PROTECTIVE FOODS SUPPORT RESISTANCE TO DISEASE: fresh certified organic vegetables, fruit and berries provides protective vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Plant enzymes assist our digestive enzymes.
ENERGY GIVING FOODS SUPPORT GENERAL VITALITY: below ground vegetables, fruit, berries, wholegrain and honey.
BODY BUILDING FOODS SUPPORT TISSUE REPAIR: dairy products, eggs, nuts, legumes and leafy green vegetables.

 2. Traditional naturopathic nutrition considers 4/5 of vegetarian diet should comprise alkaline food ( fruit and vegetables), the acid portion is other foods to varying degrees.

 3. Target foods are considered vital during treatment: a  particular certified organic target food or food group reduces the need for vitamin / mineral supplements.

Peter has 39 years and Lyn has 23 as remedial massage providers. 

 5 things you need to know about traditional remedial massage

 1. Case history is taken to determine  treatment protocol and  precautions that should be taken for pregnancy and chronic disease
clients.

 2. Traditional remedial massage purpose is to safely restore proper musculoskeletal movement and reduce pain.

 3.  Longterm back pain may point to serious organ problems,  herbal treatment is often justified for better recovery rather than weekly massage sessions. 

 4. Remedial massage avoids forceful techniques to protect tissue damage and pain.

 5. Treatment duration and followup frequency is based on musculoskeletal responses- slow responses point to followups at 3-4 week intervals, quick responses points to followups at 6-12 weeks.
In acute serious cases it may be necessary for shorter followups.

Western Cupping

Therapy

5 things you need to know about western cupping

 1. Traditional Western Cupping involves the use of specially made glass suction cups, where you apply a flame to extract air and then  placed on local areas that draws out muscle tissue in treatment of health problems.

 2. Cupping stimulates improvement to the body's healing capacity in the treatment of lung conditions and chronic muscle pain.

 3. Safe clinical cupping always undertakes a case history first. This is because frail skin, chronic lung problems, tumours, pregnancy, cancer, menses and exhaustion are not appropriate for cupping.

 4. Glass cups placed on a segment of the spine may be able to settle inflamed kidneys, ease emotional stress, counter digestive upsets and relieve muscle stiffness.

 5. Cupping may be able to identify a dormant problem during treatment. This useful method might prevent organ failure or damage, so long as herbal medicine is introduced early enough.

 4. The healing power of herbal medicine proves useful in both acute and chronic problems.

 5. Western herbal medicine has built reliable written records spanning approximately 3,000 years, showing safe and efficient treatment outcomes

Clinical Aromatherapy

A woman receiving aromatherapy in Rockhampton
 Lyn has a Diploma of Aromatherapy.


5 things you need to know about clinical aromatherapy

 1. Aromatherapy involves use of essential oils derived from plants, which can be applied to the skin, inhalation or through specific massage techniques to help with physical and emotional problems.

 2. A case history is taken and the clinical aromatherapist prescribes a personalised essential oil combination diluted in a vegetable oil base for safe clinical outcomes.

 3.  At Rockhampton Health Options we use practitioner grade essential oils, certified organic if available.

 4. Essential oils are particularly useful breathing problems, and to assist better immunity.

 5. Be aware that essential oils can be adulterated, which is acceptable in perfumery but not therapeutic treatment. Synthetic oils also have no use in clinical aromatherapy. Lyn takes great pride in  sourcing Australian manufactured oils and also Australian native oils where possible.

 Remedial Lymphatic Massage is an advanced system of lymphatic drainage training developed by Peter; the course was a recognised training program with the Queensland Swedish Massage Institute. Techniques are not painful. The intent is to promote lymphatic system health. 

Conditions treatable with remedial lymphatic massage include fluid retention, joint stiffness, muscle soreness, stress, bronchial conditions, sinus congestion plus nausea. 

Normally, improvement gained from the first treatment, which  usually goes with deep relaxation. Treatment is done through clothing, so you don’t need to undress.
