The International Day of Peace
is observed annually around
the world on September 21st.
The theme this year is the Right
of Peoples to Peace which
recognises that the promotion
of peace is vital for the full
enjoyment of all human rights.
United Nations representative
for world peace and art healing
pioneer, Jacqueline Ripstein has been inspiring
hundreds of thousands of people worldwide for
almost four decades. She shares her discoveries and
her art in our Focus On article, a must read!
When we hear the word spa, our minds usually
think pampering, rest and relaxation. Illness and injury
recovery doesnt instantly spring to mind. However,
there are increasing numbers of spas that have
developed services and packages specically for
clients who are receiving medical treatment for, or
are recovering from an injury or illness, including
cancer. Read our Spa and Wellness article to
learn more.
Many of us take minerals and vitamins to
supplement our health, if you want a completely
natural and organic alternative, why not grow your
own pharmacy? Linda Gray did. Turn to page 20 for
details. Last but not least, we have not one, but two
great competitions in this issue, so make sure enter.
Good luck!

rt is a sacred practice,
an internal path to
meditation. A higher
vibrational piece of art
becomes the mirror
of your soul. A silent
language that speaks
from one heart to another.
As we realise our own invisibility, new
worlds and portals will start opening. It takes
a moment of inspiration to plant a seed
of consciousness. Take a breath in, inspire,
feel life, feel alive. The tide represents the
back and forth swing of emotions that we
are constantly experiencing in our lives.
Sometimes we nd ourselves up, and
sometimes we are down. The times that we
are down represent an opportunity to move
up again.
The ocean is life and movement. The salt
water of the sea is contained in our tears; it
is the water of the maternal womb. There is
calmness, but suddenly chaos enters our
lives, and we are not always prepared. The
wind blows stronger and the waves begin
to roar with force and rise with the invisible
energy that drives them. A storm has been
created. Its force destroys everything in
its path. Life at that moment is testing us.
Powerful, unconscious feelings arise and
uncertainty or painful situations begin.
The trials have started.
In this Life painting we are receiving the
necessary messages to help us avoid the
drifting of our boat and our lives. Lifes high
tides and storms make us feel beaten.
Our lives can be symbolised by a boat.
Often we are afraid of the vast ocean
of life, afraid of facing the storm and its
destruction. How many times have we felt
that there was nothing more we could do,
that we were drowning in weariness and
pain? When we lose hope and faith we
have lost our survival tools.
After we experience pain, tragedy, loss,
and setbacks, we become more alive and
often without realising it, we take a step
upwards toward the light. In the painting of
Life, we see the Boat of Life destroyed. Its
fragments oat and the pieces drift apart,
reminding us of the fragility of life. We feel
destroyed, empty, drifting in pieces. We
doubt we can move forward.
The arts are an experience of the
sublime, or the divine, they enrich our lives,
and by inspiring us, they lift us into higher

states of awareness, connecting us with our
inner divine force. Great works of art contain
the essence of man and they convey that
there is something more that cannot be
seen with our eyes. They reveal the invisible
world. Every masterpiece has this quality of
mystery.
When we view the Life painting under the
invisible light, then we see that the boat is
still there, complete. Our Spirit is Eternal and
nothing can destroy it.
A storm is often necessary to unmask
the ego, to destroy the masks that we
have unconsciously created by our need
to protect ourselves. We try to pretend that
we are perfect as we cover up our fears of
being judged or talked about by others. Our
low self-esteem covers itself with a million
masks. We disguise the greed, egoism,
anger, rage, pain or hate that we may feel.
A storm is needed to help cleanse all of this
energy from our lives and unburden us.
Growth requires forgiveness as we
reconstruct our lives. First, we must forgive
ourselves, knowing that we are doing the

best we know how, accepting that we are
the creators of our lives. Our mistakes are
but guidelines leading us onto the right
track. As we confront ourselves with humility,
we must understand that all experiences
also help exalt our lives.
The storm brings about different kinds
of losses. Deterioration of ones health,
continuous pain, the loss of a loved one or
of material possessions, all of these touch
our lives and affect our behavior. When
we convert what we see as negative and
focus it into a positive, we can understand
that all sicknesses have something to
teach us. It is when we turn our focus within,
understanding and growing with each
storm, that we pass the test. If in our minds
we feel destroyed before the storm even hits
us, then we are already defeated.
In the moment the storm appears, if
we have not identied and overcome
inner weaknesses and if fear invades our
being before we confront the adversity,
then defeat is inevitable. The storm will lash
out without pity. As the boat yields and
becomes shipwrecked from the force of
nature, the feeling of hopelessness impedes
ones ability to progress and overcome the
calamity. The pain is too strong and the
heart grows weak. Suddenly, we believe that
life has been extinguished. We cannot go
any further.
Behind the darkness, however, there
is always Light. In spite of their destructive
power, storms also contribute something
positive. Blow by blow, they annihilate the
world of illusion, and one by one, they break
the egos that falsely fortify our being. Step
by step, we uncover the magnicence of
our essential self.

body and our soul, a message of unity, and

But what does it mean to be destroyed?
What part of our being feels destroyed?
Just as the ego breaks and melts away
in the presence of the light, the spirit is
unbreakable and nothing can destroy it.
When the ego and its vast forces stagger
and lose strength, the rays of light begin
to shine. Energy rises up and feeds inner
strength, allowing the being to vibrate at the
highest frequencies of light. The destruction
of our lives as portrayed by the shattered
boat exposes the many fears and shadows
that veil our light.
The arts generate inspiration, stimulate
our creativity, install hope and peace in
our hearts: they are a portal to the invisible
world. They connect us to our soul.
This is the key to all healing and ultimate
success, the way to clear our suffering and
limiting beliefs. n
complementary world
I was lucky enough to have one-to-one
clinical supervision and to be mentored
by a wonderful, insightful and supportive
Occupational Health Advisor, for many
years. She showed me the difference it
can make to your practice and inspired
me to do the same for other therapists.
Whether you choose one-to-one or group
supervision, another head or two gives you
more perspective and an opportunity to
reect on your options.
What is Clinical Supervision?
Clinical supervision is a formal process of
professional support and learning which
enables individual practitioners to develop
knowledge and competence, assume
responsibility for their own practice and
enhance consumer protection and safety
of care. (Department of Health, 1993) and
a regular, interactive process supported
by an experienced, skilled person using
a condential framework to reect on
professional issues and to develop skills
(Louden, 1998).
Although the majority of research on
clinical supervision is health workplace
based, it is equally important to the
complementary health practitioner working
on their own, in terms of reective practice
and shared experiences, support and as a
part of continuing professional development
(CPD).
Clinical supervision is a way to reect
on your practice and identify room
for improvement. It also provides the
opportunity to develop expertise, to
nd new ways of learning and to gain
professional support. This is particularly
important for those working alone and
without organisational support.
The aims and benets of clinical
supervisions are:
To motivate and support
To encourage professional growth
To provide relief from emotional and
personal stresses
Client-centred and focussed on
safeguarding standards of client care
Improve practice and act as a catalyst
for positive change
To improve your efciency and
effectiveness
To be part of lifelong learning
opportunities
To improve service delivery through the
use of evaluation systems
To improve staff recruitment and retention
To challenge poor performance and
reinforce good performance
To make staff more responsible for their
actions/inactions
Clinical supervision is an important tool
to support you with:
Reecting on clinical practice by
providing a structured approach
Quality improvement
Risk and performance management
Systems of accountability and
responsibility
An appropriate environment for
supervision to take place is another
requirement, but most critical is the provision
of trained supervisors. Bush, T. (2005)
There are different models and
approaches to clinical supervision,
which can be adopted to suit you or
your organisations needs:-

