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.
