WHAT
IS NATUROPATHY?
Naturopathy is a
form of natural medicine that has been traditionally practiced
throughout the world for centuries, and has recently made resurgence in
popularity and credibility.
Naturopathy
focuses on uncovering and treating the cause of disease rather than just
covering up the presenting symptoms felt by the patient. Naturopaths
believe that health is, or should be, the most natural state of being.
Naturopathy looks at the human body as a whole, an interrelated system
that when given the right conditions, can heal itself.
Your naturopath will take a full case history of
your health this may take 45minutes to an hour, your naturopath may ask
you to come back for follow up tests to determine the right treatment
plan for you. In your first consult you may just go away with a few
dietary changes to implement, this may also include some supplement or
herbal remedies. Remember every case is individual and everyone gets
their own specific lifestyle and dietary program from our Naturopaths.
Your Naturopath may also suggest other forms of therapy to help assist
in the rejuvenation of your health, for example, Bowen, massage, yoga or
simply exercise. Regular contact and follow up consults in the initial
stages will ensure that you get the maximum results for your health.
Once results are achieved you may only need to see your Naturopath once
every 6 months for a health review.
WHAT
IS BOWEN THERAPY?
Bowen
Therapy is a non invasive therapy involving a series of selectively
placed transverse muscle-fibre movements to stimulate the soft tissue
(fascia) found under the skin. The effect creates an electrical charge
within the connective tissue and a window of opportunity for the fascia
to become re-hydrated which in turn assists the structures housed within
this tissue (your nerves, muscles, lymph, vascular structures and
organs). This results in improved function in these structures, leading
to improved health.
Bowen is safe to use on anyone from newborns to the elderly. It may
benefit any condition from sports injuries to chronic or organic
complaints.
The number of treatments you will require will depend on the severity of
the condition being treated and the general hydration of your body. For
most conditions 3 treatments over a 2 - 3 week period will be
sufficient. However, some cases need more treatments closer together and
others need more ongoing treatments. The initial treatment will take 45
– 60 minutes and repeat treatments will take 25 – 45 minutes. About 98%
of clients notice an improvement after the first treatment, usually
before they even get off the treatment table. A small percentage of
clients may not notice much change initially, but often comment on an
improvement within a few days or in other areas of the body not directly
treated.
