Introducing Healing Naturally's Resident Remedial Massage Therapist Ken Cheel
Ken Cheel has studied complementary medicine for many years and has completed his diploma in Remedial Massage including Craniosacral Therapy. Through many hours of clinical experience Ken is a confident professional Remedial Massage Therapist who is at the cutting edge of the latest techniques.
Clients continually experience relief from chronic pain, often having tried other forms of therapy with little success.
Ken has had a long term interest in the wellness arena, and service to the community. In 1985-86 he was a president of a Kiwanis Club. In 1992 Ken was recognized by The Priory of St John Ambulance for his work as chair of the Education Committee of the Training Branch of St John Ambulance (SA) and his years of service as a lecturer and examiner of teachers of First Aid throughout the state. Ken is a fully qualified SLM Practitioner, having studied SLM Bodywork (Myotherapy) and pain relief techniques with Steve Lockhart. This involves whole-body muscle balancing, which is noted for its ability to relieve all types of muscle pain, notably chronic back pain. However, it is as a practitioner that Ken excels. His clients continually report the benefits and relief they obtain through his massage. Ken is also a registered Provider for Work Cover Claims.
Remedial Massage
Remedial Therapy & Pain Release
A Full Body Massage is used to balance painful parts of the body with all the other muscles and joints. For instance, if there is a spasm in a back muscle which is being anchored by a tightness in a hamstring or calf, working on the hamstring or calf, as well as the back, is essential to relieve the back pain.
Remedial massage is combined with myotherapy and acupressure techniques to put the body into a balanced state. Only then can the body’s own natural healing process work in the way it was designed to operate.
For the body to operate at its maximum potential it must receive adequate, appropriate nourishment. Information about nutrition, diets and supplements can be obtained from Annabel – the Naturopath in our practice.
Myofascial Release
Gentle, prolonged stretching of connective tissue is used to bring about changes in posture and relieve the causes of chronic pain syndromes, which have often been troubling the client for many years.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy helps to assess the state of the Craniosacral System and then to bring it into balance. The system incorporates the skull, spine and sacrum (tailbone).
A Craniosacral Therapist is attuned to the rhythm and movements of the Craniosacral System. The dural tube encases the skull and spine, and attaches at key places in the skull and at the sacrum. As the cerebral spinal fluid produced in the brain flows back and forth between the head and tailbone, movement of the bones occur.
When a trauma or imbalance occurs to the body it can affect other parts of the body as well. So if, for example, an injury occurs in the knee, the effects can also be felt in the bones and muscles of the spine, back, and head.
The Craniosacral System influences most of the other systems in the body, allowing Craniosacral Therapy to be effective in treating many health problems.
Craniosacral therapy has helped many people with migraines, sinus headaches, fibromyalgia, anxiety, insomnia, TMJ (jaw joint), sciatica, chronic pain, and stress. It has also helped many with ADD and ADHD.
In deeper work, bone (osseous) structures are used as levers. Bones, and the tissues connected to them, are repositioned, bringing about a change in pain levels and an improvement in posture.