Educative (formative)
How to develop an understanding of skills
and ability
How to understand the client better
How to develop awareness of reaction
and reection on interventions
How to explore other ways of working.
Supportive (restorative)
Exploring the emotional reaction to pain,
conict and other feelings experienced
during client care, which can help to
reduce burn out.
Managerial (normative)
Address quality control issues
Ensure work reaches appropriate
standards
Structured forum for peer supervision:
Meeting up with colleagues/therapists in
a local group
Meeting with therapists from other
organisations
Looking for provision from an outside
supervisor/organisation
Using facilitated group supervision
Using the same professional colleagues
with one-to-one peer review
Using group supervision with a selected
leader
As therapists work in a variety of settings
and sometimes in isolation, it is important to
consider how to use available resources to
suit individual supervisory needs. Choose a
model that works well for you or your team in
terms of the learning process, the numbers
in the team, frequency of meetings, venue
and required outcomes.
Clinical supervision sessions should be
structured and managed with clearly
dened aims and objectives. This
includes:
A process
An evaluation system
Outcomes to measure success.
Ground rules and responsibilities should
be clearly dened, and there should be
a contract of commitment that includes:
Commitment to condentiality
Open and honest learning
Sharing best practice
Seeking research for evidence-based
practice and facilitating new learning
opportunities with regards to clinical
supervision in the workplace, this involves:
Active listening
The provision of educational and
emotional support
A formalised method of recording
Creating opportunities for improvements
and clinical supervision
Techniques to manage team dynamics.
Legal perspective
Clinical supervision is an evolving process
with experiment and challenge as the
building blocks. From a legal perspective, it
would be worth bearing in mind that there
are some occasions when a supervisor
may have to disclose the records of a
clinical supervision session in court: -
If a request is made to disclose
condential records, advice should be
taken before disclosure
If clinical supervision is not a requirement
of an employment contract the
supervisor owns the records and can
keep them condential
Where clinical supervision is a
requirement of the employment contract
the employer owns the records, which
may be used in disciplinary proceedings
For these reasons it is very important
that the supervisee is happy with what is
written about them in the clinical supervision
record. (Royal College of Nursing 2002
and 2003).
Clinical supervision has resource, cost,
commitment and time implications.
Therefore, you may nd it useful to seek
out an existing local group or network,
which can help you implement clinical
supervision. Alternatively, you may seek an
independent supervisor for more one-to-
one help.
Which is right for you, one-to-
one or group supervision?
One to one:
- Condential
- Supportive
- Allows reection in your practice
- Objective prospective

demonstrate various strategies for what
we call walking. There are many factors
neurological, visceral, emotional, cultural,
and structural that can alter how we walk.
The number of possible interactions within
those factors would be too large to list and
would possibly require consultation with
just as many professionals to unravel. It is
for that reason that I have concentrated
on developing a model of normal,
nonpathological gait.
Your body is built for walking -
Gary Yanker
I believe the whole body walks. That might
sound like a ridiculously obvious thing to
say, but many schools of thought exist in
the modelling of gait that narrow their gaze
to analysing just one aspect of human
tall, straight, and very unstable structures.
We walk to move around, to take our
head and hands to other places, to achieve
needs and desires. This apparently simple
action requires a brain and nervous system;
it demands internal planning and an ability
to predict actions and reactions. It makes
use of the many other cooperative senses
that we have developed over millions of
years. For elegant and efcient walking,
each of our systems especially those of
sight, balance, and sensation must be
communicating in harmony. This requires
the coordination abilities of the brain and
nervous system.
Homo sapiens developed as generalists;
we can adapt to many different situations,
weaknesses, and disabilities. A glance at
the people on any city street will quickly
S
ports therapists will likely
treat sports persons from
near on all disciplines, from
dancing to football, squash
to skiing, but having a grasp
on the ability to walk will
affect all of us no matter
what our discipline.
Walking on two legs requires a
tremendous act of balance and is often
described as controlled falling if we do
not successfully put one foot in front of the
other, well fall to the ground. For our four-
legged friends, walking must be so much
easier, as they always have at least two
points of contact with the ground at any
one time. For us, walking requires the ability
to have just one foot on the ground and to
maintain some form of equilibrium within our

