Acupuncture Angel
Angela is a graduate of the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading. She chose to study at the college because it specialises in bringing together two main styles of acupuncture, whereas most other colleges focus on one or the other. From her home-town of Leamington Spa in Warwickshire, Angela is therefore able to treat patients in whichever way is most appropriate to them individually, and the combination of both styles of acupuncture can be very powerful indeed!

Acupuncture is the stimulation of points along pathways of the body which the Chinese call meridians. The ancient Chinese people discovered that these meridians cover the body's surface and connect internally to organs. It evolved into a system of healing as the connection between the skin and the organs was better understood and more sensitive ways of stimulation were devised. By stimulating specific points along meridians, qi is allowed to flow, and blockages are cleared. Acupuncture practitioners commonly use two main types of treatment to stimulate these points: the use of very fine needles or a by heating a herb known as moxa.

Yoga Works
Belinda has been practising yoga for over 20 years ever since she went to her first yoga class when she was 17. "I owe much to the many different teachers I have had both in England and abroad. My aim is to pass on my enthusiasm and spirit of enquiry about yoga to my own students. I firmly believe that yoga can be for everyone, all we have to do is to want to give it a go.

When can I start the Yoga sessions? From about 14/15 weeks of pregnancy, the symptoms of early pregnancy such as excessive tiredness and nausea often start to ease. Until then, you should focus on getting as much rest and relaxation as possible. Wait until you feel well enough to start your physical Yoga practice - for some women this is later than 14 weeks.

Do I need to have practised Yoga before? No – the sessions are all very gentle and assume that you are a beginner. If you have practiced Yoga in the past then this will be an added benefit although if you are used to stronger or more dynamic Yoga then come with an expectation of gentleness!

The Parkside Practice
Osteopaths use their hands both to investigate the underlying causes of pain and to administer treatment using a variety of manipulative techniques. These may include muscle and connective tissue stretching, rhythmic joint movements or high velocity thrust techniques to improve the range of movement of a joint or area. Gentle releasing techniques are often used, particularly when treating children or elderly patients.

Osteopathic Treatment Can Help More Conditions Than You Might Realise

Osteopathic treatment can help many musculoskeletal conditions. These include the common aches and pains due to strains, falls and overuse, as well as the more long term back and neck problems. It can often alleviate the problems associated with stress and tension including chronic headaches.

Esscentials
Physical and mental stress can cause ‘imbalances' in the body. These block the natural flow of energy, affecting the body's ability to function effectively. By applying a firm but gentle pressure to the reflex points on the feet or hands these blockages are released.

The body is then able to ‘rebalance' itself, circulation improves and a healing reaction can occur. Detoxification follows and a sense of well-being and self control is induced. The therapy is safe and gentle enough for all ages and a wide variety of conditions can be treated.
