When a traumatic event happens, emotional information is created and then stored in two places – as a memory in our brain and as an emotion/feeling in the body! Stored and unprocessed emotional trauma is the root cause of many health issues as proven in numerous scientific clinical research studies around the world. The energetic stored negative emotion can be easily removed without pain through the use of a new 3D-Healing application based on Quantum Hypnotherapy. If you experienced a traumatic event, seek help. PTSD can be resolved so that life can continue to be in a happy place.

Effective Treatment for Tendon Injury
Tendonitis is an acutely inflamed/swollen tendon, while tendinosis, on the other hand, is a chronically damaged tendon with necrotic tissue. Common tendon injuries include: Achilles tendonitis/osis, Plantar fasciitis/osis, Long Head of Biceps tendonitis/osis. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that involves creating a series of low energy acoustic wave pulsations that are applied to the tendon. It is designed to create breakdown and inflammation in the tendon to stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation). ESWT in conjunction with active rehabilitation & Class IV Laser has proven to be an effective treatment for the management of tendon injury.

You Have What it Takes!
The world is different, but does that mean you stop looking after your health? Health is your biggest asset! So what better time to start changing it? The first thing to do is take action towards your health goal. Know that this first attempt at action will be the worst because you have NO momentum or skills. Momentum is MOVEMENT, and because you’re learning it gets easier. Improving your health is about remembering your why, realizing excuses are valid, the world isn’t fair, and the only way out is to start! Now, is the time to take control of your health!
Tea and Toast Syndrome
“Tea and toast syndrome” refers to malnutrition in seniors when a lack of desire or inability to prepare and/or eat proper meals results in them relying on simpler meals like tea and toast. Seniors who skip meals almost daily, have gained/lost more than 10 pounds in the past six months, take medications, have dental issues, or have a disability can be at risk for malnutrition. Some common signs to watch for include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, memory issues, digestive issues, a weak immune system, muscle weakness, and anemia. There are support services available to help seniors eat well and regularly!
Symptoms of an Old Injury?
Frustrated with how slow symptom resolution can take? You’re not alone! There’s a lot of healing that goes beyond what any manual therapy can do. When an old injury has long since healed, what lingers is years of built up guarding, fear, compensations, resistance, and exhaustion. Your symptoms are real, and your frustrations understandable. I like to combine massage therapy with gentle movement explorations. The relief a massage provides allows the opportunity to come back to your breath, connect with your body and get out of your head and into your bones. In the case of an old injury, we can use gentle movement to finish healing.
Have You Considered Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is part of an ancient Traditional Chinese medical system that aims to restore order and balance to the body. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), acupuncture can be used for a variety of issues such as digestive, emotional, menstrual, respiratory, fertility, neurological, musculoskeletal and addiction. In recent years, several clinical studies have proven that acupuncture is effective for people who do not want to take medication, have allergies/sensitivities to medications or have intolerable side effects to medication. The benefits of acupuncture include: enhanced mental clarity and energy, stress reduction, immune stimulation, pain control and improved circulation.
Ask The Expert
Q: Does anyone wear hard contact lenses any longer? My mom had them in the 1970’s.
A: Yes; the modern equivalents are called rigid gas permeable lenses, and they can still be a great choice for certain eye problems. They are less common than soft contact lenses, so you may need to ask around to see where they are obtainable.
Avoid Magnesium Deficiency
Did you know a third of adults are not consuming the recommended amount of magnesium? A processed diet with mainly cooked foods can lead to a magnesium deficiency. This can result in fatigue, irritability, insomnia, confusion, or poor memory. Decreased levels of magnesium can also be linked to high blood pressure, kidney stones, and heart disease. Magnesium is considered the anti-stress mineral because of its natural tranquilizer/relaxer effect on skeletal and smooth muscle, including the blood vessels and heart! Eat your dark leafy greens, legumes, nuts, and fatty fish to get more magnesium in your diet.
Indulge in Winter Aromas
Make your home smell warm and cozy with the help of essential oils. Oils such as Cinnamon, Clove Bud, and Nutmeg may be used to simulate the warm smells of baking. In your diffuser, add 3-5 drops and notice how a cold room starts to feel pleasant and inviting. If you wish to make your home smell like a winter forest, Black Spruce, Cedarwood, and Pine essential oils are great to use. If you are looking for a pre-made winter blend, our Winter Warmth diffuser blend may be perfect for you. This synergy of Birch, Bitter Orange, Cinnamon, Pine, and Vetivert will remind you that there is warmth even in the coldest months.
