Bugs are our best friend My nursing background keeps my feet on the ground and I am sceptical about health trends, but emerging research about the importance of a good balance of gut bacteria is compelling. Scientists increasingly realise that this balance is vital: It improves digestion, regulates immunity, protects against disease-causing bacteria, produces vitamins and helps regulate weight. Gut flora imbalance is linked to digestive problems (from irritable bowel syndrome to Chron’s disease), eczema, asthma, auto-immune problems, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and chronic fatigue syndrome. There is even evidence linking autism and depression to our resident gut bacteria. How do we know if we have a problem and what can we do about it? Anyone with bloating or irritable bowel issues should suspect an imbalanced gut flora. However, all of us may benefit from upping our levels of the friendly bacteria, especially if we have chronic health problems like poor immunity, fatigue or depression. I arrange stool microbiology tests for people with severe digestive problems. This accurately shows the levels and types of gut bacteria and helps us target treatment with either probiotics or natural herbal remedies. Unfortunately
most GPs are reluctant to carry out these tests, so they must be arranged privately. Recent research shows that many well-known probiotic brands are largely ineffective and high in added sugar, which actually feeds bad bacteria! Fortunately, we can make our own probiotic-rich fermented foods like sauerkraut, yoghurt and kefir. Shop bought sauerkraut is usually pasteurised, so it is best to make your own. Add a tablespoon or two to your daily diet and the lactic-acid producing bacteria will inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in your gut. However, if you have severe digestive problems or suspected candida/gut flora imbalance, start with very small amounts or seek advice as fermented foods can exacerbate problems in sensitive people. Sauerkraut recipe 1 medium white cabbage; 1-2 carrots; caraway, cumin seeds, ginger; 1 tbsp. salt; 3tbsp. water; 1 probiotic containing Lactobacillus Plantarum Set aside 2 outer cabbage leaves. Finely grate the remaining cabbage and carrots, add spices to taste, salt, water and the probiotic. Pound everything together with the end of a rolling pin for 10 minutes. Pack tightly into a clean kilner jar, push down

The Rossiter System Q&A Where does the Rossiter System come from? The system was developed by Richard Rossiter, a former US helicopter pilot who endured severe shoulder pain for over a decade after being shot down in Vietnam. He became a Certified Advanced Rolfer and used his knowledge to develop the Rossiter System of Workouts. His goal is to help as many people as possible to relieve pain, regain mobility and return to the activities they enjoy, whatever their age. What is the Rossiter System? The Rossiter System involves a series of stretches performed with two people, which aims to help improve flexibility, boost performance and deliver immediate pain relief. Unlike muscular stretching, it targets the body’s connective tissue/fascial system, which holds everything together and gives your body its shape. As a result of overuse, trauma or injury, connective tissue can shorten and tighten. The Rossiter System techniques use weight and active stretching to loosen and lengthen the entire network of tissue to its natural state, thereby relieving pain. How Does It Work? Two people work together: the client, known as the Person In Charge (PIC) and the therapist, 2
known as the Coach. During a treatment, known as a Workout, the PIC lies on the floor fully clothed, whilst the Coach adds weight with his/her foot to anchor the tissue in place. The PIC will then find any aches and pains and work hard to stretch out the connective tissue that has tightened. The PIC will also be asked to hold what is known as a ‘lock’. This is a tissue lock of the feet and sometimes the upper body that locks the connective tissue in place, thus making the stretches more effective. Why does the System use feet?
Rossiter
The weight and warmth of the foot loosens tissue so that it stretches more easily and freely and makes it more pliable for deep work. The foot is a powerful tool that adds smooth, consistent weight without making the client feel a need to resist and also protects and Coach’s wrists and hands. What are the Benefits? The Rossiter System may help to relieve a wide range of aches and pains, gently realign the hips and shoulders, as well as improve mobility, range of movement, flexibility and sports performance. How quick are the results? Most people feel relief after their

With chronic pain, it may take longer for the body to return to a natural pain free state. How often should clients have a Rossiter Workout? When first commencing Rossiter System Workouts and depending how many aches and pains a client has and how long they have had the pain, weekly or fortnightly Workouts maybe needed. After this, monthly maintenance Workouts are appropriate.