sports therapies
in which we can see the impact of
imbalanced segments and the strains that
gravity causes.
I believe the statement fully comes to
life, however, when we see the body working
as the walking system of the bones,
joint alignment, and the neuromyofascial
continuum. Our eyes are naturally drawn
to efcient, owing, graceful movement:
the joints moving freely in their designated
ranges and directions; the myofascia
receiving the appropriate information, both
from the somatic nervous system and from
sensing the mechanics of the surrounding
tissue. When all of these happen together,
we perceive a harmonious relationship, both
of the body within itself and of the body with
gravity.
It looks easy because it is. Nothing in the
body is being taken advantage of; there is
no overextension; and there is movement
everywhere. The whole body is working
as one to achieve its goal. When this
happens, we achieve efcient movement.
And strangely, it is the inherent instability of
our two-legged stance that produces this
efciency. n
in the fascia, and thereby we see the
role of the nervous system in this already
increasingly complicated story.
The impact of the foot on the ground
will send forces into the soft tissue along the
channels determined by the joints. These
changes are felt by the proprioceptors,
and an automatic response is created
by the neuromuscular system to control
the movement. Through the gait cycle,
the tibialis posterior (and all of the other
muscle units) will be constantly adjusting
its tension in response to the surrounding
events, reacting rst to the eversion of
the calcaneus and then to the ankle
dorsiexion.
Walking is posture in motion -
Mary Bond, The New Rules
of Posture
During my training in structural integration,
I would often hear the saying (almost a
mantra for some people) that we have to
live and align ourselves with gravity, that
gravity is both our friend and our enemy.
This always made perfect sense to me
in terms of static postural assessment,
motion. We use the whole body to walk:
the pelvis and legs are assisted by the
trunk and the arms. The whole body helps
balance and movement by increasing
and decreasing the forces moving through
the soft tissue. The whole body also works
to lessen the amount of distortion that
reaches the head. We need to keep our
eyes relatively level, and we certainly do
not want the force of impact rattling our
brains at each heel strike, so we require
the trunk and shoulder girdles to constantly
adapt to keep the head steady.
The three elements of the walking system
are comprised of the fascial, muscular, and
skeletal elements, these combine to form
a wonderful, symbiotic map of the forces
that travel through the body. The shapes
and contours of the bones and their joints
create pathways, like dry riverbeds, which,
come the ood, will direct the water along
preferred paths. The bones and joints assist
the body through a controlled pattern of
shock absorption, with the folding of joints
taking place along predictable lines that
send the force of impact into the semiuid
streams of myofascial tissue.
Understanding the natural inclination
of the bones and the way they move on
impact will allow us to interpret the role of
the soft tissues, which provided the other
systems are properly in place react to the
forces by keeping us upright and still moving
forward.
The myofascial tissues are not always
consciously directed (as most anatomy
books say they are) but are often reactive in
behavior. For example, the tibialis posterior
can be actively contracted to create
plantarexion and inversion, but its role in
walking is to react to the bodys interaction
with the ground to prevent, control, or
slow down eversion and dorsiexion. Its
contraction in walking is a response to
the lengthening of tissues around it as the
foot is planted on the ground its a totally
unconscious reaction (see g. 1.1). This
reaction is controlled by the proprioceptors

Ceremonial Therapies
for Native American
Veterans
Native American veterans battling Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder nd relief and
healing through an alternative treatment
called the Sweat Lodge ceremony
offered at the Spokane Veterans
Administration Hospital. In the Arizona
desert, wounded warriors from the Hopi
Nation can join in a ceremony called
Wiping Away the Tears. The traditional
cleansing ritual helps dispel a chronic
ghost sickness that can haunt survivors
of battle. These and other traditional
healing therapies are the treatment
of choice for many Native American
veterans, - half of whom, say usual PTSD
treatments dont work - according to a
recent survey conducted at Washington
State University. The ndings were
presented at the American Psychological
Association conference in Washington
D.C. in August 2014.
Led by Greg Urquhart and Matthew
Hale, both Native veterans and graduate
students in the WSU College of Education,
the ongoing study examines the attitudes,
perceptions, and beliefs of Native
American veterans concerning PTSD and
its various treatment options. Their goal is
to give Native veterans a voice in shaping
the types of therapies available in future
programs. Across the board, Native vets
So far, 253 veterans from all ve
branches of the military have completed
the survey and the majority of survey
takers felt that most people who suffer
from PTSD do not receive adequate
treatment, said Urquhart. For Native
veterans who did seek standard treatment,
the results were often disappointing.
Sixty per cent of survey respondents who
had attempted PTSD therapy reported
no improvement or very unsatised.
Individual counselling reportedly had
no impact on their PTSD or made the
symptoms worse for 49 per cent of
participants. On the other hand, spiritual or
religious guidance was seen as successful
or highly successful by 72 per cent of
Native respondents. Animal assisted
therapy - equine, canine, or other animals -
was also highly endorsed.
The team plans to distribute the survey
results to all U.S. tribes, tribal governments,
Native urban groups, and veteran warrior
societies. They also hope the departments
of Veterans Affairs and Indian Health
Services will take notice and continue
to incorporate more traditional healing
methods into their programs.

dont feel represented. Their voices have
been silenced and ignored for so long that
they were happy to provide feedback on
our survey, said Hale.
Urquhart said many Native veterans
are reluctant to seek treatment for PTSD
because typical western therapy options
dont represent the Native cultural
worldview. For many years, the U.S.
government banned Native religious
ceremonies, which subsequently limited
their use in PTSD programs, said Urquhart.
Seeking to remedy the situation, many
Veterans Administration hospitals now offer
traditional Native practices including talking
circles, vision quests, songs, drumming,
stories, sweat lodge ceremonies, gourd
dances and more. Elders or traditional
medicine men are also on staff to help
patients process their physical and
emotional trauma. Urquhart, who is also
Cherokee and developed mild symptoms
of PTSD after a tour as a cavalry scout in
Iraq, said there have been very few studies
on Native veterans and PTSD. He and
Hale designed their survey to be broader
and more inclusive than any previous
assessments. It is the rst to address the use
of equine therapy as a possible adjunct
to both western treatments and Native
ceremonial approaches.

Lost in translation
issues in Chinese
medicine
Researchers at the University of Alberta
are exploring the traditional Japanese
massage practice of shiatsu as a
potential treatment to help people who
suffer with chronic pain to fall asleep,
and stay asleep. A small pilot study
followed nine people living with chronic
pain as they self-administered shiatsu
pressure techniques on their hands at
bedtime. We know that sleep involves
both physiology and learning. You dont
just ip a switch and go to sleep, says
Cary Brown, an associate professor of
occupational therapy in the Faculty of
Rehabilitation Medicine. What we saw
with this pilot is that it appears self-shiatsu
may help your body to prepare for sleep
and help you stay asleep for longer
periods.
For the study, occupational therapy
and physical therapy students were
taught the basic shiatsu techniques and
in turn trained participants, who reported
falling asleep faster - sometimes even
while administering treatment - and
slept longer after two weeks and eight
weeks of treatment, compared with a
baseline measurement. Brown cautions
its impossible to draw strong conclusions
about the pilot given the small sample
size, self-reported nature of the data and
limitations in gender; however, she believes
the results are promising enough to warrant
further study. Brown also notes theres a
difference between people with pain
passively going to a therapist versus taking
control of their sleep problem in the form
of self-administering hand shiatsu, which
requires more mental effort - a theory of
cognitive attention that she would like to
explore further.
Hand shiatsu, when self-administered,
takes some concentration because our
minds cannot focus on two demands at
one time, she says, making it less likely that
negative thoughts would interfere with sleep.
The pilot was an attempt to explore low-cost,
unintimidating alternatives to drugs to help
people with chronic pain fall asleep, noting
medication is seldom recommended for
long-term use. n
Hand Shiatsu
for Insomnia
Millions of people in the West today
utilise traditional Chinese medicine,
including acupuncture, herbs, massage
and nutritional therapies. Yet only a few
schools that teach Chinese medicine
require Chinese-language training and
only a handful of Chinese medical texts
have so far been translated into English.
Given the complexity of the language
and concepts in these texts, there is a need
for accurate, high-quality translations, say
researchers at UCLAs Centre for East-West
Medicine. To that end, the centre has
published a document that includes a
detailed discussion of the issues involved
in Chinese medical translation, which is
designed to help students, educators,
practitioners, researchers, publishers and
translators evaluate and digest Chinese
medical texts with greater sensitivity and
comprehension.
The 15-page document, Considerations
in the Translation of Chinese Medicine was
developed and written by a UCLA team
that included a doctor, an anthropologist, a
China scholar and a translator. It appears in
the current online edition of the Journal of
Integrative Medicine. Authors Sonya Pritzker,
a licensed Chinese medicine practitioner
and anthropologist, and Hanmo Zhang,
a China scholar, hope the publication will
promote communication in the eld and
play a role in the development of thorough,
accurate translations. The document
highlights several important topics in the
translation of Chinese medical texts,
including the history of Chinese medical
translations, which individuals make ideal
translators, and other translation-specic
issues, such as the delicate balance
of focusing translations on the source-
document language while considering the
language it will be translated into.
It also addresses issues of technical
terminology, period-specic language
and style, and historical and cultural
perspective. For example, depending on
historical circumstances and language
use, some translations may be geared
toward a Western scientic audience or,
alternately, it may take a more natural
and spiritual tone. The authors note that
it is sometimes helpful to include dual
translations in order to facilitate a link
between traditional Chinese medical
terms and biomedical diagnoses. The nal
section of the document calls for further
discussion and action, specically in the
development of international collaborative
efforts geared toward the creation of more
rigorous guidelines for the translation of
Chinese medicine texts. n

