Therapeutic ultrasound refers generally to any type of ultrasonic procedure that uses ultrasound for therapeutic benefit.

Ultrasound is a method of stimulating the tissue beneath the skin's surface using very high frequency sound waves.

How Is Ultrasound Applied? An Ultrasound gel is used on the affected area, in order to reduce friction and assist in the transmission of the ultrasonic waves. During the treatment the head of the ultrasound probe is kept in constant motion. What Does Ultrasound Feel Like? While you are receiving an ultrasound treatment, you will most likely not feel anything happening, except perhaps a slight warming sensation or tingling around the area being treated.

Is this the only treatment I need?

This treatment is generally used in conjunction with massage, tens, gentle stretching and manipulation. Debbie will assess your injury and give you advice for further treatments. Perhaps this may involve certain stretches or yoga positions that will aid in your recovery.

How long will it take to recover?

It really depends on the nature of the injury and the client’s lifestyle. We have had reports from clients with recurring problems who tell us they have experienced much quicker recovery times than in previous attacks. (previously without the ultrasound therapy.)

Case study – On the Monday, a 44 year old woman came to me with acute back pain caused by ‘twisting awkwardly.’ She was unable to stand comfortably and found walking was very difficult and painful. She had one Ultrasound treatment on the Monday and I instructed her on a series of stretches to practice at home. She had another treatment on the Wednesday and by Friday was back in her Yoga class. She was astonished at how quickly she had recovered to what she said was “90%  back to normal” 

There are three primary benefits to ultrasound. The first is the speeding up of the healing process from the increase in blood flow in the treated area. The second is the decrease in pain from the reduction of swelling and edema. The third is the gentle massage of muscles tendons and/ or ligaments in the treated area because no strain is added and any scar tissue is softened.

Holistic massage is an ancient method of healing that clears the lymphatic drainage system and releases toxins from the body. By recognizing that illness and stress affects not only our physical but also our emotional, spiritual and mental well-being, holistic massage allows the body's natural healing abilities to come forth and balance the entire body as a whole.

Holistic massage can lead to better circulation, less physical tension and deeper breathing, which oxygenates the entire body. There are also many emotional and mental benefits from holistic massage

Reiki - "spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Thai yoga Massage

Deeply rooted in the Buddhist tradition, Thai Yoga Massage is as much meditation and compassion in action as it is a highly efficient therapy for body, mind and spirit.

Thai Yoga Massage is a truly wonderful experience.  Its primary aim is to restore and balance the body’s energy system which comprises of a multitude of energy lines that run through the body.

Due to physical or emotional trauma, bad posture, injuries or limiting belief systems this energy can get trapped or blocked, causing physical and emotional disease.

Thai Yoga Massage with its amazing multitude of techniques and adjustments can release these blockages and bring the body back to its natural equilibrium where perfect balance and wellbeing are present.