How they do it in China Matthew and Sarah talk about why they set up a community clinic and why they love it. What is a community clinic? M: It’s where several people are treated in one room at the same time. It’s the model used for most acupuncture in China, and it’s gaining popularity in the UK. Why did you set up a community clinic? S: We wanted to make acupuncture more economically accessible. A community clinic is a great way to do that. The friendly environment it creates also makes it a fun place to work! How do your patients feel about it? M: They love it! Some of our patients have found new friends at the clinic, others come along with family members, and some enjoy a snooze while the needles do their thing. We were even nominated for the British Acupuncture Council Heroes Award, and we got short listed! What about privacy? S: We take privacy seriously, so we ask everyone to respect each other’s confidentially and we get our clinical observers to sign a confidentiality agreement. At their first session, new patients fill in a form that asks all the personal diagnostic questions, 4
so nobody has to say anything embarrassing out loud. We favour acupuncture points on the lower legs and arms, and use gowns and blankets if we need to, so there’s no undressing involved. What are clinical observers? M: Student acupuncturists who come along to observe treatment happening as part of their degree course. We also gave a talk to the Cirencester Hospital Minor Injuries Unit’s Consultant, nurses and student nurses. What do people come to the clinic for? S: Many different things, especially conditions where NICE recommends acupuncture, like headaches, migraines and back pain. The British Acupuncture Council has published research into acupuncture for over 60 different conditions. Because it costs less than private treatment, people can also use acupuncture to maintain good health. This is actually how acupuncture is traditionally used in China. M: It’s great that people are thinking more in terms of maintaining their health. The Student Welfare Officer at the Royal Agricultural University has helped us to open a second community clinic on campus to help students with their stress levels and to keep them well.

Others move between clinics when it suits them. This works really well for our ladies going through fertility treatment, for example.

Harvesting your potential These days if you google “summer festivals” a long list of wonderful music festival events appears. The word “festival” means “a period set aside for celebration or feasting often of religious significance.” Summer festivals across the world have always been a time of expansive celebration of abundance. When we are lucky enough to have warm summer days, we start to relax, we are drawn outdoors, our thoughts turn to letting go, holidays, being with friends, having fun. Yet the economic wheel of necessity keeps turning and work calls. We keep our fingers crossed that the sunny days coincide with our days off and those revising for exams hope for dull days to sit them on.

It is when we accept who we are and where we are today, know what we are aiming for and genuinely want it, know that it is possible to get to where we want to be and make the commitment to do so, that we are able to create the balance we are seeking. The expansiveness of the summer months can allow us to explore our dreams, discover what we truly want and then take the steps to achieve those dreams.

Mindfulness Q&A What is Mindfulness? It’s a domain of mind that we all already have – a “beingawake” state of mind. Often we are zoned out with planning the future, ruminating on the past, or just on the auto-pilot of habit. Mindfulness, or presence of mind, is the awareness that arises from paying attention, without judgement, to things as they are, moment by moment. Is Mindfulness the same as Meditation? The practice of Meditation means spending time deliberately, with the intention of kindly noticing your experience from moment to moment. It is the mind investigating itself – noticing its own habits, how it monkeyjumps and wanders – but firstly stabilising it, e.g. with focus on the breath, body or sounds. This inevitably fosters Mindfulness, but it is not exactly the same. Can Mindfulness be learnt? We all already possess this domain of mind and we can all learn to meditate to foster greater Mindfulness. All you need is the intention to pay attention to your present-moment experience, with friendly acceptance. You don’t need any skills to start with, or be a particular sort of person. You don’t have to empty your mind or control your thoughts. It may be possible to learn alone,
but most find learning in a group far more effective. You will learn everyday Mindfulness skills, more formal practices and theory. How do I choose Mindfulness course?
a
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) are 8-week courses, two hours per week, where there is considerable evidence of effectiveness. MBCT has gold standard evidence for those with recurring depression and is recommended by government guidelines. As there is currently no regulation, you need to check the teacher’s training and experience. Ask if they adhere to the Guidelines for Mindfulness Teachers, found on Bangor University’s website: http://www.bangor. ac.uk/Mindfulness/documents/ MBA%20teacherGPG-Feb%20 10.pdf. Talk to them and see if they sound authentic. If you have depression or anxiety, check that they are qualified in this area, e.g. as a psychologist or mental health nurse. Don’t be swayed by cheap prices. Rather, find the course you feel most comfortable with and enquire about a discount if necessary.

