as more potent. Probiotic, butyric acid and specific herbs can be used depending on therapeutic requirements.

Contra-indications

Those relate to the introduction of a short (2” inches long) and relatively small devise (3/4” diameter) into the rectum and include anal fissures and severe haemorrhoids.
The Amount of water introduced is only to bowel tolerance and rarely exceeds a couple of litters. However, this can be a problem with a compromised bowel wall, as in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (IBD), bowel cancer and medications/bowel pathology leading to reduced bowel resistance. Hernia and abdominal surgery should be healed before treatment. Caution must be applied with liver/kidney disease, pregnancy and hypertension.

A thorough medical history is taken and contra-indications reviewed before treatment.
