HYDROTHERAPY Discover the health benefits of hydrotherapy Castel Froma Specialist Care Centre is dedicated to providing long term care to clients affected by brain injury or neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis.

Provided on site is 24 hour nursing care and a therapy team who offer slow-stream rehabilitation to enable our residents to maintain their independence for as long as possible, in a safe and caring environment.

We are very fortunate to have the facility of a hydrotherapy pool at Castel Froma, which is used by our residents, private companies and members of the general public. Aquatic therapy (hydrotherapy) has many benefits to health including reduction of pain, increased range of movement, reduced muscle stiffness and increased strength, improves balance and core stability as well as being a relaxing and pleasant environment to exercise in, improving general wellbeing. Our pool is kept

at a comfortable 32°C and is easily accessible.

In November 2014, a new outpatient hydrotherapy service was developed to promote the work we do at Castel Froma as well as improve the use and access of the pool to the public.

Currently we are treating clients with low back pain, recent orthopaedic surgery, acute stages of neurological conditions and to improve general fitness. All new clients have a one to one land based session with one of our physiotherapists to assess suitability for the pool, followed by a one to one water session.

We then offer the choice to continue one to one sessions or to join a ‘medical swim’ session to continue exercises in the water independently.

All of our physiotherapists are CSP and HCPC registered and are trained in Aquatic Therapy under the ATACP.

A recent comment from one of our clients: “I find hydrotherapy has been very helpful following successful knee surgery and I have exercises to maintain improvement. I also have Osteoarthritis in my arms and shoulders and now have exercises to improve strength and movement. Mel is lovely; she makes you work hard but is lovely with it!”

CREATING CHANGE IN A BLINK OF AN EYE Bob Brennan explains the benefits of a new therapy to Leamington Spa ello my name is Rob Brennan and I’ve recently opened my Therapy and Coaching practice here in Leamington Spa. I’ve trained in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and more recently in IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) the latter of which I’m so excited about I took the Trainers Training and am

the only qualified trainer in IEMT in Warwickshire and the West Midlands. It’s IEMT that I will primarily address today.

Research shows that people who are experiencing some form of emotional, traumatic or behavioural problem can take up to 2 years from recognising the problem to actually seeking help. One of the major stumbling

“Creating change in a blink of an eye” Integral Eye Movement Therapy A Brief Change Intervention for addressing negative emotions or states of mind where past, negative events may now be seen as: • Fears or Phobias • • Anxiety • • Panic Attacks • • Low Self Esteem • • Confidence Issues • • PTSD • • Depression • • Feeling Stuck • To book an appointment call Rob Brennan on 0755 241 2087 or drop me a line to rapidchangetherapies@gmail.com Rob Brennan IEMT Trainer and Practioner, NLP Master Practitioner and EFT Level 3 Practitioner

“

Integral Eye Movement Therapy has been a highly effective tool, that can be simply applied to many of the diverse issues brought by clients, with powerful results. I highy recommend Andy Austin’s IEMT work, both as a therapist and trainer, whose expertise is uncontained by the boundaries of the conventional. As a result I would advise you to expect the unexpected, with the exception that you can always expect to be impressed.

Kim Leader, Trainer, Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist

blocks is actually having to talk about it, this is especially true with traumatic events.

With our new way of approaching therapy in IEMT, if the client chooses, he or she no longer needs to talk about the events leading up to or surrounding the negative emotions or state of mind they now find themselves in – this is a great bonus and allows us to seek assistance a lot earlier than might otherwise happen.

So what happens in a typical consultation? Well, you get to not talk about the problem, I get to ask very specific but nonintrusive questions and I ask you to move your eyes in a specific set of patterns

“

H

and more often than not changes occur.

The IEMT tag line is ‘Change In The Blink Of An Eye’ and whilst some clients have experienced major positive shifts in a short period of time naturally nothing is guaranteed but if you’ve tried other therapies and interventions and still feel things haven’t changed or if you are reaching out for the first time I’d love for you to consider IEMT. With over 10 years in the world of coaching and brief change therapies I’m excited about what can be achieved with IEMT and I think you will be too.

Why Go to the Dentist?

Can flossing once a day and visiting your dentist regularly increase your life expectancy?

Going to the dentist is an important element in staying physically healthy. So many health issues have been connected to deteriorated dental health, that you’re risking your entire wellbeing!

So, why is it important that you go to the dentist?

look younger naturally

• Prevent gum disease.

Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the western An American study by world. The more serious your gum CDC has found that disease, the more it negatively people with gingivitis impacts both your oral and overall have a early mortality health. Gum disease ravages your rate 23-46% higher gums and teeth, sometimes to the than those who don’t. point where patients experience pain, loss of bone, and worsening health issues. Gum disease has been linked to numerous systemic illnesses, including cardiovasular disease and stroke as well as pancreatic cancer, diabetes, and lung disease.

Visiting the hygienist is an excellent way of keeping your mouth in tip top condition. Although this service isn’t available on the NHS (so you will probably pay around the same in NHS and Private practices), it removes tartar build up and plague from the dingiest of places making your mouth a healthier place.

• Discover early signs of cavities.

Tooth decay, also called dental caries or cavities, is caused by acid-forming bacteria that dissolve the enamel of your teeth, causing holes and dark spots. If not treated in the early stages, decay will eventually reach the nerve and the bacteria will infect the interior tissues. Gum disease, lack of consistent oral hygiene, and poor diets can increase the risks of getting cavities. The earlier decay is discovered and treated, the less likely you’ll need root canal therapy or extraction.

• Check for oral cancer.

If you get regular check-ups, your dentist will check you for oral cancer. Early detection saves lives. and reduce the likelihood of dental emergencies. When you see your dentist at least once every six months, it’s much easier for the doctor to detect problems and correct them before they turn into emergencies. It’s far easier on your comfort level and your pocket to deal with issues at the onset, rather than later on when treatments become complex and expensive.

• Maintain good oral health.

Regular checkups are a vital part of your oral healthcare plan.

Not only should you brush, floss, and rinse with fluoridated products, but you should also see your dentist to ensure your oral health stays in excellent condition. Dental hygienists can professionally clean your teeth, doctors can diagnose and treat a variety of dental conditions, and you can feel good about taking care of yourself and your family.

Mother’s Day

Feature

6 of the

Best

Animal Mums

1. Cheetah

Cheetah mothers raise their cubs alone. They move their litter every four days to prevent a build‑up of smell that predators can track.

After 18 months of training as hunters, the cheetah cubs leave their mothers and form a sibling group that will stay together for another six months.

2. Orangutan

During the first two years of life, young orangutans rely entirely on their mothers for both food and transportation. The mums stay with their young for 6–7 years, teaching them where to find food, how to eat and build a sleeping nest. Female orangutans are known to “visit” their mothers until they reach the age of 15 or 16.

3. Emperor Penguin After laying an egg, the mother emperor penguin leaves it with a male who protects the fragile hard shell from the elements. The mother then travels up to 50 miles to reach the ocean and fish. She later returns to the hatching site to regurgitate the food to the newly hatched chicks. Using the warmth of her own brood pouch, the mother keeps the chick warm and safe.

4. Elephant Elephants live in a matriarchal society, so other females in the social group help a calf to its feet after birth and show the baby how to nurse. The older elephants adjust the pace of the herd so the calf can keep stride. By watching the adults, the calf learns which plants to eat and how to access them.

The females regularly make affectionate contact with the calf.

5

Polar Bears

6

Harp Seal As if raising a child on a moving sheet of ice patrolled by polar bears and fur poachers weren’t hard enough, the harp seal mum nurses her pup on 48% fat seal milk continuously for 12 days without eating.

Her pup will gain an average of 5 lb. per day during this 12-day nursing period, while Mum herself will lose about 7 lb. per day.

Polar bear cubs stick by their mums for two years to learn the survival skills needed for the cold climate. The mothers dig into deep snow drifts, creating a den protected from the elements.

The cubs leave the den in spring to get used to outside temperatures before learning to hunt.

...and 1 of the worst...

Perhaps the most famous bad mother - the cuckoo tricks other birds into raising her own youngster, freeing her up to enjoy life as a single bird. She does this by laying her eggs in the nest of another bird.

Unfortunately for her victims, the cuckoo chick is hardly a grateful adoptee. Instead, the chick hatches earlier and grows faster than he other bird’s real brood, forcing the smaller chicks out of the nest to die.

Shame on them!

Beautiful Artificial Lawns

without the upkeep!

Clean and safe ■ No mowing ■ No weeds No more muddy patches Hard wearing ■ Unaffected by weather/uv stabilized Green and usable all year round ■ Perfect for pets

Finding an artificial grass product that has the look of natural grass was never an option until recently. But with developments in the last 2-3 years we can now offer you a choice of looks that will give you the dream lawn all year round. We can even fit a carpet that will look like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of summer with a mixture of green fibres and beige to give that thatched look. We use a new monofilament fibre so the feel of the carpet is soft to the touch and friendlier to animals.

...perfect for ch ildren’s play areas too! nused space !
