A LITTLE MORE ABOUT DRY NEEDLING
Dry Needling (DN) is a common technique and works with single-use sterile needles to normalise chemicals and the pH level in the muscle.
This will restore circulation which will deactivate Trigger Points (TrPs), improve your range of motion and decrease pain sensations.
DN has also been shown to activate the fibroblast cells which are responsible for mediating immunity, inflammation and blood cell formation.
It also has a neurological effect by linking the muscle and brain directly together which is referred to as a Local Twitch Response (LTR). This is typically felt when targeting a TrP. If you have multiple TrPs that are active throughout the body our brain can get confused as to where the pain is coming from. By initiating a LTR the brain is able to tell the muscle to 'turn off' the pain pattern and normalise the TrP.
HOW IS DRY NEEDLING DIFFERENT TO ACUPUNCTURE?
Traditional Acupuncture is based on the East Asian Medicine (EAM) approach which includes various assessment methods and diagnosis based on EAM paradigms.
DN is used to alter dysfunctional tissue to improve or restore function. Areas that are targeted in a DN session are Myofascial TrPs, periosteum (vascular connective tissue) & soft tissue.
This treatment method is fantastic for those with chronic pain, Fibromyalagia, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches/migraines and/or injuries.

WHAT IS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE
Lymphatic drainage massage is an extremely gentle, rhythmic and flowing massage that targets the lymphatic
system alone.
This style of massage targets a very superficial body system that only requires a light touch compared to
direct soft tissue work, like remedial massage.
The lymphatic system contains capillaries, vessels, nodes and blood vessels (which are major ducts that empty into the thymus region back towards the heart). The lymph nodes are extremely important as they filter and clean incoming lymph and produce immune competent T & B cells. Clearing these superficial or deeper clusters will assist the system in detoxification of metabolic waste.
The lymphatic system is a one-way system that has no pump, unlike the circulatory system.
Simple body movement & the action of breathing help to push the lymphatic fluid through
the lymph vessels, which are called lymphangions. This is a very slight muscle contraction at
6 contractions per minute. The lymphatic fluid is then slowly returned back to the
heart and to the blood stream.
The main aim of this system is to recover essential interstitial fluid (containing blood plasma & proteins) that is lost from the circulatory system within the capillary beds. Up to 2-3 litres of water and 50% of blood protein is lost from the circulation system per day (10% of circulatory fluid). Through this ‘mop’ up system it is then re-established back into the body’s blood stream to ensure the body maintains a healthy balance.
This system is extremely sluggish and slow, circulating between 1.5 to 2 litres of Lymph per day. With lymphatic massage it can be increased up to 6 litres per day which is a large increase.
The clinical intent of this massage is to:
Stimulate the lymphatic system to reabsorb & transport lymph more effectively
Stimulate immune system
Encourage relaxation to reduce the sensation of pain
Assist with removal of metabolic waste from the tissue
Assist clients that have had sections of the lymph system removed due to cancer
Lymphatic massage will assist with:
Sinusitis/hay fever
Oedema reduction (pregnancy)
Pain relief (fibromyalgia)
Chronic inflammation
Strains, Sprains and bruising
Soft tissue damage
Post sporting event inflammation
Dentistry
Lymphoedema
Arthritis
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Pre/post surgery
Results of treatment will vary in every case. A client that is suffering from swollen limbs, will normally see a reduction in oedema directly after treatment and will continue to do so for up to 12 hours post treatment. For a client that is relatively healthy and active the challenge of this treatment might be that you feel it hasn’t done anything. However, if your system is compromised by any of the above, you may feel less fatigued/stressed, lighter and relaxed.
If you suffer from any form of cancer, heart condition or chronic inflammation medical clearance from your treating practitioner will be required.
ROOT-CAUSE THERAPY
Root-Cause Therapy is a trauma healing method which uses regression to allow the completion of
unprocessed emotions which are still presently causing unwanted thoughts, behaviours and symptoms.
