Concussions affecting brain health

What value do you put on your brain? Concussion recovery and brain health are two conditions that go hand-in-hand.

For almost 20 years, most people who have walked through the doors of the Gill Redden CranioSacral therapy clinic for help with a concussion or concussion-related symptoms had jammed cranial bones.

Gill successfully treats people with concussion symptoms and those who want to look after their brains. She takes a long-term view on a healthy brain going into old age. Gill believes people who are symptom-free after a concussion still have some of their skull bones jammed. This means that the blood or nerve supply can be compromised.

The membranes that are surrounding and protecting the brain can suffer the trauma also, and they may twist or kink.

When things aren’t moving well in either the skull, sacrum or spinal canal or the membranes, it means that the spinal fluid can’t do a good job of nourishing and detoxifying the brain. Jammed bones can also have an impact on the lobes of the brain nearby, and can affect the way a person thinks or behaves.

Over the years, incremental starving of the brain can mean trouble, especially later in life.

The brain produces a lot of waste that needs clearing away seamlessly. If waste is not being removed this can be a problem over the following years.

Statistics identify about 80 percent of concussions are not related to sports injuries. These may be the result of traffic accidents, work-related or home injuries, falls, general activity, or violent acts.

It is imperative to have good brain health so every individual can realise their own abilities and optimise their cognitive, emotional, psychological and behavioural functions to cope with life situations.

So include having a CranioSacral treatment with Gill Redden as part of your total wellbeing. Make brain health your priority; you only have one brain.

spring Greet glowwith a

As the season of rebirth and renewal looms closer, there’s no fi ner way to greet spring than with a clear, glowing complexion that radiates good health and wellbeing.

Beckenham Beauty and Medi Spa provides two appearance treatments that do precisely that.

Nano needling is a noninvasive way to deliver hydration, nutrients and vitamins into the topmost layer of the epidermis.

This provides an absorption rate of 97 percent, which then triggers a self-rejuvenation process.

Unlike micro needling, nano needling only penetrates the skin to a 0.25mm depth and is designed to exfoliate the skin and stimulate cell turnover, rather than to penetrate deep into the dermis.

Laser hair removal is another in-house treatment that utilises the Diode laser, the golden standard for hair removal. Diode lasers deliver high frequency, low fl uence pulses and can be safely used on all six skin types.

Premium skincare brands Image and emerginC (the latter incorporating clinicallyproven cosmeceutical and medical-grade ingredients with a sustainability focus) are available for purchase, enabling clientele to continue their “skin for spring” regime at home.

Director Prue Campbell welcomes walk-in clients alongside regulars at the established beauty salon in the heart of Beckenham’s shopping precinct.

Phone: 03 331 6133 for more information.

Ancient healing massage

Thai massage is an ancient healing practice that originated over 2500 years ago.

The gentle pressure and stretching techniques manipulated in Thai massage help to lower stress, increase energy, and improve athletic performance.

Beauty Progress offers an authentic and therapeutic Thai massage for both men and women that aims to soothe, cleanse, and restore the body’s equilibrium.

An authentic Thai massage is an allencompassing and holistic approach to well-being, which focuses on the physical, emotional and spiritual states of the individual.

The spiritual aspect of Thai massage is long recognised, but continued research on the health benefits of Thai massage demonstrates its potential for aiding in pain reduction, stress reduction, and improving flexibility, circulation, body alignment and posture, and deeper breathing.

Beauty Progress is located at Unit 1 – 171 Waltham Road, Christchurch. Phone 03 379 4315. Email info@beautyprogress.co.nz.

Physically

Thai massage alleviates stress, invigorates muscles and joints, and releases harmful toxin build-up.

Emotionally

Thai massage clears channels that supply natural energy flow to the body, which leads to a sense of calmness and clarity of thought.

Spiritually

Thai massage slows thoughts, relieves tension, pain or tiredness, and reconnects the person to their strong, reflective inner self.