Trees are saving more than 850
American lives a year and preventing
670,000 incidences of acute respiratory
symptoms, according to the rst broad,
nationwide estimate of air pollution
removal by trees. Conducted by
scientists from the US Forest Services
Northern Research Station in Newtown
Square, PA, the study is published in the
journal Environmental Pollution.
Trees are known to affect the quality of
the air by directly removing air pollutants.
This process happens when trees intercept
pollution particles and the harmful gases
diffuse within their leaves, where they are
absorbed by lms of water to form acids.
Previous research has estimated that
urban trees in the US remove about
711,000 tons of pollution a year. However,
trees exist across the nation in varying
densities, so air pollution removal and
impact on human health may vary from
region to region. The researchers behind
the new study set out to assess the amount
of air pollution permanently removed
by trees.
Capsaicin - could reduce the risk of
colorectal cancer, according to a
new study published in The Journal
of Clinical Investigation. Researchers
found that capsaicin - the ingredient
that gives chili peppers their heat -
activated a pain receptor in mice that
reduced tumor development in their gut.'
The research team, including senior
author Dr. Eyal Raz, professor of medicine at
the University of California-San Diego School
of Medicine, found that capsaicin activated
a pain receptor called TRPV1 in mice, which
reduced tumour development in their gut.
The researchers genetically modied
mice to be TRPV1-decient, and found that
they experienced a much higher rate of
intestinal tumour growth, compared with
mice who had an active form of TRPV1. This
indicates, the team says, that TRPV1 usually
works to suppress tumours in the intestines.
Furthermore, the team found that capsaicin
appears to play a role in activating TRPV1.
Capsaicin is the heat-generating
ingredient in chilli peppers that come from
the Capsicum genus, such as jalapeo
peppers. In their study, the team fed
capsaicin to mice that were genetically
susceptible to the development of multiple
tumours in the gut.
They found that the component reduced
tumour development in the mice by
activating TRPV1 and extended their lifespan
by more than 30%. Dr. Raz notes that TRPV1
mutations have previously been uncovered
in molecular studies of human colorectal
cancer samples, but as yet, there is no
evidence suggesting that TRPV1 deciency
in humans increases the risk of colorectal
cancer.
Could chilli
peppers reduce
the risk of
colorectal
cancer?
Within the study, they assessed four
pollutants for which the Environmental
Protection Agency has established air
quality standards: nitrogen dioxide, ozone,
sulphur dioxide and particulate matter less
than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) in aerodynamic
diameter.
The researchers found that the air
pollution removal offered by trees equates
to an average air quality improvement
of less than 1%, but even that small-
sounding improvement has substantial
impact. The authors estimate that 850
human lives are saved each year as
part of this air quality improvement, and
that 670,000 cases of acute respiratory
symptoms are prevented. They were also
able to attach a monetary value to the
improvement in human health from the
reduced air pollution, which works out at
nearly $7 billion each year. The removal
of pollution was found to be substantially
higher in rural than urban areas, although
the effects on human health from pollution
removal were found to be substantially
greater in urban areas. n

The Five Tibetans
Yoga Workshop:
Tone Your Body and
Transform Your Life
By Susan L Westbrook
For the uninitiated, The Five
Tibetans are the legendary
yogalike poses reportedly
part of the daily practice of
monastic monks in Tibet who
performed the ve exercises
to balance the energy of the
chakras and to enhance vigor
and vitality. Westbrook spends
a little time explaining the his-
tory of the Five Tibetans and the
lore surrounding them as the
Rites of Rejuvenation or the
fountain of youth. But the core
of this book encourages a daily
practice of the Five Tibetans
yoga and contemplation of
the accompanying mantras
and chakras. It is a unique ap-
proach to personal transforma-
tion, which Westbrook breaks
into three parts. The rst involves
learning the exercises and
becoming acquainted with
what Westbrook calls the stars
of the show the grasping and
healing behaviors. In the sec-
ond part, she ventures deeper
into grasping behaviors and
identies them as confusion,
resentment, doubt, fear and
miserliness and reects on how
they inuence our lives and
relationships. The nal section
offers the antidotes to grasp-
ing as vulnerability, surrender,
authenticity, awareness and
connection and how a commit-
ment to these healing behav-
iors impacts our lives.

