Are you having pain in your neck? back? shoulders?  Let’s have a think about what’s going on…  the muscles are tightening, they are getting dehydrated and ‘gluey’ and they shorten.  They start pinching the nerves, start pulling the ribs out of whack, create nerve pain…  goodness me, given that 70% of Aussies have back and neck pain regularly – we could all do with a fantastic massage regularly…

Our massage therapists have lots of experience in different techniques that will start to reset your muscles back into normal shape.  Given their nutritional and naturopathic experience they may also recommend products that help with chronic pain such as:

• Fibroplex for muscle pain and fibromyalgia
• Kaprex for chronic pain
• Inflavonoid Intensive care for acute pain..

It really isn’t that hard to get muscle problems, nerve pain, fibromyalgia on the right track to health.  We’ll probably recommend a programme which will even save you lots of $$$ too…  but that’s up to you.

Have you ever tried remedial massage cupping techniques?  I was in China recently and met a man who has a ‘cupping massage’ once per month.  He does a lot of travel in air-conditioned buses, and finds that once per month have a ‘cupping massage’ improves his muscular tension and pain hugely.  His idea was that the cupping techniques help to remove the built up ‘cold air/wind energy’ in his muscles and allow heat to flow again.

Regardless of how it works, cupping techniques have great health benefits for muscular pain.  Give it a try sometime!

And now, have you tried hot stone massage??  Mmmmm, Katherine does the most fantastic hot stone massage which blisses you out and destresses to the max!  Hot Stone Massage is a beautiful relaxing type of massage, and utilises both moving and stationery hot stones in order to relax the body to the full.

So give us a call – if you’re in pain, if you need some TLC and relaxation or if you’ve just been looking for a fantastic clinic to look after your healthcare needs!

Firstly, what is polymyalgia rheumatica?

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a disorder of the muscles and joints characterized by pain and stiffness, affecting both sides of the body, and involving the shoulders, arms, neck, and buttock areas. Patients with polymyalgia rheumatica are typically over the age of 50 years.

What causes polymyalgia rheumatica?

The cause of polymyalgia rheumatica is not known. Recent research has indicated that genetic (inherited) factors play a role in who becomes afflicted with the illness. Theories have included viral stimulation of the immune system in genetically susceptible individuals. Rarely, polymyalgia rheumatica is associated with a cancer. In this setting, the cancer may be initiating an inflammatory immune response to cause the polymyalgia rheumatica symptoms.

What can New Leaf Natural Therapies do to help you???

Firstly, MusculoSkeletal Therapy is absolutely necessary in Polymyalgia rheumatica.  As MusculoSkeletal Therapy deals with pain with ligaments, tendons and muscular pain, this is first-line treatment for P.R..

Naturopathically we have natural pain relievers such as Kinex and Kaprex (often used together) to reduce overall inflammation in the body.  We can do many tests to see the inflammation reduce as we get you healthy!

Remedial Massage is very different today than it was 30 years ago.  Today is becoming more and more recognised as a way of repairing muscles and tendons:  these can be damaged through many problems in daily life – the product of overuse, trauma or bad posture.

Remedial massage involves a number of applied techniques involving deep pressure, trigger points released and longitudinal strokes on shortened and tight muscles to allow proper function and restore muscle strength.

Remedial Massage Technique: It uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body’s own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium, usually oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint are deeply penetrated. Passive stretching moves are also used.

Benefits of Remedial Massage

Key benefits of Remedial Massage include: the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic relaxation.

Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions often addressed with Remedial Massage include Fibrositis, Spondylitis, Arthritis, frozen shoulder, muscular cramps, Whiplash, muscular atrophy, sports and dancing injuries.

The great news is that there is help for depression and mood problems.  There are very specific things we can do to help with depression and mood disorders.  Our clinic has been dealing with depression and mood disorders since 1995 with great success.  So if you are looking for another avenue to try, then look no further.  We are a specialist naturopathic and kinesiology clinic with plenty of knowledge and experience with depression and mood disorders.

Basically depression and mood disorders are about hormonal imbalance (that’s the chemical imbalance they’re always talking about).  Hormones are made of good fats and proteins and other nutrients.  So when we’re talking about improving depression and mood disorders we have a system to deal with it.

Here are 5 keys to improving depression and mood disorders.

1. Find out which nutritional deficiencies you have and deal with those.  We have tests, questionnaires and processes to find out where the clinical nutritional deficiencies are and high quality supplements to improve these shortfalls.  Depression and mood disorders may be linked to magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, iron, B12, folate and other B Complex, essential fatty acids, to name a few.
2. We have products which improve specific hormonal/neurotransmitter deficiencies such as serotonin, dopamine and gaba.  Proxan is a natural anti-depressant which improves serotonin levels, Gaba is a natural anti-anxiety capsule which improves gaba, the calming hormone, Prozestan is a natural supplement which improves dopamine, which helps give us the umph to get through the day, Stressan and Relaxan help to calm mood disorders which are linked to hormonal imbalances.
3. We use kinesiology and/or frequency specific microcurrent to reset/reboot the nervous system and to ‘open up’ the conscious areas of the brain, which are the areas where happiness and feeling optimistic and looking forward to life, takes place.  Kinesiology and frequency specific microcurrent help to diffuse deep survival patterns which have been running for weeks, months or decades.  These are gentle processes which make huge changes to the way the brain functions.
4. We need to reduce inflammation of the brain.  It has been medically proven that depression and mood disorders are inflammatory conditions:  the brain and spinal cord are inflamed, this disrupts the nerve conduction and makes it harder for many processes to function well.  Inflammation also eats up many nutrients which are also necessary for creating our feel good hormones – therefore the process of being inflamed (which is a proven medical fact in depression and mood disorders) means that we have less serotonin, dopamine and gaba.
5. Reducing pain and increasing relaxation. Many people with chronic depression and mood disorders are in pain (or take pain drugs regularly so therefore don’t feel pain) and their relaxation time isn’t actually relaxing.  We recommend Remedial Yoga and Meditation Classes, infrared saunas, relaxing and lymphatic drainage massage and supplements to help REAL relaxation and REAL reduction in pain.

So, don’t just cover up your depression and mood disorders, come in and let’s fix your depression and mood problems today!

Normal medical tests often miss out on some basic information that can really create an environment in your body where arthritis will just continue. Our naturopathic tests such as live blood analysis, our urine and blood tests and our cellular analysis (VLA) give loads of information that we can then work on with you to improve!

1. how acidic are you???  We often see people 200 x more acidic then they should be, that means the minerals (calcium & magnesium) are being pulled from your bones, making them more brittle;
2. how hydrated are you?  The less hydrated the more acidic and inflamed your body is – see point 1!!
3. where is your BMI?  If your body mass index is over 30 (20% higher than perfect weight), the body is an inflammatory, stress creating, insulin resistant machine.  That means that you’ll be more inflamed and acidic…

Are you seeing a pattern here?  Therefore we work on, you guessed it, inflammation and acidity!!!  Our frequency specific microcurrent machine helps to target specific areas of the body and reduces inflammation such as joints, tendons, bursa, joints, vertabra etc.

Talk to us today, and fix your arthritis!  In our Chronic Pain Programme (payment plan) you also get other benefits such as:

• 1/2 price massage therapies with Katheine Lynn & Cherice Day (until we are fully booked)
• 1/2 price kinesiology sessions
• 1/2 price infrared saunas
• 1/2 price allergy testing and treatments with Jacqueline Dekoke and lots more!!!
