Over the years a variety of problems in the musculo-skeletal area, have been improved with kinesiology and massage therapies by Madonna and New Leaf Natural Therapies, including things that have been debilitating for many years!
My main pains have been in the lower back area, the bit between the shoulder blades, the knees and many, debilitating cramps! It had even been so bad that ambulances had been called on several occasions in order to help with the cramps, now they are a thing of the past (as long as I stay on fibroplex!!!).

Hi. I’ve had massages with both Cherice Day and Katherine Lynn in the past few weeks in order to sort out (mainly) a lower back issue. No surprise was that they found other areas needing work as well. Cherice did Chinese cupping & remedial massage. I found she could easily massage deeper after allowing the ‘cups’ to do their work. I’ve also had a hot stone massage from Cherice in the past, which is just bliss!
The past few days I’ve had 2 massages with Katherine Lynn and she’s worked through much more than my lower back. Katherine has used techniques to. It feels that we’ll need to do more work on my lower back, although I’ve already felt quite a big improvement. loosen my shoulders, my neck and my back and hips

Chinese Cupping Techniques: by Katherine Lynn & Nathan Leach
What can Chinese Cupping Techniques be used for…
Respiratory Diseases: For chronic bronchitis and asthma
Digestive Diseases: For dysentery, early morning diarrhea, and acute and chronic gastritis
Pain Syndromes
· Shoulder blade
· Loins
· Head
· Soft tissue injury: treating local pressure pain points and area of swelling
Gynecological Disorders
· Infertility and irregular menstruation
· Leukorrhea
· Uterine cramps
Common cold
Insomnia
Cupping is an ancient Chinese practice where the cup is suctioned, applied to the skin, and the pressure in the cup is reduced (by using change in heat or by suctioning out air), so that the skin and outer layers of the muscles are drawn up and into the cup. Sometimes the cup may be moved while the suction of skin is still active, causing pulling of the skin and muscle (gliding cupping).
This treatment has similarities to other massage techniques, such as the rapid skin pinching along the back. In that practice, the skin is pinched, sometimes at specific points (e.g., bladder meridian points), until a redness is generated. Cupping is applied by acupuncturists to certain acupuncture points, as well as to regions of the body that are affected by pain (where the pain is deeper than the tissues to be pulled).
When the cups are moved along the surface of the skin, the treatment is similar to sand scraping, a folk remedy of southeast Asia which is often carried out by scraping the skin with a coin or other object with the intention of breaking up stagnation. Movement of the cups is a gentler technique than sand scraping, as a lubricant allows the cup to slide. Still, a certain amount of bruising is expected both from fixed position cupping (especially at the site of the cup rim) and with movement of the cups (up to 2 weeks of bruising should be expected after cupping massage techniques).
Traditional cupping, with use of heated cups, also has some similarity to moxibustion therapy. Heating of the cups was the method used to obtain suction: the hot air in the cups has a low density and, as the cups cool with the opening sealed by the skin, the pressure within the cups declines, sucking the skin into it. In this case, the cups are hot and have a stimulating effect something like that of burning moxa wool.

Remedial Massage notes from the desk of Cherice Day and Katherine Lynn.
Massage therapy is an art. It’s a skill and it needs to be a passion. Good remedial massage therapists meet a client and create a plan of attack in order to solve a physical problem; frozen shoulder; knee issues; back or neck or shoulder pain – whatever the problem, it needs skilled hands to sort it out.
Clients often come in thinking that an issue will be sorted out in one session. Then it comes down to what has caused the problem in the first place as to how long it takes to fix.
What causes chronic pain?
- muscles being too acidic (therefore you probably need a high quality magnesium such as fibroplex powder) from lactic acid;
- muscles being too dehydrated (most Aussies don’t drink enough water!) Coffee, tea, soft drinks, white sugar and flour products all dehydrate our bodies;
- structural problems: sitting badly, sleeping badly, exercising badly, not stretching, not being able to relax, nutritional deficiencies…
- immune activation within muscles such as fibromyalgia (the immune system attacks the muscle fibres); auto-immunity in problems such as Rheumatoid Arthritis
These reasons give us an idea why 1 massage isn’t always the only answer. Cherice & Katherine will put together a plan of attack so that you can start healing from the inside out. If there’s more of a health picture that needs naturopathic attention, you will be referred to Madonna Guy ND or Jacqueline Dekoke ND.
Yours in health
Cherice & Katherine

Today Alex and I discussed chronic pain with a few callers.. A few thoughts on pain:
1 in 5 Australians have chronic pain at some stage in their lives, so pain management is a huge challenge for many health professionals. Pain can come from so many sources, and is often linked to emotional pain and traumas in our lives: deaths of a loved one, an operation, a nasty viral infection, financial difficulties. Neck and shoulder pain, for example, is notoriously worse when someone is stressed. Eventually this can lead to chronic pain for which medical science has no answers for other than stronger and stronger drug therapies.
Natural pain management works to reduce irritation to the nerves; regenerate the areas which are degenerating and re-mineralise the body. This combination helps to reduce acidity, reduce pain and increase longevity. Drug pain management suppresses the symptoms allowing nerve damage, acidity and degeneration to continue.
New Leaf Natural Therapies has many treatments for pain management: naturopathic supplements; frequency specific microcurrent; remedial massage; infrared saunas; structural kinesiology and acupuncture. It’s time to get to the cause of health problems, not just suppress them!

You can have Pain Relief without drugs at New Leaf Natural Therapies. Our lovely clinic in Wynnum provides a range of services: if you live elsewhere here are some ideas for you to look for when finding a clinic to take care of your pain – you too, can have pain relief without drugs, pain relief without medication!
Find the reasons for your pain and FIX THEM! What? There are reasons for my pain? Find a clinic that can do some scientific testing/treatments in order to achieve the following outcomes…
- How acidic are you? Knowing this number (both saliva and urinary) and working towards the optimal ph (7.2-7.35) will halt the destruction of joints, bones and organs. Acidity creates an environment where just about every health problem can be created. Jacqueline Dekoke ND recently had a client with massive health issues and got his acidity from 5.5 to 7.4 within 4 weeks. Then the healing can begin!
- How much excess fluid is your body holding? Our VLA or Bio-impedance analysis machine let’s us know EXACTLY how much fluid is inside the cells and how much fluid is on the outside. This also let’s us know how much excess fluid your body is holding. WHY? Because the body is clever, and it’s trying to dilute toxins, acidity and inflammation. We find that this process takes some time: we have trillions of cells in our body and to detoxify each one, takes a lot of time!
- Massage therapies: Find yourself a fabulous massage therapist, like Ms Katherine Lynn or Ms Cherice Day, someone who can put together a treatment plan for you. If your massage therapist has a plan – then work with them and trust them. If it doesn’t feel like they’re helping you with your pain relief, then find someone else. For example, with Alison’s combination of reflexology, remedial massage, shiatsu, lymphatic drainage and acupuncture, she’s a perfect choice – find a passionate massage therapist who’ll get your pain issues under control.
- How inflamed are you? We use several testing processes to find out how inflamed you are: Live Blood Analysis (signs such as fibrin, rouleaux, blood stickiness, protoplasts, red crystals…); bio-impedance analysis (let’s us know how leaky and stressed your cells are). Once you know how inflamed your body is you can use natural anti-inflammatories with NO SIDE EFFECTS such as kinex AI, kaprex and inflavonoid intensive care. We also use Frequency Specific Microcurrent for reducing inflammation and regeneration of joints, ligaments and tendons.
It’s time to find your own natural therapies clinic that can do that for you!