This modality has advanced ways of testing and discovering the actual causation of the currently presenting unease within oneself, which could be reflecting itself through negative life patterns and choices. Your practitioner will facilitate and guide you to tap into the self-healing mechanisms of the deeper parts of your mind in an empowering safe container.
Assumptions and ‘theories’ are no longer necessary as we create a way for the mind and body to consciously access and reassess from a clearer perspective, whether this be in the past or negative projections into the future.
Each session is structured in such a way that can help prioritise and work through life-long symptoms and past hurts in a gentle yet thorough way.
If this modality speaks to you, and you would like to discuss if this might be suitable for you, please reach out today and Carly would love to answer your questions.
KUNDALINI YOGA & MEDITATION CLASSES
Kundalini Yoga is the Yoga of Awareness. It is different to other styles of yoga as it really harnesses the mental, physical and nervous energies through the technology and combination of breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity and purify the blood. Ultimately generating a positive effect of uplifting the spirit and your consciousness.
There is a strong focus of moving the spiritual energy through the chakra system which provides the opportunity for powerful clearing, balancing and life-changing processes to take place if practiced regularly.
This practice is great for everyone but is especially good for women due to the focus on the glandular system and for those that have a busy mind. It can also be a wonderful addition to your current treatment plan for a holistic approach.
Within the practice the focus is on specific breathing techniques, sequences, postures that are held for a certain period of time and chanting meditation mantras.
The key is repetition, structure and kriyas. Repetition helps get the energy flowing. Structure of the postures is designed in a way to move the flow of kundalini energy through all of the chakras and kriyas use movement, breath and mantra to direct your subtle body energy to stimulate the nervous system and glandular system.
REIKI & ENERGY HEALING
Reiki is an ancient healing art that focuses on our innate self-healing abilities. The practitioner is working with the body’s quantum energy field (or aura), to assist the body to rebalance its energy centres (chakras) or the field itself. During healing states, our bodies can resonate at certain frequencies and in the scientific community, this is known as our Human Energy Field. When we meet these frequencies, we have the ability to restore flow where there is restriction or stagnation. Blockages in the field can present when we have limiting beliefs,
negative thoughts or emotions about ourselves, negative lifestyle patterns, neglected or wounded Inner Child or unresolved past traumas, all of which can disrupt our body’s natural energy life force flow, which can result in physical body ailments or disease, difficulties with making decisions or moving forward with different aspects of life.
Reiki aims at cleansing, balancing and healing whilst shifting our nervous systems from fight/flight (SNS) to rest/digest (PNS), which ultimately provides the cells in your body the opportunity to heal, taking you out of body survival and into a state of self-healing. Although not a miracle cure, there is a wide range of illness, injuries and health conditions Reiki can assist with and is also great for preventative care where you are wanting to maintain your health for ultimate living by raising your body frequency & vibration.
For those who are living in a state of fight/flight with a compromised vagus nerve (gut/brain response) due to a chronic condition or stress, this style of treatment is ideal for assisting you on your healing journey & beyond.
Reiki can:
Support the body’s natural ability to heal itself
Clear the body of toxins, thus encouraging natural cleansing
Promote healing by balancing the chakras
Support and enhance other healing systems and reduce side effects
Provide complete relaxation
Relieve pain
Increase creativity
Establish mental equilibrium and emotional balance
Bring about spiritual upliftment
When we can open our minds to the fact that everything is energy and this is our living experience, we then realise that this aspect of our being can be influencing our lives and health. This gentle yet powerful treatment has the ability to assist you in coming back to your centre, where you can begin to naturally heal.
How do I know it is working?
This is a very common question that clients have prior to a Reiki session. Although this treatment is very subjective to the client’s experience, there can be a few common experiences with the sessions:
You can feel hot or cold spots
You can feel tingling, body twitching or jerking
Your stomach can make gurgling sounds (which is your nervous system switching
over)You can be swallowing more
Intense relaxation, comfort or falling asleep in treatment
Taking you beyond a thinking space (much like meditation)
Although casual sessions are very beneficial for your health, if you want to make long-lasting changes, session blocks are advised.
True healing is a process and an inner journey that requires time & integration.