H
owever, it seems that
a) most of them get left in
the back of a cupboard or
b) we didnt actually need
them in the rst place.
Sometimes both a) and b)
apply!
There are nine main vitamins we can nd
in everyday food crops and all of them can
be grown at home. Vitamins D and B12 are
absorbed through sunlight, and in meat and
dairy products, so unless you are keeping
your own hens, some vitamins will have to
be bought in - although that still doesnt
mean hitting the pill bottles! Buy organic
fresh produce as far as possible and grow
the rest of the vitamins you and your family
need:
Vitamin C
Probably the most talked about vitamin,
but we often cook out a lot of the
goodness from vegetables, apart from
tomatoes. They are one of the rare foods
that hold their vitamin C during cooking,
so grow lots! Other garden produce high in
vitamin C includes blackcurrants, peppers
and strawberries. Peppers need to be
planted every year, but strawberries and
blackcurrants need a permanent patch.
Vitamin A
Well, yes apparently carrots really do help
you see in the dark! One medium carrot
can provide all the recommended daily
allowance of vitamin A, which helps vision,
and also acts as an antioxidant in the body
to help ght off free radicals. Pumpkin
is another good source of vitamin A, as
well as winter kale, so remember to plant
some before the summers out. Fresh green
vegetables in the winter will help ward off
colds and u.
Vitamin B1
Vitamin B1 converts carbohydrates and
fats into energy so for a boost of daily
energy, keep up with the B1. Foods rich in
this vitamin are broad beans (which can be
grown twice a year), sweet corn, hazelnuts
and garlic. Garlic is easy to grow in a small
space and will add that touch of je ne
sais quoi to your cooking! Sweetcorn and
hazelnuts need a bit more space, but
are simple to grow and are popular and
nutritious family foods.
Vitamin B2
Although vitamin B2 can be found in
spinach and is easy to grow in the home
garden, we could diversify a little here and
go for different tastes. Mushrooms are a
good source of B2 and can be grown in
kit form indoors. Salsify is a vegetable that
many of us have forgotten about. It used
to be called the oyster vegetable and is
a great root crop as long as you have a
good depth of soil in the veggie patch.
Vitamin B6
This is where we can hit the good old-
fashioned staples. Potatoes and onions are
a good source of vitamin B6. If you worry
about potatoes being a weight gaining
food, a fresh potato straight from the
ground doesnt need any additional butter,
cheese or other toppings to make it tasty!
Buy a specially designed potato barrel to
save space - and digging! And onions, if
stored well, will last for months.
Vitamin E
Asparagus and raspberries have often
been considered to be luxury crops - this
is probably because they are so expensive
in the shops. They are both perfect for
the home-grower. Both crops go on for
years with very little attention. Asparagus is
cropped during the hungry gap - after the
winter crops have nished and before the
spring crops begin. And raspberries turn up
in early summer usually.
Foliate
Foliate isnt made by the body so must
come from a good source. Luckily it is
found in everyday veggies we can grow at
home. Beetroot and green beans are good
sources of foliate. Another source, that we

often dont realise, is parsley. Chop parsley
nely and sprinkle over your food, rather
than leave it on the side of the plate as an
inedible garnish - it is really packed full of
goodness.
Niacin
Niacin (B3) is one of the most active
vitamins in the body and breaks down fats
and sugars. It is generally found in protein
rich foods such as meat, sh and pulses.
Courgettes (zucchini) are a good source
of niacin and can crop right through the
summer and autumn months. Peas are
also high in niacin and can be started
off early in the year. Peas are a good
vegetable to grow in the home vegetable
patch as they can replace nitrogen in
the soil.
Pantothenic Acid (B5)
Another of the B vitamins, this one is
needed to produce B12 which helps
maintain cell structure in the blood. Avo-
cados are a good source of B5 as well as
broccoli and parsnips. Parsnips are best left
in the ground until after the rst frost so are
a great winter vegetable. They also store
well. Try growing different types of broc-
coli; dwarf varieties are ideal for container
growing.
Dont forget that all of these crops
mentioned have other vitamins and
minerals apart from the ones listed above,
and the best way to feed yourself and your
family is to grow an assortment of fruit and
vegetables, and remember to eat them!

spa & wellness
A
growing number of
UK spas are offering
services and packages
specically developed
for clients who are
receiving medical
treatment for, or
are recovering from an injury or illness,
including cancer. An expert in the spa
sector and director of the Good Spa Guide,
Daphne Metland, shares her ndings.
Most people will experience illness or
injury at some point in their lives. In the
past the good old NHS not only dealt with
the immediate problems but also offered
convalescent care as well. Now, with the
NHS so stretched, people are unlikely to
get a week at a convalescent home in the
country, or even just follow up physiotherapy.
Many people are using a trip to a spa
as part of their recovery from illness. Just
spending some time relaxing will, of course,
help people feel better, but some spas are
offering specic recovery programmes,
and a few have even trained their therapists
to deliver treatments for people who have
been treated for cancer.
Massage is useful for anyone feeling
over stressed or just below par. Specic
types of massage can be used for specic
conditions.
Aromatherapy can work for people
dealing with the side effects of the
menopause, or anyone who suffers with
migraines or tension headaches.
Deep tissue massage is helpful for
muscular and sports injuries.
Acupuncture and acupressure
can be used for conditions involving
inammation.
Reexology and Reiki are gentle
treatments that can make anyone
feeling under the weather or emotionally
fragile feel better.
Meditation and counselling are useful
when emotional issues are preventing
proper healing.
Of course as a therapist it is very
important that you have the right training to
deliver the treatments.
General Recovery Packages
Most UK spas offer holistic therapies which
can help during the recovery process.
Grand-dame of health retreats Ragdale
Hall offers 28 different therapies that can
help soothe your mind and body. From
nutritional consultation to hypnotherapy
to acupuncture, this destination spa and
their team of experts can help address
concerns from pain management to post-
surgery care. Ragdale also have a suite of
Aquagym tness equipment which allows
for very low impact exercise.
SenSpa at Careys Manor offers a range
of health checks and holistic therapies
including KORE therapy, Reiki, healthy heart
assessment, personal training and core
stability training. They also have wheelchair-
accessible facilities and trained staff to
support disabled guests.
The Vale offers gentle treatments for
people who are recovering from illness or
injury with a focus on holistic and relaxing
sessions. Debbie Searle, spa manager at
The Vale, recommends Reiki and gentle
reexology for soothing treatment options
during a spa day.
The Mere Golf Resort and Spa use
the Babor organic range for those who
need gentler, organic products during
a treatment. Theres a ramp into the spa
and wide corridors for those who use a
wheelchair or those with limited mobility and
all of the treatment beds can be lowered for
easier access.
Post Cancer Packages
The good news is that cancer treatments
have improved so much over the last few
years that many more people are surviving
cancer. Treating someone who is having
cancer treatments, or in the recovery
phase, does need specialised training.
There are many different types of cancer
and many different treatments available.
The type of cancer, the location and
the type of treatment can all inuence
which treatments are safe and which are
not. During chemotherapy for instance
aromatherapy oils should not be used
as radiotherapy can cause thinning of
the skin.
Rockliffe Hall has specialist therapists
who will talk to the person on the phone
prior to arrival and will incorporate advice
on all aspects of using the spa. Specically
designed for people who are suffering with,
or recovering from cancer, their overnight
package incorporates a treatment,
lunch, dinner, breakfast and overnight

