One of my lovely clients gave me a brilliant analogy of his treatment:

‘When a knife is a little blunt, it still cuts but not to its best ability. My reflexology sharpens the knife and gives me that edge.’

I couldn’t agree more!

If you’re looking for that ‘edge’ call or text me on 07885852600.

I’d love to know what reflexology does for you, feel free to write in the comments below.

Are you thinking about having a massage but you don’t want to leave feeling like you’ve been beaten up?

So you want a gentle massage then?

No?

So how about a massage that leaves you feeling relaxed, calm and your muscles feel as if you just finished a yoga session. A massage that warms and stretches the muscles?

Sound good?

What if I said I couple it with an Indian head massage or lower leg massage for the same price?

What if I tell you that the massage table is heated, so no chance of getting cold?

Now does that sound better?

Then feel feee to call or text me on 07885852600 and I’ll book you in. 💜

Strength-training exercises such as wall squats or holding the plank position are among the best ways to lower blood pressure, a study at Christchurch University in Canterbury suggests.
Current guidance focusing mainly on walking, running and cycling should be updated, the UK researchers say.
Analysis, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, of trials involving 16,000 people found all exercise lowered high blood pressure.
But wall squats and planking led to larger falls than aerobic exercise.
These isometric exercises are designed to build strength without moving muscles or joints.

Thank you Philippa Roxby for this information, it’s interesting to know that it’s not all about aerobic exercise to lower blood pressure.

Symptoms of diverticular disease and diverticulitis.

Symptoms include pain in the lower left side of your tummy (abdomen) – a small number of people get pain on the right side
tummy pain that gets worse after you eat, and gets better after you poo or fart
constipation
diarrhoea
blood in your poo
bloating
If your intestine becomes infected or inflamed, it's called diverticulitis. You may also have symptoms such as:

severe, constant tummy pain
high temperature
bleeding or passing slime (mucus) from your bottom
Information:
The symptoms of diverticular disease and diverticulitis are similar to those of other conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

What can you do to help it? Eat a healthy, balanced diet including whole grains, fruits and vegetables – there are no specific foods you need to avoid
slowly increase how much fibre you eat if you do not eat much fibre – and make sure to also drink plenty of water
stop smoking if you smoke
maintain a healthy weight.

Hashimoto’s disease

Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and Hashimoto's disease, is an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is gradually destroyed. Early on there may be no symptoms. Over time the thyroid may enlarge forming a painless goiter.

Common symptoms and signs of Hashimoto's thyroiditis include:
Fatigue.
Depression.
Modest weight gain.
Cold intolerance.
Excessive sleepiness.
Dry, coarse hair.
Constipation.
Dry skin.

Treatment

Standard treatment for Hashimoto's disease is levothyroxine, the synthetic form of thyroxine (T-4). However, extracts are available that contain thyroid hormone derived from the thyroid glands of pigs.

Can you bend your hand so far forward it can touch your wrist? Are you very flexible? Do your ankles often tip over when you’re walking? You may be hyper mobile.

For years I thought I was accident prone, then I found out I had hyper mobile wrists and ankles. At least I can now blame them when I drop something or kiss the ground unexpectedly. 🤨

Mild hyper mobility is usually not too much of a problem but if you suffer from severe hyper mobility (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) it can be very debilitating. Over use of the joints can be very painful and there is no cure. However, strengthening the muscles around the joints provides extra support and can help prevent overuse.

Reflexology is a lovely treatment to have if you are suffering with your joints. You can call me on 07885852600 to arrange an appointment.

If you ever hear the words “you have heart failure“ you would immediately think the worst. However although heart failure is a serious condition that gets progressively worse over time, certain cases can be reversed with treatment. Even when the heart muscle is damaged, there are several treatments that can relieve symptoms and stop or slow them.

Heart failure is where the heart is unable to pump blood around the body properly and needs treatment to help it work.
Symptoms of heart disease include shortness of breath, tiredness and swelling in your ankles or legs.
The main treatments for heart failure are healthy lifestyle changes and medicines. Some people may also need a pacemaker or heart surgery.
Heart failure is caused by damage to the heart or a problem with the way it works. Common causes include heart disease and high blood pressure.