Overcoming infertility The problem Emma (33) and Mike (35) came to see me after trying for a baby for 5 years. Mike’s sperm count was at the low end of the healthy range. From a Chinese medical perspective, Mike’s high stress levels and post-sex exhaustion meant that work could be done to improve his fertility. Emma had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and was taking metformin. Emma’s PCOS symptoms included difficulty losing weight, PMT, and irregular periods that were very painful. Emma never had a positive result when she used ovulation sticks and her irregular cycle made it impossible to guess when she and Mike should be trying to get pregnant. Time off from trying At their first session, I advised Mike and Emma to give themselves 3 months off trying for a baby: It takes 74 days for a new batch of sperm to mature, and it would take about 3 months to bring Emma’s system into balance. A team effort Mike and Emma wanted getting pregnant to be a team effort, so Mike decided to have acupuncture even though his sperm were in the healthy

range. During their 3 months off, Mike went to bed earlier, swapped his briefs for boxers, ate sperm-boosting foods, and had 6 acupuncture treatments. After 3 months he felt relaxed, had energy after sex, and a test showed a higher sperm count. Emma and I talked in detail about her diet and chose a couple of small changes that would make the biggest difference for her. She also started cycling to work, learned how to recognise her ovulation symptoms, and came for weekly acupuncture treatments. Ovulation at last In the fourth month, Emma had her first clearly positive ovulation stick test result and her period arrived on time. Her PMT improved, and her period was almost painless. Emma did not seem to ovulate in her next cycle and her period was a couple of weeks late. The following month, however, she recognised her ovulation symptoms and her and Mike tried again to get pregnant. Happy news! A fortnight later, Emma was pleased that she had no PMT at all, but felt nauseous and tired. When I took her pulses, I recognised the tell-tale qualities associated with pregnancy. I advised Emma to take a pregnancy test. Emma

What Emma said “I thought it would just be some needles, but it was really different. It was good to get advice that was actually relevant for me and Mike … Seeing little signs that things were moving forward really helped with the frustration. The acupuncture definitely also helped with the emotional side of things.”
Become a Sports Therapist Cirencester’s own Cotswold Academy of Health and Beauty has a reputation for producing some of the best Sports Therapists around. We asked the Academy’s Principal, Chris Philips, about becoming a Sports Therapist. Q: I’m not sporty. Can I still be a Sports Therapist? A: You don’t have to be sporty to be a Sports Therapist. In fact, many practitioners who have trained as Sports Therapists refer to what they do as ‘remedial massage’, and in Australia, it’s called ‘neuromuscular therapy’. It’s really about understanding and working with the musculoskeletal system to relieve pain and make people well. Frail clients benefit just as much from treatment as athletes do. Q: How do I decide if Sports Therapy is for me? A: Talk to as many practitioners as possible. Ask about the things that are important to you, like what they find satisfying about their work, who they treat, what their earning potential is, and so on. We have open evenings every Thursday from 6-9pm where you can drop in and have a chat to Sports Therapists and a variety of other healthcare practitioners.
Q: What qualifications do I need? A: To start, you’ll need an ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy. I also recommend getting your Level 4 Certificate in Sports Massage Therapy, as this covers many of the most useful techniques that you’ll need to help your clients. We’ve just launched a new course that combines both qualifications. Q: How long will it take to qualify? A: It usually takes about 6 months to qualify, depending on whether you choose an intensive course or a part-time course that fits around your work. Training includes time in the classroom, as well as a lot of hands-on practice when you complete your case studies. Q: What will I need to learn? A: As well as massage techniques, you’ll learn about the principles of health and fitness, professional practice and regulations, soft tissue injury and dysfunction, subjective and objective assessment, treatment modalities, and injury prevention and management. You can always get a taste of what the course is like by becoming a