accommodation. Therapist Karen Jennings,
who trained on a course run by Butterwick
Hospice and the University of Teeside, says
that most treatments can be adapted:
Sometimes it is something as simple as
doing a massage with the person on their
side if they cannot lie on their stomach. Or
it may be giving a gentle massage rather
than a deep tissue massage, or not using
aromatherapy oils during chemotherapy.
Grayshott has a long history in helping
guests recuperate and recover from illness
or injury. They have a team of qualied
nurses, nutritionists, tness experts and a
medical advisory board. They offer long
term stays and can assist with recovery from
illness, sports injuries, post-surgery or
chemotherapy care and respite care.
All of the therapy team at St Brides
Spa Hotel have training in the treatment
of guests receiving or recovering from
oncology care. Its Cwtch spa day has an
extended greeting period to allow time to
talk through requirements with the therapist.
All of the treatment products are organic
(where possible) and the treatments focus
on healing, nourishing and relaxing.
All spas need to ask customers to
discuss medical conditions when booking
so that preparations can be made and
treatment options discussed. Finding out
on the day that someone has a condition
that may prevent them having a treatment
is disappointing for the customer and
embarrassing for the therapist.
Often, part of recovery is about feeling
human again. It doesnt matter what type
of illness or injury youve been through,
having some grooming treatments can
make you feel more like yourself. In 2012, I
fell down a ight of stairs, bashed my head
and broke my back in two places. Doctors,
nurses, paramedics, a physio, homeopathy,
massage and a counsellor all helped me
on my road to recovery. But it was amazing
how much losing my hair affected my self-
image: logically it wasnt as important as
many other things I was experiencing, but
every time I looked in the mirror I wanted
to cry. The day I could have my hair styled
really lifted my spirits. So even grooming
treatments can help a person on the road
to recovery.
Guests who have had a hard time both
physically and emotionally can benet from
spa treatments but it is important to make
sure that you are trained and capable of
offering the right sort of support.
Therapist Checklist
Allow extra time for consultation before
the treatment starts. Let the client tell you
what they need. People are often the
expert on their condition.
Be prepared to adapt the treatment.
You may have to reduce the pressure of
massage or avoid certain parts of the
body for instance.
Check that they can lie down on the
bed. They may need to have extra
cushions to get comfortable, or you may
need to carry out the treatment with the
person on their side or in a massage
chair or beanbag instead of lying down.
Check before raising the head of the
bed electrically. Many people with back
problems nd this painful and they may
prefer to turn on their side rst, and then
get themselves up.
If you feel you do not have the skills to
deliver the chosen treatment safely say
so tactfully and offer another treatment.
Find out about courses in your area that
will give you the skills to cope with people
who have been ill or injured. n

As experienced complementary
therapists, we should be looking to the
next generation of complementary
therapist to maintain standards and
grow the industry further and forward,
so that hopefully in the not too distant
future, complementary therapies will
become a mainstream form of
health care.
The student of today is the future
of tomorrow, and we must ensure that
they are supported upon entering the
world of work after leaving college.
Newly qualied students who would
have received ongoing support from
tutors throughout their training often
feel left out on a limb after graduating,
as that support is no longer available.
Which is where we come in. As
employers, mentors, members and
fellow therapists, we should be offering
students encouragement, advice
and support to ensure their transition
is smooth and feels less daunting. So
if students/newly qualied students
attend your local group meetings or
clinics, please show some support. n

co-ordinator prole
I love exercise and exercise loves me. I
have always taken part in some kind of
exercise; dancing, swimming, running and
gym. My job as a veterinary nurse (24 years
now) and later as a therapist, that I love to
do (17 years) required that I kept t and well
in order to carry out to my work properly.
I started running 27 years ago. Short
distances of about 1-2 miles around a local
park and my estate. It helped me keep in
shape and deal with any build up of stress.
I found that exercise helped to lift my spirits
and release positive endorphins in my
body and big stresses became little ones
that were not worth noticing and certain
situations were easily resolved. It also
helped with some injuries I had sustained.
A damaged spine from a car accident in
1997 and a split pelvis from a bad fall in
2007. Each was very incapacitating and
threatened my way of life and my work. I
found it hard at times to move and walk
anywhere let alone work effectively. My
injuries also affected my self-esteem and
exercise helped me to keep going when
otherwise I would have given up. A GP
referral was the rst step back to the road of
recovery and also being honest with myself.
I recognised areas in my life and habits that
were holding me back and I began cutting
them out and creating new healthier habits.
In 2012 when I turned 40 yrs old. I started
to lengthen my running. More to help
someone with their training for a marathon.
I found that it gave me such a great feeling
of achievement that it spurred me on to try
more and more, further and further. I found
it actually helped with my injuries and I felt
wonderful.
I had never been that keen to
take part in races up until then. Being a
spectator myself at several races in support
of other athletic people, gave me insight
to all that was involved as well as the
fabulous atmosphere of encouragement
and good will. In January 2013 I took
part in my rst race involving 5 miles of
hills, mud, bog, and chilly wet weather. I
felt fantastic. People were so nice. Other
runners were so helpful and supportive. All
this provoked very strong emotions during
the entire experience. I felt nauseous
with excitement at the start, but when I
crossed the nish line the elation I felt, the
sense of achievement and success were
overwhelming and I felt like crying. I felt
so alive.
Through running, I found that a lot
of runners experience some form of
depression and bipolar, as well as low
self esteem and lack of self condence
and that running and taking part in races
helped an awful lot with the effect it all had
on the body with the release of anxiety and
the increase of positive endorphins. It can
be very addictive. I also found that my view
on massage for sports people changed
quite a lot. I experienced rst hand what
can happen and how helpful the right
guidance can be.
I have now completed 5 marathons,
and I plan to complete at least 3 more this
year. I love it all and never dreamed I would
get this far, especially with the injuries I
had. We are a very resilient race and I urge
everyone to push themselves, you may
be surprised at what you can achieve, I
certainly was. n

