Oriental Medicine resolves pain

Maxine works her special type of magic to help people with pain:

Imagine a physical therapy that can resolve pain caused by injury, chronic physical problems or long term health issues & which can leave you feeling pain & stress free, & relaxed.

It may sound like heaven but practitioner Maxine Bull can turn it into reality. Maxine specializes in integrated oriental medicine. Using a combination of Thai massage, Tui Na & acupuncture, her excellent reputation – built up over the last 5 years – ensures she is in demand by people with muscle & joint problems causing chronic pain; sportsmen & women who want to improve their performance, & individuals suffering from health problems such as depression, anxiety or migraine.
She explains. "If you visit the doctor for your problem he/she will most likely prescribe drugs which treat your symptoms & not the root cause of your problem. You may even develop further problems: side effects as a result of taking medication. Eventually you’ll be referred to a specialist but response time slow. The result? You are suffering for a long time.
With me people usually get healed quickly & successfully through a combination of physical therapy and/or acupuncture. Massage heals from the outside in whilst acupuncture heals from the inside out, and as acupuncture strengthens the body the speed & depth of healing is quicker than with other physical therapies so the range & scope of problems I can treat is greater”.

Thai massage stretches & relaxes those parts of the body that other massage does not reach. Maxine uses her own body- hands, feet, elbows - to help stretch muscles & restore mobility to joints. “It wakes people up & makes them really aware of their body”. Thai massage is designed to stretch every muscle just a little more than it normally would: the result is looser joints & greater flexibility.

Tui Na uses acupressure, manipulation & vigorous massage to relieve pain & restore energy flows. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into particular points on the body to relieve pain & accelerate recovery. While you lie fully clothed on a mat your body is given a complete workout. It leaves you feeling like you’ve been dismantled & put back together again – but in better shape.

Maxine says "I’ve got 2 aims: to resolve acute injuries rapidly, & help people manage the pain or symptoms of long term health problems. I am very treatment focused. People come to me for a positive outcome & that's what I aim to give them. I can successfully treat a whole range of physical, emotional & internal common health issues ranging from sciatica & lower back pain; frozen shoulder & neck problems; muscle problems such as repetitive strain injury & tennis elbow; joint problems such as arthritis; neuromuscular conditions like fibromyalgia, ME and Bells Palsy, through to difficulties such as depression, insomnia, migraine & PMS”.

Clients usually start to recover fairly quickly but will normally require a course of treatment for lasting, positive results. Although they will feel more relaxed afterwards treatment can be fairly strenuous. Together with we plan your road to recovery.

Maxine’s Thai massage is very popular as a novel Christmas present idea & Maxine offers gift vouchers for those who want to treat their friends or relatives to something really special. email: yogamax.max@virgin.net

Limited Edition Essences

Star Remedies has released three new limited edition remedies created by their special associate Deborah. These are ONE, Communion & Commando. Here are the details:-

After doing a foundation course in Art and Design, Deborah went on to do a Degree in Dance, Drama and Sociology. However, after a prophetic dream at the ago of twenty six she was called to step onto a different path altogether, a path which took her on a profund spiritual journey, and between the ages of twenty eight and thirty three she had a series of transformational visions. As a result of these experiences, she undertook training in a variety of healing arts all of which she uses, as appropriate, in her healing practise. As part of her toolkit she creates her own vibrational remedies. These remedies are transmitted from the inner levels and are not available outside of her healing practise. However, by arrangement with her principle inner level contact, she has agreed to make three of these remedies available to a wider community so that those who feel drawn to them may experience their benefits.
These three remedies, ONE, Communion and Commando, may be safely used by anyone. They do not need any special training in order to be applied effectively as they are appropriate and relevant to everyone at this time. However, their optimal effect will be felt by those consciously engaged in the work of personal healing and transformation and those genuinely seeking a catalyst for growth and change. These are initiatory remedies, i.e. they set a process in motion. All three of them are concerned with bringing us back into alignment with our essential nature.

ONE - is the blueprint for the universal humanities. Those who are particularly clairvoyant may actually see this blueprint when they take the remedy and without exception they describe it as an incredibly beautiful. pale blue and silver, three dimensional mandala that is both perfectly still and constantly in motion at the same time. this remedy works to awaken us to our memory of our true nature and realign with our universal origins. principle chakra affected - Crown Chakra

Communion - works to open us to the awareness that we are not alone and to transform the inner conflicts that continue to generate our illusions of isolation and seperateness. Some may experience a profound emotional release when they take this remedy. Principle chakras affected - Heart and Throat

Commando - the sword of discriminating awareness. Works to align our instincts with our intution so that we may be alert to self deception, develop trust in our own inner knowing, and avoid falling into illusion and delusion, both our own and others . This is a very grounding remedy. Some may experience a strong feeling of kinship with a particular species of animal and feel that the instinctual wisdom of that animal is part of them. Principle chakras affected - Sacral, Base & Brow.
