PHYSIOTHERAPY
Body not quite doing what it ought to? Get yourself fine tuned and back to full functional fitness with some hands on therapy designed to optimise your performance and minimise (or even rid you of) any pain or discomfort. Treatments are broad ranging and can be used to promote recovery from injury, reduce stress, improve quality of life and enhance physical function, increase range of movement and much more. You can change your car, you get one body. Love it. A lot.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Wake up a bit stiff? Trouble moving comfortably? Headaches? Keen to raise performance levels? Sports Massage could be exactly what you need. Get those lumps and bumps ironed out (an actual iron will not be used) out and feel the benefit of a body whose muscles are happy and willing.
ACUPUNCTURE
Sometimes a little prick here and there is all you need to lift your mood and put a spring back in your step. This healthcare system has been around for nearly 2000 years and nothing lasts that long, unless it works. Benefits include improved physical mental and emotional wellness.
BEAUTY TREATMENTS
You’ve worked so hard to get all lovely and gorgeous on the inside and out, why not treat yourself to a little touch up on the old body work. Maybe a little less hair there, or some brighter teeth here. A polish, a paint job, a buff a de-fluff, go on you’ve earned it.
“During this century in the western world, infectious diseases (those which are passed on from one person to the next) have declined dramatically, but health problems brought about by lack of exercise have increased.
Charles Corbin (an American health expert) refers to these as “hypokinetic diseases” which he says are due to lack of activity. This can be accounted for, to some extent by the change from jobs needing physical effort to more sedentary occupations (e.g. office jobs).”

LIFESTYLE
An active and balanced lifestyle can perfectly compliment a happy and healthy existence. The right balance will differ for all of us but there are essential components that we all need to consider that could include, work, family, exercise, nutrition, rest and hydration.
ACTIVITY
“Walking should be a primary care trusts first line of treatment” These are the thoughts of Strategic Health Adviser for Natural England, Dr William Bird MBE; such is the considered value of regular activity to our physical wellbeing. If you love your body, move your body.
EXERCISE
“The best exercise; is the one you will do”. The very wise Bob Hope said that. And he was very right. Forcing yourself to do something you don’t enjoy won’t last very long, so take time to find activities that you do enjoy and can happily commit to long term.
NUTRITION
The human race has been around now for many thousands of years. Diet cola, low fat spread and slimming clubs date back little more than 30 years by comparison. It is poor lifestyles that put us at risk of unnecessary disease, tiredness and are to blame for our additional layers of lard.
HYDRATION
Think of your body to be like a bowl of fish. Looking in to the bowl we might consider the fish to be the important things, but if the water gets old, or there’s not enough of it, the fish will suffer. Keep yourself topped up with plenty of the fresh stuff and as well as burning a few extra calories with additional toilet visits, you can enjoy feeling energised and vital.
THERAPY
This can be physical or mental, or both. Developing an understanding of your body, and learning to communicate with it, can help you achieve things you might never have thought possible. Freedom of movement, clarity of thought, confidence and living without pain can only enhance your quality of life.
