Holistic Therapies at Wilmslow Physiotherapy

Holistic Therapies are increasingly being recognised as an effective way to address a wide range of complaints from muscle pain, insomnia, digestion to hormone imbalance, anxiety and joint mobility. By creating balance and harmony for the mind, body and spirit, a treatment of reflexology or aromatherapy is an excellent way to combat stress and improve well-being. Most people are not aware of the stress that they hold and carry with them at all times, which has major effects on our whole body and its systems. A series of relaxing treatments can help alleviate stress which in itself can result in excellent outcomes for chronic conditions that have struggled to be resolved with other more orthodox treatments.

Reflexology is usually focused on the feet (although hand reflexology is equally effective) and involves pressures being applied to a variety of ‘points’ to help rebalance, boost and calm the body and mind, whichever is required.
PMT, headaches, sciatic pain, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, all respond well to reflexology, along with many other symptoms.

Aromatherapy gives you all the benefits of massage with the added bonus of the therapeutic effects of essential oils. Along with increased joint mobility, decrease in inflammation, relief from muscle tightness and pain, and enhanced circulation and a myriad of other conditions, the fragrant oils can assist with alleviating stress and low mood, help boost your immune system and improve skin conditions. All this within the sheer delight of a full body massage!

 

For those whose condition is either brought about or aggravated by stress, both physical and mental, it should become a natural step to support and maximise the outcome of a series of physiotherapy sessions with an appropriate holistic therapy and treatment plan. Other therapies are available - Just ask to speak to Paul for more information.
