Bill Horton Healing Massage & Natural Therapies

LIVING WITH VILLAGE HEALERS IN INDIA AND WATCHING THEM PRACTICE THEIR CRAFT, INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A HEALER.

In the mid 1970’s for a period of 3 years I lived in an Ashram in Pune(near Bombay) in India with an enlightened spiritual master called ‘Osho’. He gave powerful discourses on many enlightened beings that have graced this earth since time began (including Buddha and Jesus).

During this time I learnt and practised:Vipassana and Zazen meditation techniques; Yoga; Tai Chi;Kirtan and Chanting. Then I travelled for some years through south east Asia where I lived in many Indian villages,towns and cities. I observed that when the village people would get sick or suffer an injury, they would immediately go to their local community Healer(rather than going to the town Doctor).

This Healer would often be a village elder highly skilled in one or more of the following: Remedial Massage; Shiatsu; Acupuncture;Reiki; Herbal and Nutritional Medicine. He would prescribe pure natural unprocessed foods, fruits and vegetables, wholegrains and herbs to heal a sick body.

He would sometimes use devotional prayers, chanting of religious mantras and meditations in his healing sessions. His people would call him their Sharman, or their Sufi Master, or their Medicine Man, and he would generally come from a long line of Healers. He possessed much wisdom and knowledge, and was able to keep the peace and resolve conflicts within his community.

READ ON FOR A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE THERAPIES THAT I OFFER:

SHIATSU/ACUPRESSURE

Shiatsu/Acupressure is a Japanese Remedial Massage technique. By using varying pressures and stretches to the energy Iines(known as meridians) running through your body, I am able to release tense, stagnant muscle/tendon strain(Jitsu) and build up weak empty areas(Kyo). Keeping the circulation moving by making sure blood and lymph vessels are able to effectively deliver the necessary nutrients and drain waste products through your entire system, Shiatsu maintains your body mind, strengthens your immune system and enables Self healing to occur. During thIs treatment I am constantly ‘listening’ to your body mind responses with the aim of identifying disharmony and imbalances that occur, and then assisting you to regain your natural state of well being. I aim to treat not only your presenting symptoms (eg.migraine) but also looks for the underlying cause or causes(eg. enlarged toxic liver and chronically acidic bowel. My approach to healing is very ‘Wholistic’ — I see ‘dis-ease’ and its symptoms as en&rgy imbalances/blockages in your body mind, and rather than suppressing or esing symptoms temporarily,I believes in focusing on the treatment of you as a whole person by taking into account your physical, mental and emotional state. I select from a number of treatment options to clear blockages to the flow of blood, lymph fluids, and energy (chi) or (ki) between your organs and their meridian pathways. This then brings yourbody mind into a state of harmony and balance where you are completely pain free and experiencing a sense of well being and happiness.

MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE(MLDM)

MLDM is gentle yet extremely powerful modality in which I use a series of directional, segmented and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques of light pressure to move the skin in the direction of lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels which carry white blood cells(Lymphocytes from the lymph nodes ) for immunity against infection and to carry cellular waste back into the bloodstream for disposal. Lymphoedema is an accumulation of excess lymph fluid and swelling of subcutaneous tissues due to the destruction of lymph vessels. The lymph pump flows in one direction towards the heart and pumping of the lymph occurs during exercise, breathing and Lymphatic Massage. MLDM can increase lymph flow up to 25 times the usual and is extremely beneficial for the following: Post operational edema. ; Bursitis, Dislocation, Whiplash, Fibrositis, Tendonitis.; Unexplained swelling of hand and feet.; For those on the verge of an illness.; Sports injuries.; For pregnant women-very effective and entirely safe.; Sinus.; Acne.; Cellulite.; Sluggishness and poor immune function.