U
nable to nd a simple
solution to assist with a very
hectic schedule EL-Azar
Levy and his partner set
up BookedinREd, which is a
two way appointment book
that allows you to specify
the hours that you want to be available for
your clients. Your clients will book a session
and both parties will receive an email
with the conrmation of the appointment.
Amazingly, BookedinRED (unlike most other
online appointment books) is absolutely
free to use! El-Azar explains the features of
this great new service below.
BookedinRED has simplied my life as
all different business commitments are
merged into two appointment books. One
my Outlook at work the other my Samsung
smart phone when on the road. So at any
time I am alerted of any changes.
Before having BookedinRED I kept
my records in Outlook and my mobile
phone, as I do now, but it was a mess. I
would constantly make errors, on over/
under booking clients, getting the hours
incorrect; it was a complete mess! I had
to nd a solution. I also had issues with
clients sending me text messages to book
a session and they would arrive 3 days later
(thanks to Orange) and therefore then
lost clients.
I needed a solution, so looking through
the web I found a number, not all the
features I wanted, not all the exibility, and
when I found a solution that I liked, I realised
I had to sign a lengthy contract with an
initial fee and a monthly fee attached. So I
spoke to a good friend, whom I must say is
amazing at what he does. His rst comment
was no problem, second was no charge,
and third was I will show you something on
Monday.
The BookedinRED System
We went live with BookedinRED some three
months ago and have received some
great feedback from users. While the
solution was designed for practitioners,
we have come to realise absolutely any
one can use the service. Currently we
have users that are beauticians, massage
therapists, IT professionals, accountants, an
architect, nail technicians, physiotherapists,
sports trainers and yoga instructors. We also
have tattoo studios, a hypnosis clinic and
a bridge club all taking advantage of our
service.
life, you can program it to show the days/
hours you are available and when a
booking happens both parties get a
conrmation by email as well as being
added to your mobile and xed calendars,
or both. If a cancellation is made, the
appointment will rstly be removed from
BookedinRED, which in turn is removed from
other devices. So it saves you time and the
headache of doing it yourself.
If you have more than one BookedinRED
account you can have all appointments
added to your Outlook under different
colour codes. For example, massage in red,
training in green, social events in blue.
Different Settings
BookedinRED can be used with
many different settings. For example,
appointments can be set up to require
approval, so after each booking the other
party needs to conrm. Another setting
provides automatic conrmation, so
appointments are automatically conrmed
the moment they are booked.
Users can also congure one to one
sessions for a massage for instance, or
group sessions which would be required for
a yoga class. You can also add features
like a crche and you can even add the
crche capacity etc.
Each person that signs up to
BookedinRED must give their telephone
number, which is then used for the clients
unique BookedinRED address. We all strive
to get our customers to memorise our
phone numbers. By them using BIR they
will hopefully become so familiar with the
telephone number they will memorise it, as
it forms part of the address to their calendar:
www.bookedinred.co.uk/07966269636
BIR can be used by venues & functions
such as a Bridge Club or other events
THE FREE ONLINE BOOKING SYSTEM
BOOKEDINRED
As a new business, we want to give the
best service possible and through using
the system for the past few months, we
realised that there was scope to build on
our services and so have added some new
features and updated some of the old ones
in our second release, which is out now!
Appointments are done in BookedinRED,
and then get added to Outlook, Android
devices or iPhone Calendars automatically.
An appointment can be made directly
from mobile phones, as the website is
mobile friendly.
BookedinRED will become your public

business world
where you need only a certain number
of clients per session. When the slots are
booked for that hour, no one else can book
for the 10:00. BookedinRED really does
make it simple. The sign up is real easy; all
we need is the name of the business, email
address and telephone number.
BookedinRED Users
Ibellabeauty.co.uk uses BookedinRED they
have a link from their web site directly to
BookedinRED giving their clients the easy
access to make a booking for a treatment.
Ibellabeauty could use BookedinRED even
though each appointment would last over
several hours.
Gethealed.co.uk uses BookedinRED, there
is link from the web site to BookedinREDs
calendar. They have a few hours during the
week but longer hours in the weekend.
AccuPOS.co.uk UK uses BookedinRED
for all online appointments. The company
currently uses two different accounts within
the BookedinRED system: one for sales and
one for technical assistance. All of their
appointments are added directly in their
companys outlook. The staff therefore,
know each day all the appointments and
schedules. BookedinRED is also used as
a bulletin board, where their 800+
customers can see any special events or
if services are not available, such as on
staff training days.
There are a number of clients that
also are using the BIR as a public notice
board on dates available, but I believe
that its just a matter of time for them
to fully adopt the system. There are no
restrictions on BookedinRED, one can make
unlimited accounts, one can make any
setting they wish, one can link into Outlook,
Google calendar, IPhone, Android and
any other modern smart phone. Setting
up a BookedinRED calendar is absolutely
free of any charges. So whats the catch?
There is no catch! The reason they can
offer the service free of charge is that the
BookedinRED Business Module is to generate
income from adverts and/or sponsorship.

THE CTHA REST & RELAXATION ZONE
T
he countdown is on
to the UKs leading
annual event for
complementary
healthcare
practitioners
and therapists,
Camexpo. The move to
Olympias Central Hall marks
an exciting new development
for Camexpo, which has
enjoyed continued industry
prominence and support
throughout its 12-year history.
Inspiring, informative, busy,
brilliant, and enjoyable are
just some of the words the
shows attendees (4,982 in
all) have used to describe
the 2013 show. Similarly,
88% of surveyed exhibitors
rated their show experience
as excellent/good praising
the quality, enthusiasm,
and engagement of the
thousands of highly focused
and informed visitors walking
the aisles. For 2014, organiser
Diversied Communications
UK is looking to build on that
momentum. From new start-
ups with compelling origin
stories to well-established
brand pioneers championing
new formulations backed with
clinical efciency the CAM
market is ourishing with new
natural health and beauty
products for practitioners and
retailers to source.
Big name suppliers keen
to repeat their success at
Camexpo last year (which
Camexpo New CThA
Rest & Relaxation Zone
many called their best show yet)
include Bionutri, Solgar Vitamins,
A Vogel (Bioforce), G&G Vitamin
Centre, Koko Dairy Free, Natures
Plus, Physique Management
Company, Premier Research
Labs, Really Healthy Company,
Rio Trading Company Health
Ltd, Springeld Nutraceuticals
BV, and The Green People
Company. Nutrigold, one of
the UKs leading suppliers of
naturopathic products, also
makes a welcome return this
year. Nearly a third of the shows
200 exhibitors are new to the
show for 2014. Among them are

uniforms for healthcare
professionals), Jennifer Young
(customised natural and
organic skin care products);
Sukrin (natural and free-from
wholefoods, bake mixes and
sugar alternatives), and The
Chia Company (the worlds
largest producer of all natural
raw chia seeds). Supplement
specialists PurePharma,
lipolife, Bioavia (organic red
wine grape skin powder), and
Calm Natural (the bestselling
magnesium supplement in the
USA) will also be making their rst
appearances this year.
One of the biggest draws
for many repeat visitors to
Camexpo is its comprehensive
array of training opportunities
from its CPD-accredited
education programme
(including over 100 seminars,
workshops and demos) to scores
of exhibitors demonstrating their
latest techniques, methods,
and courses. The Institute of
Sport & Remedial Massage
(ISRM), Fertility Massage
Training, Integrative Health
Education, European College
of QINOpractic Medicine,
and WellsBeing Technique
are just some of the new
training providers exhibiting this
year. They join The College of
Integrated Chinese Medicine,
College of Naturopathic
Medicine, Myofascial Release
UK & Ireland, and Jing Institute
of Advanced Massage Training.
In addition to the whole
host of new and exciting things
happening at Camexpo this
year, the highlight for us is
the launch of the CThA Rest
& Relaxation Zone which will
provide a tranquil haven away
from the hustle and bustle of
the busy show oor. The Rest
& Relaxation Zone will be the
place for visitors to go to take
the weight off their feet, relax
and receive a free treatment.
In the Rest & Relaxation Zone
Camexpo New CThA
Rest & Relaxation Zone
you will be able to choose from
a range of short, non-intrusive
taster treatments to make your
stress and tension simply melt
away.
Taster treatments include:
Hand & arm massage
Foot massage
Neck & shoulder massage
Reiki
Touch Pro
All treatments are
complimentary but there is
a suggested donation of 5
to the Haven Charity, which
will be matched by the CThA
at the close of the show. The
Haven Charity is based in
Fulham and supports women
with breast cancer by offering
a wide range of emotional,
physical and practical support
which includes over 40
complementary therapies,
counselling, nutritional advice,
exercise classes, nancial
advice and support groups.

