From
my extensive experience, I specialise my practice in the following
therapies for a more holistic and rounded aspect of treatment. |
|
It
all starts with an initial consultation, during which I will go through
a detailed medical questionnaire, examine the irides of the eyes, take a
blood-pressure reading and pulse and will also take a K-Test, which is a
nutritional intolerance test.
|
|
Iridology:
Is an important analytical
tool, as every part of the body is represented in the eye: the pupil,
the iris and the sclera. |
|
|
Remedial
Massage:
Through my work, I noticed that
more spinal deformities such as Scoliosis or Kyphosis are causing a
myriad of health problems. Although, ultimately, there may be a need for
surgical intervention in severe cases, an incredible amount can be done
before.
|
|
As I am always searching for ways
to improve my patient's problems, I came across the 3-dimensional physiotherapy scoliosis
treatment according to Katharina Schroth. I trained at the
world-renowned Asklepios Katharina-Schroth-Klinik in Germany. The
treatment is a combination of remedial massage, breathing exercises and
a specially designed exercise programme. The results are simply amazing.
I am happy to have been accepted on their register of qualified
therapists working with and being recommended by the clinic. |
|
Further
massage treatments available:
|
Lymphatic
drainage, Thai-Style massage, Indian-Head, Pre- & Post-Natal and
Baby massage (which can be a gift for life for the baby and a
boost against post-natal depression for the mother). |
Homoeopathy,
Spagyric, Herbalism and Aromatherapy:
Of
course, a wide range of these medicines and oils will always be an
integral part of the treatments. |
Colour
Therapy:
This is
another therapy which I find helpful. As the whole world, including
humans, consists of vibrations, it is only natural that, if there is an
imbalance, things - health - goes wrong. Certain colours have specific
vibrations and thus these can “repair” the imbalances.
|
Reflexology
is based on the principle that every part of the
body is connected by energy pathways which end in specific reflex areas
on the feet and hands. By working on these reflexes
in a precise and systematic manner, the therapist stimulates the body's
own natural healing abilities to restore balance and good health. |
| HealthPoint
needle-less electro-acupuncture and micro-current stimulation can
help with many health problems and pain relief, but can only be used
with other treatments, such as remedial massage, reflexology, etc. |
|
Dorn Method is a gentle
vertabra and joint treatment, akin to chiropractic and osteopathy.
It has been around on the Continent for some 30 years and is completely
safe and effective. The treatment includes a massage either before
or after treatment, self-help exercises |
|
The following treatments may
also be beneficial (please ask for further details): |
|
Traction table, Orthotics, Fra Infra-red
Aqua Detox, Aqua-Detox,
and Fra Infrared Sauna.
|
|
|
The Swim-Spa |
|
Yoga:
These classes - on a one-to-one
basis or in a group, are a welcome link between the practice and
wellness aspects of my work. The latter is especially appreciated by our
Bed &Breakfast guests (see the B&B brochure). Although one does
not have to stay in order to receive treatments, it can be of special
benefit for those coming for the scoliosis treatment programme.
|
| Hatha
Yoga, is a major branch of yoga, which was developed by Goraksha and
other adepts c.1000 CE. It emphasises the physical aspects of the
transformative path, notably through postures (asana) and cleansing
techniques (shodhana), but always with breath control (pranayama).
Please ask about one-to-one sessions or classes. |
 |
Please note:
With all these treatments, it
should be borne in mind that only a course of treatments will bring
long-term relief or improvements. Also, as with all holistic treatments,
symptoms can get worse before they get better. However, even a single
treatment can create a feeling of well-being and be of benefit.
It is not advisable to have a
massage treatment, if you are on anti-biotics. Please ask before making
an appointment. May I also advise not to eat approx. 1 hour before
treatments. Please bring any X-rays or scans relating to your condition
with you if you have them. If you wear contact lenses please bring your
glasses with you for the initial consultation.