REIKI

Reiki is the name given to a simple yet profound system of natural healing for body and mind. Rei means ‘universal’, and ki(in Japanese) and chi(in Chinese) means ‘Life Force Energy.’ Many people also regard Reiki as a path to personal and spiritual growth. Although most people cannot see chi, modern physics tells us that beyond the level of the smallest particles of matter, energy exists everywhere, in the air we breathe, in our food and water, and in light from the sun. Even inanimate objects possess a low or slow frequency of energy. There are two main types of Life Force Energy: Internal and External. Internal Life Force Energy (LFE) is the subtle energy that exists within the body and mind of all living things. In the human body Internal LFE runs through subtle pathways or meridians. When these pathways are blocked or imbalanced, due to stress for example, illness can result. External Life Force Energy exists within plants, flowers, minerals and crystals, and this energy is often harnessed for healing purposes as in homeopathic and herbal remedies. On one level Reiki can be seen as the purest form of External LFE and it can have a profound effect on our health and well-being by reba lancing, cleansing, and renewing our Internal Energy System. When Reiki comes into contact with Internal LFE that is blocked, sluggish, or imbalanced, it naturally and effortlessly dissoves, transmutes, and raises the quality of that energy to the healthiest level that our body, mind, and environment will allow.

If clients have experienced past emotional traumas and have not dealt with difficult situations or painful feelings from this time, then Reiki may help them experience a period of gentle emotional release, followed by renewed clarity and the ability to put the past in context with their present and future. Reiki may also help them to release negative patterns of behavior and adopt more positive habits.

A Reiki treatment has many benefits: Clearing headaches, stomach aches and allieviating body pains; Increased energy; Inner peace and calmness; Increased ability to deal positively with stressful situations; Increased clarity of mind and deeper intuitive or inner wisdom; Clearer physical senses; A general feeling of being more whole, healthy, and happy.

SWEDISH MASSAGE

Swedish Massage is the systematic and scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to bring about a therapeutic or healing effect. It consists of light to heavy stroking and gentle rubbing movements to large muscle areas. This technique helps to ease sore,stiff and tired muscles. It is good for sluggish circulation and brings about a state of deep relaxation.

---

REMEDIAL MASSAGE

This is a very therapeutic massage using a medium to strong rubbing action on the muscle groups with the intention of relieving areas of chronic pain and tension, tonifying muscles, increasing range of movement of limbs, breaking down adhesions in the muscles and fascia, improving circulation and lymph flow, and encouraging removal of toxins and acid wastes from the body. Often with this technique, I will work only on a particular set of muscle groups (eg. wry neck or frozen shoulder) rather than the whole body.

---

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

When the muscles, particularly the deeper layers, are in spasm there is a ‘clamping’ effect on the arteries which slows the circulation and lymph flow. With Deep Tissue massage I work these deeper layers vigorously(using finger tips and knuckles in circular movements), softening hardened muscle fibres and releasing the muscle adhesions thus restoring blood and lymph plasma flow( this fluid is vital in lubricating the muscles and prevents them from sticking together). This technique is good for reteaving muscle pain and restoring mobility(eg overstrained or torn lumbar back muscles) after a physical trauma due to a fall or other injuries

---

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

For this therapy I apply a series of constant direct pressures using thumb,knuckle or elbow point (for up to 4seconds) on the major trigger points TP’s(points of intense pain when stimulated) along a band of muscles with the aim of deactivating or neutralising these special points. I have achieved dramatic results using this technique with complete removal of all tension and pain from a large group of muscles by deactivating these TP’s. Also the full range of movement can be returned using Trigger Point Therapy(eg. frozen shoulder).

---

AROMATHERAPY

This technique was developed in France and is a gentle and specific treatment which workson stimulating the lymphatics allowing you to benefit from the inhalation and absorption of a blend of essential oils designed especially for you. I use gentle and repetitive movements along the various lymphatic pathways, assisting with lymph movement and bringing about a state of deep relaxation. A blend of oils will be chosen on the day with you in mind. Excellent for emotional and energetic healing, deep relaxation, poor immune function, anxiety or simply to recharge.