ith one in four
adults now
classied as
obese in the
UK, the nations
expanding
waistline is just
one of the major health problems being
tackled at this years Camexpo. This years
event will feature a host of expert Keynote
speakers addressing some of the biggest
issues facing the health care profession
today, including cancer, auto-immunity
and chronic disease. Obesity, one of the
leading causes of preventable deaths
and diseases in the UK, is the subject of
the events rst ever panel debate, which
will feature Tam Fry, spokesman for the
National Obesity Forum.
According to the latest statistics from
The Chief Medical Ofcer (CMO) Professor
Dame Sally Daviess report on the state of
the publics health, 61.9% of adults and 28%
of children aged between 2 and 15 are now
overweight or obese in the UK. In just over
thirty years, the number of obese adults has
more than tripled to 25% of the population
(compared to 7% in 1980). Whilst forecasts
for the next thirty years and beyond could
see that gure rise well past 50%, according
to the National Obesity Forums latest
report the State of the Nations Waistline.
Published earlier this year, the forums report
highlighted that there was no quick x. It
calls for more hard hitting public health
campaigns, and greater training of
family GPs to help patients manage their
weight. If it is left unchecked, it predicts the
obesity epidemic could reach unparalleled
proportions by 2050 and see related health
costs spiralling upward of 50bn a year.
Speaking ahead of his appearance
at the show, Tam Fry says its unlikely that
there will be any action to solve the UKs
appalling obesity problem this side of the
2015 general election.
The National Obesity Forum is a charity,
which was formed in 2000 to demand that
government legislated decisively for the
treatment/prevention of obesity, says Fry.
The fact that the current epidemic has
escalated hugely since then would indicate
that its endeavours had been somewhat
in vain. And youd be right, Although
successive administrations had promised
much but done comparatively little, he
says, he is hopeful that advocacy will win
out in the end. I invite Camexpo visitors to
come up with a solution to end obesity that
has eluded everyone else, he says, This
panel session has been created to give you
that chance. Use it.
The Obesity Panel Debate, in association
with The National Obesity Forum, at
Camexpo will take place at 3.15pm on
Sunday 5 October. Panellists include
hormone health specialist Dr Alyssa Burns-
Hill, Jayney Goddard - President of The
Complementary Medical Association (The
CMA), and Dr Robert Verkerk - executive
& scientic director of campaign group
Alliance for Natural Health International
(ANH-Intl).
The sooner the debate on obesity
moves away from blaming excess calories,
saturated fat and not enough exercise,
and abandons a search for a one-size-
ts-all solution, the sooner well see a
downturn in the escalation of the condition,
comments Verkerk. The only health sector
that actually offers reproducible, effective,
sustainable strategies to combat obesity
is complementary medicine, says the
CMAs Jayney Goddard. Obesity is not
simply a matter of overeating it goes
much deeper than that and if the mental/
emotional and food addiction factors,
which are the underlying cause of obesity,
are not addressed sufferers are doomed to
failure. This forthcoming panel debate at
Camexpo is an important and timely event
which will undoubtedly be pivotal in showing
the world what complementary, holistic
strategies can do to realistically combat the
obesity pandemic, she concludes.

training and education
Mr. Emmett, a former professional boxer,
prison ofcer and dog judge, began
working his Emmett Technique in with
massage to relieve his workmates back
pain, shoulder pain and sciatica pain over
30 years ago, which led to his career as
a therapist and teacher. He qualied as
a massage therapy instructor in 1983 with
the Queensland Association of Massage
Therapists. Using massage to relax and
assess muscular tension, he used his
Emmett Technique to make the required
correctional changes in muscular status
for signicant improvement to range of
movement and reduction of pain. His
typical client load is over 100 per week.
The technique is applied with either light
touch at two holding points simultaneously
or a one directional move over specic
locations on the body. The Emmett
Technique aims to correct body alignment
issues quickly, with minimal client pain
and therapist effort. It isnt physiotherapy,
massage or Bowen, but rather a unique
form of therapy and has earned him
international attention as one of the rising
stars in his eld. I have trained all kinds
of therapists from medical practitioners,
doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapists,
acupuncturists, massage therapists, Bowen
therapists and nurses, he said. Currently,
he is living his vision of making the course
available to all remedial therapists. His
course has been endorsed by the Australian
Association of Massage Therapists and is
covered by all health professional insurers
here in the UK.
Many admirers of the Emmett Technique
say the point of difference over other
therapies was that clients could expect to
see a reduction in pain or discomfort before
they left the appointment. Mr. Emmett says
relieving lower back pain would typically
take a lot of work using conventional
massage, but with his technique it might be
achieved in just a few minutes. Its short,
sharp and to the point and if it doesnt work,
clients are referred on. For sports people,
it is a quick treatment, with quick release
and quick action which means less time off
the eld. For frail people, babies or others
with restricted mobility the treatment is
gentle and less intrusive that other forms of
massage. I rst taught my technique in the
UK in 2007 and now have trained a small
number of skilled therapists to share my
technique to massage therapists and others
interested in extending their skills. Another
element of the Emmett Technique is that
it is kinder on the therapists hands and
joints than many other applications, thus
extending the career of many therapists!
Training Courses
The Emmett Technique Practitioners
Course is suitable for therapists and
The Emmett Technique
medical professionals, although non-
therapists are welcome. It comprises
6 modules, of which Modules 1 & 2
are taught together as a two-day unit.
Subsequent modules are two days long:
one day of review and one day of new
material.
The EMM-Tech Short Course is suitable
for anyone - carers, trainers, coaches
and the general public. It is also a good
introduction for therapists to the Emmett
Technique. Participants learn releases
selected from the full course in an 8 hour
day or two 4 hour sessions.

it to me and the results are fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic product
My skin absorbs this product immediately
so there is no oily residue. I put this on
before bed every night to rehydrate my skin.
