Free Taster Day

Saturday 3rd March 2007 10.30 - 16:00

Most people have heard about complementary health treatments, but with the vast range available it is sometimes hard to know which is the one to go for.

The Holistic Centre in Godalming, to help people find out more, is holding a free taster day on Saturday 3rd March 2007 between 10.30am and 4pm, in which many of their therapies will be available for free.

Available will be reflexology, a therapy that works on the feet, stimulating "reflex points" allowing the corresponding organ, gland, muscle, bone or system to be accessed and re-balanced.

Also available will be Chirokinetic Therapy, which is a revolutionary therapy that among other things tests the body for allergies and works to treat them. Pilates is a physical fitness system that works to develop one’s core postural muscles, which in turn strengthens and realigns the body.

For those people who want a massage that is firmer, deeper and more therapeutic, then Remedial Massage will be for them, whilst those looking for an exploration into the mysteries of their dreams will like Dream Analysis that will look into what they are and what they mean.

Acupuncture, although often described as a means of pain relief, is in fact, used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses and problems. And finally there is ChiBall that is a unique exercise technique incorporating ancient Eastern techniques with modern exercise concepts.

Welcome to the new Holistic Centre blog, which will contain updates about things going on at the Holistic Centre Godalming.

On Sunday 19th November we had a very successful free taster day in which over 50 sessions were taken in therapies including yoga, astrology, osteopathy and indian head massage. We plan on holding another day sometime in the new year and if you would like to reserve a place then please email us at enquiries@holisticcentre.co.uk. The therapies on offer haven't yet been decided so if you have any favourites that you would like to try, please let us know.

Recently we have seen the return to the Centre of Keith Graham who is a certified rolfer. Keith worked at the Centre previously for a couple of years and left to pursue his clinics in Petersfield, Guildford and on the Isle of Wight. We are very happy to welcome him back as one the best Rolfers in the country. Keith shall be working at the Centre every Thursday from 3pm until late, though by arrangement can be available earlier if necessary.

For those that do not know about Rolfing I have included an exert from our website, written by Keith, which should explain it in further detail:

Why Rolfing Works

Rolfing offers a chance to change, not only on a structural level but more profoundly; Rolfing effects the emotional and spiritual body too. Although the goal of Rolfing is not to “fix” but to balance, a recent survey of my past clients showed that over three quarters of those that came with a specific issue went away pain free or with a significant (over 60%) improvement.

In general, a Rolfer is concerned with three things: Structure, coordination and perception.

Structure

Rolfers have a unique understanding of the myofascial structure particularly of the fascial web, which forms a network connecting the entire body. Muscles that are tense and connective tissue which is too tight will pull bones out of place and restrict joint mobility. It is of little use putting the bones back if the tissues which pull on them are not balanced first.

Coordination

For every muscle which contracts to move a joint, another one, somewhere else must be able to relax by degrees to allow the movement. In the human body 610 muscles must coordinate the movement of 210 bones - this is an incredibly complex procedure. Injury, poor posture and lack of awareness can effect coordination, causing muscles to work against each other, making movement difficult and clumsy and most importantly, wasting valuable energy.

Perception

Our internal self image is the sum total of our lives so far and may reflect past or current trauma, learned behaviour from childhood or false beliefs about ourselves and the world around. Rolfers are trained to differentiate structural imbalance from emotional layering and to deal sensitively with perceptual challenges, working only with what is available and not forcing or encouraging change before the person is ready to accept it.
