Reflexology Worldwide

Reflexology is one of the oldest forms of natural medicine that uses the feet to diagnose and relieve physiological imbalances, restoring general health and well being. In reflexology every organ, gland and structure in the body can be mapped out on the soles of the feet or the palms of the hands. These specific areas are known as reflex points, and when stimulated with applied pressure techniques, the reflex is able to affect its corresponding organ, gland or structure, restoring an uninhibited flow of energy to optimise self-healing. General benefits of reflexology include: Stimulation of the body’s self-healing mechanism by encouraging optimum functioning of all physiological systems Stimulation of the thousands of nerve ending in the feet which in turn brings awareness to the composition and balance of the entire musculoskeletal system, as the feet affect the nature of our structure Reducing tension by relaxing the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Stimulation of blood flow, helping to clear away accumulated waste products and toxins. Some waste products appear in the form of crystals made up of uric acid and calcium. These feel like grains of sugar or sand under the skin and usually accumulate around the joints. By working on them, they can be broken down, carried away in the blood and flushed out of the system. Reflexology can be helpful in a wide range of conditions including: migraine, back pain, sinus problems, menstrual problems and kidney disorders.

Hypnotherapy is a natural and powerful therapy that is able to create effective change for resolving a variety of problems such as phobias, panic attacks, obsessive behaviour, trauma, emotional concerns, certain allergies, and skin problems, lack of motivation, smoking and weight control. Hypnotherapy involves teaching clients how to access a state of calm where they remain totally in control, but are able to dip into a world of complete physical and emotional relaxation. At this point positive suggestions, which can be agreed beforehand, are given. These work on the subconscious mind and help steer towards a chosen solution by creating inner motivation to affect a change. The subconscious mind also controls much of the body’s functioning and welfare, therefore it is possible to “re-programme” body systems back towards health. Hypnotherapy is totally safe and cannot be used to force any change against someone’s wishes. It will only create the effect that the person undergoing hypnosis allows it to have. Whilst this protects each individual, it also means that the desired outcome has to totally match the client’s needs in order to be fully accessed. Part of the process, therefore, is to establish appropriate and realistic goals prior to embarking on a course of solutions. Once this has been decided, the hypnotherapist will work out with the client the various stages that make up the course of therapy. This will give an indication of the progress expected. Hypnotherapists may often combine their therapy with other therapeutic or counselling skills in order to give a more rounded approach. Some cases, such as stopping smoking, may only require a few sessions while more deeply rooted concerns will take longer. Hypnotherapy is a proven and lasting tool for change and leaves the client with a number of beneficial techniques to empower them in other areas of their life.

Acne Clear Laser Treatment Effective alternative to daily pills and creams Acne is a common condition characterized by obstructed sebaceous glands, pimples and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Acne does not only begin in adolescence and sometimes it can affect adults which is becoming more common. When severe, acne can often result in scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring, if not properly treated. Until recently, patients with persistent, moderate acne have been treated with only topical or sometimes systemic antibiotics. Recent studies have demonstrated, however, that certain discrete spectra can trigger endogenic porphyrins that naturally destroy P. acnes bacteria — and in just a fraction of the time it typically takes for antibiotics to work. Within eight brief acne laser treatments, over just four weeks, Harmony®XL‘s AFT can provide significant improvement. This is three times faster than common antibiotics and topical. Patients should achieve 80% clearance. The treatment can take around 30 minutes or less depending on area. This will be discussed on consultation. Technology in use Clear inflammatory acne lesions without drugs or undesirable side effects using the HarmonyXL AFT laser handpiece. Intense blue wavelengths in the range of 420-950 nm target the porphyrins produced as part of the normal metabolism of P. acnes bacteria. The interaction of the intense blue light and the porphyrins creates singlet oxygen that rapidly destroys the bacteria without damaging the surrounding tissue. Key advantages for patients • Quicker results than pharmaceuticals • Safe treatment with 80% or more acne clearance on average • 8 or more treatments but some clients need considerably less. 8 treatments is the average course.