---

PREGNANCY MASSAGE

This massage is specificially designed to ease the aches and pains of this special time. Your body goes through many changes which will generally lead to some( or even severe ) discomfort. This pregnancy treatment allows you to relax deeply while I wQrk on those sore and aching muscles in your neck, shoulders, lower back and hips. Also I use lymphatic drainage techniques to reduce swelling in your legs, feet and ankles.

CLASSICAlL HOMEOPATHY

What is Homeopathy and how does it work? Homeopathy recognizes that all symptoms of ill health are signs of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the person who needs treatment, not the disease. Homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body’s own defence mechanism (healing power). This power is very great and many complaints heal themselves unaided, but when the healing process is faulty, blocked or slow, then the homeopathic remedy acts to stimulate the curative powers of the body and does so in either acute or chronic conditions. Homeopathic remedies very rarely cause side effects and you cannot become addicted to them. This is because only a very minute amount of the active ingredient is used in a specially prepared natural form. This remedy is always tailor made for your needs.

Homeopathy is based on a natural law called the LAW OF SIMILARS which states that: “What a substance can cause, it can also cure”. In 500BC Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, knew of this law, but it has only been in the last 200 years that we have learned how to apply it. Samuel Hahnemann, the German physician, introduced a precise and systematic method of testing called ‘proving’. This method involves giving medicinal substances(in high concentrations) to healthy human beings(not the sick or research animals), and finding out what symptoms they cause. When we know what a substance can cause(in a healthy person), we then also know what it can cure in a minute homeopathic dose( in a sick person).

WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO HAPPEN?

After taking your remedy you should notice some changes. Most often you will experience a period of exceptional well being, less tiredness and more energy, optimism and a sense of ‘joy of life’. These are signs that the remedy is doing its job. However it occasionally happens that your symptoms appear worse for a short time, although you actually feel better in yourself. This is the remedy taking effect( It is called a aggravation ), and you should feel the beginnings of recovery in a couple of days. If you develop a cold or a rash or some form of discharge, this will probably be the remedy having a ‘spring cleaning’ effect on the body. These symptoms will pass; they must not be treated as they are part of the healing process.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I BE HEALED?

This depends very much on what sort of illness you have and how long you have had it. A very slow developing chronic complaint such as a stomach ulcer will take some time to be fully healed, but other acute complaints eg. headache can get better very quickly. Complicated cases are cured from the inside of the body, gradually working outward. This means that superficial outer symptoms, such as skin disorders are often the last to go. BE PATIENT, it is much better for you to be cured of both the cause of your illness and its symptoms, rather than merely relieve the symptoms.

IRIDOLOGY AND SCEREROLOGY

lridology and Scelerology are screening tools used to detect individual inherited dispositions and to identify each persons specific nurture points. Iridologists like myself believe the colour and structure of your eyes is a unique representation of the health issues(physical, mental or emotional)of parents, grandparents and great grandparents. By looking through a magnifying glass I will assess the colour and fibre structure variations in your iris(coloured part of your eye)and scelera(white part) in order to observe the constitutional strengths of your physical body, as well aspects of your personality including how you learn and who you are likely to be attracted to.

lridology and Scelerology can be used to determine potential health problems at the earliest stage. They also identifies the emotional precursors that can activate a predisposition, This enables you an opportunity to prevent illness and maintain optimum weliness. This is the main value of Iridology and Scelerology — a health screening tool that enables implementation of preventative strategies. With this in mind when viewing the iris and scelera as a road map or blueprint, you can discover how well you are put together, how much abuse your body can handle, where your body will tend to get sick, which organ systems are at greater risk, specific underlying reasons contributing to your symptoms and what emotional or behavioural factors are influencing these patterns.

What do your eyes reveal?

(1) Genetic inheritance predominantly from the past 3 generation
(2) Toxins, Acid Waste and Heavy Metals in different Organs and Glands
(3) Sluggish/congested Lymphatic System
(4) Potential nutritional imbalances and needs
(5) Tissue strength and weakness
(6) Specific predisposition s
(7) Metabolic disturbances
(8) Primary nurture points
(9) Personality attributes
(10) Condition of major veins and arteries of body eg constriction/hardening (11) Constitional Types eg. Silk

Iridology and Scelerology provide a non invasive and economical means of looking into your body and determining your constitution with its strengths and weaknesses, assisting you to take better choices regarding your furure health prospects and to accept the responsible of taking care of yourself.

