An Hour of Prevention

You know the old proverb, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”  Well, I’m going to add some new dimensions to it.  How about, “An hour of prevention to maintain cure or to stay well?”

Wellness is on everyone’s mind as healthcare prices soar and coverage plummets.  We are tired of pills, shots, surgeries and other means that are only masking or reducing the symptoms, not fixing the root cause of our problems.  We want our money’s worth when it comes to our healthcare.  Where do we get it and how does it work?

The human body is 80% soft tissue.  Many illnesses are soft tissue related.  The majority of pain occurs in the muscles, tendons or ligaments, which are soft tissue and need someone that understands their mechanics in order to reduce the pain and promote healing.  Where does one go for such work?  Who is qualified to work on these issues?  What type of treatment will help these conditions?

Massage Therapists are Soft Tissue Specialists with advanced training in the anatomy, physiology and the mechanics of the human body.  They understand how muscles and connective tissue function and interact.   Imbalance results in a host of maladies that are not only treatable, but preventable through regular massage therapy, stretching and exercise.

One hour/week will be your best ally in preventing many forms of pain and dis-ease.  Aside from being extremely effective in relieving stress, there is scientific evidence showing that massage helps with a variety of conditions, such as:

➔  Adhesions, scars and stretch marks

➔  Anxiety

➔  Arthritis

➔  Asthma

➔  Back and body pain, stiffness and soreness

➔  Chronic and acute pain

➔  Depression

➔  Easing birth labor

➔  Edema and swelling

➔  Fatigue

➔  Fibromyalgia

➔  Headaches

➔  High blood pressure

➔  Improved mental focus

➔  Improved immune function

➔  Improved mobility

➔  Increased productivity

➔  Joint pain

➔  Muscle strains and sprains

➔  Post-traumatic stress disorder

➔  Relaxation

➔  Sleep Disorders

➔  Sports Injuries

➔  STRESS

➔  Tendonitis

➔  Trauma

➔  Whiplash

Massage is an ancient art of healing.  I discovered massage following an accident that resulted in extreme pain and reduced function.  It has given my life back and I have vowed to share the healing power of touch with those desiring a better quality of life through natural means.

So, if you are ready to feel better and maintain your health, make massage a part of your wellness program.  Our therapists’ training includes:  Neuromuscular, Cranio-Sacral, Manual Lymph Drainage, Orthopedic, Cupping, Trauma, Chronic and Acute Pain, and much more.

AnimalTalk for Your Pets

Like BodyTalk, Animal Talk is designed to re-establish good communication within an animal’s body. Animal Talk supports the resynchronization of the animal’s internal systems to provide fluid communication between the various components of the body, thus keeping the body sound and less vulnerable to disease.  AnimalTalk, which is more oriented to the animl professional, can be used on domestic animals or on wild animals alike As the sessions are done by “short-distance”, there is no hands-on contact with the animal, thus making it safe for the animal and AnimalTalk Practitioner.

The BodyTalk treatment protocol is straightforward. The practitioner relies on the guidance of the animal’s natural wisdom to not only locate the weakened lines of communication but also to find the proper order in which they are to be addressed. Children and animals respond well to the treatment.

Testimonials

• Miracle was a happy but anxious retreiver.  Her owner had difficulty controlling her.  She was implsive and all over everyone that come to their home.  When Animal Talk was performed, it revealed trauma at birth.  Balancing that and other links calmed Miracle down greatly.  Her owners report that she is a happy and well behaved 80+ lb pup!

• Linda was scheduled for carpal tunnel surgery in 6 weeks when she was referred to Kim for help. After several weeks of massage therapy, Linda was feeling good and canceled the surgery. Two weeks following the cancellation, she arrived at the office with a lot of pain in her hands. Kim took the initiative and performed muscle testing to ask Linda’s innate wisdom what therapy was needed, her innate wanted BodyTalk. Kim later received a phone call from Linda saying that her hands felt great! She wasn’t sure what Kim had done or how BodyTalk worked, but was grateful it had. Linda is doing well and continues to see Kim regularly for massage and BodyTalk. ~ Linda A., Orange Park, FL
• “I suffered from allergies for 10 years. Nothing was helping.   The diet I had to adhere to was very restrictive and depressed my family as I couldn’t enjoy simple things like ice cream with them. I was referred to BodyTalk for treatment.  I was very skeptical. As a nurse with knowledge of the immune system and allergies, I didn’t expect much but wanted results. To my surprise in just 3 sessions, I was able to drink milk for the first time in years!  I was so astounded that I became a BodyTalk practitioner.     I want to share this wonderful healing technique with everyone! It’s the greatest!” ~ Julia S., Ponte Vedra, FL
• “My doctor referred me to see Kim following an auto accident. I was in so much pain throughout my body.  The headaches were so severe I couldn’t think clearly.  After several BodyTalk sessions, the headaches cleared up and I could think again.  The stress of the accident reduced greatly and I was able to drive without fear of anything happening to me.” ~Sherica M., Jacksonville, FL
• “I was scheduled for hip replacement surgery when I was introduced to BodyTalk. I was suffering with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from previous surgeries. Just the thought of having surgery again frightened me so bad that I went into shock!  After 3 BodyTalk treatments, I could think about the surgery with minimal fear.  After the surgery, I received more treatments and my recovery was phenomenal! I was able to move from wheelchair to walker to cane within 48 hours!  I felt better than I had in more than 5 years!  The nurses kept asking me how I was able to heal so fast, and I kept telling them, “It’s the BodyTalk!”   Thank you, Kim for introducing me to this wonderful system of healing!”            ~ Coleman T., Jacksonville, FL

DETOXIFICATION:

Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel) accumulate in the body during modern daily life. The body eliminates most toxins naturally by sweating. Sweat produced from a FIR sauna is 80-85% water and 15-20% toxins! Toxins excreted in a FIR sauna contain heavy metals, pesticides and other petroleum-based toxins, as well as fat itself. All of these toxic substances DO NOT appear in typical sweat, only in sweat produced from a FIR sauna.
Far infrared saunas are said to be up to 7 times more effective than a conventional sauna in regards to detoxification. Toxins that are stated to be removed include sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, lead, mercury, nicotine, alcohol, ammonia, sulfuric acid an other environmental and man made toxins. www.buzzle.com

PAIN RELIEF:

Heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process. Arthritis Pain Relief. In Europe, radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many forms of arthritis. The deep heat of our infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. It has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other musculoskeletal ailments. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to depleted muscles so they recover faster.  Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm, promoting greater flexibility and range of motion. Much of the stiffness, aches and soreness that come with aging are reduced or eliminated.  Therapeutic Effects of Far Infrared Heat – Chapter 9 of Therapeutic Heat and Cold, Fourth Edition, Editors Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin.

Infrared Heat Therapy does the following :

• Relieves muscle spasms
• Increases blood flow
• Leads to pain relief
• Affects soft tissue injury
• Increases the extensibility of collagen tissue
• Assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrated, edema, and exudes. http://www.chimachine4u.com/fir2.html

WEIGHT CONTROL:

Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water-soluble and the body sweats out fats and toxins. Burn up to 600 calories in a 30minute treatment.
