TESTIMONIAL

 

"Chris has changed my life. After suffering chronic neck pain for 20 years (since I was 15 years old), I was convinced that my whiplash injury would haunt me forever. But through my treatments with Chris, I have been introduced to a whole new way of being and a whole new truth which has freed my body from the pain. My treatments have helped me on so many different levels and the emotional and physical healing has been incredible. Even at my lowest point earlier this year, when I was battling a major event in my life, it was the treatments that got me through. It’s a journey and I am on board now. I can honestly saying that my random appointment at a Stones Corner clinic a few years ago, was the catalyst to healing my neck pain, changing my life and discovering my sense of ‘self’.''

SO WHY CHOOSE MUSCULOSKELETAL THERAPY? 

Because for many people it has become important to actually feel the therapy working. Musculoskeletal Therapy is a hands on therapy and has been formulated from the latest scientific research on the therapeutic benefits of a variety of massage and other specialised techniques. Musculoskeletal Therapy uses a holistic approach in targeting pain, dysfunction and disability taking into account the relationship between all systems of the body, and more specifically, the muscles, bones, fascia, joint complexes and the overall balance of tensile forces throughout the body. In today’s world many people feel isolated and detached due to the lack of attention and acknowledgement health professionals, friends and family are giving them concerning their well-being.

Natural Therapy, such as Musculoskeletal Therapy, has become a necessity for the purpose of bridging this void. You can feel instant relief from stress, pain, worry, tiredness and irritability just by being treated with honest concern and time, within the surroundings of a true healing environment. The use of massage itself is a natural and intuitive healing remedy. If a child falls to the ground and hurts themselves the parent will automatically rub the injured site to assist the pain.

Musculoskeletal Therapy is simply a more refined, systematic and holistic approach to this age old remedy of caring touch. However it should not be undermined. The appropriate use of Musculoskeletal Therapy techniques can manage, treat or cure a wide range of conditions, some of which seem extraordinary.

WHY IS MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH SO IMPORTANT?

It is essential the muscular and skeletal system is balanced and functional to ensure the health and well-being of the entire body system. Many disease processes are due to poor posture, chronic pain, chronic inflammation, spinal misalignment, blood flow restrictions, chronic emotional disturbances in the cellular memory and the list goes on. Musculoskeletal techniques are specifically designed to manage and correct these problems.

Stress levels play an important role to the health of the musculoskeletal system also. When we are stressed, our breathing becomes more rapid and shallow, our hearts work harder and digestion slows down. More and more evidence is pointing at stress as being at the root of many illnesses and dis-ease. Musculoskeletal therapy techniques provide an affective way of relieving stress ensuring dis-ease processes are prevented.

HOW DOES MUSCULOSKELETAL THERAPY WORK?

The key role Musculoskeletal Therapy plays is to reunite the body and mind, awakening and revitalising energy and well-being. The hands on treatment techniques utilised excite higher awareness of many bodily systems bringing light to dysfunctional patterns which allows the healing process to take place freely and naturally.

It is important to understand the true nature of how dis-ease in the body occurs to comprehend how amazing results take place due to correctly applied massage techniques. The subconscious aspect of the brain has a very important role in health because its purpose is to maintain the balance of all the things you don’t think about like posture, heart beat, breathing, regeneration, immunity etc. When the body and mind is overloaded, i.e. with high toxicity levels, acute and chronic pain, chronic inflammation or stress, the natural balancing mechanisms of the body become overwhelmed.

Over time those mechanisms will fail resulting in unwanted tension and pain which can lead to many pain syndromes, dysfunctional patterns and dis-ease. Musculoskeletal Therapy techniques assists the bodies natural healing mechanisms by drawing the brains attention to core areas of imbalance, which in turn maximise the body’s ability to restore balance and heal. Treating the root cause of the problem has a ripple affect on the entire body allowing holistic health benefits.

Additionally, the techniques used promote natural feel good chemicals called endorphins which relax the body and mind normalising respiratory function (breathing), which has huge implications on stress levels, detoxification and sleep. Reduction of tight and spasm muscles allows blood to flow freely again which results in increased nutrient absorption and detoxification of waste material. The effect of Musculoskeletal Therapy with both increased blood circulation and breathing alone enhances greater immune, lymph, endocrine, and nervous system processes which are essential to the bodies biochemistry and overall health.

 

TESTIMONIAL

 

Thank you so much for enabling my wrists to heal progressively. Having been to see other practitioners and losing heart with how to strengthen them (as well as being confused with what the root cause could be) you gave me insight into what was happening from a 'complete mind body' perspective. I could understand the connections from my wrists into my body and vice versa which made simple sense! I felt a huge shift after my first session with you and this has paved the way for continued improvement and self help.
What sets Chris's practice apart is his ability to draw on a depth of knowledge from both Western and Eastern 'methods/ health systems' in order to find the best way to heal your body. He will take care to look at your musco skeletal system, how it functions and how each part of your body is working together. He will integrate this with dynamic and subtle energy systems such as meridiens and chakra's to understand the whole system, as well as taking the time to work intuitively with you to understand where you are and what the root causes may be.
What amazes me about Chris's approach is that he reminds you of how 'unique' you are; completely and utterly different to anyone else. By treating you as a totally new person (and not a text book patient) you truly receive a treatment that works deeply, holistically and specifically for your body- from inside to out. It is incredibly refreshing to have someone care about how your mind and body is functioning and to actually trust in the treatment methods chosen for you. Hallelujah!