I have been receiving remedial massage therapy from Bill Horton for the past two years. Prior to visiting Bill I spent more than ten years searching for a practitioner to help me with the severe pain I suffer in the neck, shoulder and spinal region. I have also suffered from constant and severe migraines for many years. I have visited chiropractors, sport masseurs and other remedial masseurs, none of which have ever achieved the results I have experienced while under Bill Hortons care. Compared to the other practitioners Bill’s treatment has been incredible. Bill has been able to relieve and eliminate the muscular and spinal problems I had suffered from. Bill’s techniques include many disciplines and his wholelistic approach to healing I have not seen anywhere else. With regular visits Bill has been able to eliminate my migraines and I have experienced a distinct improvement in my overall health. Bill is a deeply caring and highly trained practitioner and my visits to Bill are imperative for me in maintaining a pain free lifestyle. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Bill Horton to anyone requiring treatment.”

“1 am a mid fifties age group triathlete who has done nearly 20 years worth of endurance events throughout Australia. These races have includect 3 Ironman Triathlons (3.8 k swim, 180k bike and 42k run legs) as well as 20 half ironman and 20 half marathon runs.

I have always been a regular at chiropractor and physiotherapists for various injuries but after suffering a hernia at the same time as hurting my back so badly I required an ambulance and morphine to move me, I failed to recover as quickly as I required. Indeed when I first went to Bill via word of mouth while I could get on a bike my back was so bad I could not get off again without lying the bike almost on the ground!

Bill’s treatment is unique and I was able to identify improvement myself by a simple technique I developed myself, when I first went I estimated that Bill exerted pressure on some 200 points along the spine and pelvis in his treatment, I had at approximately 180 of these points.

With fortnightly treatments for 6 weeks and then monthly those sore spots have decreased to about 10 to 20 depending upon what I have self inflicted on myself in the meantime via running, riding, swimming, kayaking and various other activities, the worst of which is sitting long hours in front of a computer!)

I recommend Bill’s unique treatment to anyone who has a long history of back problems and wants to recover their health, he has a quote about himself which I now know to be correct “1 fix the people who have given up on chiropractors and physiotherapists”!

I retired in 2006 to take up life as a hobby farmer and spend time caravan fling around our great country only to find my plans were curtailed as the increased levels of physical activity associated with these persuits aggravated a lower back injury I had carried for some time.

Regular visits to the Chiropractor, Physiotherapist and Acupuncturist had previously been sufficient to manage the condition however whilst they were providing short term relief, treatment was becoming more regular and certainly did not appear to be addressing the underlying cause. I went looking for other possible solutions and was directed to Bill.

Whilst I was a little reluctant to experiment with treatment by other than a medical practitioner my doubts were negated after my first visit to Bill where he demonstrated a comprehensive knowledge of the bodies muscular skeletal system and identified the areas of concern with very little prompting. I am unaware of the content of the training he has undergone but believe he demonstrates a level of competence equal to any qualified medical practitioner that I have visited. More importantly however is the fact that he has been able to deliver a result which now only requires occasional maintenance treatments and provides me with almost unrestricted activity.

I recently suffered a “frozen shoulder”, which restricted my arm movement to the point where it was difficult to drive. After my first experience with Bill and considering that investigation of this condition showed many cases resulted in surgery for rectification, I was in no way hesitant to employ Healing Massage. Although was quite prolonged and at times painful once again I have undergone an almost complete recovery.

I now firmly believe that the techniques used by Bill and the skill with which he applies them makes Healing Massage a viable alternative to traditional medical solutions for muscular injuries and have no hesitation in recommending his services. Thanks largely to Bill I now enjoy my travels in comfort and look forward to the challenges associated with farm life.
