SERVICES
As a person in pain, I know it can be very confusing when confronted with the difficult choice of which therapy to choose. When looking for help it is my belief that you should choose a therapy that is non invasive e.g. gently works with the body & does not try to forcefully make a change! Your choice of therapist is just as important, if you can have a recommendation from a friend this is usually the best. Failing that talk to the therapist, does he/she seem interested in your wellbeing, offering advice &/or information in a caring way?
A genuine therapist will be happy to arrange a meeting (in a professional manner & setting) so as to help you make this important decision.
BOWEN THERAPY
A gentle & effective treatment for a wide range of muscular problems.This is a very relaxing non oil technique using holding points & rolls across muscles to return the body to its natural balance, resulting in pain relief, improved bodily function & enhanced health & wellbeing.Developed by world famous bodyworker, Australian Tom Bowen.
EMMETT TECHNIQUE
Another Australian modality which is gentle & non-invasive, used to treat a wide range of muscular problems.It incorporates a unique sequence of muscle activation points to correct muscular dysfunction, realign the body, and relieve pain. Developed by Ross Emmett, renowned bodyworker & senior Bowen Therapy teacher.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Improving the Body's drainage of toxins & its Immune System. It is my belief that Bowen Therapy & Emmett Technique are the most advanced forms of Lymphatic Drainage! Every Bowen treatment strongly influences the Lymphatic System, & along with Emmett Technique have lymphatic techniques which can be included to address specific areas of concern. e.g. Respiratory, Sinus, Kidney, & Limbs.
SPORTS INJURY THERAPY
As Bowen Therapy & Emmett Technique excels in the treatment of muscular injuries they are ideally suited for many sports related injuries & their prevention. Note it is our tight &/or injured muscles that are very capable of pulling our bones out of alignment via their tendon attachments to our bones! For this reason skeletal work without addressing the muscles can lead to the problem reoccurring. The muscles simply pull the bones back out of alignment ! Once the muscles are returned to their natural balance skeletal alignment is usually the outcome.
TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
Digit pressure is used to deactivate painful muscles that can refer pain to other parts of the body. An excellent therapy for treating referred pain. I have found with my intense studies of Bowen Therapy & Emmett Technique that I rarely need to use Trigger Point Therapy. This is my personal preference & not a criticism of Trigger Point Therapy.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Is a gentle, non-invasive hands on therapy for removing restrictions from the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, the bones of the cranium and spinal column as well as the connective tissue throughout the body. The technique is based on the principle that the motion of the subtle pulses of the cerebral spinal fluid (the fluid system that nurtures our central nervous system, from the brain to the tailbone) needs to be as free as possible for healthy functioning.
Injuries, muscular strain, and tension can affect this cranial motion both locally and throughout the body via the connective tissue network.
With only a pressure of 5-10 grams of tactile touch the CranioSacral Therapist identifies and releases these restrictions which balances the body enabling homeostasis.
(Homeostasis is the natural balance within the body, which is essential for optimal health )
Treating a wide range of conditions including : ........
* Migraines * Jaw (TMJ) Problems* Lymphatic Drainage * Back Pain
* Shoulder Restrictions * Tennis Elbow * Carpal Tunnel * Knee Pain
* Sports Injuries * Stress * Fibromyalgia * Chronic Fatigue * Neck Pain
*Whiplash * Pelvic / Hip / Sciatic Pain...........and much more !
MISSION STATEMENT
To always strive towards providing to those who have entrusted their care to me the highest standard of treatment coupled with the utmost of integrity.
* As a Professional Health Carer I will not hesitate to refer should I believe your complaint is better addressed by another therapy or beyond the scope of remedial therapies.
I would be pleased to offer advise on your concerns if you wish to contact me by phone,e-mail, or post.
Sincerely
John Garfield
